Established in 1998, the Asian Energy Studies Centre (AESC, renamed in September 2014; previously the Hong Kong Energy Studies Centre) aims to be an internationally recognised hub for sustainable energy studies in the Asian region.

 

We are committed to pursuing excellence in academic research in the areas of sustainable energy, with a particular focus from the perspectives of governance in the Asian context. We promote informed energy decision-making and improve energy policies in this region, including Hong Kong, by creating new knowledge; providing practical policy recommendations; promoting knowledge exchange; facilitating stakeholder engagement; undertaking interdisciplinary collaborative research projects; and organizing academic workshops, public seminars as well as other engagement events.
