About the Department
The Department of Energy and Environment (DEE) at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Tiruchirappalli, originally established in 1995 as the Centre for Energy and Environmental Science and Technology (CEESAT), focuses on developing sustainable solutions for global energy and environmental challenges. Renamed in 2012, DEE offers an interdisciplinary M.Tech. program in Energy Engineering, which blends principles from energy systems, environmental technologies, and sustainability. The department actively engages in advanced research in areas such as carbon capture using microalgae, solar energy applications, wind energy, energy-efficient building design, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). DEE's laboratories are ISO 9001:2008 certified and NABL-accredited, enabling both academic research and industrial testing in fields like photovoltaic systems, effluent treatment, and energy system Modelling.

In addition to research and education, the department also provides consultancy services including energy audits, photovoltaic system design, water and waste material testing, and environmental monitoring for industries and institutions. DEE has implemented several notable pilot projects such as the Energy Efficient Building, which utilizes passive architectural techniques for minimizing energy consumption, and the Algal Shed, a project demonstrating the use of algae for wastewater treatment and CO₂ sequestration. These projects showcase the department’s commitment to innovation in sustainable infrastructure. Through its robust academic offerings, practical research, and real-world application, DEE continues to contribute significantly to energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Its interdisciplinary approach positions it as a key player in addressing the pressing global need for clean and efficient energy technologies.
