Through the Industrial Consortium, City’s Centre for Compressor Technology provides a forum for industry and academia to coordinate pre-commercial (TRL 1-3) research on industry-relevant compression technologies for the energy transformation sector. The industrial partners can also benefit from a tailor made service whilst fostering a broader cross-business sector understanding of compression technology developments.
The Centre started the Industrial Consortium to create a network of partners for addressing global challenges by performing world-leading research in compression and expansion technologies for future energy systems and expanding the scope by sourcing funds from research councils.
