At CINE, we generate KNOWLEDGE and create CAPACITY for ENERGY TRANSITION

A major change is taking place on planet Earth: the transition to a low-carbon economy, based on renewable energy sources and cleaner, more sustainable processes.

CINE was created in 2018 by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and Shell Brasil with the mission to actively participate in this energy transition through research, development and innovation of energy generation and storage technologies.

With highly specialized human resources, cutting-edge equipment and artificial intelligence tools, we work on promising new technologies to make them more efficient, economical and sustainable. Examples of these technologies include perovskite solar cells, sodium or lithium-air batteries, supercapacitors, floating wind turbines, photoelectrolyzers and fuel cells.

Our work takes place across four fronts:

  • Research at the frontier of knowledge
  • Technology transfer to industry
  • Training of professionals for the energy transition
  • Dissemination of scientific knowledge

Our center is multi-institutional. Under the leadership of Unicamp, USP and UFSCar, CINE brings together researchers from eleven Brazilian universities and research institutes, the majority from the state of São Paulo, to carry out the proposed projects within four research programs: Energy Generation, Advanced Energy Storage, Green Hydrogen and Computational Materials Design.

Collaborative work has been part of our proposal since the beginning. We have collaborations with some of the world’s leading research groups and partnerships with companies of all sizes so that, together, we can generate and implement the best solutions for the energy transition and a low-carbon economy.
