Risoe is a national laboratory under the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, carrying out research into science and technology. The overall objective of the research is to provide a knowledge base for promoting sustainable development within energy, industrial technology and bioproduction. Within the energy field, Risoe has an internationally leading position in wind energy research. The Systems Analysis Department of Risoe develops and applies analysis methods to improve decision-making of Danish society and international organisations on technological priorities, including a research programme on "Energy Systems Analysis". This is carried out by a multi-disciplinary team of about 10 scientists analysing economic and technical issues related to energy and environment fields, including: renewable energy; energy technology assessments; energy markets; modelling; and energy and environment policy instruments. In addition, the department includes the UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment, funded partly by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), with the overall objective of promoting the integration of sustainable development issues in energy policy and planning, particularly in developing countries.
