Introduction

SET is envisaged to be a leading technology developer through its distinguished research in sustainable energy technologies to meet the future energy challenges of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The program is a joint effort of various departments across the College of Engineering & the College of Science at King Saud University.

With the technology development as a guiding principle of the program, our research encompasses almost all the sustainable energy sources i.e. Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Biomass, Hydrogen and Nuclear in addition to Desalination as a key beneficiary of renewable sources . To further strengthen our efforts, we offer Graduate Studies & Training in these fields.
