No part of Scottish life today is untouched by questions about climate change, global warming, and the possible consequences. In all walks of Scottish life people are keen to become involved in doing what they can to assist.

The Scottish Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF) procures, and makes generally available, research relevant to achieving a sustainable pattern of energy consumption and production in Scotland.

Our website showcases information on our activities and work, and we would be pleased to go into more detail personally, should you wish to contact us.

SSEF is particularly concerned to ensure that public policy promotes electricity generation and heat supply from a wide range of renewable sources especially those that provide power and heat on a predictable basis.
