The Hellenic Centre for Energy Research (ELKENE)
Introduction
The Hellenic Centre for Energy Research (ELKENE) was founded in 2023 by inventor and researcher Charalambos Psomiadis. Driven by his vision to establish a research and educational institution that fosters inventiveness and innovation, ELKENE supports young inventors and creators, cultivating and developing a Greek culture of innovation and ingenuity. ELKENE works closely with the Cinova Group, leveraging their expertise and resources to further its research and development goals.
Activities
ELKENE began its activities as a research centre focused on the research and development of energy systems and the execution of laboratory measurements and certifications of energy systems, building structures, and materials.
In the future, ELKENE will operate technical training departments in the field of renewable energy sources (RES) and new technologies in the fields of construction and electromechanical installations. This aims to create a highly skilled technical workforce that will contribute to the transformation and energy upgrade of Greece, while simultaneously creating upgraded jobs in the technical sector.
Mission
ELKENE’s mission is to promote technological development in the field of energy and RES and to strengthen Greece’s competitiveness in the international arena.
Research Areas
The Centre is engaged in research in various fields, such as solar and wind energy, the thermal efficiency of engines, systems and building structures, and the development of methods and technologies that promote energy saving and innovation. ELKENE places a strong emphasis on research and innovation, continuously exploring new avenues for advancement in energy technology.
Services
ELKENE offers a range of specialised services aimed at both the public and private sectors to improve energy footprint and contribute to the technological and economic development of Greece.
