ERCE primarily involved researchers from the Departments of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, with some participation also from Materials Engineering and Electrical and Computing Engineering. However, ERCE involvement wish to have expanded to include a boarder range of members representing all departments within Applied Science and other faculty departments active in Environment and clean energy research.

ERCE provides state-of-the-art research facilities in a recently-completed building for the investigation of clean energy problems and the development of environmentally-friendly solutions. Many of these facilities are unique. At the same time, ERCE promotes excellent research by means of collaborative research projects, seminars, shared equipment, courses and other means.
