sustainable resources and technology.

sources like oil and natural gas, along

resources are viable ways towards a
sustainable and secure energy future for
Brunei Darussalam. The Government has
identified these issues and taken
several initiatives for energy
conservation and renewable energy
utilization in recent years.
The UBD is committed to support these
initiatives for sustainable development
through research and innovations, human
resource development and professional
services.
