Energy-focused institutions
Differentiating between energy institutions & climate change institutions
This page lists institutions with a direct, strong, and clear focus on energy sources per se. Note that there is no clear dividing line between Energy institutions (this page) and Climate change institutions, and a plethora of energy-relevant institutions will be found under the latter.
Institutions focused on particular forms of energy
While his page lists institutions that address the broad topic of energy; institutions focused on a particular form of energy (solar, wind, fossil fuels, etc.) can be found at their respective pages (see Energy hub).
