Energy


Energy research is organized around four interlocking sub-themes that will advance the energy systems of the future.

  • Capture and conversion focuses on subsurface engineering, novel catalysts and scalable processes to transform traditional an emerging feedstocks into the fuels and chemicals that we need for everyday life.
  • Energy storage and resiliency spans next-generation batteries, fuel cells and flow batteries, coupled with tools and infrastructure practices that help communities maintain critical services and recover faster after disruptions.
  • Energy efficiency accelerates cleaner and more efficient production and smarter demand including integrating energy with water, food, climate and health to translate efficiency gains from labs to real-world systems.
  • Energy security marries energy and cyber expertise to strengthen the protection of infrastructure that modern energy systems depend on.
