Center for Energy
The IGWS Center for Energy supports long-term studies of the state's energy resources. We study and evaluate conventional and unconventional sources of oil, gas, and coal; investigate renewable and low-carbon energy technologies and models of carbon capture and storage; and characterize energy byproducts.
