All of the above energy

All-of-the-Above Energy

Today’s energy and environmental needs require a total-systems approach that focuses on technical details while retaining a broad perspective. Utilizing over 70 years of energy research, we are a driving force for innovation and new opportunities in the energy industry.

 

These core priorities are the cornerstone for the development of innovative, practical, and cost-effective energy and environmental solutions: Coal Utilization & Emissions, Carbon Management, Oil & Gas, Alternative Fuels & Renewables, and Energy–Water.
