The Need

Our quality of life, standard of living and national security depend on energy.  A strong, balanced energy research program, based on the most efficient use of our natural resources while minimizing our dependence on imported energy, is critical to Maryland and the U.S.

Addressing the Need

The University of Maryland Energy Research Center brings together the research capabilities necessary to create a sustainable energy future, with faculty expertise in both energy technology and policy.
