New Energy Alternatives

The future must combine the use of traditional and alternative sources of energy.

The University of Maryland Energy Research Center brings together a wide array of researchers from multiple disciplines to:

• Explore and develop new technologies crucial to the effective use of alternative energy sources and improved use of traditional sources; 
• Evaluate these and other energy options in terms of national policy and economics;
• Educate the next generation of energy engineers, scientists, policy makers and business people; and
• Engage academic, corporate, government and general audiences in considering energy questions and solutions.

We welcome the participation of all who share our commitment to improving our energy future.
