Research at the Energy Institute

The expertise of over 350 energy-related faculty and researchers and over 30 energy centers and programs at UT facilitates an integrated, systems-oriented approach to meeting the energy challenges of today and the future. This diverse research footprint, which we call Energy@UT, is pioneering novel ways to enable energy sustainability – from state-of-the art technology for mitigating methane emissions to next generation anode materials for battery storage to radically smarter management of water resources in energy production.
