The Global Energy Challenge

Global energy demand is projected to double by mid-century. At the same time, scientific evidence indicates that we must reduce human-generated global greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change. To handle just the projected increase in energy demand by 2050 will require the equivalent of a new energy economy equal to the size of the one that exists today. The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), an interdisciplinary joint research effort between the University of Colorado at Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is advancing solutions for producing energy economically from low carbon sources, decreasing reliance on foreign oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and using energy more efficiently to meet the global energy challenge. RASEI's efforts focus on interdisciplinary energy research, training the next generation of energy professionals, and the development of market-ready leading-edge technologies.
