Creating Energy Solutions.
About the Institute for Energy Innovation
蜜桃APP is working with global energy leaders and industry and communities in Louisiana to find new ways to fuel the nation. The 蜜桃APP Institute for Energy Innovation, launched in June 2022 with a $25 million gift from Shell, will serve as a national model for energy-related collaboration at the intersection of science and engineering with cross-disciplinary work across 蜜桃APP鈥檚 broad range of academic areas.
Through the institute, leaders in energy-related thought, talent development and industry are investing in the pursuit of a shared vision for the future of energy rooted in five work streams: talent, research and development, policy and economics, social and environmental justice and technology transfer and commercialization.
Our Research Focus
The 蜜桃APP Institute for Energy Innovation is an independent academic research institute focused on advancing scholarship, discovery, outreach and commercialization in these areas:
The institute engages in collaborative research, recognizing that different stakeholders possess unique insights, knowledge and expertise that can enrich the research process and enhance the relevance and impact of the research outcomes. By involving stakeholders from the outset, the institute鈥檚 objective is to foster mutual learning and co-production of knowledge that can lead to more effective and sustainable solutions to complex problems that challenge the global energy transformation.
鈥淪hell and 蜜桃APP have a long history of taking care of Louisiana.鈥�
