Energy is a grand challenge problem facing society today. Petroleum and
natural gas supplies have peaked, or will in the near future, and environmental,
political, and cost issues challenge their use.
Over the next few decades, we must efficiently use the world’s available
petroleum and natural gas resources and invent clean coal technologies for
use over the next few centuries. At the same time, we must prepare to transition
from fossil fuels to a mix of solar, wind, bio (renewable), and nuclear
energy sources.
Purdue's Energy Center at Discovery Park is a multidisciplinary academic
community of over 75 researchers, scientists, engineers, political scientists,
and economists. Our goal is to make significant contributions to the energy
solutions needed by our State, Nation, and the World. Please take a few
minutes to visit our key initiatives web pages and consider joining our
center or attending one of our upcoming events.
