About the Eastern Utah Outreach Center

USTAR’s Eastern Utah Technology Outreach team is working with research, industry and entrepreneurial leaders in the energy sector to establish Utah as a center for the development and deployment of new energy technology to assist the efficient and environmentally responsible production of critical energy resources in Utah and elsewhere.

Directed by Alan J. Walker, Eastern Utah’s Technology Outreach Team, in conjunction with several of Utah’s leading energy research institutes, is currently engaged in several projects and initiatives to advance environmentally responsible energy production, energy resource security, and geoscience technology. Eastern Utah Tech Outreach Director, Alan J. Walker, summarized the importance of these efforts, saying “energy is key to quality of life; finding better and more responsible ways to develop Utah’s immense energy resources will provide lasting value to Utah and our nation.”

Utah's Energy R&D Assets - A working document
In response to a request from the Brookings Institution (www.brookings.edu), a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC, USTAR prepared an overview of Utah’s energy research and development assets (June 2010). Brookings will use the information to prepare a report to Congress of national assets. Our compilation is a working document, and we’d appreciate any feedback from the Utah energy community. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please email ustarinfo@utah.gov.
