Reducing our country's energy dependence and mitigating potential impacts on climate change have been called this generation's "moonshot" effort. USTAR teams are working to help our economy transition from one that is heavily dependent on fossil fuel to one that has a balanced energy portfolio. These research efforts in energy alternatives have long-term global implications.

USTAR's Southern Utah Technology Outreach and Innovation Program team has put together an assessment of Utah's renewable energy resources. See the presentation.

USTAR in collaboration with the U of U and USU has recruited top researchers to work in the Energy field in the following categories:

Fossil Energy - Carbon Engineering

Biofuels

Intuitive Buildings

Alternative Energy

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.
