 Vision & ApproachCIEEP and The University of Texas at Austin will become the academic leader in integrated, science- and engineering-based research and education in energy and environmental policy. CIEEP will provide interdisciplinary assessments of current and emerging global energy and environmental issues and develop energy and environmental policy options for dealing with them at global, national, and local scales. Given the continuing prominence of oil and natural gas in the energy future of the world, CIEEP will feature work in this area. However, in light of the growth in demand for energy and the expansion of technical capabilities to provide clean and affordable supplies from coal, uranium, geothermal, oil shale, and tar sands, and from renewable sources, CIEEP will build strength in these areas. In addition, CIEEP will engage related environmental issues and resources with an initial focus on water policy based on its critical importance to broad areas of energy development and its value as a resource. |
