About the Institute for Clean and Secure Energy 

The University of Utah?s Institute for Clean and Secure Energy's mission is to pursue interdisciplinary, cradle-to-grave research and development of energy for electric power generation and for liquid transportation fuels from the abundant domestic resources of coal, oil sands, and oil shale. The Institute emphasizes minimizing the environmental impacts associated with the development of these resources, including reducing the carbon footprint through the use of CO2 capture for subsequent storage. The program consists of chemists, engineers, and computer scientists along with attorneys and economists who study environmental law. They hope to help produce energy that is safe for the environment by expanding understandings of energy development through experimentation, analysis, and simulations.
