SHAPING OUR GLOBAL ENERGY FUTURE

Mines researchers are working on the latest technology to help diversify the world’s energy portfolio and offer the best solutions to today’s energy challenges.

Today’s energy demand is a global challenge. The world’s energy portfolio is becoming more complex and diverse, looking vastly different than it did a century ago. And those with the expertise in energy resources and technology are being called upon to determine the best ways forward and develop what comes next for our energy future—and Mines is leading that effort.

At Mines, we recognize that a one-size-fits-all answer to the energy challenge does not exist. We work closely with industry, government agencies, international organizations and communities to understand and address all sides of this issue. Our researchers are actively pursuing the latest energy pathways, whether that’s finding sustainable ways to source geothermal energy, efficiently build hydrogen fuel cells or develop other advanced energy systems. We’re even investigating the impacts on critical materials supply chains and how the energy transition affects global systems and economies.

Here, you will find only a few examples of the work Mines is leading in this effort and the part we play in nearly every aspect of the energy transition. We are an ideal partner made up of dedicated collaborators and enthusiastic problem-solvers that will help the world successfully meet the energy demands of today and tomorrow.

When the world looks for energy solutions, Mines has the answers.

Global Energy Future Initiative

This Mines-led initiative connects energy innovators, industry leaders and policy makers to advance scientific and datadriven solutions for the energy transition. We are providing innovation and thought leadership in areas such as:

• Oil and gas

• Decarbonization and renewable energy

• Minerals and metals

• Clean water innovation

• Carbon capture, utilization and storage

• Supply chain transparency
