Renewable Energy
Throughout the modern age, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have powered homes and businesses. But the world is increasingly seeking to add renewable sources of power into the generating mix. These renewable resources have traditionally included hydropower, terrestrial wind, and solar photovoltaic, and we envision newer resources—such as marine energy, wind energy, and geothermal—enabling a sustainable energy future for our nation.
But there are challenges to overcome. Integrating renewables into the grid is a complex issue, and we also need to understand and mitigate potential environmental impacts. With newer technologies, such as marine energy, there is a great deal of research and development to be done to make the most of these resources.
We tap our strong base of atmospheric sciences, grid operations and controls, and our engineering and analytical capabilities to help overcome these challenges. Our research encompasses a wide range of renewables, drawing on resources below ground, on the surface, and in the sky. Our partnerships with other national laboratories, industry, and universities are bringing renewable energy closer to an everyday reality.
We’re driving for an energy future that accommodates new sources. These sources introduce real cost savings and improved performance, as well as new jobs.
