Welcome to the EMS Energy Institute
The EMS Energy Institute at Penn State is a leading research and development organization focused on energy science and engineering. The Institute is located within the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. From solving challenges related to fossil fuels to exploring new technologies for alternative energy, we are involved in almost every aspect of energy research. We are committed to diversifying the nation’s energy sources, improving the efficiency by which we generate and use that energy, and expanding the use of our indigenous resources while relying less on non-domestic sources of energy. The Institute has developed a mission that includes four main objectives to realize our vision to be the leading research hub for energy science and technology development:
- Produce advanced energy research
- Enable the development of novel energy technologies
- Engage graduate and undergraduate students in energy research
- Promote energy-related outreach by providing technical support to industries in the U.S. and abroad
