Welcome to...
Energy Sciences & Technology Department (EST)
EST is Brookhaven Laboratory's focal point for applied energy research,
development, demonstration and deployment (RDD&D) activities for renewable,
fossil and nuclear systems.
Our mission is to perform basic science,
analyses and technology development that provide innovative solutions to
some of the world's most important energy challenges. We draw on the
broad and deep expertise of our staff and resources, who work with other
experts at BNL and government laboratories, industry and academia to support
Department of Energy strategic goals.
- RESEARCH ON SOLAR ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The objectives
of the National Photovoltaics (PV) Environmental Research Center are to:
a) Identify potential environmental, health and safety (EHS) barriers for
photovoltaic materials, processes or applications and define strategies to
overcome such barriers; b) assist the industry, the DOE and its
contractors in maintaining safe and environmentally friendly facilities,
minimizing EHS risks and reducing EHS related costs, to ensure the public
support and economic viability of PV; c) maintain the center as the
world’s best source on PV-EHS, providing accurate information related to
EHS issues and perceptions.

- MARKAL – MACRO
An Energy and Economic Modeling and Analysis tool. The MARKAL-MACRO
model was developed by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to support
strategic energy planning. It has widespread international acceptance, with
over 40 countries using it in their environmental and energy planning, as
well as energy technology assessment. The model is continually upgraded and
extended. Consultancy, user workshops and training are available.

- Water – Energy Nexus
Initiative
Energy Sciences & Technology is a catalyst and key player in an evolving
national and regional initiative that is examining the complex and
interconnected technological and policy challenges associated with energy
and water supply and demand issues. More...
- Nuclear Renaissance
EST continues to actively evolve advanced, novel and nonproliferative
nuclear energy fuel and nuclear power plant designs for land and space based
applications.
Energy Sciences & Technology Department consists of four divisions
reflecting a breadth and depth of energy science, analyses and technology
development talent that focuses on meeting mission oriented needs of the
Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and a broad range of
other sponsors.
Reflecting recent changes in business context and world order, the
present organizational structure facilitates operations and responsiveness
to our customers, integrates and aligns our capabilities with our
Directorate as
well as with the whole of and the Laboratory.
