Energy & Transportation Science Division

Welcome

The mission of the Energy and Transportation Science Division is to develop and deploy knowledge and technology that enables the transformation of our energy systems in a manner that allows America to achieve energy independence, energy security, global economic leadership and environmental sustainability. The challenge to reduce the nation’s energy use and to transition to alternative energy sources while supporting continued prosperity and mitigating environmental consequences is particularly urgent due to the rapid growth in the economies, and concomitant increased demand for resources, from some of the worlds largest developing nations. The expertise of ETSD’s 150 employees is concentrated in the following four Technology Centers:

  1. The Building Technologies Research and Integration Center

  2. The Power Electronics and Electrical Power Systems Research Center

  3. The Fuels, Engines, and Emissions Research Center

  4. The Center for Transportation Analysis
