The Rice Energy Program (REP) is a multi-disciplinary program that includes activities addressing energy science and technology policy and research on emerging energy technologies, environmental implications of energy production and use, and sustainable strategies for fulfilling the world's energy needs. Building on the highly successful Baker Institute Energy Forum, created by the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, the Rice Energy Program is supported by both the Baker Institute and the Environmental and Energy Systems Institute (EESI).
The Rice Energy Program promotes collaborative, multi-disciplinary research to address global energy issues. The program currently supports projects in cross-campus departments and centers in the areas of fossil fuels, biofuels and chemicals, nanotechnology and energy, carbon capture and sequestration, solar and wind power and energy policy.
