The Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research is a collaboration between the university and the Nebraska Public Power District. The center was established in 2006 to support energy research that produces new technologies, processes and systems that provide new or significantly enhanced renewable energy sources, improves the quality of life and boosts economic opportunity. The center fosters interdisciplinary collaboration among Nebraska faculty and with other research institutions, public-sector agencies and private-sector companies with similar interests. The center supports both basic and applied research and has a broad mandate to explore a range of renewable energy opportunities, including biofuels and wind/solar energy, as well as opportunities for energy conservation.
