New Data Lab to Tackle Oil & Gas Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting
The University of Texas at Austin will be home to a new multidisciplinary research and education initiative based in its Cockrell School of Engineering – the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab (EEMDL) – that will address the growing need for accurate, timely, and clear accounting of greenhouse gas emissions across global oil and natural gas supply chains.
Energy Titans Collaborate With UT To Solve Most Pressing Global Energy Challenges
The Energy Institute at The University of Texas at Austin and four of the globe’s largest energy companies have launched a new membership program to advance science and create opportunities for energy community members and students.
Texas ChE-led Research Center Aims to Find Better Ways to Clean Water
With rising demand and dwindling supply, water is perhaps the earth’s most critical natural resource. Contaminated water from energy-related activities is both an enormous burden and an exciting untapped opportunity.
Plastic-eating Enzyme Could Eliminate Billions of Tons of Landfill Waste
An enzyme variant created by engineers and scientists at The University of Texas at Austin can break down environment-throttling plastics that typically take centuries to degrade in just a matter of hours to days.
