About
At the Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy, we are developing solutions for a sustainable world through research, innovation, and education. We envision a planet where life flourishes from the forests to the cities, where renewable energy sources provide ample power for our lives both night and day, and where a circular economy profitably repurposes materials, keeping them out of landfills and the environment. In this vision of a decarbonized planet, climate change is mitigated through a mix of complimentary tools, while sustainable energy sources, systems, and fuels drive us forward.
