Initiative for Sustainable Energy
About
The Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE) was launched in February 2023 at Brown University with the aim to expand and raise the visibility of existing energy science, engineering research, catalyze new collaborations across the campus to pursue expanded resources for research that addresses unmet technology needs; and build partnerships for education and practice in future energy systems both inside and outside Brown.

Vision
The ISE drives breakthrough technological innovations and prepares leaders for a secure, equitable, and sustainable zero-carbon energy future. Focusing on renewable energy, sustainable fuels / materials, and energy efficiency, our work is informed by, and is attentive to, the needs of industry, consumers, and the natural environment, as well as the communities that deal directly with the inequities embedded in the existing fossil-energy system. The ISE is a hub that drives regional zero-carbon energy innovation and action, with regional, national and global impact.
Mission
Activate research and educate future leaders in sustainable zero-carbon energy solutions that translate into practice at scale.
