Sustainable Energy Systems
The mission of this pillar is to create strategies for integrating sustainable energy and transportation systems, toward a decarbonized, resilient, and equitable system. The future of transportation will largely depend on various alternative energy sources, ranging from clean electricity to clean fuels. Such sources will need to be connected to the electricity infrastructure for supply, leading to a stronger integration between two major infrastructure systems: energy and transportation. Consumers will play an active role in this transformation, responding in different ways to incentives, refueling options, and information availability. Our focus is on developing innovative, data-driven solutions to efficiently plan and operate transportation and electricity infrastructures at scale, while accounting for consumer preferences.
