ORNL is a multiprogram science and technology national laboratory whose mission is to strengthen the nation’s leadership in key areas of basic and applied science; increase the availability of clean, abundant energy; restore and protect the environment; and contribute to national security. ORNL is home to the Spallation Neutron Center, the High Flux Isotope Reactor, the Center for Nanophase Materials Science, the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory and the Center for Computational Sciences.

Ohio State University

The vision for The Ohio State University is to advance the well-being of the people of Ohio and the global community through creation and dissemination of knowledge. Through SEMCAL, the Subsurface Energy Materials Characterization and Analysis Laboratory, OSU NCGC researchers are interrogating the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of subsurface sedimentary rocks reacted with CO2-bearing fluids.

Princeton University

Princeton University is a vibrant community of scholarship and learning that stands in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations. Chartered in 1746, Princeton is the fourth-oldest college in the United States. As a world-renowned research university, Princeton seeks to achieve the highest levels of distinction in the discovery and transmission of knowledge and understanding.

Purdue University

Purdue

With preeminent scientists and scholars in a environmental sciences, Purdue is a national and global leader in discovery and innovation. The work of Purdue’s researchers is supported by Discovery Park, a learning complex of eight centers on the West Lafayette campus that allows multidisciplinary groups to come together and respond to grand challenges and opportunities.

Stanford University

Stanford

Stanford’s broad network of world-class researchers working on energy-related problems spans more than 200 faculty members working in 22 academic departments and more than two dozen independent labs and programs, including the Global Climate and Energy Project, as well as the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center.
