The LSU Institute for Energy Innovation, established in June 2022 and supported by leading energy sector partners, serves as a hub for energy-focused collaboration and leadership. Through the Institute, leaders in energy-related thought, talent development, and industry are investing in a shared vision for the future of energy—one that is innovative, sustainable, and rooted in local impact.
The Institute drives transformative work across five core areas: talent development, research and development, policy and economics, local engagement, and technology transfer and commercialization. By uniting experts across science, engineering, public policy, business, and environmental disciplines, the Institute fosters an interdisciplinary approach essential for addressing today’s complex energy challenges.
Our mission is to cultivate solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also community-centered, ensuring that Louisiana and the broader Gulf Coast region lead the way in the energy transition. Through cutting-edge research, strategic partnerships, and local engagement initiatives, the LSU Institute for Energy Innovation is shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable energy landscape for generations to come.
