Center for Advanced Energy Studies

The CAES mission is to address critical science and engineering issues that will help resolve the grand challenges associated with providing an appropriate mix of energy technologies needed to address critical U.S. and global energy needs. Although CAES will have an emphasis on nuclear energy, it will also address other energy areas that are critical to ensuring U.S. energy security, including affordability, limited environmental impacts, and leadership in the global energy arena. Energy technologies to be addressed include those for nuclear, hydrogen, and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and the full spectrum of renewable energy sources. CAES is part of the Idaho National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy.
