The Sustainable Energy Science & Engineering Center (SESEC) is set up to address the most challenging energy issues related to the use of alternative energy through the development of innovative solutions for consumers and industry. In particular, the need for energy systems that have much lower emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse materials to the atmosphere is of paramount importance. This center is developing a portfolio of pre-commercial research programs to explore reliable, affordable, safe and clean energy technologies of the future. A key objective of SESEC is to encourage future commercial application of the technologies that flow from the research applying its expertise in technology transfer to make sure that society at large benefits from its research.
