Open technology can support how we study, generate, distribute, and manage energy. Select a topic to explore the context and related reading.
Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass are renewable energy sources. We explore how shared tools and knowledge can help people study these resources and their integration into energy systems.
Our publication collection includes research on small modular reactors, the nuclear fuel supply chain, and the role of nuclear generation in broader energy systems.
Nuclear fission and fusion are distinct processes. Uranium fuel is classified as nonrenewable; fusion remains a research and development field. These topics are presented separately from renewable resources.
Coal, oil, and natural gas are finite resources. Our open-energy perspective includes existing energy infrastructure, efficiency, and the transition toward more sustainable systems.
Our related publications examine carbon capture, industrial applications, and the relationships between different sources of energy.
Energy sources operate within larger systems of infrastructure, knowledge, and decision-making. Open collaboration creates room to study those relationships together.
Our systems papers explore generation and storage, cross-border cooperation, and distributed grids. The energy lab provides a small, clearly labeled educational model.
