Initiative on Renewable Energy and the Environment
The Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment, part of the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment, is helping to lead the transition to a more sustainable energy future. Since 2003, IREE has supported nearly 400 researchers focused on bioenergy, biofuels and bioproducts; solar and wind power; energy conservation; renewable hydrogen; and policy, economics and ecosystems. This research has resulted in publication in international science journals,
technology patents and disclosures, solid partnerships with external stakeholders, and the education of the next generation of renewable energy experts. In 2007, the legislature established more permanent funding for IREE, which will facilitate an even broader range of renewable energy research and demonstration.
