Energy
In everything we do, we bring the energy.

Cutting-Edge Technologies Safeguard Old and New Energy Sources
Merging multiple new technologies, Ä¢¹½tv petroleum engineer and professor Jyotsna Sharma is collaborating with industry to make Louisiana’s oil and gas production safer and more sustainable.

“We Can Use Carbon Dioxide From the Air Instead of Fossil Fuels�
Ä¢¹½tv chemical engineering student John “Calâ€� Hendershot develops solutions for Louisiana’s chemical companies, which are closely tied to oil and gas, to allow them to stay true to 2050 carbon neutrality commitments but remain operational and profitable along the way.

Our Next Renewable Energy Source Could Be an Artificial Leaf
Ä¢¹½tv researchers are exploring new ways to use the oldest energy source on our planet—sunlight—to create truly green energy on demand.

Expanding Protection of Port Fourchon, Louisiana’s Energy Industry Hub
Port Fourchon in Lafourche Parish serves 90% of the Gulf of Mexico’s deepwater oil and gas activities, housing at least 250 companies.

Power Students Gain Industry Experience and Expertise in the Ä¢¹½tv Classroom, Through Partnership With Entergy
Since 2019, Ä¢¹½tv professors have collaborated with Entergy on shaping the university curriculum, including hands-on labs, to make sure electrical engineering graduates are competitive in the increasingly complex power engineering field.

Tackling the Hidden Cost of Energy for Truly Affordable Housing
Ä¢¹½tv develops energy-efficient construction solutions to help lower housing costs.

Entergy Invests $1M in Renewable Energy Integration R&D Partnership with Ä¢¹½tv
Ä¢¹½tv and Entergy have developed a sustained research relationship over the past decade as the electric utility giant continues to tackle new challenges related to the integration of renewable energy into the existing power grid.

Ä¢¹½tv Innovation in Enhanced Oil Recovery Could Mean Billions for Louisiana
Getting more oil out of the ground: smarter, cheaper, and in a more efficient and environmentally sound way.

Transforming Carbon Dioxide Into an Industrial Resource
Ä¢¹½tv researchers are working on alternatives to petroleum and natural gas as sources of carbon to manufacture key chemicals—in Louisiana—for products we rely on every day, such as soap and shampoo, PVC pipes, phones, polyester fabrics, and medical devices.

The Magnificent Mangrove
Leveraging blue carbon and coastal, natural systems in Louisiana to help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and clean the air.

Designing the Best Possible Solar Cell, by Engineering a Bit of Quantum Supremacy
Ä¢¹½tv researchers are building a quantum simulator with a gold chip to study the transport of light and figure out how to manipulate it in just the right way to be able to harvest more photons faster.

Ä¢¹½tv Improves Fuel Cell Technology, Draws Interest from General Motors, Toyota
Fuel cell electric vehicles can be a powerful and equally green alternative to battery-driven electric vehicles—especially when those vehicles are large and have to go far, and the batteries required would get too big and heavy to be practical, such as in trucks and commercial airliners.

A Full-Scale Testing and Training Ground for the Petroleum Industry, on Ä¢¹½tv’s Campus
The only one of its kind in North America, the Ä¢¹½tv Petroleum Engineering Research & Technology Transfer (PERTT) lab is a 2.5-acre on-campus industrial-scale facility to simulate oil and gas drilling and production operations.

Securing Louisiana’s Energy Infrastructure
Building a protective cyber dome over Port Fourchon and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the nation’s only offshore deepwater port.
