The Clean Energy and Sustainability Analytics Center supports faculty and student research at Montclair State University to explore the complexities of clean energy policies, technology, practices and economics. The Center facilitates faculty and student research in the area of clean energy, such as:

  • motivational drivers for clean transportation
  • waste to energy solutions
  • life cycle analyses of energy and environmental processes
  • green jobs options through investments in offshore wind
  • energy efficiency
  • solar energy
  • alternative fuel vehicles
  • energy water nexus
  • costs and benefits of clean transportation
  • energy and greenhouse gas benefits and growing the New Jersey’s clean energy industry, market, deployment, and energy resilience opportunities
  • workforce development, and training programs on clean energy.
