Our Mission
The Texas A&M Energy Institute pursues and supports new approaches for multi-disciplinary energy research, education, and external partnerships. These approaches cross departmental and college boundaries and address all facets of the energy landscape that naturally connect engineering, sciences, technologies, economics, law, and policy decisions.
New Book: Energy Innovators
The Texas A&M Energy Institute is proud to announce its new book, Energy Innovators: The People, Passion, and Purpose of the Texas A&M Energy Institute, written by Tim Gregg.
This book chronicles the founding and the first 15 years of the Texas A&M Energy Institute, firmly rooted in the history of energy in Texas and in the institutional evolution of a major Texas university. Through twenty-seven chapters, Tim Gregg profiles individual energy researchers, engineers, institute founders, and leaders—their career paths, contributions, and personal stories—making it a collective biography of science and technology figures central to the Energy Institute’s mission.
The book is now available for purchase. Order your copy today.
