Global Goals…Local Action
While the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals offer a valuable framework to guide progress at the global and national levels, effective implementation often requires action at the local level. Texas A&M University has led a year-long initiative dedicated to localizing sustainability goals within the San Antonio context. This collaborative effort involved a series of workshops wherein cross-sectoral stakeholders were actively engaged in sharing their definition of sustainability and the metrics they would like to use to measure progress within their community.
United in Safety: The MKOPSC-TAMEI Alliance
Since 2016, the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center (MKOPSC) and the Texas A&M Energy Institute (TAMEI) have joined forces to offers cutting-edge Safety in Energy Systems educational courses as part of the Master of Science in Energy program. The partnership was solidified with a formal agreement in 2022, enhancing joint efforts in research, education, and outreach.
Rocking Energy Storage: Investigating rock alterations from subsurface hydrogen storage
Dr. Esuru Rita Okoroafor, led a study funded by the Texas A&M Energy Institute to assess the impact of hydrogen storage on different types of rocks. This seed funding resulted in a US Department of Energy project to determine the behavior of a large-scale geologic hydrogen reservoir.
A&M Institutes Champion Energy Digitization
In an era where energy and digital technologies are merging, Texas A&M University plays a pivotal role in this convergence through a 2021 formal strategic agreement between the Texas A&M Institute of Data Science and the Texas A&M Energy Institute.
