To enable the transition to advanced sustainable energy generation, storage, distribution and utilization, through coordinated research, development and education.
The Case School of Engineering traces its work in energy advancement to the 1930s, when it became an acclaimed leader in electrochemistry research for fuel cells.
Since then, the school has broadened its interests to develop strengths in many other essential energy-related disciplines: advanced materials; wind energy, power informatics and control; energy conversion and storage; and solar.
Building on this history and expertise in collaborative research, Case formed the Great Lakes Energy Institute as a resource for academia, industry, government and educators. Created with a $3.6 million grant from The Cleveland Foundation, the Institute is a multi-disciplinary center that is led by researchers at the Case School of Engineering and utilizes the rich resources and expertise of all of the graduate and professional schools at Case Western Reserve University.
