Introduction
In 1982, the Institute for Energy Studies published the original Energy Research at Stanford University report to improve the flow of information about the range of energy research projects at Stanford. Today, the University continues to broaden its commitment to energy research as this important topic is being investigated by a growing number of departments and interdisciplinary programs. In 2003, following the lead of the Institute for Energy Studies, GCEP started a new online version of Energy Research at Stanford University.
Now in our third year of publication, the 2005-2006 report below features 47 abstracts from Stanford investigators. About half of the projects are sponsored by GCEP, while the others are sponsored by outside organizations. The abstracts have been categorized into areas of energy resources, systems, and uses. As many research efforts are interdisciplinary, a number of abstracts are listed in more than one category.
