Building on the work of the LSU Center for Energy Studies, established in 1982, the Institute brings together faculty and researchers from across LSU. It is organized into seven core areas: Energy Policy; Energy Research, Development & Demonstration; Energy Education & Outreach; Energy Information & Data; Energy Innovation; Energy Law; and the Louisiana Geological Survey.
The Energy Policy core area conducts research and analysis for legislators, regulators, and public agencies. Energy Research, Development & Demonstration coordinates research projects and technology demonstrations. Energy Education & Outreach provides courses and educational programs, including Energy Fundamentals. Energy Information & Data compiles datasets, develops analytical tools, and supports the state's energy data program. Energy Innovation supports research projects through competitive funding. Energy Law contributes legal analysis and education in collaboration with the LSU Law School. The Louisiana Geological Survey conducts geological mapping, research, and resource assessments and maintains geological data for Louisiana.
