UNEPCollaborating Centre on Energy and Environment The UNEP Centre is located at Risø National Laboratory near the town of Roskilde in Denmark. The Centre supports the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in pursuing its aim of incorporating environmental aspects into energy planning and policy worldwide, with special emphasis on developing countries. The Centre is financed jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) and Risø. The Centre is staffed by an international team of economists, scientists and engineers, and has strong collaborative links with a wide range of institutions and researchers throughout the world.
University of California Energy Institute The mission of the University of California Energy Institute is to foster research and educate students and policy makers on energy issues which are crucial to the future of California, the nation, and the World. The Energy Institute is the only research unit in the U.C. system that focuses broadly on energy. The importance of this research derives from the fact that energy systems provide enormous benefits and pose huge liabilities. Energy use is both essential to economic prosperity and an important cause of environmental problems. The objectives of UCENERGY's research are to solve important energy problems, enrich the faculty through the intellectual challenges inherent in these problems, and increase their research funding opportunities. Energy Institute research covers the general areas of resources and supply technologies, energy use efficiency, and the impacts of energy use on health, the environment, and the economy.

Zero-Impact Energy - Mitigating Emissions from the Hermiston Generating Project In early 1994, US Generating Corporation (a joint venture of Pacific Gas & Electric and Bechtel Corporation) announced their intent to build the first major electric generating plant in Oregon in over a decade. The 475 MW gas fired combustion turbine is the first of a new wave of power plants in the Pacific Northwest. It signals a historic transition of the regional power grid, from one that is largely based on renewable hydropower to one based largely on fossil fuels. It also signals disaster for Oregons goal of capping global warming emissions at 1990 levels. As part of the siting process, US Generating agreed to a study of ways to mitigate the impact of emissions from the Hermiston Project. The work was performed by Convergence Research and Microdesign Northwest. Although the study focusses on impacts and mitigation strategies for Oregon, the information and methodologies are applicable anywhere.
