Collaborative Research Opportunities
Interdisciplinary, multi-university and cross-sector partnerships are vital to developing energy solutions that benefit everyone. Together, we expand our capacity to solve critical challenges and redefine what it means to change the world.
Collaboration Highlights
HyVelocity Hydrogen Hub
UT is the lead academic institution and a founding member of the HyVelocity Hydrogen Hub. Awarded $1.2 billion in funding from the Department of Energy, this consortium brings together more than 100 industry and community partners to accelerate growth of the hydrogen economy in the Gulf Coast region.
Cutting Edge Methane Hydrate Mission
Methane hydrate is a mysterious, carbon-rich substance with the potential to shape the energy and landscape. But getting samples isn't easy. A UT-led mission funded by a $100-million Department of Energy grant brought together universities and federal research institutions to retrieve pressurized cores of the substance from deep beneath the seafloor of the Gulf.
Permian Energy Development Lab (PEDL)
A coalition of universities and colleges, two national research laboratories, philanthropic and community-based organizations whose mission is to advance energy development while benefitting and creating opportunities for energy communities. PEDL fosters collaboration among business, government and academic leaders, while leveraging the Permian’s expertise and vast energy and geologic resources to bolster the region as a global energy leader now and into the future.
