Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Clean Energy Leadership Institute Fellowship

September 11, 2017

Scientific Engineering Associate Arian Aghajanzadeh, of the Building & Industrial Applications Department at Berkeley Lab, has been selected to participate in the highly competitive Clean Energy Leadership Institute's Fall 2017 Fellowship Training Program.

The Clean Energy Leadership Institute (CELI) is a leadership development organization based in Washington, D.C. and the San Francisco Bay Area. CELI provides early career professionals with the technical content, leadership development and professional community to build the next generation of clean energy leaders. CELI recruits Fellows with diverse backgrounds and equips them with a strong working knowledge of energy markets, project finance, technology innovation and public policy, realized through the Clean Energy Leaders Fellowship program.

As a CELI Fellow, Aghajanzadeh will be in a unique position to not only gain invaluable knowledge about the energy industry, but he will be able to network and forge new connections with diverse, effective, and innovative energy leaders of the future. There is a tremendous amount of activity happening in the energy field in the Bay Area, across the nation, and the world. Being part of the CELI community is one way to get exposure to those activities.

When asked what excites him about the fellowship Arian stated, “I want to be a point of connection, to spark collaboration between CELI fellows, the organizations that they represent, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.”
