Our Work

The N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center, at N.C. State University, advances a sustainable energy economy by educating, demonstrating, and providing support for clean energy technologies, practices, and policies. It also administers the Database of Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE), a resource providing financial incentives and policies.

Clean Transportation

The mission of the Clean Transportation Program is to increase the use of alternative fuels and advanced transportation technologies. Working with the government, non-profits, and businesses, the Clean Transportation team is helping diversify fuel supplies and support cleaner, more vibrant local and state economies. Our goal – cleaner air and greater energy security.
