UK Center for Applied Energy Research

For nearly 50 years, the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) has been Kentucky’s home to energy innovation, materials science discoveries, and incubation of technologies that has helped Kentucky’s energy economy to thrive. 

In all of our work, Kentucky comes first

CAER’s successes are tied to its abiding mission, “to execute a research program designed to develop new and more effective and environmentally acceptable use for coal and to improve existing uses for Kentucky’s natural resources.”
