Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC)
The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) is a research, development, demonstration, and commercialization facility recognized as one of the world’s leading developers of cleaner, more efficient energy technologies as well as environmental technologies to protect and clean our air, water, and soil. The EERC is a high-tech, nonprofit branch of the University of North Dakota, which operates like a business. The EERC currently employs more than 300 people and is aggressively expanding its staff. The Center was founded in 1951 as the Robertson Lignite Research Laboratory, a federal facility under the U.S. Bureau of Mines. It became a federal energy technology center under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 1977 and was defederalized in 1983. Today, the EERC leverages and enhances research dollars by developing working partnerships with industry, government, and the research community. Since 1983, the EERC has had nearly 1000 clients in all 50 states and 49 countries. In FY2007, 93% of its contracts were funded by nonfederal entities.
