Drawing on Rice University's interdisciplinary expertise in environmental engineering, energy sustainability, economics, political science, history, geology, nanoscience, and anthropology, the Baker Institute Energy Forum has published several major studies on energy policy since its inception in 1996. Topics have included the political, social, and cultural trends in the Persian Gulf, Caspian Basin and Russia, the future energy needs of China, Japan, and Latin America, energy security, energy industry deregulation, emerging energy technologies, and U.S. energy policy.
Energy Forum studies, policy reports and working papers are available online and are distributed in printed copy to the Energy Forum mailing list of industry and government leaders. Energy reports are widely quoted in major newspapers and periodicals in the U.S., such as the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Financial Times, and are read by top government and energy industry leaders worldwide.
Energy Forum specialists are invited to present new public policy ideas at international conferences and many other public forums sponsored by other universities and think tanks, the United Nations, and energy industry groups. Baker Institute scholars continue to publish working papers in a wide variety of academic and public policy journals.
