Board on Energy and Environmental Systems
The Board on Energy and Environmental Systems (BEES) provides independent advice on science and technology policy related to energy and the environment. BEES organizes studies, workshops, symposia, and expert meetings on topics such as advanced vehicle technologies, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the resilience of the electric grid. Our studies guide regulatory activities and government research programs and our events bring together experts from academia, government, industry, and non-governmental organizations to discuss key issues in energy policy. We also seek to inform and educate the public about the latest energy technologies and policies.
