The Benson Lab, established in 2007, conducts research to advance a low carbon energy future through innovation in carbon storage, energy system modeling, and campus-scale building optimization. With nearly two decades of experience, our work combines laboratory experiments, systems analysis, and real-world field studies to address energy challenges across a wide range of systems and contexts, including the pore space of rocks, the electricity grid, and campus energy infrastructure.
