Using innovation to preserve the environment and protect our resources.
Noblis’ Energy and Environmental Sustainability mission area is dedicated to designing innovative solutions that better protect the environment and preserve vital resources by leveraging the ingenuity of our professional staff and breaking new ground in resolving long-term problems. To tackle complex challenges, we draw upon the best minds in the industry—Noblis energy and environmental professionals who are proven problem-solvers and recognized thought leaders in their fields.
When Noblis designs systemic solutions that address long-term issues for our clients, the immediate problems get resolved and become an opportunity for strategic adaptation through a process we call collaborative thought leadership.
Noblis scientists have expertise across a range of fields including toxicology, chemistry, environmental engineering, hydrogeology, and energy resource analysis. They also have specializations in rapidly growing fields such as molecular biology, proteomics, bioinformatics, virology, and microbiology. These qualifications mean Noblis is poised to address emerging challenges related to water resource management, environmental risk assessment, meeting new energy demands, and the potential to generate energy from bacteria and other microorganisms.
With Noblis’ unique status as a nonprofit without conflicts of interest, our professional staff is uniquely qualified to offer neutral advice. This can involve providing objective oversight of environmental engineering and cleanup projects, evaluating outside proposals or grant submissions, or providing input to key federal environmental, health, energy, or military departments.
Noblis experts publish broadly in the scientific literature, have been recognized as outstanding teachers, and organize key panels and presentations each year at domestic and international conferences and societies. In addition, they have been recognized for award-winning scientific publications critical to public and private decision-making.
Noblis experts serve on advisory panels convened by the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the Food and Drug Administration.
