In this five-year project, New Mexico Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NM EPSCoR) addresses one overarching question that has great potential to transform research in NM and to promote sustainable energy development: How can NM realize its energy development potential in a sustainable manner? The vision for the project is two-fold: first, to build and strengthen the scientific enterprise that will enable NM to harness its abundant renewable energy resources (e.g., solar energy and biofuels), and sustainably capitalize on other resources such as geothermal and uranium reserves, without adversely affecting the environment and water resources; and, second, to improve the state's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) pipeline and research and development capacity, thus creating new businesses and industry that build upon the state's human and geographic diversity and intellectual capital. The major participants in this proposal are the University of New Mexico, New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology, and New Mexico State University. Other partners include: Eastern New Mexico University Main Campus, Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe Institute, Explora!, the Global Center for Creative & Cultural Entrepreneurship, the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History Foundation.Intellectual MeritThis project aims to further NM's energy development, integrating basic and applied science and engineering. The research is enabling new technologies to be expanded to commercially viable enterprise scales. Resource utilization research focuses on: (1) generating new knowledge in algal ecology, physiology, agriculture and biomass process engineering that supports next generation biofuel production; (2) creating more efficient solar energy harvesting and photovoltaic devices, as well as developing methanol as a transportable fuel alternative to conventional fossil fuel-derived hydrocarbons; and (3) solving scientific and engineering challenges related to membrane properties and fouling that currently prevent osmotic pressure systems from becoming commercially viable. Results are enabling industry to make better use of NM's abundant sunshine, large brackish water aquifers, and vast quantities of high salinity produced waters from the oil and gas industry. Achieving a sustainable energy future for NM requires a complete and balanced suite of extractive and renewable energy sources that are socially adoptable, water-resource achievable, and environmentally benign.Broader ImpactsThe Energize NM project supports diverse, interdisciplinary, and inter-institutional partnerships that include national laboratories, industry, education (including community and tribal colleges), and other stakeholders. Additionally, the project activities holistically address clean energy challenges. Research results are communicated via user-friendly cyberinfrastructure, innovative education and workforce development programs, and broad-ranging stakeholder engagement activities. Project activities are designed to engage faculty from research universities, and tribal and community colleges, and support the STEM pipeline by training teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows. Project outcomes are communicated broadly through new partnerships with NM's museum network, a citizen-centric web portal, and experiential programs targeting K-12 students.

在这个五年的项目中，新墨西哥州的刺激竞争研究的实验计划（NM EPSCOR）解决了一个总体问题，该问题具有转变NM研究并促进可持续能源发展的巨大潜力：NM如何以可持续的方式实现其能源开发潜力？ 该项目的愿景是两个方面：首先，要建立和加强科学企业，使NM能够利用其丰富的可再生能源资源（例如，太阳能和生物燃料），并可持续利用其他资源，例如Geothmal和诸如诸如Geothmal和铀储量，而无需对环境和水资源产生不利影响；其次，为了改善州的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）管道以及研发能力，从而创造了新的业务和行业，以基于该州的人类和地理多样性以及知识分子资本。 该提案的主要参与者是新墨西哥大学，新墨西哥州矿业与技术研究院以及新墨西哥州立大学。 其他合作伙伴包括：新墨西哥州东部主校园，圣达菲社区学院，圣达菲研究所，explora！，全球创意与文化企业家中心，国家核科学与历史博物馆，新墨西哥州自然历史博物馆。旨在进一步的NM Enmitthis ProeriTthis Preemitthis ProeriTthis Preemitthis Preemitthis旨在进一步NM NM的能源开发，以进一步的基础和应用科学和应用程序和Enmernoring。 这项研究使新技术能够扩展到商业上可行的企业量表。 资源利用研究的重点是：（1）在藻类生态学，生理学，农业和生物质过程工程中产生新知识，以支持下一代生物燃料生产； （2）创建更有效的太阳能收集和光伏设备，以及开发甲醇作为常规化石燃料衍生的碳氢化合物的可运输燃料替代品； （3）解决与膜特性和结垢有关的科学和工程挑战，这些挑战目前可以防止渗透压系统变得在商业上可行。 结果使工业能够更好地利用NM的大量阳光，大咸水含水层以及大量的高盐度从石油和天然气行业产生的水。 为NM实现可持续的能源未来，需要一套完整，平衡的挖掘和可再生能源，这些能源在社会上可采用，可实现的水资源和环境良性。Broader对NM项目的影响支持多样化，跨学科，跨学科，互助伙伴关系，包括国家实验室，包括其他国家，包括社区，包括社区，包括社区，包括其他部落。 此外，项目活动可以整体解决清洁能源挑战。 通过用户友好的网络基础设施，创新的教育和劳动力发展计划以及广泛的利益相关者参与活动来传达研究结果。 项目活动旨在吸引研究大学，部落和社区学院的教师，并通过培训教师，本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员来支持STEM管道。 项目成果通过与NM的博物馆网络（以公民​​为中心的网络门户网站）以及针对K-12学生的体验计划进行广泛传达。
