Policy Program
Policy is the common denominator of all of CE3’s projects. Whether the project is meant to analyze policies for a client or examine the potential implications of a policy on a prospective project, everything we do relates to the impacts of energy and environmental policies and regulations on Ohio. CE3 faculty, staff and students are well-versed in the policies that affect their subject areas of air, data, energy, land and water and how these topics overlap at every turn. Our extensive network of professional connections throughout the region enhances the work products we deliver to our diverse set of clients and stakeholders.

Example Projects
All ProjectsU.S. EPA GHG Reporting Program Outreach

Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant Future Vision Project
A team of university faculty and staff led by the Voinovich School received a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to conduct a public outreach project in support of the cleanup activities occurring at the site of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant near Piketon, Ohio. This Cold-War era plant, which produced weapons-grade uranium for the military and, later, for the nuclear power industry, was closed in 2006 and is slated to be demolished. The Voinovich School is working with community partners from around the region to generate scenarios for future uses for the facility and conduct specific research projects related to the energy and environmental future of the site. The project website is: www.portsfuture.com.
Energy Policy for Ohio Manufacturers
The CE3 team is working with The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association to help them develop a roadmap for energy policies and practices beneficial to Ohio’s manufacturing sector. Based upon the feedback received during member interviews and in combination with research conducted by CE3, OMA is leading the charge in Ohio to make energy a top issue for industry.
