Clean energy for all will not happen on its own. It will happen, in no small part, due to the efforts of researchers who think critically about the social impacts of their work from the very beginning.
That type of critical thinking is what helped National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers Nikita Dutta, Elizabeth Gill, Bettina K. Arkhurst, Mary Hallisey, and Kate Anderson develop a new tool for incorporating equity into renewable energy research. This tool, the Justice Underpinning Science and Technology Research (JUST-R) metrics framework, aims to help researchers think more about the social impacts of technologies from the earliest stages of research and development.
