Renewable Energy Technologies and Carbon Cycling

Thursday, November 4, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Alumni Lounge, Marshall Hall, ESF Campus

Many researchers and scientists have projected that we will double our carbon emissions worldwide by 2050. The negative effects this will have on our environment have raised significant concerns in the public and private sector in response to carbon emissions and climate change, coupled with fossil fuels and renewable energy technologies such as wind and biomass.

This program is being reviewed for professional certification hours for engineers (PDHs), architects (CEUs), and landscape architects (LUs).
