Details of the 2010 Sustainable Energy Fellowship are still being finalized. The one-week program for this coming summer will involve three major components:

1. Current energy use and its impacts and an overview of sustainable energy options: Presentations provided and discussions led by faculty from the four participating universities.

2. In depth reviews of more sustainable approaches: Faculty and research staff led presentations and open discussions of specific energy technologies and current research projects as well as tours to illustrate sustainable energy deployment on campus and in surrounding region will be given throughout the week. Biomass, wind, geothermal, and solar, fossil use with carbon capture and sequestration and energy storage will be discussed in some detail over the course of the 1-week program.

3. Student team projects: Selected topics covering a range of critical challenges and opportunities for a sustainable energy future of the U.S. will be assigned to student teams. Student-led presentations will be given at the end of the program to highlight findings and make recommendations.
