Events

A weekly journal club to facilitate discussion and understanding of the technical details of energy technology and energy economics. Each session, members will discuss subjects relevant to the science, technology, or economics of energy. HEJC's primary purpose is not to discuss policy issues, but rather it is to enable its members to develop the necessary technical background to better understand energy issues and policy. We cover a broad range of topics including:

1. Depletable resources: Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear, etc.

2. Renewable resources: Solar, Hydro, Wind, Biomass/Biofuels, Wave, Tidal, Geothermal, etc.

3. Applications: Clean Coal, CO2 Capture, Synthetic Fuels, Gasification, Fuel cells, Photovoltaic Cells, the Electric Grid, Energy Storage, etc.

Discussions are held every Friday from 1:00 to 2:00 PM in the Harvard University Center for the Environment Seminar Room and are open to all members of the Harvard and surrounding community.

Pizza lunch is provided. The HEJC is open to members of the Harvard and MIT communities. A technical background is not needed.
