Harvard Energy Journal Club

https://hejc.environment.harvard.edu/ [1]

A student-led club that meets weekly to deepen members' understanding of the technical details of energy technology and science. "Dept. of Energy Strucutre and Oil & Gas Lobby" with Jack Hensley, SEAS. Pizza lunch is provided. 

The topics discussed serve as fantastic preparation for students considering entering the energy sector upon graduation and offer a critical perspective for students interested in energy more generally. We generally cover the following topic areas:

- Non-Renewable Resources (e.g. Oil, Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Carbon Capture & Storage)

- Renewable Resources (e.g. Solar, Hydro, Wind, Biomass/fuels)

- End Uses (e.g. Residential/Commercial/Industrial, esp. steel, concrete, etc.)

- Transportation (e.g. CAFE standards, technologies for various shipping modes)

- Infrastructure (e.g. urban energy, electric grid, electricity storage)

- Relevant other fields (e.g. thermodynamics, social science, climate, funding & policy, economics & finance)

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