How can local governments use on-site renewable energy generation technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Get the latest on how to improve air quality and energy security with on-site renewable energy generation in our featured online course. Renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, and landfill gas, reduce GHG emissions by replacing fossil fuels. Renewables also reduce emissions of conventional air pollutants (e.g. sulfur dioxide) that result from fossil fuel combustion. Our comprehensive course developed by Dr. Mark P. Rossow, Ph.D., P.E. DR. MARK P. ROSSOW, Ph.D., P.E. examines technologies and applications for on-site renewable energy generation. Real-world examples of communities in which these technologies have been successfully implemented are also presented. The information in this engineering, online, PDH-approved course adheres to the EPA's “On-Site Renewable Energy Generation: A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs". This guide is an integral part of the EPA's Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series.
