From restructuring and increased competitiveness in power production, to the need for additional production and distribution capacity, the nation’s power system is facing a diverse and broad set of challenges in order to meet demand growth and new quality and reliability expectations for our grid and power supplies. Although these challenges may create uncertainty within the financial and electricity supply markets, they also offer the potential to explore new opportunities to support the accelerated deployment of cleaner and cost-effective technologies to meet demand. This online mechanical and environmental engineering course developed by industry expert Steven Liescheidt, PE, CCS, CCPR describes alternate clean energy technologies for various industries. The course material will also discusses how and why energy from renewable energy sources (e.g. solar, wind, hydro, and biomass) are considered carbon-neutral energy technologies. The material in this course is derived from, "Clean Energy Technologies: A Preliminary Inventory of the Potential for Electricity Generation", publication No. LBNL-57451.
