Carbonomics and Renewable Energy at Middlebury College
What is the cycle of carbon from its generation to its exchange on the market? What are the environmental, social, and equity impacts associated with renewable energy projects and assets? How does Middlebury generate, manage, and monitor its growing and increasingly complex portfolio of renewables to reach carbon neutrality? We will explore these questions through lectures and group projects. By the end of this course students will be able to propose ways to optimize the management of Middlebury’s portfolio with an understanding of its relationship to financial, equity, and environmental considerations.
