ORISE Undergraduate Scholarship Competition

 

ORISE Undergraduate Scholarship Competition
Carbon Dioxide Removal: Reducing Our Footprint

Deadline: Wednesday, November 30, 2022, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time  

 

The Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Carbon Negative Shot to advance the development of the emerging and necessary carbon dioxide removal industry. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) plays a critical role in helping the United States address the current climate crisis, as well as achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) facilitated the DOE Carbon Negative Shot Summit in July 2022 to increase collaboration on this effort. Despite the many efforts that have been made so far toward CDR, there is still a lot of work to be done.

 

To continue that work, ORISE is hosting a research-based challenge for undergraduate students! The challenge is for students to develop an infographic to communicate the current leading ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Thorough submissions will include research on at least four current carbon dioxide removal methods, as well as research on new developments in carbon dioxide removal. Your infographic could win you a $5,000 scholarship! The deadline for this competition is Wednesday, November 30, 2022, and winners will be announced in late December.

 

Prizes:

• 1st place: $5,000 scholarship 
• 2nd place: $3,000 scholarship 
• 3rd place: $1,000 scholarship

Fall 2022 Hydrogen Energy Systems GE 4633/GE 5970

Fall 2022
Hydrogen Energy Systems GE 4633/GE 5970
3 cr hr elective meets TR 12-1:15 PM

MEWBOURNE SCHOOL OF PETROLEUM

AND GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING

New Class on Hydrogen Energy Systems will be taught by

Dr. Baharak Sajjadi.

Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only

water. Hydrogen can be found naturally (white Hydrogen) produced from

a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas (gray Hydrogen), from

natural gas with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen) nuclear power,

biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind (green hydrogen). These

qualities make it an attractive fuel option for transportation and electricity

generation applications. It can be used in cars, in houses, for portable

power, and in many more applications. This course will address all the

aspects of generation, transportation, storage, and utilization of hydrogen.
