This summer we’ve hosted 50
international interns focused on engineering, renewable development and environmental
studies. Some are creating GIS (geospatial information systems) layered maps
of renewable resources in the UK, Canada, U.S. and Russia. They will help
build our sustainable future and we are proud to share some recently completed
reports for you to read and share:
“The Health Costs of Coal-Source Electricity in Southeast Asia,” by Natalie Hisdahl
“Hydrogen for Large-Scale Electricity Generation in the USA,” by Deepak Prakash
“Offshore Wind Farms in the European Union,” by Brieuc Hamon
“Energy Storage Technologies,” by Andreas Oberhofer (ex: Solar Molten Salt Storage

All are available at: http://www.geni.org/globalenergy/research/index.shtml
While
some current global trends present real challenges, we are impressed with and
confident that these young professionals will help drive the solutions to a
more sustainable world. We also share a recent Harvard Business Review paper that makes the case for 1.5 billion people needing 2,500 kwh/person/year
to rise out of poverty. We can now leap-frog the fossil fuel path with small
scale solar and wind systems.
In partnership for the
planet,
