Columbia University, Masters of Science in Earth Resources Engineering - Sustainable Energy, 3 Semester(s)

The purpose of the Sustainable Energy Concentration is to expose students to modern energy technologies and infrastructures and to the associated environmental, health, and resource limitations. Energy and economic well-being are tightly coupled. Fossil fuel resources are still plentiful, but access to energy is limited by environmental and economic constraints.

A future world population of ten billion people trying to approach the standard of living of the developed nations cannot rely on today's energy technologies and infrastructures without severe environmental impacts.

Concerns over climate change and changes in ocean chemistry require reductions in carbon dioxide emissions but most alternatives to conventional fossil fuels, including nuclear energy, are too expensive to fill the gap. Yet, access to clean, cheap energy is critical for providing mineral resources, water, food, housing and transportation.

Building and shaping the energy infrastructure of the 21st century is one of the central tasks of modern engineering. The emphasis of the Sustainable Energy concentration will be on energy generation and use of technologies that aim to overcome the limits to growth that are experienced today.
