Harvard Energy Journal Club
About Us
Interested in ENERGY? Decarbonization? Lunch? Come learn about energy science and technology through informal talks with a group of friendly peers at Harvard Energy & Sustainability Club!
We are a student-led club that meets weekly to deepen our understanding of the technical details of energy technology and science. These themes are often complex and interconnected.
Our topics, chosen based on member interest, generally fall within the following broad categories:
Renewable resources (e.g. solar, hydro, wind, biomass/fuels, geothermal)
Industrial energy use (e.g. steel, fertilizer, concrete, chemicals)
Transportation (e.g. cars, trains, planes, shipping, public infrastructure)
Infrastructure (e.g. electric grid, electricity storage)
Non-renewable resources (e.g. nuclear, carbon capture & storage)
Relevant other fields (e.g. thermodynamics, social science, climate, funding & policy, economics & finance)
The HEJC is open to students and postdocs within the Harvard and MIT communities. We welcome members to use their presentations as a chance to learn something new - specific technical expertise is not expected, but curiosity and respectful and engaged discussion is!
