Renewable energy

By Ashley Piccone, Special to Mines Research Magazine As the U.S. transitions to clean energy and a net-zero carbon future, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are becoming commonplace

What is exciting about our roadmap is that it considers community acceptance and sustainable development from the very first stages of design, rather than after a project has been fully planned,” said Jessica Smith, professor of engineering, design and society at Mines.

Researchers at Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently published findings on a critical route to reducing the cost of high-efficiency

The new Supply Chain Transparency Initiative at the Payne Institute for Public Policy aims to better understand the issues and, using Mines’ technical expertise, offer solutions for addressing them.

A team of Mines students, working with other college students in the Denver area, have been selected to compete in the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.

Sustainable Energy@Mines (SE@M) is a fully customizable pathway of distinction, combining classroom instruction, co-curricular and extracurricular experiences alongside opportunities for community building that students can integrate with their other academic studies.

Mines’ solar power output will dramatically increase starting this spring, with the installation of six new rooftop solar arrays and solar parking canopies in the Clear Creek Athletics Complex.

Chemical engineering PhD student Yinan Liu was the lead author on the paper, published in the journal Applied Physics Reviews in November.

Kate Anderson, a PhD student in the Advanced Energy Systems program, was this year's winner of the C3E Social, Economic, and Policy Innovation Award.

Mechanical engineering junior Adam Schwartz selected as a University Innovation Fellow, a program from Stanford University's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.
