EPICenter Releases Energy 101 Mini MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)

The Energy 101 SE video series provides high level as well as regional perspectives on energy systems, resources, economics, policy, and technology fundamentals for a general audience from ages 14 to 114. It builds upon a previous and comprehensive Energy 101 MOOC developed by Georgia Tech’s Strategic Energy Institute and originally launched in 2012. Nearly 100,000 learners accessed that course over the past decade. The easiest way to access the new Energy 101 Mini MOOC is with the link to the playlist, but each video focuses on a particular topic, so feel free to watch whatever is of interest.

The Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Institute

is one of Georgia Tech's ten Interdisciplinary Research Institutes. SEI integrates energy activities across the nation's largest technology university – from generation, to distribution, to use. Whether it’s commercializing a technology to address a specific challenge or designing a roadmap for focusing resources, we understand the systems, technologies, and context of the ever-evolving nature of energy production and use.

The Direct Air Capture Center (DirACC) is the culmination of more than a decade of research at Georgia Tech to develop materials and processes that extract carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere. Climate models suggest that negative emissions technologies (NETs) will need to be developed and deployed in order to stabilize the climate. With several recent awards, Georgia Tech researchers have launched the Direct Air Capture Center (DirACC). DirACC will create a forum for collaborative research on NETs and DAC, bringing together researchers from across the Institute working in energy, sustainability, policy, and related fields.
