Led by Professors Lee Ann Galindo & Sophie Bricout

In the middle of the energy transition, students will delve into energy generation from renewable and nonrenewable primary sources in France. In this short trip, students will explore in Ile de France the operations from solar farm, waste-to- energy industry to understand how solar power and biomass energy can be used as sources of feasible solution for clean energy. Wait! Is it clean? The visit will allow the discussion on zeroemission energy that responds to the massive demand of the general population. What will be chosen? why? and when? We shall witness how energy generation affect the ecological and social conditions of the surroundings.
