Summary
In this lecture, students will learn about the current state of energy production and consumption. Traditional sources of energy include non-renewable sources such as coal and oil. Renewable energy sources will be explored such as biofuels, solar cells, and fuel cells. Students will learn how energy is used within the laboratory to heat, cool, and for processing, along with alternative energy sources for performing synthetic reactions. The next generation of energy applications will also be discussed.
