Renewable Energy in Denmark and Norway

Join us for an opportunity to learn about renewable energy while in Denmark and Norway, two countries with substantial renewable energy generation but with completely different resource bases. This study abroad includes a four-week course taught at several sites, including the Technical University of Denmark campus located in Copenhagen, Denmark (a widely acclaimed university with long history in technology) and Aalborg University in the Northern portion of peninsular Denmark called Jutland (ranked as the best engineering university in Europe several years in a row by major ranking organizations).

This experiential learning opportunity includes a visit to a large-scale wind turbine testing facility, a tour of the metro system in Copenhagen, and tour a waste to energy facility, visiting major electrolysis sites for hydrogen production, visiting major biomass-based energy installations, visiting hydro facilities, visiting people responsible for managing 0-100% swings in intermittent renewable energy contributions to the grid, and visiting a major carbon capture facility testing field-scale processes. You will gain experience and exposure that can be applied to renewable energy development in the USA and globally. We will also visit Frederiksborg Castle, Kronborg Castle, and various Viking sites. You can experience firsthand how sustainable living practices have been adopted.
