The first UNH Energy Conference was sponsored by the UNH Energy Laboratory and took place June 20-21, 2008 at Kingsbury Hall on the Durham campus of the University of New Hampshire. 

 

Many thanks go out to all those that helped organize the conference, presented during the conference and those that attended for making the event a great success!

 

This conference was part of a campus-wide effort to promote sustainability on both a personal and societal level, via education, research, and environmentally sound practices on USNH campuses statewide. Attendees included engineers, scientists, industry leaders, public policy makers, environmentalists, legal experts, educators, students, and concerned citizens.

 

A variety of topics were offered during the conference, with presentations on power-generation technologies, energy storage and distribution systems, transportation, energy efficient end-usage, and public-policy and economic issues. These presentations were approximately 30 minutes long ran during two parallel sessions

A keynote address was given at the end of the first day by Dr. Paul Werbos of the National Science Foundation and a panel discussion concluded the conference. This closing panel was comprised of energy experts from academia, industry, and the NH state government, and they answered questions as well as discussed pertinent energy issues.

 

The conference was a free event and open to the public thanks to our Sponsors

UNH Energy Club

 

The UNH Energy Club was started after the 2008 UNH Energy Conference.  The club is a group of students interested in learning more about energy. Students from all disciplines are welcome to join the club. We plan to educate ourselves and the community on energy from a holistic viewpoint, learning about generating, transporting, storing and consuming energy from a technical, legal, and social point of view. This education will come from networking with professionals, embarking on educational trips, and supporting energy related projects across campus.

 

The UNH Energy Club has a mailing list to which we send our newsletters as they come out. These newsletters will keep you informed about club logistics, local energy related events, UNH student projects, our professional lecture series as well as scholarships and grants that are available. If you wish to be added to the mailing list then send an email to: unhEnergyClub@gmail.com with subject 'Add to mailing list'.
