The lecture will explore the role of technology in promoting environmental sustainability. It focuses on the development and implementation of innovative technologies that can help address environmental challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future.We are developing green technologies to benefit sustainable environment, which will enable people and the environment to prosper together. The Center for Filtration Research (CFR) at the University of Minnesota, collaborating with 20 leading international filtration manufacturers and end users, was established to develop green technologies to mitigate PM2.5, VOCs, ozone and other environmental pollutants. CFR investigators perform fundamental and applied research on air, gas and liquid filtration. The current research projects include indoor air cleaning and Covid prevention, bioaerosols sensor development and evaluation, nanofiber production and modeling, nanotechnology and instrumentation developments, among others. Large-scale air cleaning towers are established in Xi’an and Yancheng in China, and two additional towers in Delhi, India. They are developed to mitigate PM2.5 pollutants in urban air. The second-generation tower in Yancheng is developed to reduce not only the PM2.5 but also CO2 in the atmosphere. The construction of a set of large-scale air cleaning towers to capture 16 million tons of CO2 annually is proposed. All these research and development activities are helping to improve sustainable environment.

A transition to sustainable energy is needed for our climate and welfare. In this engineering course, you will learn how to assess the potential for energy reduction and the potential of renewable energy sources like wind, solar and biomass. You’ll learn how to integrate these sources in an energy system, like an electricity network and take an engineering approach to look for solutions and design a 100% sustainable energy system.
