Renewable energy

At Mines, researchers are developing control systems that expand the scope of renewable and hybrid energy technologies, including fuel cells and wind turbines.

At Mines, teams of researchers are working on the hydrogen problem — from developing electrolyzers to separate hydrogen from other energy sources to developing and testing the ceramic materials in fuel cells and making them commercially viable and cost-effective.

Neal Sullivan, director of the Colorado Fuel Cell Center, explains the process that turns intermittent wind and solar energy into carbon-free green hydrogen

Chemistry's Svitlana Pylypenko is looking for answers to questions of cost, durability and performance at the microscopic — and even nano — scale.

By Ashley Piccone, Special to Mines Research Magazine As the U.S. transitions to clean energy and a net-zero carbon future, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are becoming commonplace

What is exciting about our roadmap is that it considers community acceptance and sustainable development from the very first stages of design, rather than after a project has been fully planned,” said Jessica Smith, professor of engineering, design and society at Mines.

Researchers at Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently published findings on a critical route to reducing the cost of high-efficiency

The new Supply Chain Transparency Initiative at the Payne Institute for Public Policy aims to better understand the issues and, using Mines’ technical expertise, offer solutions for addressing them.

A team of Mines students, working with other college students in the Denver area, have been selected to compete in the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.

Sustainable Energy@Mines (SE@M) is a fully customizable pathway of distinction, combining classroom instruction, co-curricular and extracurricular experiences alongside opportunities for community building that students can integrate with their other academic studies.
