CIVE 5365 — Climate Technologies for Decarbonization, Mitigation, and Adaptation
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springBostonOnlineTraditionalVideo Streaming
Presents the major engineering technologies and large-scale infrastructure changes needed to address global climate change. Examines multiple strategies for proposed engineering solutions, including mitigation of emissions (demand reduction and decarbonization), adaptation to climate change, carbon capture and storage (negative emissions), and geoengineering. Covers engineering and design fundamentals, technical feasibility for scale-up, and economic implications, informed by cutting-edge scientific and technical reports for each technology. Concludes with a holistic consideration of engineering costs, speed, effectiveness, and ethics in prioritizing investments in climate technologies.
