The Russ College of Engineering and Technology’s Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment (ISEE) has been awarded $2 million for two projects by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop advanced filaments for additive manufacturing and graphite for energy storage applications from mining wastes.
Industry partners will provide an additional $419,048 of cost-share. Both projects support the goals of the United States government to transition to 100% clean energy by 2035.
The Environmental Justice + Humanities Hub will combine humanities insights—from disciplines including history, anthropology, philosophy, and literature, among others—with environmental studies to create more well-rounded and effective solutions to environmental challenges, while teaching students to work closely with communities and address pressing issues in a meaningful way.
The project’s development has included leaders and collaborators from the School for Environment and Sustainability, Program in the Environment, Office of the Provost and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
