As the United States continues to emit more greenhouse gases per person than any other country in the world, a group of University of Wisconsin engineering students are seeking environmentally friendly ways to generate electricity and to power vehicles.
Future Energy is an opportunity for students to use their technical skills learned in classes and apply them to the real world field of science, all while earning credits.
“We are trying to come up with hydrogen energy sources so we can move away from being dependent on oil and reduce emissions to improve the environment and people’s health,” Future Energy team leader Paul Fraser said.
In the United States, approximately 6.6 tons of greenhouse gases are emitted per person every year. About 82 percent of these emissions are from burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and power cars. Scientists expect the average global surface temperature could rise 1-4.5
