ENERGY SOURCES | Energy types include both the categories we use to group energy sources (like fossil fuels, alternatives, and renewables) and the resources we derive energy from (like oil, solar, and nuclear). Each type of energy has unique characteristics and requires different technologies to convert it from a raw resource to a usable form of energy.
PRODUCTION & CONVERSION | Broadly, this refers to the “energy sector” or the various processes and technologies involved in extracting, processing, transporting, storing, and converting resources into usable forms of energy.
FORMS OF ENERGY | Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it simply changes form. Forms of energy refer to the states energy has been converted to so that it can be efficiently utilized for its end use, for example electricity or liquid fuels.
ENERGY USES | This refers to the end-uses society requires of energy. We don't care about a barrel of oil; we want transportation. We don't care about solar panels; we want electricity to power our lives. We all use energy to fulfill our basic human needs as it enables progress, productivity and quality of life.
Student Energy Chapters are an opportunity for students to establish a branch of the organization on their university campus. Chapters allow students to leverage our global brand and organizational knowledge to take action on energy in their communities by facilitating energy debates, executing energy projects, or hosting regional summits. Plus, the Global Chapter Network is an incredible opportunity for students to connect to and work with their like-minded peers from around the world.
This program is an incredible opportunity for students to make their voices heard, formulate opinions, and implement solutions. Student Energy Chapters are a vehicle to help these passionate youth transform into change agents who will make the visions of our sustainable energy future a reality.
