“Green Energy for All”
Updated: Sep 2
A GRAND COLLABORATION ON RENEWABLE ENERGY
Spring 2022
Belize / US
The Challenge
The world is in an energy generation transition from carbon (green-house gas) emitting sources such as coal and oil and replacing these with renewable energy and other forms of generation such as storage, nuclear and hydrogen. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to reduce global average temperatures.
Industry’s challenge is, how to create a carbon free electric grid that is safe, reliable, cost effective, sustainable and environmentally sound by 2050.
GE Renewable is working on solutions. https://www.ge.com/renewableenergy/home
Students and teachers in collaboration with One Voice 4 Change, PathLight Belize, PathLight International, Government of Belize, STEM School Highlands Ranch, and GE Renewable Energy designed solutions to answer the challenge.
Facilitating teachers and their students were introduced to subject matter experts in Energy who were mentors in an experiential learning adventure.
Students from STEM and Belize have great passion for solving this challenge.
(insert student testimonials - why this matters to them)
Mentors from GE Renewable played two roles in empowering the students' passions.
