In 2016, the landscape for renewables looks encouraging and challenging.听The recent enthusiastic buzz and public support surrounding renewable energy confronts doubt despite decades of roughly 30% annual growth in solar and wind production. Costs of renewables are dropping rapidly, as photovoltaic modules costs have fallen by approximately 10% per year over the past 30 years and the costs of wind turbines by roughly 5%. Yet, still only 23% of installed capacity is from renewable resources. Why not a higher percentage?

Join international technical experts and thought leaders as they explore integrating renewables, energy storage, and leadership needed to听transform society.

Presentations include: "Pick your battles: Championing clean energy at the corporate and community levels" (Radford), "Renewable energy integration: the good, the bad and the ugly" (O'Malley), and "Roadmaps for transitioning all 50 U.S. states and 139 countries to wind, water, and solar power for all purposes" (Jacobson)

Each year the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED) at 91社区 and the Institut de l鈥櫭﹏ergie Trottier (IET) at Polytechnique Montr茅al take turns hosting the Trottier Symposium in Sustainable Engineering, Energy and Design.听Made possible through the generous support the听Trottier Family Foundation, this is a forum for students, professors, government and industry professionals to connect with the general public on advancements for sustainability through engineering and design.
