Abstract

The students of Calvin College’s Engineering 333 and Biology 354 classes were given the task of determining “What would it take to make Calvin College Carbon Neutral?” At first glance, it would not appear that classes on Advanced Thermal System Design and Investigations in Plant Ecology would have much in common. However, the biology and engineering students comprising these classes banded together to tackle the problem. Coming to a satisfactory conclusion would require:

  • Creating an inventory of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and sequestration potential
  • Coming up with detailed solutions to achieve Carbon Neutrality
  • Working out a practical schedule to implement those solutions
  • Developing a realistic plan to finance the process of achieving Carbon Neutrality
