Safety and Environmental Aspects of Energy Production

This course introduces safety, environmental and regulatory aspects of energy development and production. Students will learn about personal and process safety management in energy projects, as well as major State and Federal laws and regulatory programs governing oil and gas, and renewables in the US. Lectures will introduce and explain concepts of safety, regulation, environment, and sustainability, further illustrated through discussion of case studies from the global energy industry. Many examples come from oil and gas because of the maturity of that industry and parallels with renewable energy will be discussed.
