Planners can better plan for the clean energy future if they have seen the latest clean technology advances for themselves. Explore the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Department of Energy's world-class renewable energy and sustainable transportation research and development laboratory. Learn about agrivoltaics (dual-use solar energy facilities) and the future of hydrogen energy and vehicle electrification from world-class experts, seeing first-hand what the land use and planning implications are.

* NREL is a secure federal facility. All visitors must be pre-registered and provide a US government-issued ID to receive a visitor badge and enter the facility.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore a dual-use solar energy-generation facility with crops and become familiar with the scale, sights, and sounds of a tracking solar facility.
  • Understand what a hydrogen fueling station looks like and the associated land use and safety considerations.
  • Better understand what the future of workplace vehicle charging will look like and access resources to support planning for vehicle-charging infrastructure.
