This is an introductory course to sustainable energy. Its a good place to begin with

Amazing lecture series. Improved my vision towards energy and environmental fields.

It is a fantastic subject. I have learned a lot from it. I like it.

Needs an update, this was recorded around 2015 or 2016.

Is a good and interesting course. I recommend it.

Outdated. Compiled in 2012, this course presents an outdated situation of the market. All data shown are from 2012 at the latest. the industry has considerably changed in the last 7 years. Plus most of the companies mentioned in the presentations that were active in the biofuel sector went bust or simply closed which poses the efficiency of all the solutions described during this course.

Some of the lectures are too detailed especially on the scientific side and fail to grab the big picture. Fortunately each lecture is followed by a Q&A from Dr Murphy who seems to be the only one to replace the topics in the general context.

Not adapted to an online format. Low quality videos.

Interesting topics, but no efficient progression. Many sections become an update about UCSD research, not adapted to the audience.

Amazingly broad and in depth information on past and future energy production technologies and their impact on society, economy, ecology and climate!

Thanks, Dr. Mayfield for putting this course together.

I would appreciate an update on the topics and data presented within the course. Hopefully someone will provide and continue this course and content.

I really enjoyed doing this course. I got a depth knowledge of the topics as the instructors explained it really well and It have impacted my future regarding conserving energy, what options we have and we can do as a community to bring those around us. It was great learning experience.

it is an excellent course, after going through this course i came to know that the situation is not aggravated still we have lot of opportunities to save our environment while improving per capita energy consumption specially in developing and under developed countries.

Nice and comprehensive information from all the fields.

A real world wide problem!

We are looking forward for even more up-to-date information, and data, and more in depth information, when they are readily available, either as in video information or as text links.

The best course I coincidently found, and had the pleasure and pride to be a part of. A whole new journey full of innovations and intense fundamental and advanced knowledge with numerous professors, both from industries and around the globe, and from universities.

Excellent course. A good introduction on the future of energy, and particularly on a new generation of biofuels. Also Professor Mayfield has a lot of charisma and you see the passion he transmits on this course. Certainly an enjoyable as informative experience.

Worthwhile my time as I've learned a lot. The lecturers are very professional and have insightful clear explanation about everything offered in the lesson. I have no more words to say, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great opportunity!

A simply outstanding course which highlights every aspect of energy, be it economical or technical. It speeds up the functioning of one's mind as he/she thinks of renewable energy! A highly recommended course for those interested in renewable energy.

A very detailed analysis of the present scenario of energy and also what our energy future will be like. Excellent presentations by the various scientists and teachers on the various energy fields. Great Q&A sessions by Steven Mayfield. Great Course.

This course was informative and provided an in depth view of energy consumption and how we are copying with it. I learned how to energy supply could be increased to meet the growing demands. However, we should also cut down on the amount of demands.

Fabulous course. Gives detailed insight into all sources of energy presently available to mankind. Only drawback is that it's not up to date. The course takes facts and references dating back to 2013-15. But overall a very good course.

Fantastic course, I learned a lot of research and development of biofuels from different feedstocks and microorganisms. Also about other interesting technologies and new perspectives of energy future in different regions of the world.

This is the first course that I have done on Coursera and I have to write: it has exceeded my expectations, It have give me tools to go forward in my studies about energy. I'm waiting for a course with updates about this subject!

Great course, the importance of education about our consumes is what will help communities in all the planet to search for proper technologies, inter act and search for local and global solutions to reduce CO2 emissions.

Love this course. Was great opportunity to learn new things and compare the knowledge what I have here in Lithuania as a thermal Engineer. Some things was really new and interesting, not so common in Europe. Thank you!

Very valuable and important course for the day today life. All human beings particularly engineers irrespective of streams have to study this and learn. Most things taught in the course are very useful and important.

it wasn't smg that i expected . too much chemistry instead of physics and explanation how are things working. really long hours to complete a homework but it was worth it! in the end i really enjoyed the course

It was a wonderful exposure for me to attend this course. I have found many sustainable energy solutions for people live in the rural areas of our country who do not have the access to the basic facilities.
