Energy Exchange was a seminar series hosted by the EMS Energy Institute until 2016 as part of its outreach mission. The seminars focused on highly relevant energy topics especially in the area of fossil fuels. Energy topics discussed included new innovations in carbon dioxide utilization, clean coal, petroleum and natural gas, fuel cells, and more. Speakers included Penn State faculty as well as government and industry professionals.
