Destination Decarbonization
Challenge!
The Destination Decarbonization Challenge is a case study competition open to undergraduate students who want to get involved in the energy industry, solve challenges surrounding carbon emissions in their local region, and win some prize money along the way!

The competition is a part of an NREL grant awarded the WET Center as a part of the
American Made Challenge.
Applications are now CLOSED!
Accelerating decarbonization and reducing climate change is a large global issue. However, we think that the most impactful change begins at the local level with students who are, in our opinion, future leaders of climate change for many years to come.
Introducing the Destination Decarbonization Challenge, where students in groups of 2 to 4, can apply and submit their innovative ideas. We have outlined all the important steps below! Deadlines are firm. When you apply, those deadlines will be shared with you and your group. You can learn more by checking out the Challenge Background here.
Finalists will be announced after March 28, 2023! Until then, sign up for our Pitch Day event below!
