    The course will cover the fundamentals of renewable and conventional energy production, transportation, processing, power, and the related marketing and trading activities.

The course will cover how the energy markets have evolved as more U.S. federal and local government incentives and mandates have increased the demand of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass. The course will include interactive trading in the Freeman School's state-of-the-art trading room, which will focus on the futures market of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) to test student-developed trading strategies, mark-to-market models, and risk management tactics used in today's fast-paced energy trading environment.
