Albert Kreutzer ’25 MECHANICAL AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING PROJECT TITLE Opportunities and Challenges of Liquified Petroleum Gas as a Marine Fuel ORGANIZATION(S) Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation LOCATION(S) Singapore MENTOR(S) Lynn Loo, Chief Executive Officer, Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation My project examined the uptake of energyefficient technologies on ships. The problem of the uptake of these technologies can be split into two components: the split-incentive problem of financing, and the risk and uncertainty assessment regarding the technology. Our tasks contributed more to the uncertainty assessment of the efficiency measures, where we specifically looked at the devices and measures themselves and identified potential solutions for measuring their effectiveness and lowering the uncertainty. This involved integrating knowledge on the specific technology and the general shipping industry in order to identify the best possible solution. I also met with other stakeholders in the industry, which was an incredible opportunity to gain insight into their workflows, and an understanding of how the industry is working towards global environmental targets. All in all, this experience has taught me a lot about the challenges that the future holds, but has made me hopeful that the world will face these challenges. INNOVATION AND A NEW ENERGY FUTURE 76
Nicholas Lim ’24 SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS PROJECT TITLE Social Norm Dynamics and Behavior and Organizational Change Toward Net-Zero Carbon Emissions ORGANIZATION(S) Behavioral Science for Policy Lab, Princeton University LOCATION(S) Princeton, New Jersey MENTOR(S) Elke Weber, Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment, Professor of Psychology and the School of Public and International Affairs; Jordana Composto, Ph.D. candidate, Psychology My project aimed to identify behavioral barriers to decarbonization in the United States and Europe. I investigated the integration of lowcarbon technology. The project’s foundation is a survey given to various stakeholders in the net-zero transition. I identified areas where progress was lacking and supplemented this with information on how polarization has impacted the integration of low-carbon technology. The data illustrated that there has been some progress — perceived levels of investment are high, as is prioritization of implementing low-carbon technology. However, the data indicated that levels of sharing of intellectual property is comparatively low, and levels of sharing of technological information were lower in polarized countries. Through this project, I gained experience with the program R, and how to analyze and present data. I enjoyed the opportunity to combine my passion for sustainability with my academic interest in polarization and I now have a greater understanding of the harmful effects of polarization in society. This research illustrates the importance of sharing information and intellectual property in the net-zero transition. INNOVATION AND A NEW ENERGY FUTURE 77
