Argonne ESCAPE Workshop: GREET Model
The GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) model is a life-cycle analysis (LCA) model to examine energy and environmental impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels. The model includes advanced vehicle technologies such as hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery-powered electric vehicles, and fuel-cell vehicles. Fuel production pathways include those from petroleum, biofuels (first, second, and third generation), hydrogen production pathways, and various electricity generation systems.
At present, there are more than 18,000 registered GREET users worldwide. The model has been used by governmental agencies, industries, and research institutions to analyze energy and environmental effects of new vehicle/fuel technologies.
In this one-day workshop, Argonne GREET team will present overview of the GREET model development and structure of the model and will conduct case simulations with GREET. Through the workshop, attendees will
- Learn the basics of life-cycle analysis of energy systems
- Understand logics of the GREET model development
- Use the GREET model to generate LCA results for vehicle/fuel systems
- Pursue sustainability evaluation of new energy technologies

19th Annual Cancer Survivors’ Celebration & Walk
Celebrate and Walk on Sun. June 3!
Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University 19th Annual Cancer Survivors’ Celebration & Walk
The 19th Annual Cancer Survivors’ Celebration & Walk is the Lurie Cancer Center’s tribute to cancer survivors, and the strides we’re making in cancer treatment and research. The walk takes place on National Cancer Survivors Day, Sunday, June 3, 2012.
The non-competitive three mile walk* begins in Grant Park at the corner of Columbus and Balbo Drives and continues along Chicago’s lakefront. This community awareness event is expected to draw close to 4,000 participants—bringing together cancer survivors, family and friends with the physicians, scientists and health professionals who support them.
The celebration begins at 7:30 a.m., and the walk steps off at 8:30 a.m.—rain or shine. The morning filled with festivities for the family includes, a picnic, t-shirt, music, entertainment, an opportunity to sign the Dedication Wall and more.
No pledges are required to be part of this extraordinary and meaningful celebration. Registration is $15 in advance, and includes a Walk t-shirt and all the fun. Registration is $25 on walk day.
Registration and details are available at cancer.northwestern.edu or 312.695.1300.
* The walk route is approximately three miles long, but many people who register choose to just walk part of the distance, or to stay in Grant Park and enjoy the entertainment and celebration.
The Lurie Cancer Center supports the following concept from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship: "from the moment of diagnosis through the balance of life, an individual diagnosed with cancer is a cancer survivor."
CLP Core Crawl
The Chemistry of Life Processes Institute (CLP) invites NU researchers to join the CLP Core Crawl on July 12th in Silverman Hall. The event connects the NU research community to instrumentation and expertise in the areas of top-down and bottom-up proteomics, small molecule discovery, biologics production, visualization and quantization of inorganic elements, and various types of imaging. FREE FOOD, DRINKS and RAFFLE! For more information, visit clp.northwestern.edu/corecrawl
