A student with a passion for seeing solar energy developed globally, Arizona State University\u2019s Steven Limpert now has the funds to continue his studies in a big way.<\/p>\n

The third-year ASU student is the latest recipient<\/a> of the Circumnavigators Club Foundation grant\u2014one that he will use to study the development and commercialization of solar energy in a handful of key countries.\u00a0The $9,000 grant will take Limpert to six countries in 12 weeks. On the list are Spain, Germany, India, Bangladesh, Japan and Australia.<\/p>\n

In each country he plans on meeting with top researchers, policy makers and business people to get a better understanding of each nation\u2019s relationship to solar technology.<\/p>\n

Awarded to only four students per year, the Circumnavigators Club Foundation grant<\/a> has been used to fund travel-study trips for a variety of subjects, from human rights to diverse economic systems.<\/p>\n

Given the spike in interest on renewable energy, it seems only fitting that Limpert, an active participant in the ASU Solar Laboratory, be the next student to circumnavigate the globe.<\/p>\n

By understanding how governments around the world fund solar energy projects, perhaps this dedicated student will be the next to make a huge impact on the renewable energy market.<\/p>\n
