Fight Climate Change With Your Computer While You Sleep

Want to do something to support clean energy, but don’t have enough money or space for solar panels or wind turbines?

Do you ever wish you could assist research on climate change, but don’t have the right background?

Well you are in luck! Your computer can do research on climate modeling and next-generation solar cells while you sleep or watch TV!

Thanks to volunteer computing projects made possible by BOINC and World Community Grid, you can be boosting research on climate and clean energy (and cancer, Zika, aliens, prime numbers, astrophysics…) in just minutes.

The Clean Energy Project uses your computer to model new compounds for solar cells and see which might work best in terms of efficiency and other criteria.
