The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) will hold its fourth energy research symposium featuring well-known speakers and leading researchers from Stanford and around the world. The three-day event will provide a forum for the discussion of scientific results and developments that may lead to energy technologies with significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The symposium will open with a keynote address give by Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board. The first day of the conference will include general sessions in which representatives from a number of university-based energy research programs will give their outlook on energy research in the next five years. Technical leaders from GCEP will also give an overview of the research progress made and the opportunities that lie ahead in a broad set of energy areas over the next five years.
