The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) will hold its second energy research symposium featuring well-known speakers and leading researchers from Stanford and around the world. The three-day event is intended to provide a forum for the discussion of scientific results and developments that may lead to energy technologies with significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Both GCEP-funded and outside investigators will give presentations highlighting the results of their innovative research. Several poster sessions will also be held to allow all GCEP investigators and their graduate students to provide details of their work.
Monday's keynote speaker will be Dr. Steve Chu, Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and 1997 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. His keynote address will open a session that will include presentations from Stanford and outside experts intended to set the stage for the meeting by providing an overall perspective of the background to the technical talks given during the conference.
The agenda will cover the following topic areas:
Monday, September 18:
Morning-Global Energy Context; Afternoon-Solar Energy
Tuesday, September 19:
Morning-Bioenergy Storage and Conversion; Afternoon-Advanced Materials and Catalysts
Wednesday, September 20:
Morning-Carbon Mitigation, Capture, and Separation; Afternoon-Carbon Storage
The symposium is free and open to the Stanford community and other researchers and energy professionals. All attendees must register for the meeting by Friday, September 8, 2006. To register, please visit the symposium website at http://gcep.stanford.edu/symposium.
