What would happen if we could generate power from our windowpanes? In this moving talk, entrepreneur Justin Hall-Tipping shows the materials that could make that possible, and how questioning our notion of 'normal' can lead to extraordinary breakthroughs.

The panel on Emerging Energy Technologies is the final kick-off event for the 2011 YCEI annual conference.

Solutions to clean energy production are found at the nexus of science, policy, and industry. Understanding the potentials and limitations of emerging energy technologies, as well as the underlying science, is necessary for sound regulatory oversight and industrial-scale production.

The sun delivers more energy in a single day than the entire population of earth uses in a year.
As head of the photovoltaic incubator at the US's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Symko-Davies sees early stage technologies that are driving down costs and increasing the efficiency of our most plentiful energy source.

Bloom Energy is changing the way the world generates and consumes energy.

Our unique on-site power generation systems utilize an innovative new fuel cell technology with roots in NASA's Mars program.

Derived from a common sand-like powder, and leveraging breakthrough advances in materials science, our technology is able to produce clean, reliable, affordable power,... practically anywhere,... from a wide range of renewable or traditional fuels.
