Technology and Our Emerging Energy Crisis

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.

Three short presentations by Yale Ph.D. student experts on Bioenergy, Batteries, and Solar fuels will bring you up to speed on the most recent technological advances at Yale and beyond. Panel discussions will address if today's technologies have the potential to solve our energy crisis, which technologies are most likely to succeed, and how policy and industry need to be structured to move forward.
