Challenges in Energy Storage

 

This two-day symposium will focus on the science, technology, policy and entrepreneurial challenges in enabling new novel energy storage solutions for the future green energy initiatives. Towards this goal government leaders, entrepreneurs and front line researchers will share their experiences and present solutions for enabling these technologies to be adopted in the future.

 

Globally the use of traditional sources of energy have come under increased pressure for reform due to tighter competition for traditional resources and increasing evidence climate change. Towards the goal of lowering our carbon footprint and indigenizing our resource base there exists a significant gap in our ability to store large amounts of energy in a safe and viable fashion. This symposium constitutes a continuing conversation with frontline leaders in government, industry and research community on what solutions exists and timelines for their adoption.
