About this event

As California and the world seek to reduce their carbon intensity, what would it take for solar thermal technologies to deliver a cost-effective low-carbon supplemental source of energy for industrial processes? This symposium brings together representatives from R&D agencies, research institutions, and industry to identify promising solutions that could generate significant commercial impact.

8:00 Meet & Greet

9:00 Introductory session

Moderator:

Mary Werner (NREL)

Panelists:

Brian Borak (ARPA E)

Trevor Demayo (Chevron)

Lun Jiang (UC Merced)

• What are the best strategies for meeting the needs of industrial processes? What would it take for solar thermal to satisfy these needs? What’s needed to bring down cost?

• When will solar thermal have an advantage over other energy sources?

• Where are the technical opportunities?

• What policies would be needed to help start this market? Why aren’t people taking advantage of the current opportunities?

17:00 Adjourn
