报告内容介绍:
Prof. Wiltowski will concentrate on the required energy research that will help to solve so called “energy dilemma”. To do this, we need to develop advanced technology, innovative public policy, and enlightened consumer choice. Innovation and commercialization cycles in the energy industry are long. To guarantee energy supplies in the future, it is necessary to continue improving traditional technologies and promote new processes.Technology must advance clean coal technologies and carbon chemical sequestration. Public policies and requirements must fuel research, regulate efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and facilitate distributed generation. Lastly, the consuming public must make decisions informed by facts and the realization that we are all in this together.
