Koji Nakui, Senior Analyst for International coal policy, Coal Division, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), presented on the role of CCS and the future direction of energy policy in Japan at the Global CCS Institute's Japanese Members' Meeting held in Tokyo on 8 June 2012
Philip Lowe, Director General of Energy DG, European Commission was one of the keynote speakers of the 9th Annual LBS Global Energy Summit. He presented his views on the energy challenges of Europe, as well as EU's Energy RoadMap 2050.

This presentation was given as part of the CCS Ready workshop which was held in association with the 6th Asia Clean Energy Forum (20 – 24 June, Manila)
The workshop discussed the range of measures and best practices that can be implemented to prompt the design, permitting and construction of CCS projects when designing or building a new fossil fuelled energy or industrial plant.
The workshop hosted participants of the Asian Development Banks’ Regional Technical Assistance Program who updated the group on the outcomes of their individual projects.
This presentation provides an update on the current project being undertaken under the Asian Development Bank’s Regional Technical Assistance Program which aims to conduct an analysis of the potential for CCS, culminating in a road map for a CCS demonstration project in Vietnam.
Solutions for the Texas Energy Shortage Rick Borry
Ron Seidel, PE, principal at RBS Energy Consulting and Principal Solar, Inc. board member will discuss and answer questions about his recent whitepaper, "Solutions for the Texas Energy Shortage."
Ron's whitepaper is very timely because in the summer of 2011, Texas experienced extremely low reserve margin periods throughout the state... causing average wholesale electricity prices to skyrocket to more than twice their normal level. Given that Texas is expected to add another 14 million to its population between 2010 and 2030, these shortages raise alarms about the state's ability to meet future energy demand. Success will depend upon finding the most effective way to incent the development of more capacity.
Unlike many other states, Texas has had a competitive retail market for electricity since 2001, replacing the traditional cost of a service-based regulated market. The market requires customers to choose a competitive electricity supplier and allows retail suppliers to set their prices without regulatory interference. However, regulatory action has resulted in caps being placed on system-wide wholesale power prices with the intent of protecting consumers. It is these system-wide offer caps that have limited prices, reduced potential profitability for wholesalers and restrained the development of new generation.

Dr. Mohamed Salah Elsobki elaborating on the factors influencing renewable energy development in Egypt and possible scenarios for hybridization (integration of solar thermal into conventional thermal power stations) - presentation held at Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.[2] Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to our global energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.

Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.
Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass including farm and animal waste is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environmental pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.
Natural resources that can be replaced and reused by nature are termed renewable. Natural resources that cannot be replaced are termed nonrenewable.
Renewable resources are replaced through natural processes at a rate that is equal to or greater than the rate at which they are used, and depletion is usually not a worry.
Nonrenewable resources are exhaustible and are extracted faster than the rate at which they formed. E.g. Fossil Fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).
Green Growth examines the impact of wind energy on jobs and the economy in the EU. The wind energy industry increased its contribution to the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 33% between 2007 and 2010. In 2010, the industry’s growth was twice that of the EU’s GDP overall, with the sector contributing €32 billion to an EU economy in slowdown. Contents: The sector created 30% more jobs from 2007 to 2010 to reach nearly 240,000, while EU unemployment rose by 9.6% . By 2020, there should be 520,000 jobs in the sector. The sector was a net exporter of €5.7 billion worth of goods and services in 2010. The sector avoided €5.71 billion of fuel costs in 2010. The sector invested 5% of its spending in R&D – three times more than the EU average. Wind turbine manufacturers commit around 10% of their total turnover to R&D.

Feed-in Tariffs: The Most Effective Renewable Energy Policy on the Planet
Richard Deutschmann, VP Policy & Market Development at groSolar, starts off by discussing America's over dependency on fossil-fuels for energy generation and why solar energy is the most viable resource for energy generation for our country. He promotes the adoption of feed-in tariffs by the federal and local governments, arguing that this democratic policy will enable any citizen to start generating electricity, while reducing their energy costs and environmental impact. He demonstrates how well this policy worked in Germany and argues the same can be done in the US.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

14. The Sustainable Energy Utility
http://www.seu-de.org/
The SEU is a new utility serving the interests of sustainability. It partners with existing utilities
while building and investing in a sustainable energy infrastructure.
• The SEU was fist established by the State of Delaware on June 28, 2007 to:
- Promote, provide and invest in energy efficiency services – Legislated Target: 30% Reduction in energy use by 2020
- Promote, provide and invest in increased deployment of Distributed Renewable Generation – Legislated Target: 10-20%
of Electricity Sales from Distributed Renewables by 2020
• The SEU exists as a public/private partnership combining the best of both worlds
- SEU is organized as a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization
- Day to day operations are conducted by for-profit companies, non-profits & others specializing in the energy sector
- Eliminates silos and provides solutions throughout the energy spectrum

Testimony of John D. Podesta before
Vice President Biden's Middle Class Task Force
Philadelphia February 27, 2009
What can we do today
In Delaware, a “Sustainable Energy Utility” can
meet energy needs, not by building new power
plants but by weatherizing homes [and installing
solar panels]…creating a market…for the
verifiable energy savings they produce.
