This document summarizes the 2015 Texas Energy Innovation Challenge competition held by Power Across Texas. The competition challenged interdisciplinary teams to develop innovative and economically viable solutions for managing water produced during hydraulic fracturing operations. University of Houston won first place for their pipeline technology proposal. Other top finishers were Texas Tech University in second place, University of Texas at Austin in third place, University of Texas at El Paso in fourth place, and Texas A&M University in fifth place. The competition aimed to address the growing issue of water management in Texas' oil and gas industry.
A 174-page study issued by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 2011 evaluating natural gas and how it fares as an energy source in a political environment where carbon is taxed. That is, how competitive is natural gas when considering lower carbon emissions standards? The study finds, among other things, that hydraulic fracturing technology as used in shale gas drilling is safe.

This document presents the Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts for Energy Education, which provide a framework for energy education. It was developed through a collaborative process involving multiple federal agencies and organizations. The intended use is for both formal and informal energy education, as well as standards development, curriculum design, and educator training. It identifies seven Essential Principles of energy literacy and supporting Fundamental Concepts to focus energy education on concepts essential for all citizens. The principles and concepts are meant to guide, not prescribe, energy education.
This document presents the essential principles and fundamental concepts for energy education. It aims to outline key energy understandings needed to make informed energy decisions. The document was developed through a collaborative process involving multiple federal agencies and organizations. It identifies seven essential principles for energy literacy and supporting fundamental concepts for each principle.

The overarching goal is to enhance energy literacy so that individuals and communities can make well-informed choices about energy issues.
Opportunities for Women in US Renewables... and Getting Them ThereLeslie Martel Baer
The energy industries will see the largest business investments of any industry in the coming decades... and that means jobs. The opportunities in renewables and clean energy will grow particularly fast. How can women, who are historically under-represented in STEM professions leverage this growth and be a part of the energy boom? Four panelists who have made energy their careers will share their insights into how it's done now, what policies would help place more women in energy, and what we can expect in the future, including women from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Tristate Generation & Transmission Association, and the US Department of Energy.

This document provides an abstract for a study conducted by MIT on the future of natural gas. The study was sponsored by several organizations and had an advisory committee. The study group consisted of researchers from MIT who analyzed the role of natural gas in a carbon-constrained world. The study found that natural gas resources, particularly shale gas in North America, could be developed at relatively low cost. Natural gas is likely to play an expanded role in the energy system in a carbon-constrained world by substituting for coal and oil in various sectors. The study also examined uncertainties around climate policy and the evolution of gas markets.
This document summarizes efforts to build extension capacity on issues related to animal agriculture and climate change. A national project team, led by researchers from various universities, is hosting events and developing educational materials. They are creating an online certification course and building partnerships to address this topic across different regions of the United States. The goal is to provide information on climate trends and impacts, adaptation strategies, carbon footprints and mitigation, and regulations to help stakeholders in this area. Input from audiences will help shape the project's content and delivery methods.

This document summarizes a report on transforming U.S. energy innovation produced by researchers at Harvard Kennedy School. It discusses the need for an energy technology revolution to address climate change and energy security challenges. The U.S. energy innovation system involves government investments in energy research and development as well as policies to drive private sector deployment of new technologies. However, private markets alone are insufficient for energy innovation due to long timescales and risks. The report evaluates U.S. energy budgets and policies and provides recommendations to improve energy technology development and deployment.

It emphasizes the importance of investing wisely in workforce education to support Texas' clean energy future.
This document presents an overview of the history of human energy use from early use of fire over 400,000 years ago to modern developments in electricity generation and transmission. Key developments discussed include the mastery of fire for cooking and heating, the transition from wood to coal as the main fuel source beginning around 2,400 years ago, the invention of the steam engine which powered the Industrial Revolution and transitioned society to coal as the primary fuel, and the development of technologies in the late 19th century allowing for large-scale generation and transmission of electricity. The document provides this brief historical context to frame human understanding of energy over time.
This document summarizes a wastewater treatment, reuse and outreach program at the Autonomous University of Benito Juarez in Oaxaca, Mexico. The program was a collaboration between the university, Humboldt State University, and private engineering firms. It aimed to build local capacity for natural wastewater treatment and reuse through workshops, an on-campus demonstration facility, and assistance to two communities to implement constructed wetland treatment plants. The program faced challenges from political and cultural differences but established an on-campus treatment system, outreach program, and plans to continue supporting wastewater management in the region.

1. Power Across Texas • The Third Biennial • Texas Energy Innovation Challenge•
Whatto do with water produced from hydraulic fracturing?
The Texas Energy Innovation Challenge (TEIC) is the
signature program of Power Across Texas (PAT), a
501(c)3 non-profit. TEIC fosters development of
relevant new ideas towards addressing significant
energy issues in TX.
The 2015 TEIC third biennial competition challenged
inter-disciplinary colleagues to solve an existing
energy problem for Texans.
Texas oil and gas production is key for the US and the Texas
economy. Water use by the oil and gas industry is expected
to increase as a result of the shale revolution. As water
intensive drilling techniques spread across the state, the
water used by the oil and gas industry increases accordingly.
Meanwhile, since 2011, Texas has been experiencing
drought conditions while simultaneously realizing a rapidly
increasing population. The potential for energy self-
sufficiency will substantially depend on industry’s success in
developing integrated and sustainable water management
practices. – Sustainable Water Management in the Texas Oil
and Gas Industry
Research, evaluate & develop the most creative and economic
use for water produced from hydraulic fracturing of wells, whether
that solution includes recycling, disposal or discharge.
An innovative, yet realistic and persuasive proposal for a non-
commercialized method or technology; or a modification to a method
or technology that is already commercialized;
A business and financial model that demonstrates the financial viability
and sustainability of the proposal;
A description of any policy, law or regulatory opportunities or barriers
that enable or curtail commercialization of your proposal, and
proposed recommendations for any necessary changes;
An understanding of the technical engineering aspects of the proposed
technology or method;
An overview of why this technology/method is value-added for the
specific geological shale formation the proposal is addressing.
NOTE: Each project proposal must identify a specific shale formation.
Check out the full topic description of the 2015 Texas Energy Innovation
Challenge and the PAT 2015 TEIC Rules & Evaluation Form.
