Webinar: Proposed government–provided incentives to promote the capture and u...Global CCS Institute
It is widely recognised that additional large–scale early mover projects are needed to advance CCS/CCUS. These projects will reduce CCS cost through ‘learning by doing’ and by serving as platforms to demonstrate emerging lower-cost technologies. They will also increase public confidence in the safety and efficacy of CCS. However, high capture costs and lack of incentives are discouraging new large–scale projects from entering the planning pipeline and making it difficult for existing projects to reach a financial investment decision.
The National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative (NEORI) and the Coal Utilization Research Council (CURC) have each developed concepts for incentivising large–scale projects through a tax credit tied to the use of captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. Both organisations estimate that the government would recover its credit investment within 10 years from tax and royalty revenue received on additional oil production, and that the investment would become revenue positive for the government thereafter.
A Global CCS Institute webinar was held on Wednesday 26th June where Patrick Falwell, Solutions Fellow for the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), on behalf of Judi Greenwald, Vice President for Technology and Innovation at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), discussed the NEORI concept. Patrick was joined by Ben Yamagata, Executive Director of CURC, who discussed the CURC concept.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

4. Budget Request of $27.2 Billion
Reflects tough choices to cut back in areas in order to invest in
strategic priorities
Cutting what’s not needed: President’s budget eliminates ~ $4 billion in
unnecessary fossil fuel subsidies. Scales back work on sodium-ion
batteries for grid-scale energy storage since Recovery Act project is on
track to show commercial viability.
Cutting what’s not working: Over the past two years, ARPA-E, FE and
EERE have discontinued funding for a combined total of nearly 35 projects
that did not meet research milestones nor hold promise to achieve
success.
Investing where we can have the greatest impact: Given the
commercial success of onshore wind energy, wind program focuses on
next generation technologies and offshore wind. Levelized cost of land
based wind across U.S. (unsubsidized) is estimated to be 7.2 c/kWhr.

5. Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility
and Management Excellence
• Organizing along lines of business and coordinating across programs
to maximize energy technology R&D in areas from solar to batteries to
biofuels and more.
• Saving taxpayer money through more efficient operations.
Avoided $3M in costs in FY11 through reduced travel; instituted use of non-
refundable airline ticket purchases when travel isn’t expected to change;
Achieved roughly $330M in strategic procurement savings in FY11;
Overhauled Energy.gov to consolidate websites and save $10M annually.
• Reducing our vehicle fleet by 35% in the next few years.
• Reduced the time to hire by more than 40% and will continue to improve.
