This will be a great session at CAP congress this year, hope you will attend and participate!: What can we do today to meet tomorrow’s demands for energy? - Special Energy Tech. Session at CAP Congress 2012: message from CAP: "You are undoubtedly aware that our ability to meet future energy needs is challenged by many factors, such as sustainability and efficiency in production, storage, and conversion to forms suitable for transportation. You should also know that there will be a special session on Energy Technologies at the CAP Congress, jointly sponsored by DIAP and DCMMP. The session will consist of two parts: the first part featuring distinguished invited speakers and the second part, a public forum, to critically examine submitted ideas for answers to the question: if we are to do something effective today to resolve the challenges related to energy supply, what would that be?
We invite you to submit a suggested answer to the above question for discussion at the session. You may submit an idea for yourself or on behalf of a group, such as students in a course on energy issues. This session is open to ideas that may include, but is not limited to, the production of electricity, storing it in a different form, converting it to fuel or portable fuel for transportation. You should be able to argue that your idea is a workable plan, not a dream. For example, it should be based on technologies that already exist or that could be scaled up.
In the Forum, the presentation of ideas will follow the schedule below:
10 minutes: Presenter: Description of the idea and evidence for why it is workable now, without having to wait for a fundamental breakthrough.
5 minutes: Audience: Assessing the idea and its impact only by making positive comments. (Comments will be live-displayed in bullet form)
5 minutes: Audience: Assessing the idea and its impact only by making negative comments. (Comments will be live-displayed in bullet form)
5 minutes: Moderator: Wrap-up to ensure comments as captured live are correct and accurate.
Please rise to the challenge and submit your idea (a page or less) to Zin Tun at zin.tun@nrc.gc.ca. Deadline for the submission is 1 June 2012. Having your idea pre-approved will ensure that there is a 25 minute time slot for discussion of your idea. If time is available, ideas not submitted in advance may be discussed."
