"Widespread Adoption of Renewable Energy: Challenges and Material Science Opportunities"
(Seminar/Conference)
Seminar by Dr. Jeffrey S. Nelson, Sandia National Laboratories
Increased energy security, decreased dependence on fossil fuels, improved energy efficiencies, and reduction in CO2 emissions are primary drivers for future DOE/DOD military installations and civilian energy infrastructures. These goals suggest a greater reliance on centralized and distributed renewable energy (RE). As the RE content of our energy infrastructure increases, serious issues associated with availability and reliability of our electricity emerge. Because of this, new technologies will need to be developed to convert, route, and store diverse sources of energy. In this presentation, I will discuss these challenges and highlight material science research opportunities in solar electric, wind, geothermal, and solar fuels.
