1st EU-US Business Roundtable on Energy & Technology

June 25, 2007 - June 26, 2007 (add to Outlook Calendar)
Intercontinental Hotel
Paseo de la Castellana 49
Madrid, 208046 Spain

Jose Luis Vittor will serve as a moderator on the panel discussion "Energy Efficiency: The Gains to be Made and the Implications at National and Corporate Levels." 

Program Description
Today, our devices are unable to harvest the full potential of the energy that fuels them. For example, two decades ago a car used only 25-30% of the potential energy generated by its fuel, today it is at 30-40%. However, technological advances are allowing us to make strides in energy efficiency, and the next generation may reach 50%. What are the trends and how are technological advances helping to increase energy efficiency and sustainability? How will technological change impact the demand for and the dependence on existing energy sources? What are the implications of these trends on business and government?

Stan Jensen will serve as a panelist on the discussion "Renewable Sources of Energy: What Makes Economic Sense?"

Program Description
Numerous possibilities and alternatives have been developed as feasible solutions to the energy problem: Solar, wind and geothermic energy, hydroelectricity, tar sands, shale oil, bio-fuels – and are not subject to the long-term supply dilemma that confronts the oil market. However, many of them are unstable, costly, and inefficient. How can we manage these renewable sources of energy to make them affordable? How can we transition to affordable and sustainable energy?
