DESCRIPTION:WISE Energy Day 2018 will feature three panel sessions that see
k to discuss current and emerging themes in the sustainable energy sector
and beyond. This year we have the pleasure of announcing Professor Linda N
azar will be delivering a distinguished Keynote on the topic of '21st Cent
ury Promise of Battery Science for a Resilient Future'.\n\nAll are welcome
at this free publics event\, however space is limited. If you wish to att
end please register on Eventbrite.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1 – Access t
o Clean Energy for All: Is Innovation the Problem?The vision is to deliver
the next generation technologies\, innovations and practical solutions th
at will drive the costs of energy services to ta level low enough for a re
volution in energy access without the need for tax incentives and subsidie
s. The Affordable Energy for Humanity Global Change Initiative is an emerg
ing international collaboration between the world's leading scientists\, t
echnology developers and practitioners on the topic of universal energy ac
cess. We believe in a future where modern\, clean and reliable energy is a
ffordable and available to everyone.Our panel of social scientists\, techn
ology developers\, and industry leaders will provide an insight into globa
l energy poverty\, off-grid and mini-grid systems\, micro-pico-nano grids\
, and energy infrastructure challenges from a cultural\, social\, and envi
ronmental point of view.Panel 2 – Getting to a Low Carbon World: Capture o
r Utilize?Carbon emissions from fossil energy pose a global challenge. Wil
l the pathway to utilization of carbon in products prove to be more cost-e
ffective than capture and sequestration? Ambitious carbon reduction initi
atives are necessary to lower targeted greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. New
technologies\, innovative approaches to redesigning existing processes an
d a long term vision are all key components to making effective and sustai
nable change.Our panel of academic experts and industry leaders will discu
ss the development of emerging technologies and the strategic importance o
f long range carbon reduction planning for environmental benefits at the l
ocal and macro levels.Panel 3 – Blockchain in the Energy Sector: Bust or B
onanza?Blockchain is a technology for storing and transmitting digital inf
ormation that is decentralized\, secure\, transparent\, chronological and
reputed to be hackproof (CGI Group Inc.\, 2017). What are the implications
of digitization and data mining for the power & energy sector in the shor
t to medium term? What are the credible technological and policy options t
hat can meet the test of economic competitiveness\, sustainable business m
odels\, prosumer acceptance and financial viability?Our panel of industry
experts will talk about implementing blockchain solutions that can be a ga
me changer in the power and utility sector but are not yet visible on the
market.\n\nStudent Poster Opportunity\nAs a part of our annual Energy Day
event we are providing the opportunity for students to present their resea
rch to individuals from the government\, industry and academic communities
. There are 20 student spots available for showing and the first 10 to app
ly will be given up to $50.00 CAD in assistance with printing costs\, upon
request\, with original receipt. If you are\, or know of a student or gro
up of students working on energy related research related to our panel the

Panel 1 – Access to Clean Energy for All: Is Innovation the Problem?
The vision is to deliver t he next generation technologies\, innovations and practical solutions that will drive the costs of energy services to ta level low enough for a revo lution in energy access without the need for tax incentives and subsidies. The Affordable Energy for Humanity Global Change Initiative is an emergin g international collaboration between the world's leading scientists\, tec hnology developers and practitioners on the topic of universal energy acce ss. We believe in a future where modern\, clean and reliable energy is aff ordable and available to everyone.
Our panel of social scientists\, technology developers\, and industry leaders will provide an insight into global energy poverty\, off-grid and mini-grid systems\, micro-pico-nano g rids\, and energy infrastructure challenges from a cultural\, social\, and environmental point of view.
Panel 2 – Getting to a Low Car bon World: Capture or Utilize?
Carbon emissions from fossil energy pose a global challenge. Will the pathway to utilization of carbon in products prove to be more cost-effective than capture and sequestratio n? Ambitious carbon reduction initiatives are necessary to lower targeted greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. New technologies\, innovative approaches to redesigning existing processes and a long term vision are all key compo nents to making effective and sustainable change.
Our panel of acade mic experts and industry leaders will discuss the development of emerging technologies and the strategic importance of long range carbon reduction p lanning for environmental benefits at the local and macro levels.
Panel 3 – Blockchain in the Energy Sector: Bust or Bonanza?
Blockchain is a technology for storing and transmitting digital information that is decentralized\, secure\, transparent\, chronological and reputed to be hackproof (CGI Group Inc.\, 2017). What are the implicat ions of digitization and data mining for the power &\; energy sector in the short to medium term? What are the credible technological and policy options that can meet the test of economic competitiveness\, sustainable b usiness models\, prosumer acceptance and financial viability?
Our pa nel of industry experts will talk about implementing blockchain solutions that can be a game changer in the power and utility sector but are not yet visible on the market.
As a part of our annual Energy Day event we are providing the opport unity for students to present their research to individuals from the gover nment\, industry and academic communities. There are 20 student spots avai lable for showing and the first 10 to apply will be given up to $50.00 CAD in assistance with printing costs\, upon request\, with original r eceipt.
If you are\, or know of a student or group of stude
nts working on energy related research related to our panel themes please
