Energy Technologies

The Energy Technologies topic covers new energy sources and resources, power generation, energy storage and electronic systems for energy sources used in mobile technologies and off-grid applications. Proposals in all areas of energy generation are welcome, with an emphasis on how the new idea competes favorably with existing solutions. Proposals in carbon conversion and disruptive technologies in conventional resources (natural gas exploration and production) are also welcome. Proposals that focus on the intersection of energy technologies and data are welcome across all areas where integration with energy technology applications is the primary thrust (including computational technologies). Proposals with ideas on nature-inspired processes for sustainable energy solutions and carbon storage, reducing the carbon and resource intensity of hydrocarbon extraction, energy conversion, and their uses are also sought. Proposals involving energy storage from the scale of wearable devices to power plants and energy conversion are encouraged.
