Calendar of Physics Talks Vienna

ENERGY TRENDS & TECHNOLOGIES
Speaker:Steve KOONIN (Chief Scientist of BP, London)
Abstract:The world's demand for energy will grow by some 60% in the next 25 years. Satisfying that demand in an economical and environmentally acceptable manner is one of the most significant challenges facing society. New technologies will play a central role in meeting this challenge, albeit conditioned by the economic, social, and political contexts in which they are developed and deployed. The presentation will focus on the major forces shaping the World's energy future and the technologies required to respond to them.
