Exploring strategies for a multidimensional, multispeed and multifuel energy transition across the energy value chain
Houston
At CERAWeek, the Department of Energy (DOE) and representatives from its national laboratories will share information about how, together, they’re delivering on the promise of a clean energy transition that renews our nation’s infrastructure, rebuilds domestic manufacturing, creates millions of good-paying jobs, and increases American competitiveness.
Speaker: Steven Ashby, PNNL Laboratory Director
Time: 9:30–10:10 A.M. CT
An overview of Department of Energy's (DOE) early- to mid-stage research and development activities. Panelists include Vanessa Chan, Director of DOE's Office of Technology Transitions, and Jeff Marootian, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of DOE's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
Speaker: Jamie Holladay, Research Line Manager
Time: 12:30–1:15 P.M. CT
Panelists include Campbell Howe, Senior Advisor of DOE's Loan Programs Office; Maressa Brennan, Portfolio Strategy Team Member, DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations; and Suresh Vasen, Senior Advisor of DOE's Loan Programs Office.
Speaker: Steven Ashby, PNNL Laboratory Director
Time: 4:30–5:10 P.M. CT
Steve Ashby is a panelist in a discussion focused on the role of national laboratories in accelerating the energy transition. The session, moderated by Atul Arya of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will also include senior leaders from other national laboratories including John Wagner of Idaho National Laboratory, Doug Arent of National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Paul Kearns of Argonne National Laboratory, and Erin Searcy of Idaho National Laboratory.
In the Department of Energy (DOE) Accelerator Room, DOE is showcasing how it helps innovators build the technology that is unlocking the clean energy transition, with specific national laboratory contributions in these technology areas on display: geothermal, hydrogen, carbon management, industrial decarbonization, and critical minerals.
PNNL’s solid oxide electrolyzer cells, which offer the ability to efficiently generate hydrogen from water without platinum, palladium, nafion, or other expensive materials, will be on display.
PNNL leads four areas of research, development, and innovation to advance hydrogen and fuel cells:
