One 50-Minute Lecture: "Cornell and the Energy Landscape in the Age of Sustainability"

Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 1:00pm to 1:50pm

Hector "Tito" Abruna, E. M. Chamot Professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Director, Energy Materials Center at Cornell; College of Arts and Sciences

PepsiCo Lecture Hall, 305 Ives Hall

Meeting global energy needs in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way is one of the grand challenges of our time. While the use of energy based on fossil fuels has enabled great advances and an increase in the standard of living, it has also brought us to the brink of an environmental catastrophe. As a society, we will need to develop strategies that integrate renewable and sustainable energy sources.  This presentation will deal with global and national energy issues and how ongoing work at Cornell, especially on fuel cells and electrical energy storage technologies (batteries) can provide some potential solutions.
