Roger Bedard, Ocean Energy Leader with the Electric Power
Research Institute in Palo Alto (EPRI), will discuss the
practical applications of ocean wave energy and tidal energy.
EPRI has established two North American collaborative programs
to investigate the feasibility of ocean wave and in-stream tidal
energy conversion in North America, which brings together the
resources and knowledge of 10 state agencies, two federal
agencies, 17 electric power utilities, three universities and
more than 30 technology developers.
Guest speaker Joseph Heinzmann with Fuel Cell Energy will also
discuss the environmental and competitive advantages of
utilizing fuel cell energy for commercial purposes. Fuel Cell
Energy develops and markets Ultra-Clean stationary fuel cell
power plants that generate electricity with up to twice the
efficiency of conventional fossil fuel plants – and with
virtually no air pollution.
Group discussion will follow each of the presentations.
