Overall, the conference covers various topics on energy policy issues, and it seemed that a panel on shale gas and another one on renewable energy attracted lots of attentions and interests. It was also much more international and larger than I had expected, and I was able to establish new research connections. Here is the list of interesting presentations given at the conference, and I would recommend you to check if the title and short description stimulate your interests:
- Will Carbon Prices Reduce Emissions in the US Electricity Industry?: a quantitative analysis of a carbon tax's impact on electricity generation fuel mix, particularly on the trade-off between coal and natural gas
- Determining Energy Load Requirements of an Electrified Transportation Sectors in Los Angeles: a quantitative analysis of the potential impacts on LA's electric grid and its associated GHG emissions from mass-scale electric vehicle introduction
- Energy Efficiency Power Purchase Agreements: an introduction and discussion on an innovative energy efficiency incentive mechanism slated for pilot in Oregon and Washington state
- Putting Down a Coal Plant: an overview of coal power plants' status in the US and early retirement drivers and processes
