Energy conference<br />
explores breakthrough technologies<br />
Leading experts in breakthrough<br />
energy technologies<br />
from the United States <strong>and</strong><br />
Europe gathered in London<br />
earlier this year to share<br />
ideas <strong>and</strong> perspectives on<br />
key issues, including hydrocarbon-productiontechniques,<br />
improved efficiency<br />
in transportation, carbonemission<br />
mitigation <strong>and</strong><br />
alternative-energy options.<br />
Story by Thomas L. Torget<br />
The Financial Times Energy<br />
Conference, sponsored by<br />
<strong>ExxonMobil</strong>, explored technology<br />
options that could help<br />
meet increased energy dem<strong>and</strong><br />
in efficient <strong>and</strong> environmentally<br />
responsible ways.<br />
The ideas discussed included<br />
innovative approaches to oils<strong>and</strong>s<br />
production, extended-<br />
reach drilling, wave energy,<br />
advances in batteries (both for<br />
vehicles <strong>and</strong> for storing energy<br />
produced by hydro or wind<br />
power), hydrogen-powered<br />
cars, thin-film solar cells <strong>and</strong><br />
advanced biofuels.<br />
Attended by more than 100<br />
specialists in the field of energy<br />
technologies, the conference<br />
provided participants with the<br />
opportunity to question the<br />
experts, exchange ideas <strong>and</strong><br />
network with peers.<br />
Debates concentrated on four<br />
topics: new techniques that offer<br />
innovative approaches to find,<br />
produce <strong>and</strong> deliver hydrocarbon<br />
reserves; technological innovations<br />
that allow industries to use<br />
energy more efficiently; advancements<br />
in the large-scale reduction,<br />
removal <strong>and</strong> storage of carbon<br />
dioxide; <strong>and</strong> developments<br />
During his panel presentation,<br />
<strong>ExxonMobil</strong>’s Nazeer<br />
Bhore (second from left)<br />
discussed a number of<br />
promising technologies to<br />
increase vehicle efficiency<br />
<strong>and</strong> lower emissions.
