PALM SPRINGS, CA — (Marketwire) — 11/19/12 — The , presented by and chaired by — Ira Ehrenpreis, taking place February 6-7 in Palm Springs, California, announced today that attendees of the conference will have the rare opportunity to hear from two luminaries in the energy industry — the current Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Chevron John W. McDonald and former Chevron Chief Technology Officer Donald Paul.
The two CTOs will participate in a keynote conversation titled, “The Power of Human Energy: Finding Newer, Cleaner Ways to Power the World,” offering a lively view of an energy company–s roadmap to and through the 21st century with an eye towards the integration of new technology, new infrastructure and needed intelligence for the modern electrical grid.
Issues discussed to include:
How does a major energy company address the needs for upgrading infrastructure while incorporating the latest intelligence platforms?
How will that be translated into costs or savings in both energy and economics to the consumer?
In a world dominated by headlines of domestic energy finds (natural gas and oil) how do the energy companies reflect those assets in their long term planning, as well as in any short term economics?
Do renewables continue to accelerate as a percentage of the overall energy mix and how do Chevron and major energy companies plan on participating in that mix of energy feedstocks?
