Energy of the Future: Integrating Advanced Manufacturing and Climate Change Policies

Amidst the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression and escalating trade and security controversies with China and other nations, the need to rebuild the U.S. manufacturing sector and increase its competitiveness has never been greater. At the same time, the threat of climate change will ultimately force this diverse sector to transition to much cleaner production processes. This panel will discuss underappreciated opportunities for bringing clean manufacturing innovation to greater prominence with the goal of shaping the climate and manufacturing policy agenda. Moderator: Andre Sharon, ISE Affiliated Faculty and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University, Executive Director, Fraunhofer USA CMI Panelists: Colin Cunliff, Senior Policy Analyst, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) Henry Kelly, ISE Senior Fellow and Energy Technology Expert Zoe Lipman, Director, Manufacturing and Advanced Transportation, BlueGreen Alliance
