Advances in Conventional Energy Technologies
While alternate energy systems are needed and are being developed for future use, the current and rising need for energy, particularly electric energy, must be met in the immediate future. This symposium will highlight the latest information on fossil fuels and nuclear generation. This includes new generation technologies using clean coal such as IGCC, ultrahigh pressure systems and gasification among others.
