世界最大のエネルギー関連のオンラインカンファレンスと銘打って、Virtual Energy Forumが開くインターネット講演会にソフトエネルギー・パスなどの著書で知られるRMIのエイモリー・ロビンズ氏が登場するということです。開始時間は、ボストン6/24 AM9:00から、サマータイムで日本から見て-13ということですから、日本時間6/24 PM22:00から公開されると思います。
" Dr. Len Sauers of Procter & Gamble, Allan Schurr of IBM and Leaders from Leading Universities Harvard, Brown, UC San Diego Confirmed to Speak at World's Largest Online Energy Conference
The Virtual Energy Forum (http://www.VirtualEnergyForum.com), the world's largest online conference dedicated to renewable energy, sustainability and energy-efficient practices in business, today announced additional confirmed speakers for its upcoming free event scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday June 24th and 25th. Noted speakers now include Dr.Len Sauers, Vice President for Global Sustainability at Procter & Gamble, who also leads the company's overall sustainability efforts. Mr. Sauers leads the Fortune 500 company's overall sustainability efforts and will discuss a chain system of innovation; from manufacturing, through distribution, to disposal, that has allowed Procter & Gamble to be successful in its sustainability efforts. In addition, Allan Schurr, Vice President, Strategy and Development IBM Global Energy and Utilities, will explain the great opportunity and advantage that comes from investing in smart grid technology.

" China’s largest electric transmission company has announced an ambitious plan to develop a national smart grid by 2020 that would help utilities and their customers transport and use energy more efficiently. "
" New Energy Technologies, Inc. (Symbol: NENE), today announced that, in addition to the active development of its MotionPower™ technologies for generating electricity by harvesting the kinetic energy of moving vehicles, the Company is continuing to further advance the development of its tinted transparent glass SolarWindows™ capable of generating electricity by coating glass surfaces with the world’s smallest known organic solar cells.
New Energy’s SolarWindow™ technology uses an organic solar array, which achieves transparency through the creative use of conducting polymers which have the same desirable electrical properties as the world’s most commercially popular semiconductor, silicon, yet boast a considerably better capacity to ‘optically absorb’ photons from light and generate electricity.
The Company’s ultra-small solar cells measure less than ¼ the size of a grain of rice, are fabricated using environmentally-friendly hydrogen-carbon based materials, and successfully produce electricity, as demonstrated in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.

Ultra-Small Solar Cells: Generating Electricity on Transparent Glass
New Energy’s SolarWindow™ technology makes use of ultra-small solar cells which allows for the fabrication of solar arrays on a broad range of substrate materials such as glass, plastic, and even paper. Made of natural polymers which can be dissolved into liquid for easy application, these ultra-small solar cells do not require expensive and complicated high-temperature or high-vacuum production techniques common to other solar coatings.
