Description (excerpt):
This report is the culmination of an effort that began during the planning of the 35th Annual National Solar Energy Conference, SOLAR 2006. The project was the brainchild of Chuck Kutscher, the SOLAR 2006 conference chair. He invited experts to calculate the potential for accelerating the deployment of mature renewable energy technologies and to present their findings at SOLAR 2006. Similarly, Dr. Kutscher recruited experts to report on the potential carbon emission reductions from aggressive energy efficiency measures in industrial processes, transportation, and the built environment.
After the conference, ASES subjected the experts’ papers to a rigorous review process, Dr. Kutscher wrote an overview and summary, and this report is the final result. The six renewable energy technologies presented at the conference and in this report include concentrating solar power, photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, biofuels, and geothermal power.
