UT Energy Week 2022

Leveraging Our Strengths, Focusing on the Future

Tuesday, March 1

9:00 – 9:15

Welcome and Introduction

9:15 – 12:30

Fueling a Sustainable Energy Transition (FSET) Research Showcase – Session 1

In 2019, the UT Austin Energy Institute launched a two-year research initiative comprised of twelve competitively-selected interdisciplinary research teams. The initiative, known as Fueling a Sustainable Energy Transition (FSET), has produced dozens of peer-reviewed articles, commercial IPs (e.g., patents, licenses), and follow-on funding awards across research topics including carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), sustainable battery technologies and decarbonization of rare earth minerals; electricity infrastructure resiliency; methane gas leak sensing; and more. As FSET reaches its final months, principal investigators from each research teams will present an overview of their projects’ findings.

UT Energy Symposium – The Future of Energy

View the recording on YouTube • Click to view PDF slides

Today’s global energy markets are being shaped by two primary forces: macroeconomic factors driving a future rise in world energy demand and global efforts to lower emissions. Affordable, reliable, and ever-clear energy is essential to human progress. Balancing these dynamics will be critical to the future of energy markets. At Chevron, we believe the future of energy is lower carbon and are committed to leveraging our strengths to deliver lower carbon energy to a growing world.

Panel 1: Emergence of the Energy Innovation Ecosystem in Austin, Texas • View the recording on YouTube

While Austin has been a growing tech hub for well more than a half century, recently there has been more recognition of the region as an energy innovation center. What are the ingredients that have made the region even more attractive in fostering its innovation ecosystem?

Panel 2: Critical Minerals Supply Chain: Addressing an Energy Transition Bottleneck • View the recording on YouTube

Critical minerals (CMs), including the rare earth elements (REEs) and lithium (Li) are essential materials to technologies and electronics that underpin energy decarbonization, the environment, health, and national security. REEs/CMs-based products are susceptible to both supply shortages and dependence on foreign exports. During this session, panelists working on the leading edge of REE/CM recovery will discuss alternative mineral resources, novel approaches for their recovery, making them more widely available and less sensitive to supply chain disruptions, and decarbonizing the supply chain from end-to-end.
