  • Wednesday: fuels/chemicals from natural gas and coal, water, new materials, and monitoring and assessment
  • Thursday: renewables, storage, efficiency, and clean coal

IHS CERA delegates are also invited to meet current and past pioneers at Tuesday evening’s Pioneers Reception (held adjacent to the main cocktail hour prior to dinner) and Wednesday evening’s discussion dinner on Innovation in a Multi-Speed World. Moderated by IHS CERA Director Judson Jacobs, the dinner will feature an interactive conversation on new models for energy innovation and will include remarks from prominent executives and thought leaders.

IHS CERA thanks Chevron for its partnership support of the Energy Innovation Pioneers Program.

The Energy Innovation Pioneer Alumni have achieved remarkable successes. We congratulate the firms represented at CERAWeek 2012.
