Why is the University of Delaware hosting this event?
For
nearly four decades, UD has been leading research on solar cells, catalysts
for fuel production, lightweight composites for fuel-efficient vehicles,
and energy and environmental policy. Today, UD is expanding on these
strengths and building new, nationally prominent research programs
across the energy spectrum, including wind power, vehicle-to-grid technology,
hydrogen storage, and other areas. The University
of Delaware Energy Institute (UDEI) &mdash a portal to UD's energy
research, policy, and education activities &mdash launched in 2008.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Energy selected UD to be the home
of a new Energy
Frontier Research Center.
