What Are Chemical Engineers doing About Energy?

“Energy Steward” – AICHE Energy Survey Results

Bond Calloway, Vice Chair Research & New Technology Committee

CTOC/NED Past ChairSavannah River National Laboratory

1st Gulf War-Example 1991 –How Quickly did this Picture Fade

from our Minds?

RANTC Energy Steward Concept

• “Energy Steward” is a Fair & Foul Weather Promoter of Energy Initiatives within the Institute – Waves Energy Flag When Prices Are High or Low

• Promotes AICHE Missions/Objectives through Additional & More Unified Energy Programming

• Facilitates Partnerships Among Divisionswithin AICHE who Are Interest in Energy Programming

• Advertises & Seeks to Unite Divisions Through Publication of Energy Information

• Current Focus– Energy Survey-Gaps Analysis – Phase

I– Collect Programming Content for Web– Virtual Topical

Energy

Hugh Roy Cullen – Discovered “Tom O’Conner” Field in South Texas in 1932

Future Plans

• Consider Article in CEP – More Data than Can be Presented Here

• Email Distribution Lists – Focus on Weaker Programming Areas– Unconventional Oil?– Solar?– Biofuels – Coordinate with Existing Topicals?

• Update Survey to Reflect Lessons Learned During Analysis-Annual 08

• Implement Virtual Topicals for Carbon Topics• Capture Energy Presentations• Coordinate with Existing AICHE Energy Task Team

Comments?

Comments & Opening For Working Session I

• Working Session I – Should AICHE Consider a Institutionalizing Energy? Perhaps as a technical Society or Should AICHE Energy Programming continue as is or some hybrid structure; Should RANTC continue to play a role in highlighting Energy programming? Or should this role be incorporated into existing efforts?

• Group 1 - Should AICHE Consider a Institutionalizing Energy? • Group 2 - Should AICHE Energy Programming continue as is or

some hybrid structure

• Both Groups: Should RANTC continue to play a role in highlighting Energy programming? Or should this role be incorporated into existing efforts?

• Expected Output: Pro/Cons of Each Group Forwarded to AICHE Energy Task Team

Working Session II

• What Should AICHE RANTC’s New Technology Focus be for 2008/2009

• Working Group I – List New Technology Topics and Two Champions for RANTC to Pursue

• Working Group II – Define RANTC’s Future Objectives for 2008/09?

Energy Policy is Set in Time of Need-Not Before Needed

• Gasoline Prices Trend Energy Policy Wanted

Energy Policy Needed

Gasoline Prices Change Very Fast – Interest in Energy Declines When Price is Low

“Energy Steward” - Promotes AICHE Missions/Objectives

• advance the development and exchange of knowledge

• stimulate collaborative efforts among industry, universities, government, and professional societies

• encourage other engineering and scientific professionals to participate in AIChE activities;

• advocate public policy that embraces sound technical and economic information and that represents the interest of chemical engineers

• facilitate public understanding of technical issues

• the Global Leader of the chemical Engineering profession,

• the Lifetime Center for professional & personal growth, and security of chemical engineers,

• the Foremost Catalystin applying chemical engineering expertise in meeting societal needs.

How the “Energy Steward” Concept Maps to AICHE Goals

Short List of Mission Statements

Energy Covers All Aspects of AICHE Vision/Mission – But Volunteers Are Limited – Where Should we Focus Our Energies?

Additional & More Unified Energy Programming

• Highlight Energy Related Programming by All Divisions in Meeting Publications

• Coordinate Virtual Topical (e.g. Hydrogen, Coal covered by so Many Divisions- Single Topical Difficult) – Need to Advertise All

• Could Setup Confex to Sort Papers by Subject Area (e.g. Energy, Hydrogen, Energy Efficiency, Oil, Gas, Coal, Renewable).

• Programs Could (Will) be Printed Highlighting (Consider Color Highlighting) Subjects Areas in Energy

Facilitates Partnerships Amongst Divisions/Forums within AICHE who Are

Interest in Energy Programming• Advertises Divisions/Forums Energy

Related Sessions to Others –• Keyword System in Confex Could help

Identify Relevant and Related Sessions

Advertises & Seeks to Unite Divisions Through Publication of Energy

Information• Energy Related Papers Could be Identified by Keyword

and Could be Sorted and Search for Easy Access• Is AICHE Missing Publication Opportunity?• Hundreds of Presentations on Hydrogen Alone were

Presented at Last Annual Meeting• Each Presentation Could be Captured by Keyword –

Energy Related Papers could be sold as a group or single by downloading – Shouldn’t we consider the IPOD Publication Model? – Pay by the Song?

• Ex. NED Captures and Posts all Presentations for Free –Web Site is becoming a resource for our industry

Further Initiatives• Implement Capturing

Presentations from Conference and Storing on Web – Make Energy Content Available to Members

• Continue to Refine Energy Survey/Virtual Topical Concept to Suit Members Needs

• New Item: Joined Energy Leadership Task Force Team –Task Team Member for National Programming Team– Develop Partnering

Arrangements with other Energy Conferences

Continue to Work with Institute’s Energy Task Force to Highlightand Promote Energy Related Programming

IPOD Model – Buy Only Content that You Desire-Electronic PowerPoint Files Represent a Huge Resource of Information for Our Members

National Meeting Programming AICHE Energy Team

• Partnership with RANTC Energy Steward Initiative• Objectives

– Focus energy programming to be more effective– Facilitate partnerships among Divisions and Groups on

energy; unite segmented activities– Enhance advertising, publicity, and participation (gatherings,

virtual meetings, web communications)• Actions

– Energy survey / gaps analysis (Annual 07)– Collect programming content for web site– Virtual topical (Annual 08)– Establish web access to presentations (“IPOD model”)– Partner with other energy conferences

Further Discussion

• What else could we be doing to Highlight Energy Topics?
