Pacific Coast Clean Energy
Research and Development Forum
November 2007
The Pacific Coast Clean Energy R&D Forum, held November 28 & 29, 2007 at the Portland Hilton, showcased innovation in energy-related research and development with a focus on successful partnerships, cross-border collaborations, and the efforts of researchers and businesses on the Pacific Coast to harness the region’s energy potential through sustainable practices and technology.
A group of highly-qualified speakers and attendees from a wide range of organizations came together to examine innovative excellence in efficiency, conservation, technology and commercialization, while, at the same time, discussing potential partnerships, policy issues and the way forward.
Below are speaker presentations along with a forum agenda. Thank you to all forum participants for your important contribution in making this event a success.
