Special Symposium

This special symposium focuses on advanced and emerging technologies for improving the production of energy using oil, gas, nuclear and traditional energy sources. Novel nanostructured and advanced materials are leading to improved processes for oil, gas and coal extraction, refinement, and power generation, along with overall footprint reduction from extraction to use. New materials development is critical for next-generation fission and fusion energy systems. This program is focused on revolutionary and commercially viable research and development efforts. The attending corporate community is looking to identify global top technologies for co-development and pilot consideration. Please join the leading global technology innovators and integrators in providing new nano and clean technology solutions to the world's energy leadership.
