Community Energy Lecture Series

Topic:

  • Stranded Renewable Resources in Alaska

When:

  • January 17, 2012 from 6pm to 7:30pm

Where:

Presenters:

  • Brian Hirsch, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
  • Jason Meyer, Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP)

Alaska is home to significant renewable energy resources. Geothermal, wind, tidal, wave, hydro and even solar and biomass resources have the theoretical potential to not only meet the majority of Alaska’s in-state energy needs, but also provide tremendous economic and strategic opportunities for the State and the Nation.

Despite the many opportunities for developing these resources, there are also significant barriers. Foremost among these challenges is the fact that many of Alaska’s renewable energy resources are stranded.


Recordings of former lectures are available on Ustream and iTunes.

Presentations of former lectures are available in our publication database.
