2021 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry - Virtual Conference
ACEEE (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy) will host its biennial Summer Study in Industry virtually. The theme for the 2021 biennial Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Industry will be “Decarbonizing Industry.” With industry accounting for more than one-fourth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, its decarbonization is more important than ever, and energy efficiency is a critical path forward. Reducing industrial emissions will not only help address climate change but also create clean energy jobs, protect public health, and ensure market competitiveness.
Explore an exciting mix of topics on low-carbon industrial products, processes, and policies including: smart energy management, manufacturing, electrification, supply chains, the U.S. auto industry, Big Data and smart manufacturing, emerging technologies, workforce development, onsite energy, grid of the future, H2 and low-carbon fuels, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
As well, explore the pollution and employment impacts of manufacturing on environmental justice communities, where factories are disproportionately located, and how decarbonization can help address such inequities.
