EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Stanford Club of Houston is pleased to host Stanford Professor Lynn Orr, '69, director of the Precourt Institute for Energy, who will address "Energy Transformations: at Stanford and for the Planet."
About the talk:
Energy is the life blood of modern societies. Meeting the world's need for stable and secure energy supplies and at the same time reducinggreenhouse gas and other environmental impacts of energy use is one of the key challenges we humans must face in this century.
There is no single solution to this challenge, but there are many opportunities to improve efficiency of energy use, to provide for transportation, electricity, and heating and cooling and at the same time, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2. This talk will examine energy options and challenges for the future and work going on at Stanford to provide more options to meet those challenges.
About Professor Orr:
Lynn Orr, '69, is the Keleen & Carlton Beal Professor in Petroleum Engineering in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering and the director of the Precourt Institute for Energy. He served previously as the Director of the Global Climate and Energy Project and as the Chester Naramore Dean of the School of Earth Sciences. His research activities focus on how fluids flow in the rocks of the Earth's crust, with applications to enhanced oil recovery and geologic storage of CO2.
