Announcement on 29th July

• New Purdue center to energize the future thanks
  to Lilly Endowment, Lugar
• WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Purdue University
  announced today (July 29) the creation of a new
  Energy Center, which already has been designated
  to share 85 million in federal funding with
  centers in Illinois and Kentucky.

Climate Change
From Hoffert

• Global temperatures have increased by 1.5 K in
  just the last 150 years.
• Weather changes threaten loss of polar ice,
  rising sea levels, unpredictable rain falls, crop
  failures, and loss of many species
• Energy solutions must account for global warming

5
Transforming Global Energy Resources
Oil supply is going down. Global warming is a
problem. Which resource will be transformed?
2004
14.5 Terawatts 220 MBOE/day
?
2050
30 -- 60 Terawatts 450 900 MBOE/day

Discovery 1 Socio Economic and Policy

• Social, Economic, and Political Aspects of Energy
  Use and Policy
• Kathy Banks, Tim Cason, Shailendra Mehta, Glenn
  Parker, Wallace Tyner and Duane Wegener
• Life Cycle Analysis, Life Cycle Inventory, Life
  Cycle Assessment, Cradle to Grave Analysis,
  Eco-Balancing, and Material Flow Analysis

Discovery 2 Fossil Fuels and Clean Coal

• Ron Rardin, Tom Sparrow, Nick Delgass, Bob Lucht,
  Doug Gotham, Brian Bowen, Tim Cason, NEW HIRE
• Indiana mines over 35 million tons of coal a
  year, or about 3.5 of total U.S. coal
  production. The reserve base for the entire
  Illinois basin deposits, of which Indiana coal is
  a part, amounts to over 130 billion tons or 25
  of total demonstrated coal reserves in the United
  States enough to meet current U.S. coal demands
  for over 100 years.

Discovery 3 Bio Energy

• Mike Ladisch, Nancy Ho, John Morgan, Miroslav
  Sedlak, Robin Ridgway, other members of LORRE, ?
• Clean fuels from corn and soybean waste products-
  goal is not fuel from food but fuel and food.
• Purdue has patented and licensed the best yeast
  strain for conversion of corn waste to ethanol.

11
Discovery 4 High Efficiency Wind Turbines

• Sandy Fleeter, Pat Lawless
• Purdue has a long reputation in rotating
  machinery unsteady aerodynamics
• First time application to the development of high
  efficiency wind turbines- currently competitive
  in some parts of the world, short term impact.

12
Discovery 5 Advanced Electrochemical Systems

• K. Banks, K. S. Choi, Hugh Hillhouse, John
  Morgan, and Dan Raftery, NEW HIRE
• Batteries are one of the key technologies to the
  transformation of energy resources
• Fuel cells need to be researched as well
• Delphi Lithium wa(i)s an Indiana company

13
Discovery 6 Electric Machines and Power
Electronics

• Steve Pekarek, Oleg Wasynczuk, Scott Sudhoff, and
  Paul Krause
• Another key technology to the transformation of
  energy resources
• Another Purdue strength

14
Discovery 7 Hydrogen Economy

• Herbert C. Brown (deceased), Jerry Woodall, P. V.
  Ramachandran, Tim Fisher, Alex King, Nick
  Delgass, Abu Omar, Arvind Varma, Shailendra
  Mehta, Shripad Revankar, Kyuyong Choi
• Significant Intellectual Property portfolio
• GM has rated us one of the top 3 groups in
  hydrogen economy in the world only after 3 years
  of starting a seed project with support from the
  Dean of Engineering

15
Discovery 8 Nuclear Energy

• Mamouro Ishii, Lefteri Tsoukalas, Rusi
  Taleyarkhan, Tom Downar, Yeong Kim, Dave Koltick,
  
• Breakthrough controversial discovery in fusion
  but rapidly gaining acceptance
• Thermohydraulic Safety code used by the Nuclear
  Regulatory commission

16
Discovery 9 Solar Energy

• R. Agrawal, J. Gray, H. Hillhouse, M. Melloch, R.
  Schwartz and J. Woodall
• Low cost solar cell development with new
  nanotechnology processes
• High efficiency solar with multiple junctions
  cells (DARPA funding already?)
• Storage with aluminum dissolved in gallium

17
External Funding

• 40 companies have endorsed the Center
• New Energy Policy passed by Congress and about to
  be signed at the White House has many new
  programs including programs for University
  Research
• Thought leaders are calling for a 10B to 20B
  investment
• Often called the new post-Sputnik opportunity for
  attracting students to Science and Technology

18
Educational Activities

• George Bodner, Leah Jamieson, Heather Cooper, DLC
• K-12, 2 year, all colleges, citizens, and global
  community education
• School of Technology will play a major role

19
Commercialization and Engagement

• 40 corporations and growing
• Patent portfolio development and small business
  launch
• Energy investors are very active

20
Collaborations

• Birck Nanotechnology Center Nano-structured
  membranes, electrodes, and solar cells
• Bindley Biosciences Center Bio-fuels,
  Bio-mimetic solar cells, and enzyme mediated
  assembly
• Center for Advanced Manufacturing Low cost
  manufacturing of devices such as solar cells
• E-enterprises Center Discovery Informatics for
  catalysts, reaction rates and properties
• Purdue Homeland Security Institute Energy policy
  and its relation to world perceptions
• Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurship Center
  Entrepreneurship on the basis of ECP inventions
• Discovery Learning Center ECP educational and
  educational outreach programs
• Proposed Purdue Institute for the Environment
  Energy and environmental economies are tied
• Physical Facilities as a Living Laboratory
  Energy efficiency can reduce Purdues own bills.
  In addition getting the Physical Facilities staff
  excited about Discovery Park has many benefits.
• Purdue Transportation Fleet as a Demonstration
  Vehicle Key opportunity for publicity and
  transportation cost savings.
• Invention and Innovation powered Indiana Energy
  Industry We expect many patents and other
  intellectual property will be generated by ECP.
  These will be available to the industrial
  partners and others. The strong support from
  industry that has already built as can be seen
  from the support letters can transfer into a
  truly innovation powered Indiana energy economy.
