SUMMARY:West Stage | Atrium Deep Dives
DESCRIPTION:10:30 – 10:55AM \nFactors for Driving Hydrogen Deployment and Success\nClean hydrogen can reduce U.S. carbon emissions by up to 10% by 2050 as reported by the Department of Energy Liftoff Reports\, particularly in sectors without other cost-effective decarbonization options\, such as ammonia production and heavy-duty transport. Over the last year\, total announced clean hydrogen production capacity has increased roughly 26% to 14 million metric tons per annum (MMTpa); at the same time\, developers now face higher costs associated with electrolyzer installation\, clean electricity and financing\, in addition to plant design adjustments needed to meet the requirements to qualify for 45V as proposed in the December 2023 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). This panel will discuss the future development of clean hydrogen technologies in this environment and the factors that need to be considered in building successful hydrogen uplift and deployment. \nSpeakers\n\nFrank Wolak\, President & CEO\, Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association\nVal Miftakhov\, Founder & CEO\, ZeroAvia \n\n\n11:00 – 11:25AM \nFinancing and Powering Data Centers\nU.S. electricity demand is projected to grow significantly in the next decade\, largely driven by data center expansion and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that data centers could grow to consume up to 9% of U.S. electricity generation annually by 2030. Data centers are competing to procure sufficient electricity to meet their needs and sustainability goals while utilities are working to supply reliable electricity to its customers. The panel will explore the potential opportunities with artificial intelligence driving this demand\, the challenges faced by data centers in securing sufficient power\, and some ideas that are emerging to address these issues. \nSpeakers\n\nMay Jaramillo\, Managing Director and Head of Energy Transition & Climate Tech\, Wells Fargo & Company\nMike Kramer\, VP of Data Economy Strategy\, Constellation Energy\nNat Sahlstrom\, Chief Energy Officer\, Tract\nTom Hucker\, Senior Consultant\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy\nSara Axelrod\, Head of External Affairs\, Crusoe \n\n\n11:30 – 11:55AM \nEnabling Small Modular Reactor Liftoff\nA widespread surge in electricity demand after decades of stasis has increased the need for and interest in nuclear. Much of this load growth is being driven by artificial intelligence and data centers with a particular need for carbon-free 24/7 generation concentrated in a limited footprint. Even if SMRs may be more expensive than large reactors as measured by $/MW and $/MWh\, they offer advantages for certain applications. For example\, since SMRs are small and flexible\, they can be deployed widely and built quickly on-site at an existing data center campus and can be scaled to meet a data center’s evolving demands. This panel will explore the potential opportunities and challenges in deploying SMRs at scale to meet clean\, firm power needs\, especially for data centers. \nSpeakers\n\nRick Springman\, President\, Global Clean Energy Opportunities Division\, Holtec\nGlenn Davis\, Director\, Virginia Department of Energy\nDr. Rian Bahran\, Assistant Director for Nuclear Technology and Strategy\, The White House Office of Science & Technology Policy\nMinwoo Han\, Senior Engineer\, New Energy\, Hyundai E&C

SUMMARY:West Stage | Atrium Deep Dives
DESCRIPTION:5:30 – 5:55PM \nOptimizing the Nuclear Capital Stack\nNuclear energy is coming up more and more frequently in conversations across Wall Street. As new types of investors look to gain exposure to nuclear energy and new business models emerge for developing and deploying these power plants\, the question of how the next generation of nuclear plants will be capitalized has been thrust into focus. This session will examine the current interest in new nuclear from the financial sector\, what may drive future investment\, and the changing role of private capital in nuclear financing. \n\nSpeakers\nBenton Arnett\, Senior Director\, Markets and Policy\, Nuclear Energy Institute\nIsaac Sine\, Managing Director\, Public Finance Banking\, JPMC\nJulie Kozeracki\, Strategy Director\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy\nChad Cramer\, Associate Partner\, McKinsey & Company \n\n\n6:00 – 6:25PM \nHarnessing Carbon and Energy Markets to Accelerate BECCS Deployment\nBioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is the only carbon dioxide removal approach that can also provide energy. It currently accounts for 2Mt of biogenic CO2 capture per year\, with projections to scale to 60Mt by 2030 based on projects currently in early or advanced stages of deployment. Despite its unique offering to remove carbon while providing clean base load power\, BECCS projects face challenges in deploying at scale. This session will convene perspectives across BECCS suppliers\, carbon credit buyers\, and project investors to discuss the critical role BECCS can play at the intersection of carbon markets and power markets. \n\nSpeakers\nRoss McKenzie\, Chief of Staff and SVP Corporate Affairs and Business Development\, Elimini\nCindy Jia\, Head of Sustainable Finance – Americas\, ING\nDr. Jane Flegal\, Market Development & Policy Lead\, Stripe Climate and Frontier\nNoah Deich\, Senior Advisor\, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n6:30 – 6:55PM \nSAF Financing & the Role of Supportive Policy\nSustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is the only viable near-term solution to meaningfully decarbonize the aviation sector. The recently published Pathway to Commerical Liftoff Report on SAF determined that there are three key pillars to achieving liftoff: supply with 8-12 commercially operational production facilities\, demand with normalized 10+ year offtake agreements\, and supportive\, robust supply and demand side policy in the US and abroad. This panel session will cover the present and potential future impacts of SAF policies across the value chain. Expert panelists representing stakeholders from SAF production to procurement to offtake will speak to the impacts of SAF policy and provide their view on the best path forward to accelerate SAF deployment at scale. \n\nSpeakers\nLeke Egiri\, EVP\, Gevo\nAdam Penque\, VP Business Development\nPhilip Moore\, Senior Federal Affairs Director\, Southwest Airlines\nSeabron Adamson\, VP of Energy\, Charles River & Associates\nCampbell Howe\, Senior Advisor\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy

SUMMARY:Shoring up Demand for Clean Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen\, like many other clean energy markets\, faces a supply-demand stalemate. High costs and uncertain supply scare away buyers. Producers struggle to obtain financing as a result. And stalled out development means that costs remain high\, supply remains uncertain and markets don’t mature. Governments and private actors have long recognized this issue and are standing up programs aimed at tackling them\, such as the DOE’s $8B investment into clean hydrogen hubs and demand side assistance. \nCome hear from experts across the hydrogen spectrum to explore: \n\nHow are public and private actors shoring up demand for clean hydrogen?\nWhat are the implications for the clean energy transision more broadly of a clean hydrogen economy?\nWhat are the priorities in 2025 to keep clean hydrogen on track for industry scale up?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nColleen Moss\nManaging Director of Industrial Policy and Advocacy\, ClearPath \n\n\n \nAlex Kizer\nSVP and COO\, EFI Foundation \n\n\n \nSusana Moreira\nExecutive Director and Co-Chair\, H2Global Foundation

SUMMARY:Sourcing the Pieces for the T&D Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Where will the components we need to maintain\, repair\, and build out our transmission and distribution systems come from- and will we have enough to keep the lights on and make progress on clean energy deployment? Although a robust and resilient grid is critical for maintaining a thriving energy sector\, it has often been taken for granted\, and its maintenance and repair has often been deferred. At the same time as the United States returns to a period of substantial demand growth\, we are also facing substantial grid replacement and upgrades needs to replace aging infrastructure and harden transmission and distribution against increasingly frequent and severe climate risks. Supply chain constraints have been a choke point for deploying new transmission & distribution\, and for repairing or replacing existing systems. \nJoin this session to explore: \n\nWhat is behind these bottlenecks? Supply chain delays\, market volatility for raw materials\, limited and highly concentrated US supplier capacity\, labor availability\, limited investment in production capacity\, or all of the above?\nWhat steps are the DOE\, utilities and other private sector leaders taking to address these challenges?\nWhat is it going to take to fully unlock grid supply chains?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTricia Breeger\nPresident & CEO\, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products\, Inc. \n\n\n \nJustin Badlam\nSenior Advisor for Strategy and Industrial Policy\, Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nStephanie Crawford\nRegulatory Affairs Director\, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Karen Wayland\nCEO\, GridWise Alliance \n\n\n \nMichael Skelly\nFounder and CEO\, Grid United
