SUMMARY:Disruptive technologies in the transition to renewable energy:
  The future of energy production and storage\, Chaos & Complex Systems
  Seminar\, Michael Winokur\, UW Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:Many forms of renewable energy are based on mature technol
 ogies (e.g. single layer solar cells\, wind\, hydro) and while now eco
 nomically competitive there are clear limitations for each.  This talk
  will focus on a number of complimentary developing technologies that\
 , if successful\, will both reduce and/or displace the consumption of 
 fossil fuels and thereby accelerate the transition to an energy portfo
 lio centered around renewable energy.  Specific examples include super
 critical CO2 turbines\, hydrogen production and tandem solar cells.   
 Novel energy storage systems\, such as those based on chemical redox r
 eactions and solid state chemistry\, will also be discussed. <br>
