Moving the Needle in Industrial Efficiency
This ETCC meeting will convene experts from industry, research centers, utility and government entities working to advance energy effiicency in industrial manufacturing and processing sectors. Featured speakers will unite stakeholder perspectives on topics ranging from innovative energy technologies and systems to advanced energy controls and processes. In the afternoon, a panel of ETCC members will present their respective visions for industrial utility emerging technology (ET) programs, as well facilitate a discussion with participants on challenges and opportunities in accelerating the adoption of energy efficient ETs in the industrial sector.
[OPTIONAL FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDEES] Two tours will be offered for attendees. The morning tour, from 8-9:15 am, will be held at SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA and will focus on advanced electric technologies in the industrial sector. The afternoon tour, from 3-4 pm, will give participants an opportunity to go ‘behind the scenes’ at the Southern California Gas’ Energy Resources Center (ERC). The ERC tour will feature the Boiler Water Heater Demo Lab and a demonstration of Eclipse’s industrial burner technology.
