SUMMARY:Seminar - Geologic H2: A New Primary Energy Source for the Transition to Clean Energy?
DESCRIPTION:The Rutgers School of Engineering’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering invites you to join them for their upcoming seminar “Geologic H2: A New Primary Energy Source for the Transition to Clean Energy?” with special guest Dr. Douglas Wicks\, Program Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). \nThe seminar will be held on Tuesday\, September 17 at 12:00 to 1:20pm at the McLaren Center for Ceramic Research\, 607 Taylor Road\, Room 201\, Piscataway\, NJ 08854. \n \nDr. Douglas Wicks\nProgram Director\nAdvanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) \nAbstract\nHydrogen is viewed by many as a key component of the transition to clean carbon-free energy. The International Energy Agency forecasts that 520 million tons hydrogen from natural gas + carbon capture (so-called “Blue Hydrogen”) and the electrolysis of water (“Green Hydrogen”) will be needed by 2050 to attain climate targets. This represents a > 5-fold increase from current hydrogen production and use. Both routes have significant challenges – blue hydrogen will have fugitive methane releases and need to store gigatons of CO2\, green hydrogen requires large expenditures for renewable energy and critical minerals. \nMeanwhile\, beneath our feet\, the earth has been continuously generating hydrogen and for the most part mankind did not pay attention to what was right in front of us. This hydrogen is continuously formed by known chemical reactions in the subsurface\, sometimes accumulating into reservoirs\, sometimes being consumed by parasitic reactions and sometimes seeping into the atmosphere. The chemical potential to form hydrogen is huge\, theorized to be in the trillions of tons. Economically harnessing the chemical potential of the earth could be transformational to the US and global economies. \nBiography\nDr. Douglas Wicks currently serves as a Program Director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA‑E). His focus at ARPA-E is on waste-to-energy technologies. Dr. Wicks joins ARPA-E from Imerys\, a French industrial minerals production and processing company\, where he was most recently the Director of Transformational and External Innovation. At Imerys\, he developed an innovation network comprised of academic\, contract research organizations\, start-ups and strategic partners. Before joining Imerys\, Dr. Wicks worked in a variety of roles at several start-up companies focused on innovative materials. Dr. Wicks began his career at Bayer Corporation\, where he ultimately became Vice President of Research for the Coatings and Colorants division. Dr. Wicks earned a B.S. in Chemistry from North Dakota State University and a Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Srishti Kaul Narula at srishti.kaul@rutgers.edu

SUMMARY:NJBPU Virtual Stakeholder Meeting - Fourth OSW Solicitation
DESCRIPTION:STAKEHOLDER MEETING \nDATE: March 20\, 2024 \nTIME: 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nLOCATION: Zoom Virtual Webinar \nREGISTER (you must register by March 17): https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_x2XnuGEgQLyQOkSvLCelvA \n  \nSolicitation sought a desired OSW capacity target of 1\,200 MW to 4\,000 MW. By two (2) Board Orders\, each dated January 24\, 2024\, the Board awarded two (2) of New Jersey’s largest OSW\nprojects to date\, the 1\,342 MW Attentive Energy Two project and the 2\,400 MW Leading Light Wind project. The Board awarded these projects the full SAA capability of the Larrabee Tri-Collector solution. \nOn October 25\, 2023\, the Board rejected the Prebuild Infrastructure (“PBI”) proposals that were submitted as part of the Third Solicitation\, finding that the PBI being awarded to a developer who also receives an award as a Qualified Offshore Wind Project represented an unreasonable risk to New Jersey ratepayers and directed Board staff to develop a separate PBI solicitation. \nOn November 17\, 2023\, the Board issued a PBI Solicitation and the Prebuild Solicitation Guidance Document in which it “explained that the Prebuild envisioned a single construction effort to install the necessary Duct Banks and associated access Cable Vaults to house transmission Conduits for future use of up to four (4) OSW Qualified Projects\, thereby enabling these projects\nto access the wholesale transmission system.” Any project awarded through the PBI Solicitation will be submitted to PJM for incorporation into PJM’s regional transmission expansion plan\n(“RTEP”)\, and will also be submitted for cost recovery through the cost allocation provisions for Public Policy Projects\, approved by FERC. The Prebuild Solicitation Application Submission\nDeadline is April 3\, 2024\, and an award is expected in Q3 2024. \nThe stakeholder meeting for the Fourth Solicitation will be held at the following date and time\, and in the following manner:\nPlease note that the meeting will be conducted virtually. You must register before attending \nthe meeting at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled date. Stakeholders and members of the public may participate after registering by utilizing the link or dial-in information set forth above\nand may express their views. In order to encourage full participation\, please submit any requests for needed accommodations\, such as interpreters and/or listening assistance\, at least\n48 hours prior to the above meeting date to the Secretary of the Board at board.secretary@bpu.nj.gov. \nIf you wish to reserve a speaking opportunity\, please designate this during the online registration process. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting and information about checking your system requirements in advance of the meeting. Please check your access devices in advance of the meeting to ensure that they will properly connect. \nQuestions on this stakeholder process may be directed to Kira Lawrence at kira.lawrence@bpu.nj.gov. \nFor more information\, please click here to view the public notice.

SUMMARY:Business Opportunities: New York & New Jersey Offshore Wind Supplier Forum
DESCRIPTION:BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES: NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY OFFSHORE WIND SUPPLIER FORUM \nThursday\, January 11\, 2024    8:00 am to 5:00 pm \nMarriott at the Brooklyn Bridge\, 333 Adams Street\, New York\, NY 11201 \n  \nWith nine (9) active projects in development off the coasts\, totaling more than 9\,800 megawatts\, New York and New Jersey are leading the nation to build a domestic supply chain and the workforce the offshore wind industry will need. Both states have ambitious but achievable commitments to decarbonization and are making significant investments in the development of critical assets like ports\, primary components and training programs. This year’s forum will focus on the current state of the offshore wind sector. Attendees will gain valuable insight into New York and New Jersey’s programs and hear from U.S. companies successfully navigating the market and delivering services and products to offshore wind projects and onshore infrastructure assets. Attendees will also hear from experts as to the macro-economic conditions that have caused disruption to projects in the U.S. and around the globe. Additionally\, suppliers will have the opportunity to engage one-on-one with buyers for these active projects\, as well as with developers with active lease sites in the New York-New Jersey Bight and beyond. \nClick here for more information and to register.
