Professor Franklin M. Orr Jr. har siden 2003 været direktør for Stanford Universitetets Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP), der støttes af industrien med ca. USD 225 mio over 10 år. Det er det første af de meget store privatfinansierede klima/energi-programmer i USA.
Formålet med projektet er at udvikle metoder til renere energiproduktion, og professor Franklin M. Orr Jr. og hans samarbejdspartnere arbejder ihærdigt på at sænke udledningen af drivhusgasser i forbindelse med energiproduktion
Mandag den 5. maj holder han forelæsning i forbindelse med et klima seminaret, ”Technology in the Greenhouse” på DTU. Her vil han tale om de seneste teknologier til at reducere mængden af drivhusgasser.
Ud over at være leder af GCEP arbejder professor Franklin M. Orr Jr. med store projekter ved Princeton, MIT og UC Berkley, og han er en af de absolut førende eksperter i verden inden for klima-teknologier og drivhusgasser.
Seminaret finder sted på DTUs Campus i Lyngby, bygning 308, auditorium nr.13, Richard Petersens Plads, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby. Tilmelding senest mandag den 5. maj kl. 9. på mail: climate@adm.dtu.dk

Open seminar
Technology in the Greenhouse:
Research to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Franklin M. Orr, Jr.
Director of Stanford University’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP)
May 5th 2008 15.00-17.00
DTU Climate Change Technologies are proud to present an open seminar with Franklin M. Orr Jr. as the first of a series of open seminars about energy- and climate changes issues.
Professor Franklin M. Orr Jr. has a long research background in chemical engineering and work together with DTU in the field of technologies for CO2 capture and storage. Since 2002 Professor Orr has been the director of Stanford University Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP).
Professor Orr will present the topic Technology in the Greenhouse: Research to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and will be examining options for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases associated with energy use. Those options include more efficient conversions of primary energy resources as well as conversions that have lower emissions of carbon. Opportunities for research on a portfolio of energy conversion technologies are discussed, and the research challenges associated with carbon capture and storage are reviewed.
