2Announcement on 29th July
- New Purdue center to energize the future thanks
to Lilly Endowment, Lugar - WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Purdue University
announced today (July 29) the creation of a new
Energy Center, which already has been designated
to share 85 million in federal funding with
centers in Illinois and Kentucky.

4Climate Change
From Hoffert
- Global temperatures have increased by 1.5 K in
just the last 150 years. - Weather changes threaten loss of polar ice,
rising sea levels, unpredictable rain falls, crop
failures, and loss of many species - Energy solutions must account for global warming
5Transforming Global Energy Resources
Oil supply is going down. Global warming is a
problem. Which resource will be transformed?
2004
14.5 Terawatts 220 MBOE/day
?
2050
30 -- 60 Terawatts 450 900 MBOE/day
6Energy Center
- Interim Director Jay P. Goreemail
gore_at_purdue.edu - Managing Director To be hired
- Interim Director for Outreach and Industry
Relations John Schneider - Faculty Leadership Team Rakesh Agrawal, George
Bodner, Heather Cooper, Mike Ladisch, Shailendra
Mehta, Jerry Woodall, Rusi Taleyarkhan, Dan
Raftery, Glenn Parker, Tom Sparrow, and Dick
Schwartz
7Discovery 1 Socio Economic and Policy
- Social, Economic, and Political Aspects of Energy
Use and Policy - Kathy Banks, Tim Cason, Shailendra Mehta, Glenn
Parker, Wallace Tyner and Duane Wegener - Life Cycle Analysis, Life Cycle Inventory, Life
Cycle Assessment, Cradle to Grave Analysis,
Eco-Balancing, and Material Flow Analysis
8Discovery 2 Fossil Fuels and Clean Coal
- Ron Rardin, Tom Sparrow, Nick Delgass, Bob Lucht,
Doug Gotham, Brian Bowen, Tim Cason, NEW HIRE - Indiana mines over 35 million tons of coal a
year, or about 3.5 of total U.S. coal
production. The reserve base for the entire
Illinois basin deposits, of which Indiana coal is
a part, amounts to over 130 billion tons or 25
of total demonstrated coal reserves in the United
States enough to meet current U.S. coal demands
for over 100 years.
9Value Proposition for Coal Transformation
10Discovery 3 Bio Energy
- Mike Ladisch, Nancy Ho, John Morgan, Miroslav
Sedlak, Robin Ridgway, other members of LORRE, ? - Clean fuels from corn and soybean waste products-
goal is not fuel from food but fuel and food. - Purdue has patented and licensed the best yeast
strain for conversion of corn waste to ethanol.
11Discovery 4 High Efficiency Wind Turbines
- Sandy Fleeter, Pat Lawless
- Purdue has a long reputation in rotating
machinery unsteady aerodynamics - First time application to the development of high
efficiency wind turbines- currently competitive
in some parts of the world, short term impact.
12Discovery 5 Advanced Electrochemical Systems
- K. Banks, K. S. Choi, Hugh Hillhouse, John
Morgan, and Dan Raftery, NEW HIRE - Batteries are one of the key technologies to the
transformation of energy resources - Fuel cells need to be researched as well
- Delphi Lithium wa(i)s an Indiana company
13Discovery 6 Electric Machines and Power
Electronics
- Steve Pekarek, Oleg Wasynczuk, Scott Sudhoff, and
Paul Krause - Another key technology to the transformation of
energy resources - Another Purdue strength
14Discovery 7 Hydrogen Economy
- Herbert C. Brown (deceased), Jerry Woodall, P. V.
Ramachandran, Tim Fisher, Alex King, Nick
Delgass, Abu Omar, Arvind Varma, Shailendra
Mehta, Shripad Revankar, Kyuyong Choi - Significant Intellectual Property portfolio
- GM has rated us one of the top 3 groups in
hydrogen economy in the world only after 3 years
of starting a seed project with support from the
Dean of Engineering
15Discovery 8 Nuclear Energy
- Mamouro Ishii, Lefteri Tsoukalas, Rusi
Taleyarkhan, Tom Downar, Yeong Kim, Dave Koltick,
- Breakthrough controversial discovery in fusion
but rapidly gaining acceptance - Thermohydraulic Safety code used by the Nuclear
Regulatory commission
16Discovery 9 Solar Energy
- R. Agrawal, J. Gray, H. Hillhouse, M. Melloch, R.
Schwartz and J. Woodall - Low cost solar cell development with new
nanotechnology processes - High efficiency solar with multiple junctions
cells (DARPA funding already?) - Storage with aluminum dissolved in gallium
17External Funding
- 40 companies have endorsed the Center
- New Energy Policy passed by Congress and about to
be signed at the White House has many new
programs including programs for University
Research - Thought leaders are calling for a 10B to 20B
investment - Often called the new post-Sputnik opportunity for
attracting students to Science and Technology
18Educational Activities
- George Bodner, Leah Jamieson, Heather Cooper, DLC
- K-12, 2 year, all colleges, citizens, and global
community education - School of Technology will play a major role
-
19Commercialization and Engagement
- 40 corporations and growing
- Patent portfolio development and small business
launch - Energy investors are very active
-
20Collaborations
- Birck Nanotechnology Center Nano-structured
membranes, electrodes, and solar cells - Bindley Biosciences Center Bio-fuels,
Bio-mimetic solar cells, and enzyme mediated
assembly - Center for Advanced Manufacturing Low cost
manufacturing of devices such as solar cells - E-enterprises Center Discovery Informatics for
catalysts, reaction rates and properties - Purdue Homeland Security Institute Energy policy
and its relation to world perceptions - Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurship Center
Entrepreneurship on the basis of ECP inventions - Discovery Learning Center ECP educational and
educational outreach programs - Proposed Purdue Institute for the Environment
Energy and environmental economies are tied - Physical Facilities as a Living Laboratory
Energy efficiency can reduce Purdues own bills.
In addition getting the Physical Facilities staff
excited about Discovery Park has many benefits. - Purdue Transportation Fleet as a Demonstration
Vehicle Key opportunity for publicity and
transportation cost savings. - Invention and Innovation powered Indiana Energy
Industry We expect many patents and other
intellectual property will be generated by ECP.
These will be available to the industrial
partners and others. The strong support from
industry that has already built as can be seen
from the support letters can transfer into a
truly innovation powered Indiana energy economy.
