The summit is sponsored by the Center for Alkaline-based Energy Solutions (CABES), a Department of Energy-supported Energy Frontiers Research Center, which seeks to advance the scientific understanding of energy conversion in alkaline media in an effort to affect system-wide changes; and the Abruña Energy Initiative, which is building clean energy infrastructure at Cornell’s Ithaca campus, in Vieques, Puerto Rico and beyond.

“The intent of the Summit is to bring together local (Cornell) and external energy experts and professionals with diverse and broad expertise to address the global energy challenges and identify potential solutions,” said Héctor Abruña, the Émile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S). 

The keynote speaker, Eduardo Bhatia, from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and former president of the Senate of Puerto Rico, will discuss the urgent public policy challenges in Puerto Rico’s transformation.
