Roundtable Discussion: Innovation in Energy Production Based on a case study on bio-fuels, this discussion will explore the possibilities for emissions reduction in energy production through technology, business model and policy innovation. The expected outcome will be a more comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and options within each field, interdependencies and trade-offs between fields, as well as an overview of potential for enhancing growth through innovative policy approaches and business models. Topics will include bio-fuels, wind power, solar PV and thermal-electric, nuclear energy and hydrogen and fuel cells. · Moderator - Shankar Sastry, UC Berkeley · Biofuels - Jay Keasling, UC Berkeley · Solar PV - Daniel M. Kammen, UC Berkeley · Wind - tbc.· Nuclear - Riitta Kyrki-Rajamaki, Laappeenranta Technical University |

Navigating the Complexities The transition to a climate friendly economy is a complex one of adjusting policies to promote new models of growth and competition, managing a portfolio of potential technologies, and finding measures to assess and drive our progress. This session will explore the interdependencies, opportunities and trade-offs between these issues. Results of the meeting will be summarized with feedback and recommendations to the Danish government. · Moderator - Daniel M. Kammen, UC Berkeley · Climate policy and growth - Erik Rasmussen, Founder and CEO, Monday Morning · A scorecard for progress - Eileen Clausen, President, Pew Center on Global Climate Change · Managing the portfolio of technologies - Sir David King, University of Oxford (Tentative)· Towards the 2009 UN Summit - Tim Flannery, Author and Chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council and Katherine Richardson, Professor, Copenhagen University
