The energy industry is in the midst of a challenging transition to an
exciting and growing future. World economic development, spurred
by the societal advances of developing nations, is stimulating an
ever-increasing demand for energy. Development of our
conventional petroleum reserves and alternative energy technologies
must both be accomplished in a sustainable, environmentally friendly
way. Technology is the heart of the solution. Effective
technological collaboration between academia and industry can spawn
the innovations necessary to meet these needs.<br>
<br>
The energy industry, and particularly Shell, has a rich history of
technological innovation. As lead users, we have driven advances
in sensing, computing, naval architecture, robotics, material science,
and subsea construction. We have managed to find ways to deliver
resources found miles beneath the oceans at prices below the cost of
bottled water. But, as the world's demands increase,
challenges remain and grow. <br>
<br>
The world of academia, and particularly MIT, offers a rich suite of
knowledge and solutions across a very diverse set of industries and
disciplines. Close interaction between corporate scientists with
deep knowledge of the challenges, and academic scientists with deep
knowledge about novel potential solution paths, represents a mutually
beneficial opportunity to find new and productive pathways through the
coming energy transition.<br>
