Additional presentations will be made by Presidents of the partner Universities of the McDonnell International Scholars Academy. Presentations will address: 1. Assessment of the world's future energy needs in next 50 years; 2. Evaluating energy resources to meet energy needs and barriers in developing needed energy resources; 3. Technologies for addressing the accumulation of CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels and recommend areas of research to advance such technologies; and 4. Identifying research opportunities to advance the creation of new energy sources, including renewables and to improve the efficiency of energy-consuming vehicles, devices, systems and buildings. 5. Global Energy Future project will also focus on defining cooperative education and research programs for McDonnell Academy Partner Schools to work together collaboratively.
