Executive Director Letter Welcome to Capture the Energy 2014! Initiatives are underway across the globe to transform the entire energy landscape. Energy storage is poised to play a major role in efforts to expand clean energy, improve the efficiency, reliability and resiliency of our electricity and transportation systems and create new economic opportunities in the process. Capture the Energy 2014 is a unique event that explores the policies, market drivers and technical developments that are shaping the future for the energy storage industry. As we seek ways to modernize and strengthen the electric grid, expand clean renewable energy, and green the transportation system, batteries and energy storage technologies are increasingly becoming part of the solution. The Conference will feature presentations and discussions with some of the biggest names in our industry about the important role for energy storage in this rapidly-evolving landscape. Our keynote speakers will discuss the domestic and international markets for energy storage and will highlight activities and initiatives underway here in New York that are helping to advance and grow our industry. Through the panel discussions, we will provide you with new insights and information on expanding markets for energy storage technologies; the successful pairing of energy storage and renewable energy resources; and the major factors influencing the future direction for New York’s electric grid, as well as the steps being taken to stimulate markets through policy decisions and other actions at the State level. Break-out sessions on the second day of the conference will explore the latest developments in battery safety and testing, fuel cells, thermal and mechanical energy storage, and the manufacture and prototyping of energy storage technologies.
