SUMMARY:A Scientist’s View of Research for Sustainable Energy\, Phys
ics Department Colloquium\, Ellen Williams\, BP\, Chief Scientist
DESCRIPTION:We face one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century:
providing more and more energy to meet rising demand\, but keeping it
affordable\, secure\, reliable and sustainable. But aEuro~sustainable
aEuroTM means different things to different people aEuro"\; from d
iscovering and recovering more oil and gas to minimizing the impacts o
n natural resources used in energy. In this talk\, Ellen Williams will
outline the importance of scientific research to both finding new sol
utions and providing trusted data to underpin informed decisions about
energy\, water\, land and minerals. Three examples of research addres
sing these topics will be presented from a perspective of the scientif
ic challenges in delivering new value in the energy system. These will
span the disciplinary space of geoscience\, chemistry\, biology and n
atural resource systems.

\nEllen Williams joined BP
as Chief Scientist in January 2010. She is responsible for supporting
the basic science that underpins the companyaEuroTMs technology progr
ams\, assessment and research in strategic technology issues and engag
