FIGURE 18.3 The projection of trend in energy sources for the future.

l Expand joint ventures with companies in these industries and coordinate
them with education, training, and academic programs.
l Provide funds for specialized training programs in IMAR (e.g., at IMAR
University of Technology) on advanced coal technologies and
renewable energy.
l Establish research and development centers, especially in areas such as
hybrid technologies, that are not found in the other chapters in the book
on other nations.
l Become a leader in GHG capture and storage technologies (sequestration),
including oxyfuel combustion, by initiating demonstration programs.
l Support large-scale demonstration projects in the renewable and clean
energy generation areas.
l Establish global business partnerships with commercial joint venture
programs.
l Create long-term financing, funding, and contract mechanisms such as
preferential feed-in laws.
l Establish IMAR as a “Strategic Energy Base” for demonstration sites in
various locations. For example, in Europe today a number of countries
have established “science parks” (see Clark, 2003a,b) with a focus on
certain technologies or interrelated groups of technologies. More recently,
Belgium is considering establishing an “energy base” for hydrogen in an
industrial area that needs both a vision (similar to IMAR) for the future and
technologies that create businesses with education, training, and jobs.

Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and especially California) historically
