Bridging the Gap:
Policies, Technologies, and Investments Needed for A New Energy Age
The University of Chicago’s and Northwestern University’s Inaugural Undergraduate Energy Conference
April 5, 2025 – Ida Noyes Hall
The Theme: Bridging The Gap
The rise of artificial intelligence is increasing demand for bigger data centers and transforming the world’s energy grids. Additionally, the rise of electric vehicles and heat pumps is putting upward pressure on residential electricity usage. The world – already grappling with decarbonization and climate risks – now faces growing electricity demand too.
How will we bridge the gap to ensure a resilient, efficient and sustainable future?
The Energy Conference will delve into cutting-edge technologies, forward-thinking policies, and smart investment opportunities that can help meet rising energy demands while advancing our goals for decarbonization and climate resilience.
