The California Ocean Renewable Energy Conference was a forum to share information about regulatory frameworks, resources, technologies, and environmental research relating to wind and wave energy offshore California.

Goal:

Inform and improve collaboration among stakeholders in wind and wave energy offshore California.
 

Objectives:

•   Explain regulatory roles and processes relating to wind and wave energy
•   Identify strategies for effective collaboration among regulatory agencies
    and stakeholders
•   Describe wind and wave energy resources and technologies
•   Highlight scientific research about potential environmental interactions
    relating to ocean renewable energy activities
 

Who Attended:

Federal, state, and local representatives; marine resource managers; scientists; engineers; energy planners; educators; and the public

Venue

Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center

University of California, Davis
530 Alumni Lane
Davis, California 95616

The two-day conference included opening remarks by Federal and State representatives, invited presentations in consecutive themed sessions, Q&A discussions, and an evening social event.

U.S. Department of the Interior • Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) manages the exploration and development of the nation's offshore energy resources. The bureau seeks to balance economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through responsible management of offshore conventional and renewable energy development based on the best available science. BOEM conducts environmental reviews, including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses and compliance documents for each major stage of energy development planning. These analyses inform the bureau’s decisions on exploration and development activities. Additionally, BOEM’s scientists conduct and oversee environmental studies to inform policy decisions relating to the management of energy and marine mineral resources on the OCS.

Cooperating Partner
 

University of California, Davis • College of Engineering

The UC Davis College of Engineering is one of the largest engineering programs in the U.S., with majors from a broad scope of engineering disciplines, including aerospace science, biochemical, biological systems, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer science, electrical, materials science, and mechanical engineering. College researchers and educators focus on specific areas of concern: energy, environment, health and biology, information technology and management, and physical infrastructure. They are recognized leaders in energy efficiency, biomass, wind, alternative fuels and transportation, data visualization, optical communications, network security and biomedical imaging. The College of Engineering also has a long standing tradition of public service and fosters this commitment through programs such as the Renewable Energy Systems Opportunity for United Research Collaboration and Education (RESOURCE), which partners with local elementary and middle schools to develop innovative curriculum for future engineers.
