International Colloquium on Environmentally Preferred Advanced Power Generation
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to Costa Mesa and ICEPAG 2010! This is the 10th anniversary of ICEPAG, and we thank you
for joining us in celebration of this significant milestone.
ICEPAG is founded on a sustained series of biannual meetings of the Pacific Rim Consortium on
Energy, Combustion, and the Environment (PARCON). Established in 1992 at Seoul National University
with representation from two industries and two universities from countries flanking the Pacific Ocean,
PARCON has sought to promote advanced power generation for high efficiency and low criteria
pollutant impact, and promote communication and dialog within the Pacific Rim ― and, indeed, the
world ― to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced technology from distributed to
central generation.
ICEPAG was launched to facilitate a shared understanding of the various advanced energy
technologies under development, to promote strategic alliances to enhance collaboration among the
world’s communities, and to inspire students to embrace the challenges and opportunities associated
with advanced power generation.
I express my gratitude to members of the Organizing Committee, whose commitment to a robust
energy future is demonstrated by their support of this important gathering. The committee members
are Travis Shultz, Fuel Cell Technology Manager with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National
Energy Technology Laboratory; Rich Dennis, Gas Turbine Technology Manager for the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Advanced Gas Turbine Technology Program; Frank Holcomb, Acting Chief of
the Energy Branch at the Army Engineer Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering
Research Laboratory; Matt Miyasato, Assistant Deputy Executive Officer, Advanced Technology,
South Coast Air Quality Management District; Jiro Senda, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at
Doshisha University in Japan; Ningsheng Cai, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua
University, Beijing; Nobuhide Kasagi, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Tokyo; Aristide Massardo, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Genoa;
Kyoungdoug Min, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University; Wolfgang
Winkler, Professor, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences; Joongmyeon “Romano” Bae,
Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology; and Peter Michalski, Edison Mission Group. Thanks, too, to the ICEPAG 2010 session
organizers, who are named elsewhere in this program.
On behalf of the organizers and attendees, I would like to express my thanks to our 2010 event
sponsors: the U.S. Department of Energy, the California Energy Commission, the South Coast
Air Quality Management District, the California Stationary Fuel Cell Collaborative, Toyota,
Horiba Ltd., FuelCell Energy, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
I hope you find the conference enlightening and inspiring, and that the contacts you make during
ICEPAG 2010 lead to a more sustainable energy future for us all.
Sincerely,
