Over the course of 2015, the Council on Competitiveness (Council), the U.S. Department of Energy Offices of Fossil Energy (FE) and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), and partners across the nation co-hosted the sixth, seventh and eighth American Energy & Manufacturing Competitiveness (AEMC) Partnership dialogues—a series of conversations specifically focused on accelerating advanced materials manufacturing. These dialogues continue a progressive dialogue series convened as part of the AEMC Partnership—a three-year effort between the Council and EERE to bolster American competitiveness through advanced clean energy manufacturing and increased energy productivity, and to address the dynamic changes affecting the national and global energy landscape.
