DuPont CEO: Addressing Energy Challenges Will Require Delivering Smarter, More Efficient and Sustainable Solutions

Addressing energy security, climate change, and increasing demand for limited natural resources will require smarter, more efficient and sustainable energy solutions, DuPont DD Chair and CEO Ellen Kullman said today at the Detroit Economic Club. She also said innovation and collaboration to reduce dependence on fossil fuels will open up new possibilities for business growth, market opportunity and economic development. "Demand for energy will continue to grow as world population increases and as more and more people in the world move into the middle class," Kullman said. "Long before we run out of oil, simple economics, market opportunity, and innovative science -- along with other unforeseen factors yet to come -- are going to usher in the next energy revolution. In the short term, a mix of existing and emerging technologies will be needed."
