Karl is a leading authority for deep geothermal energy globally, a passionate climate change advocate, clean tech start-up entrepreneur and thought leader in this space. He is the co-founder and CEO of CeraPhi Energy and Chairman of the board of GEAA (Geothermal Energy Advancement Association). A mechanical engineering background Karl has over 30 years of experience delivering energy infrastructure internationally holding senior positions for developers like Wood, Petrofac, Japanese conglomerate IHI Corporation before returning to the UK in 2020.

Ronald Stein, P.E. is an engineer, U.S. Citizen, energy consultant, speaker, author of books and articles on energy literacy, environmental policy, and human rights, and Founder of PTS Advance, a California based company. He advocates that energy literacy starts with the knowledge that renewables, like wind and solar, do different things than fossil fuels. Renewables only generate occasional electricity from unreliable breezes and sunshine but are incapable of supporting the supply chain of products and transportation fuels demanded by today’s societies and economies. Ronald is an Ambassador for Energy & Infrastructure, policy advisor on energy literacy for The Heartland Institute, The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, and National TV Commentator- Energy & Infrastructure with Rick Amato. Ron is a columnist of Op Ed articles on Energy Literacy at America Out Loud NEWS https://www.americaoutloud.news/author/ronald-stein-p-e/. He is co-author of three books that focus on energy literacy, and an internationally published columnist, and speaker. His books are easily available from Amazon: The 2021 Pulitzer Prize nominated book Clean Energy Exploitations, the 2020 book Just GREEN Electricity, the 2019 book Energy Made Easy.

Professor Eugene S. Mananga research interests span a range of topics in condensed matter physics, materials science, computational chemistry, and nuclear medicine. Specifically, his research more recently has focused on controlling the spin dynamics in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and using computational methods based on density functional theory (DFT) to characterize materials systems in fuel cells, batteries, and energy storage. Dr. Mananga notes that the combination of advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy and DFT allows untwining the complicated structure of various materials such as catalyst ZSM-5 zeolite, which is used in the conversion of biomass into other products. Professor Mananga multiple appointments reflect his interdisciplinary research.
