This Emerging Energy Frontiers & Future Concepts session provides a platform for visionary and high-risk, high-reward concepts that may shape long-term energy futures. Topics include fusion breakthroughs, space-based solar power, novel energy carriers, advanced thermodynamic cycles, and unconventional resource utilization. Contributions may be theoretical, experimental, or conceptual, but should be grounded in sound scientific and engineering principles. The session welcomes cross-disciplinary ideas that combine insights from physics, materials science, systems engineering, and economics. Studies that outline possible development pathways, critical research challenges, and potential system-level impacts are particularly encouraged, offering a forward-looking perspective on disruptive energy innovations.
