✦ Synopsis

The Congress will include Plenary Sessions and Panel Discussions on all renewable energies (including Solar, Thermal, Wind, Biomass, Wave, Tidal, Hydro and Ocean Power, Photovoltaic and Materials Technology, Hydrogen Production), and will also deal with Climatology and Meteorology (global warming, the greenhouse effect), Architecture and Building, taking account of Solar and Low Energy factors, and Economic and Political issues, including Taxation in relation to energy use and design for energy efficiency.

Coming soon after the Brazil Earth Summit, the Congress highlights the crucial role which renewable energy can play both in developing and developed countries. Moreover, it indicates production of renewable energy devices, based on new technologies developed over the last few years, as a route out of recession for the industrial nations of the world.

So far more than 550 abstracts have been submitted for papers which will be presented; additionally 150 speakers have been invited to address the Congress under the auspices of the 250-strong International Steering Committee of the World Association of Renewable Energy, which represents 130 countries.
