Shaguf posted a topic in World Review

Program Unveiled for Green Energy Summit 2009 Must Attend Event for Solar, Wind, Biomass, GreenFuels, Green IT, Green Builings, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability December 15, 2008, Bangalore: From March 4-6, world leaders in the renewable, green, clean technology and energy efficiency sectors will gather in Bangalore for Green Energy Summit 2009. The summit is a highly efficient forum for varied stakeholders from solar, wind, biomass, IT, transport, construction, aviation, nanotechnology and biotechnology to bring together the business and science of the most important and relevant Green Energy and Clean technologies. Green Energy Summit has two objectives, amidst a vast array of highly complex issues. First, to bring to a single, public platform - stakeholders and decision-makers from policy, finance, manufacturing and trade. Second, to help catalyze solutions, initiatives and opportunities, so that Green Business, and therefore the necessary change we seek so desperately, can prosper. "While the business opportunities in the future are enormous, we understand the need for businesses today to gain a foothold so that economically viable change can be more logical, active and urgent. To facilitate this, we will be bringing together those who are creating, propagating and establishing the systems and standards that are needed, so there can be a firm stimulus for action that goes far beyond the rhetoric, with practicable initiatives being addressed," says Dilip Thomas Steering Committee Member/Program Chair & CEO of Saltmarch Media, the organizers of Green Energy Summit. "Green Energy Summit is unique in that it endeavours to identify practical steps that will be of interest to decision makers in govt, business, industry and civil society in order to move the agenda forward with speed and urgency," adds Dr. J Gururaja, Former Sr. Advisor to United Nations. Among the participants expected to explore a sustainable future at GES are the sector’s leading financiers, entrepreneurs, corporations, scientists, policy-makers, city planners and the buyers and sellers. The first announcement of the complete program has been published from the summit website ( www .greenenergysummit.com/programOverview. html ). Featured speakers include the finest group of 'faculty' ever assembled on this subject: -"Vision for Green Energy" -- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India -"Climate Change and Green Energy"-- Dr. R K Pachauri, IPCC -"New Policy Initiatives for a Green Energy Future" -- Vilas Rao Muttemwar, Minister, MNRE, GoI -"Greening India's Power Sector" -- Dr. Jairam Ramesh, MoS - Power & Commerce -"Solar Photovoltatics: Global Perspectives" -- Dr. Hermann Scheer, Member of Parliament, Germany -"Conflict/Integration between Energy Security and Climate Change Policies" -- H.E.

But <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> is moving purposefully towards sustainable development, understanding the fierce urgency for economically sound, socially equitable and environmentally responsible progress. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> At a time when renewables comprise just 11.5% of energy source in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> stands tall with renewables accounting for 32% of total electricity generation capacity. Even <st1:country-region w:st="on">China</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region> trail behind <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> at 21 and 20 per cent respectively. Recent reports suggest the share of renewables in the Indian electricity basket is expected to rise to 15 per cent by 2030 from less than five per cent currently.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> For developing countries like <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, the global slowdown is an avenue for replacing archaic infrastructures and upgrading and building transportation, communication, energy and water systems in a sustainable manner. "The flip side of the coin is the enormous economic, social and environmental benefits likely to arise from combating climate change and re-investing in natural infrastructure - benefits ranging from new green jobs in clean tech and clean energy businesses up to ones in sustainable agriculture and conservation-based enterprises," says UNEP Executive Director, Achim Steiner, in a bid to offer up a sustainable solution for the current global crisis.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Laureate Al Gore agrees. In a recent article in the New York Times, Al Gore is quoted as saying, "The bold steps that are needed to solve the climate crisis are exactly the same steps that ought to be taken in order to solve the economic crisis and the energy security crisis". And <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> is listening.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The massive opportunity India offers to deploy finance and technologies to create clean energy products and services, which can leapfrog those employed in Western countries, has not gone unnoticed by the investor and business community and the government, says Dilip Thomas, Steering Committee Member/Program Chair & CEO of Saltmarch Media, the organizers of Green Energy Summit (greenenergysummit. com), India’s first and biggest forum for Green Energy, Clean Technology and Renewable Energy stakeholders. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The Indian state of Karnataka, for instance, has set itself a target of generating 5,450 Mw of renewable energy resources in the state by 2012 and 11700 Mw by 2018. K Jairaj, Principal Secretary of the State's Energy Department, and a member of the Green Energy Summit organizing team, has said plans are on to unveil a new renewable energy policy in early 2009, to boost energy production and consumption in the state. Jairaj says the policy aims at creating appropriate channels to collaborate with industry, supporting innovative technology, production and services, providing decentralised energy supply to agriculture, industry and households, strengthening the grid system and creating SEZs to promote renewable energy.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The oft-repeated statement that subsidy-dependent Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) are not sustainable for the long term have lessened. Tulsi R Tanti, chairman and managing director, Suzlon Energy, recently noted that innovation and technology are rapidly reducing development costs. Two years ago Suzlon was producing power [wind] at Rs. 5 per Kwh. In 2008 the cost has come down to Rs 3.5 per Kwh and it is set to come down by another rupee if the rate of progress continues.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Barack Obama's election as the president of the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region> is also expected to give a fillip to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s renewable energy plans. The 44th <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> President believes the <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> should be involved in partnerships with developing countries, such as <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>, to provide funding and access to intellectual property that they need and desire. The President-elect understands that tackling the global challenge of climate change requires <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> leadership, and has reconfirmed his campaign promise to invest $15 billion a year in low-carbon energy, including solar, wind, nuclear and next-generation biofuels.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place> has many RE laurels to its credit, says Dr. Arcot Ramachandran, chairperson of Green Energy Summit 2009 and Former UN Under Secretary General. It has the world’s largest decentralized solar energy program, ranks second in the global renewable energy “Attractiveness Index” poll, operates the world’s 2nd largest biogas program, ranks 4th as a global 'Wind Super Power' and fifth in the world in terms of exploitable hydro electricity generation. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> With the Indian market heating up while others worlwide freeze over, be seen, be heard and be noticed in India's first summit completely focused on what going green can do for you and your organisation. Green Energy Summit 2009 is a world-class forum for varied stakeholders from solar, wind, biomass, IT, transport, biofuels, construction, aviation, nanotechnology and biotechnology to make their presence felt and attract attention that matters. The summit will be held March 3-7 2009 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bangalore</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> GES 2009 is supported by Govt. of India (DST), MNRE, WCRE, IREDA, BEE, Govt. of Karnataka and several other governmental and bi-lateral agencies. Confirmed speakers include Jairam Ramesh (Minister of State for Commerce and Industry and Minister of State for Power, Government of India), Dr. R K Pachauri, Dr. Hermann Scheer (President, World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) and EUROSOLAR), Dr. Jamshed J. Irani (Director, TATA Sons Limited), Pramod Deo (Chairperson, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission), Dr. Dan Arvizu (Director, NREL), Michael T. Eckhart (President, ACORE), H.E. Clini Corrado (Director General, Ministry for the Environment Land and Sea, Italy and Chair, Global Bioenergy Partnership), Christopher Flavin (President, World Watch Institute), Marianne Osterkorn (REEEP - Director General), Mohamed El Ashry (Chairman REN21), Dr. Yogi Goswami (Former President, ISES) and Thomas B. Johansson (Director, IIIEE & Co-recipient, Nobel Peace Prize, 2007).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> For further information on GES 2009, please visit the summit on the web greenenergysummit. com <o:p> </o:p> A Saltmarch Media Press Release E: info@greenenergysummit. com<o:p></o:p> Ph: +91 80 4005 1000
