Risø international energy conference, Roskilde, Denmark
12 May 2011 - 12 May 2011
Denmark
Risø's next international energy conference will take place at the Risø DTU National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy Risø in Denmark from10 to 12 May 2011.
At the conference, Danish and international energy experts from research, industry, authorities and non-governmental organisations will discuss the major energy and climate questions facing us in the 21st century. These include how we can drastically reduce global CO2 emissions, which energy technologies we need in the long run and after 2050, how should CO2 be removed from the atmosphere.
Topics set to be covered at the conference include:
- future global energy development options, scenarios and policy issues;
- intelligent energy systems of the future, including the interaction between supply and end-use;
- new and emerging technologies for the extended utilisation of sustainable energy;
- distributed energy production technologies such as fuel cells, hydrogen, bioenergy, wind, hydro, wave, solar and geothermal;
- centralised energy production technologies such as clean coal technologies, CCS and nuclear;
- renewable energy for the transport sector and its integration in the energy system.
The conference will also seek to find out how we can combine the need for fundamental change with the need for continued economic growth. While there is a need for a fundamental transformation of global energy systems, these changes will take decades and cost billions.For further information, please visit: http://www.risoe.dtu.dk/en/News_archives/News/2010/0527-Riso-intl-energy-conf-2011.aspx?&sc_lang=en(opens in new window)
