Event Overview
Fossil Fuel, Electricity, Alternative and Renewable Energy, Biomass and Carbon-Neutral Fuel, Greenhouse Gases, Climate Change, the Water Footprint, the Environment and the Ecosystem are all words and terms we hear every day but what are we doing about it?
Alter Energy '09 is for those who want to make a difference. Leaders around the world are determined on developing and implementing the use of alternative ener-gies as a way of reducing our dependence and use of conventional energy sources with the intent of reducing its impact on climate change. The necessity to carry this message to households has never been more acute in consideration that some of the GCC nations record the highest CO2 emissions in the world.
Informing and educating our community on the hazardous impact of our contribu-tion to the carbon and water footprint is critical.
The development and use of alternative energy sources is one way of contributing to the management of what is heading to be a catastrophic future in environmental terms. Reducing household and industrial power and water consumption through the effective use of technology and government policy can also go a long way in ensuring a sustainable future.
Join us at Alter Energy ‘09 to discuss all this and more, and be a part of the elite few who will make a difference to how we perceive and react to the environmental challenges that face the world and our region in particular.
Learn about how projects in the Middle East such as the MASDAR Initiative have put renewable energies and green technology investment high on public and private sector agenda.
Attendee Profile
Alter Energy ‘09 is a conference-led event where international experts, regional decision-makers and premier suppliers of green technology and renewable energy infrastructure meet and debate the relative merits of alternative energies versus conventional energies and more importantly, how they can partner together to satisfy future energy demand for the growing world population, whilst minimizing the environmental impact.
Alter Energy ‘09 will benefit executives from National Oil Producers, International Oil Com-panies, Alternative Energy Suppliers, Energy Service Providers, Energy and Building Contractors, Ministries & Public Service Providers and Government & Research Agencies. The convention will facilitate a discussion on future energy strategy with key stake holders, decision makers and policy setters in the energy sector.
