Energy is an important input for economic development but today, the world’s energy supply is largely based on fossil fuels and nuclear power. These sources of energy will not last forever and have proven to be contributors to our environmental problems. This has lead to the governments around the globe and industries thinking seriously about alternative sources of energy. This need was further affirmed by the 1973 oil embargo and oil price shock of 2008 and the ever increasing oil prices since then. These issues along with declining availability of the fossil fuels has led to the fast development of renewable energy resources such as biomass, biofuels, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro energies etc. According to a study commissioned by International Energy Agency titled: “World Energy Outlook, 2008” the world’s energy system is at a crossroads. Current global trends in energy supply and consumption are patently unsustainable – environmentally, economically, socially but this situation can be changed if we can secure the supply of reliable and affordable energy; and effect a rapid transformation to a low-carbon, efficient and environmentally benign system of energy supply. Since exhaustible energy sources are limited, there is an urgent need to focus attention on development of renewable energy sources and use of energy efficient technologies.  With increasing scope, scale, research and development, the costs of renewable energy technologies will come down allowing RE to make major contributions to electricity generations to electricity generation, heating and cooling and transport.     It is estimated that Renewable energy could contribute at least half of all electric power in each of the large economies by 2050, even those with significantly higher electricity demand.  For more details, visit our website and contact at the given email-id with subject line as "Information about DIREC 2010, found this opportunity on Let Me Know"
