SEE Forum on Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Waste Management, Recycling and Environment
28-30 March 2012, Sofia, Bulgaria. Organizer: Via Expo.
From 28 until 30 March 2012, the South-East European Forum will gather key industry players on a global scale in Sofia, Bulgaria. Strong international presence, excellent opportunities for how-how transfer and networking, vast promotional support by 100 international and local media and branch associations – that all features the event, organized by Via Expo. It includes in its format a Congress and Exhibition on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE & RES), SEE Solar Exhibition and ‘Save the Planet’ - Conference and Exhibition on Waste Management, Recycling and Environment.
The European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050 aims a very high share of RES in gross final energy consumption (75 per cent in 2050) and a share of RES in electricity consumption reaching 97 per cent. The other ambitious target is for the landfills to be banned in 9 years - about 3 billion euro per year is the value of materials which can be got from reuse. The ‘green wave’ will not pass South-East Europe. The renewable energy and waste sectors in the Region are in need of expertise, technology and equipment. In view of the global changes, the South-East European Forum will outline good business opportunities in this part of Europe and promote best environmental practices, the implementation of which will decarbonise the local economy.
Over 50 per cent of the area in 2012 will be covered by foreign exhibitors from Austria, China, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, etc. The organizer Via Expo expects over 7 000 professional visitors to get involved.
High-level speakers from the European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources, Euroheat & Power, World Alliance for Decentralized Energy, European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, European Renewable Energies Federation, etc. will discuss legislation, good practices and technological developments related to green energy. The EE & RES Project Financing Day is the emphasis in the program. There will be 2 panels: Arranging Construction & Development Project Financing (Debt and Equity) and Arranging Debt and Equity for Operational Projects and Assets such as Existing Buildings. The Austrian Workshop will present EE projects implemented in industry, their results and the Austrian experience in the subsidy schemes in the industrial sector. pvXchange and Via Expo organize the 1st PV Discussion Forum ‘Photovoltaics’.
