The Copenhagen Climate conference bought the power generation industry into focus as world leaders tried to negotiate new targets for industrial projects in a bid to curb global carbon emissions.

While an all-encompassing replacement for the Kyoto Protocol has yet to be agreed, the power generation industry is still working to meet stringent national and international targets to reduce harmful emissions while also increasing output to guarantee future energy security.

“PennWell has brought together all players in the power field – from renewable innovators to nuclear experts.”

The nuclear conference, made up of a dedicated programme of speakers, attempts to explore new reactors on offer from the main international players serving Europe’s nuclear industry such as Finland’s pioneering Olkiluoto 3 plant, which is currently under construction.

A panel discussion with representatives from climate charity Greenpeace, the European Commission, RWE and Eurelectric will tackle the question – “The Viability of Nuclear Power: Politics, Economics and the Environment”.

Power Technology will highlight new developments in this arena such as retrofitting the latest steam turbine technology.

Reporting on renewables

The renewable energy community has a huge part to play in the global push to find clean, reliable and secure sources of energy and Europe is at the heart of that renewable energy drive and home to many of the world’s most ambitious projects. Renewable Energy World Europe embodies that spirit of ambition and innovation, says organiser PennWell.

Renewable Energy World Europe offers a forum to debate issues, hear about the latest technologies and strategies, and discuss commercial and financial topics. The climate change debate has largely been dominated by politicians and green groups. The conference will, however, offer the chance for industry leaders to make their concerns and ideas heard, particularly on where the power industry should be focusing its efforts when it comes to reducing not just carbon dioxide, but also other harmful emissions.

“The renewable energy community has a huge part to play in the global push to find clean, reliable and secure sources of energy.”

Power Technology will be on reporting on what key industry voices have to say on where the industry goes from here, and how government targets can be met using both current and future technology.

Finally, we will be reporting from Powergrid Europe, where the latest challenges and industry adjustments to the European power grid system will be highlighted and debated.
