Conference
Energy is one of the major challenges for human societies in the 21st century. Global warming, growing scarcity of non-renewable energy resources and thus – especially in the Caribbean – increase of the cost of energy, loss of biodiversity, water supply shortages and the long-term degradation of ecosystems among the most important issues representing growing risks for human societies and their economies. Therefore we need to focus on sustainable energy. During the upcoming international conference held in Aruba called “Our future with green Energy” , the state of the art sustainable energy technologies, feasible trends and vision will be presented by diverse international experts to public and governments.
On behalf of the Government of Aruba, we are delighted to inform you about the Conference “Our future with Green Energy “, and the unique opportunity for you to attend this conference. The event is hosted by the Government of Aruba, energy production and water production and distribution company WEB Aruba N.V., the electricity distribution company NV ELMAR and Utilities Aruba.
Due to its excellent wind, sun and sea conditions, Aruba has a great potential for cost-effective renewable energy generation. It has initiated the transition away from imported fossil fuel dependency and is in the process of implementing a whole range of sustainable energy technologies. Therefore – not surprisingly - this Conference on Green Energy will focus on new wind, water and sun energy technology and the implementation of these technologies.
