3RD INTERNATIONAL 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY CONFERENCE • A decade ago, no one could imagine a fundamental transformation of the giant energy networks in which all human activities on earth, industrial and social, expanded globally depending on fossil and nuclear fuels in a period of 200 years. • However, today it is a proven fact that this giant energy network enslaving the world but destined to come to an end is creating climate change environmental pollution, health problems, wars ands poverty and thus is a threat to the earth and humanity. • The endeavours of individuals and institutions who had foreseen this reality in advance and had done research and other studies are producing results. During the first decade of the 21st. century, while rapid improvements are being observed in renewable energy technologies thanks to incentives and supports, the legal and economical arrangements are being made to improve the usage and compatibility of renewable energies.

• Today, we know that it is possible to transform totally the existing energy network and utilize 100% renewable energies. European Renewable Energy Council, when introducing 100% renewable energy goal for the year 2050, emphasized the fact that,100% renewable energy supply is not a matter of availability of technologies; it is a matter of political will and making the right choices to set the course for a sustainable energy future. • What Turkey should do is to develop at national and local levels, long term, extensive energy policies not to fall behind this transformation. It is inevitable for all actors; energy producers, operators, service and finance providers to make future plans foreseeing this transformation. • EUROSOLAR Turkey, the Turkish Section of European Association for Renewable Energies, in line with the vision of the Association, is organizing IRENEC, International 100% Renewable Energy Conferences, the third one to be held in 27-29 June 2013, to set up an international platform to discuss the technical, economic, political aspects of the transition to 100% Renewable Energy and build the course to realize this vision in industry, architecture, transportation and training.
THE IMPORTANCE OF IRENEC 2013 AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPONSORS • For the first time in Turkey, all sources of Renewable Energies, solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and end use efficiency of energy will be discussed as a whole in an international platform. • IRENEC 2013 will be a significant step in the solution of the energy question, in other words in realization of the target of 100% renewable energy. • A major contribution of the Conference will be the explanation by the experts of internalization of external costs which must be taken into consideration when evaluating and developing the energy investments and policies. • The future technologies forming the base of a total transformation to Renewable Energies and trainings for all areas of the sector shall take place in the main sessions. • The storage of the Renewable Energies, a very significant subject nowadays discussed extensively shall be examined and exhibited with latest technologies in the Conference. • Industry and transportation sector shall start this transformation by utilizing primarily energy end use efficiency. Examples of zero energy buildings and energy end use efficiency applications realized by many countries which set up high goals shall be demonstrated in the Conference. • Detailed technical models related to solar, wind, biomass and geothermal applications and technologies shall be discussed in Conference sessions. • IRENEC 2013, shall encourage global participation and create chances of networking with major actors in Renewable Energy. • Since Renewable Energies are the focus of both world and national agendas and media, the visibility of the supporting and sponsored institutions shall be higher. |
