Welcome to the Energy project notes
These are the main topics being discussed at the Summit.  Participants can add to these subjects with information, best practices and project developments.  Over time they will grow into their own projects for development of ideas, projects and solutions going toward Copenhagen.  Best of all, groups can be created to submit projects for eligibility for the Ven Prize - an Award of over V100,000.
Overview
Energy
use is a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in each of the world's
major emitting nations. Achieving significant and sustainable reductions in GHG
emissions from the energy sector while minimizing other environmental and
socio-economic effects will require not only a combination of efficiency and
renewable electricity generation, but integrated resource policies and
mitigation strategies as well. New technology and political processes must
combine to effect multi-sector and system wide reductions in energy demand
needed to achieve climate goals. This
panel will assemble technical, business, and policy experts to discuss successful
strategies and examples of projects and programs that can provide energy
solutions for the new green economy.
What are the Goals?
The goal of the Energy panel is
to focus on the successes and challenges characteristic of the evolving new
green economy. Specifically the panel
will: 1 ) highlight several diverse and significant energy efficiency and
renewable energy development success stories from multiple nations ; 2) present
a range of integrated management strategies for consolidating energy demand and
generation into regional and subnational programs and implementation; and 3) provide
evidence of the economic value and employment benefits of investing in both
integrated management strategies and energy efficiency and renewable
technologies.
