The Future is Green
"By 2020 a wide variety of renewable sources is supplying a fifth of electricity in many OECD markets and nearly a tenth of global primary energy... By 2050 renewable reach a third of world primary energy and are supplying most incremental energy."
Shell International
Renewable energy and energy efficient technology is growing rapidly to be a large part of the world’s energy future. The public and private sector investment in renewable energy have demonstrated an increased interest in renewable energy. And the increased awareness of renewable energy opportunities and government policies supportive of renewable energy development are helping to speed this transition to a sustainable energy future.
:
More than one third of our electricity is projected to be supplied from renewable energy sources in 2020. The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in electricity consumption is predicted to increase to 34.3% by 2020, with wind energy representing 14%, hydropower 10.5%, biomass 6.6%, photovoltaics 2.4%, Concentrated Solar Power 0.5%, geothermal energy 0.3% and ocean energy 0.2%.
The REN21 (Renewable energy Policy Network for the 21st Century) report has shown that renewable energy sector has grown strongly and steadily since 2005. As a result, renewable energy is beginning to reach a tipping point as it becomes increasingly important in today’s world of global energy. More significant development is the shift in the geographic spread of renewable energy.
Policy efforts now need be strengthened in order to encourage continued growth and development of renewable technologies. In turn, it would prove instrumental in building a long-term, stable, low-carbon global economy-one that promotes energy security, industrial development and competitiveness, local economic development and jobs along with climate change mitigation, and universal access to energy.
This event will bring together key players in the Renewable Energy Sector including Industry Leaders, Policy Makers, Utilities, Major Lenders and Investors and others to discuss the future of renewable in the energy mix. They will deliberate on the interplay between financing, investment, policy frameworks, grid integration and latest technologies. The conference has a unique platform of interactive learning and networking sessions. It will enable our participants to gain firsthand knowledge and experience from key decision makers in the industry. Join us in Brussels, Belgium to maximise business development opportunities and adopt successful renewable practices.

About Brussels
Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the administrative centre of the European Union. It is officially bilingual (French and Dutch), although it boasts an astonishing variety of languages, cultures, and nationalities.
Brussels ranks second in the world in terms of diplomatic representations. The city has such a wide impact on the world at large that it has become an extremely attractive place for doing business. As the decision-making heart of Europe, it has become an international capital, where opinion leaders from all over the world meet to use their influence in policy-making decisions as well as to do business. Nevertheless, it remains intimate enough to allow its inhabitants to enjoy all the advantages of a vibrant city.
Most tourists want to spend vacations in a Bruxelles hôtel because it is a city which is also renowned for its marvelous sights. Among them Grand Place is a most beautiful attraction in Brussels and since 1988 it was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
