16th of February 2005, 8.30 - 13.00 hours,
Room A
The workshop will focus on the activities
of SWERA (Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment) in Brazil.
SWERA is an UNEP project, with co-financing from GEF, created
to promote the utilization of the renewable forms of solar
and wind energy by removing barriers created by the lack of
information and by supporting more informed decision-making,
science-and-technology based policy that will ultimately increase
investors confidence and interest in renewable energy. Its
goal is to survey the solar and wind energy resources in various
parts of the world and to evaluate the feasibility of using
these resources as renewable energy forms for the sustained
development of those areas.
SWERA is also aimed at transforming the ability
of target countries to assess the technical, economic, and
environmental potential for large-scale investments in solar
and wind energy facilities. Brazil is one of the 14 target
countries where SWERA activities are taking place. This workshop
will present the current status of SWERA activities in Brazil
with the aim of disseminating its major objectives and products.
