Structure of RIO 6 |
|
1. The
International RIO 6 Conference |
|
The speakers at RIO 6 represent the
scientific community, the energy industry and policies associated
with the implementation of energy saving strategies and renewable
energies.
Our former RIO-Conferences we were joined
by Dr. Hermann Scheer (Alternative Nobel Prize Winner, Chairman
of WCRE, President of Eurosolar), Prof. Peter Landsberg (University
of Southampton, editor and Nature author), Prof.
Olav Hohmeyer (University of Flensburg, pioneer in carbon
trading), Prof. Chris Wronski (Pennsylvania State University,
pioneer in PV thin film technology), Prof. Adolf Goetzberger
(founder of Solar Fraunhofer Institute, former ISES President),
Prof. Martin Green (Alternative Nobel Prize Winner, World
leader in silicon photovoltaic conversion efficiency, University
of New South Wales), Mechthild Rothe (EU Parliament Deputy),
Prof. Maurício Tolmasquim (CES of the Brazilian Energy
Ministry MME), Fernando Gabeira (Federal Deputy and bestseller
author), Prof. Dr. Bautista Vidal (Head Pro-Álcool),
the largest RE program ever), Dr. Franz Alt (Bestseller author
and TV-journalist), Rosa Moreno (Greenpeace), Laura Porto
(MME), Dr. Everaldo Feitosa (Director Brazilian Wind Energy
Center, Vice President World Wind Energy Association), just
to mention some participants / supporters. The Brazilian Ministry
of Energy (MME), the German Energy Agency (DENA), International
Capacity Building, Germany (InWEnt), Eurosolar, ISES Brazil
and the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) were fully
backing the events and predictably will send their top representatives
also to RIO 6.

2. The
Latin America Renewable Energy Fair (LAREF 2006) |
|
The Latin America Renewable Energy Fair
(LAREF 2006), located nearby the RIO 6 congress
hall, will stress the demonstration and application aspects
and give companies and institutions the opportunity to present
their latest energy technology and services to a growing World-
and Latin American market. With the implementation of the
Renewable Energy Incentive Program PROINFA, Brazil has become
the most important market for renewable energies in Latin
America. PROINFA guarantees the construction of at least 3,300
MW power plants driven by biomass, wind and small hydropower.
Other programs such as PRODEEM, Luz para todos
(Light for all) open a market for the use of solar energy
and other renewable energy technologies. Conditions in Brazil
are very favourable to tie new business contacts at LAREF
2006.
At LAREF 2003/05 Petrobrás,
Eletrobrás, the German Ministry of Economics &
Labour (BMWA), AET, ABEER, CanalEnergia, Wobben-Enercon Windpower,
GTZ, Gamesa, SEBRAE, Valentin - Energysoftware, Isofotón,
Ersol AG Solar Energy AG, Brasil Energia, Solardynamics, Soletrol
Q-cells, Solon AG, Nordex Energy AG, Eolica, Suntech Power,
PE Europe, MAN B&W, Energia Pura, Altercoop, UfE, Renexpo,
Kyocera Solar do Brasil, Greenpeace and more exhibited their
products and projects. The Latin America Renewable Energy
Fair was supported by the German Ministry of Economics &
Labour (BMWA) and International Capacity Building, Germany
(InWEnt), German-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (AHK), German
Energy Agency (DENA), Heinrich Boell Foundation, Isofotón,
FURNAS and the State of Rio de Janeiro. Most of these organizations
and companies will also be present at LAREF 2006.

3. Workshops |
|
Related workshops will amplify the application
aspect by fruitful, interactive discussions on specific topics.
At RIO 5 the following workshops took place:
- Workshop of the global solar and wind energy
resource assessment project (SWERA) organized by the UN
Environmental Program (UNEP)
- Workshop on Life-Cycle- Analysis and related
software by the University of Stuttgart
- Workshop on productive and sustainable implementation
of renewable energy projects by Capacity Building International
(InWEnt)
- Workshop on effectively operating carbon
trading business by compensation of air traffic emissions
via land fill gas projects in Brazil by myclimate.com, Zurich,
Switzerland.
- Workshop on an enhanced Kyoto Protocol (The
RIO 6 Protocol and Declaration), that is based
on a emission per capita rate, organized by
the World Council of Renewable Energies. The declaration
was later approved by the final assembly of the RIO 6
conference.

4. The
Political Round Table |
|
The political round table with the participation
of major governmental representatives will give the opportunity
to discuss legislation, identify and eradicate obstacles,
and provide efficient solutions for mass application of renewable
energies. At RIO 3/5 the political round table was
organized by the Heinrich Boell Foundation.
