Technology pavillions from international governments confirmed for World Future Energy Summit

Combined with over two hundred exhibiting companies, the summit exhibition looks set to be the world's leading technology trade fair in the renewable energy and green buildings market.

In a week, when the United Nations has gathered the world's environment ministers to agree how to fight climate change, there is only one word on everyone's lips, technology. In this spirit, we look at three of the twelve national pavilions that will be participating at the World Future Energy Summit, January 19-21, 2009.

The Netherlands will host twenty five companies in its 'Energy Forest' national pavilion, including clean technology, water technology and waste to energy technology. They will be running a seminar on January 20th, 'Sustainable Energised Society' covering sustainable construction, Dutch architecture, clean technologies and water management.

The Crown Prince of the Netherlands, Prince Willem-Alexander and Mr. Frank Heemskerk, the Minister for Foreign Trade, will be officially opening the pavilion. The Netherlands will be launching the export organization 'Cleantech Holland' and signing a number of Memorandum of Understandings.

Netherlands' companies participating include leading water experts as part of the Netherlands Gulf Region Water Platform (NGWP), Genap, producers of flexible water storage reservoirs and Sunweb, producers of break through multi crystalline back contact solar cells. LED lights from participant Ledned will be used in the trees in the pavilion's 'Energy Forest'.

The Spanish Pavilion will host a number of companies, dominated by the national expertise, Solar technology. Torresol Energy, the joint venture between the engineering group Sener and Masdar announced at last year's summit, will have a virtual model of its first project, Gemasolar, on show.

Other leading Spanish technologies at the summit will include Generalia's high accuracy PV suntrackers for solar plants and their launch product, Spintracker: the new cost competitive suntracker for HCPV. Siliken is a leading turnkey system integrator for off-grid and on-grid solar PV systems.

Aries Ingeniería y Sistemas will be exhibiting a model of a thermosolar electric plant and have engineering specialists from solar, wind, bio-fuels, biomass and fuel cells. Abengoa solar will be exhibiting its leading international developer of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and PV plants and technologies.

The Swiss pavilion looks set to be a hub of activity with the Swiss Minister of Environment and Energy, H.E. Moritz Leuenberger, signing a ground breaking Memorandum of Understanding with Abu Dhabi government on January 19, 2009. On the pavilion will be fourteen leading Swiss companies participating, using Abu Dhabi as its base to spread its technology and know-how across Arabia and the world.

myclimate, one of the world's top carbon offset providers, will have their top management to explain Clean Development Mechanism projects and carbon offsetting solutions across the emerging world. 3 S Industries AG is an expert in the production equipment for the manufacture of solar modules and will have experts from its 3 affiliates Companies 3S Swiss Solar Systems, Pasan and Somont at the Summit.

Newsgens will be introducing a revolutionary hydrogen plant on the Island of Corfu at the Summit. The plant uses hydrogen technology to produce electric electricity and eliminate 120,000 tonnes of waste a year. Huber & Suhner will also be participating in the pavilion.

The fight against climate change becomes a real business opportunity when surrounded by leading technology providers. It may be December 2009 in Copenhagen before the United Nations secures a global deal on pollution limits and investor security for renewable energy.

However, being positioned with the right technology to feed that market is the clever thing to do. Join the leaders, be part of the solution and the economic growth that results from being ahead of the market at the World Future Energy Summit, 19-21 January in Abu Dhabi.
