Renewable Energy for Sustainable Environment: Challenges and Remedies

Organised By:

Department of Energy Management

SHRI MATA VAISHNO DEVI UNIVERSITY Kakrayal, Katra, Jammu & Kashmir -182320 (INDIA)

20-21st March 2017

Background

At present our country depends heavily on fossil fuels i.e. coal, oil and natural gas for its energy supply. These are

non-renewable resources of energy, i.e., these resources are finite, which are being depleted day by day. Large

scale fossil fuel consumption has contributed to environmental degrading effects such as global warming, ozone

layer depletion, and rise in sea level. In contrast to conventional sources of energy, renewable energy resources

such wind, hydro and solar energy have negligible environmental damaging impact and are inexhaustible.

India is blessed with more than 749 GW solar energy potential, 302 GW potential for wind energy, 10 GW for bio

energy, 1, 48,701 MW potential for large hydro and 20,000 MW potential of small hydro power capacity. Despite

such a large potential for clean and green power generation, the country is generating about 75% of its power

through fossil fuels. Over the past few years, technologies for Renewable Energy have matured.

Keeping this in view, 1st International conference on “Renewable Energy for Sustainable Environment:

Challenges and Remedies” conference is being planned to bring together professionals and researchers in the

energy and environmental sector to interact and make plan through multi-disciplinary ideas to meet the sustainable

development challenge till 2035 because these areas are not separable. As energy is the major requirement of

developing world, therefore to meet this demand everyone is moving towards environmental friendly energy

approach for sustainable development. This conference will also help energy and environment industries,

consultancies, research institutes and educational bodies to share and exchange ideas and information pertaining to

sustainable energy technologies.

Objectives of the Conference

This conference is being organized by the Department of Energy Management. The main aim of the conference is

to develop the sustainable renewable energy solution for better environment and future. This conference also focus

on the development of new technologies which can achieve a new dimensions in renewable energy technologies.

Some broad objectives of the conference are:

1. Encourage and support collaborative, multi-disciplinary scientific and technological research to promote

national and international cooperation and collaboration in renewable energy technologies targeted towards

achieving the millennium development goals;

2. Stimulate research, development and innovation to increase the renewable energy technological solution;

3. Promote innovation as an objective within the framework of economic, social and regulatory policies in

renewable energy;

4. Facilitate public participation in technological orientations through public access to R&D concerning their

foreseeable long-term impacts on the energy security concern in the country for better environment and sustainable

future.

5. The collaboration of this conference at national and international level is to understand the advancement in

technologies at worldwide and to promote a collaborative work for better environment.

Who can submit paper?

Faculty Members, Scientists, Academicians, Energy & Environment Policy Makers, Professionals, Industry

personnel, Research Scholars & Students.
