We welcome all of participants to pursue, research and develop renewable energy and energy saving addressing the advanced and innovative technologies, which are crucial for the all lives and ecological cycle in order for global sustainability. Global warming abatement to lessen its burden and the energy supply stabilization are mandatory to discuss. We have no time in modern history than ever.
The Renewable Energy 2010 addresses these issues through the regular meetings and exhibitions, bringing together representatives of all those involved in the supply, distribution, consumption, development of energy sources at every fields of business, industry, academia, government, and civil. The slot of areas to discuss and take presentation is composed of 12, such as policy, photovoltaics, solar thermal, low energy architecture, wind, biomass, hydrogen and fuel cell, ocean energy, geothermal, advanced power system, heat utilization and energy efficiency, small hydro and non-conventional energy.
The year 2010 is the best timing to review IPCC COP3 achievement subject to the next action development needed for 2020, 2050 and 2100. The international conference and exhibition facilitate ideas, information, and program possibly to solve. The Conference focuses "Advanced Technology Path to Global Sustainability ". We look forward to seeing you.

Implementation of Closing Remarks committed in RE2006 Conference
|
|
In the closing session of Renewable Energy 2006 in 9 to 13th October, 2006 which was held in Makuhari messe, Japan, all participants more than 1000 specialists from 55 countries in the conference agreed the closing remarks such that “Renewable Energy can provide a sustainable solution for energy issues and global environment and it should become a major energy source toward the middle of 21st century. A real sustainable world can be achieved as our common future by maintaining symbiotic and recycling-oriented society apart from a mass consumption economy. A longer term and consistent policies on the Renewable Energy technology are essential. There exist a number of possible technology-based solutions. We, the specialists involved in the field of renewable energy technologies today, accept this challenge and should respond. Renewable energy is the only peaceful and green energy resource anywhere on earth. This fact should inspire us to further its development and dissemination. We, the attendants here, wish to meet each other again at the next occasion of this Renewable Energy Conference in near future somewhere”. Japan chairs the second international conference then.

Aspect further accelerated
|
|
Compared with year 2006, global situation has been extremely changed like global warning, abnormal climate, steep energy price hike, global monetary imbalance and so on. Abatement plan for the crisis was publicized in Japan too in this fiscal year, such as “The 50% CO2 reduction by 2050”, “The 21 emphasized technologies sponsored by government”, “Action Plan to build low carbon society”,etc. Many post-Kyoto discussion is also stimulating international discussion in round table. In such an occasion, the conference composed of renewable energy specialists, sitting together is quite significant in order for sharing the knowledge and technologies.

Personnel development with technology know-how is very important
|
|
Renewable energy, supplied from or originated by solar is forever and ultimate energy as long as globe sustained. It ought to be a core of energy in 21st century. The development and education of personnel who aims the major of renewable energy technology become essential. The international conference will assist and promote such needs especially for the next and young generation in submitting such an opportunity.

Flow to clean energy is common in the world
|
|
The 50% CO2 reduction in the year of 2050 needs 70-80% reduction from the current base, many authorities announced including IEA, who states that the reduction by 40% in changing to clean energy, 36% by energy efficiency and conservation, 19% by CCS is a solution of this issue. Renewable energy occupies approx.50% among the change to the clean energy. Challenge to the innovative technology development and ultimate energy efficiency are indispensable in all over the world. International conference is timely matter. Japan will devote a lot.

We realize First Class International Conference
|
|
We will realize first class international conference, and also for exhibition. In addition to the presentation of papers, we plan to invite many talent specialists from overseas and domestic. In 2006, more than 20 persons were invited. This time, the cooperation with foreign embassies has been expected based on recent collaboration.
