The University of Papua New Guinea through the School of Natural and Physical Sciences will host the PNG Clean and Renewable Energy Conference in November 10-11, 2015.
With the growing renaissance on addressing energy deficiency in Papua New Guinea, this inaugural conference strives to bring together experts in PNG into one location to present, share and discuss ideas to increase the uptake of clean and renewable energy systems.
And now, with emphasis given to how research and projects undertaken in the higher education sector especially at the University of Papua New Guinea, a framework has been established to work towards achieving the National Energy Policy.
Past in-country energy conferences have often been driven by policy releases and/or the desire to implement policies by particular sectors of communities.
Others attempted to involve stakeholders; however there has never been a forum where the clean and renewable energy has been addressed from the direct policy and implementation standpoint.
In this conference, a combined effort from the government, academia – higher education, research and development, donors and financiers, industries and interest communities from within PNG, the region and the world will address Clean and Renewable Energy.
