5th International Energy and Sustainability Conference 2016

June 30th and July 1st 2016 at TH Köln (Germany) in cooperation with Farmingdale State College (USA)

The Cologne Institute for Renewable Energy CIRE at TH Köln (Germany) in cooperation with the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Center at Farmingdale State College (USA) will invite you to the Fifth International Energy and Sustainability Conference on Thursday June 30th and Friday July 1st to the campus of TH Köln in Cologne/Deutz.

In December 2015 the United Nations decided at the climate conference in Paris, France, to limit global warming and to decarbonize the energy system. Our conference discusses pathways and technologies required.

The conference theme will focus on the transition of our today's energy systems towards completely renewable based systems. Due to the nature of intermittent renewable energy resources it is essential to integrate formerly non-integrated systems in order to end up with reliable and economically feasible energy systems. Therefore, the conference will focus on the integration of different energy sectors: electricity sector, heating and cooling sector, transport sector, and also water supply and sewage sector. Moreover, to fulfill future energy system demands also energy storage in all sectors and grid infrastructures as well as energy efficiency topics will be addressed.

We ained IEEE as partner and will publish the conference proceedings in IEEE Esplore. This conference will act as a bridge between original manufacturers and service providers with regard to all relevant technologies. Exhibitors will have an opportunity to display their products and services in an open forum and attendees are encouraged to view a wide range of exhibits. A network of professionals will be in attendance and the potential for job opportunities in the field will be prominent.

Academic scholars will be in attendance from all over the world to share their latest research and achievements in renewable energy and sustainability. Domestic and international University representatives will be exposed to the latest technologies to expand current curriculums with sustainable products.

We hope you can join us on Thursday June 30th and Friday July 1st and participate in TH Köln's and Farmingsdale State College's ongoing commitment to Renewable Energy and Sustainability.
