Bangkok--15 Aug--Francom Asia
The European Union and Thailand are set to co-host a stakeholder workshop that will provide a platform for the exchange of expertise in renewable energy development, ultimately enhancing the alternative energy capabilities of Thailand's public and private sectors and moving the country closer to long-term energy sustainability.
With fossil fuel on the brink of exhaustion over the next few decades, renewable energy development has become the preferred solution for reducing dependency on imported energy, preventing future shortages, and cutting down greenhouse gas emission levels. In recognition of these benefits, the European Union and the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, Ministry of Energy will organize a stakeholder workshop titled "Renewable Energy and Experience Sharing" on August 15, 2012 at Kamolthip Room, 2nd floor, The Sukosol Hotel (formerly Siam City Hotel), Bangkok.
In the event, Thai and EU experts will provide participants with detailed information on the European Renewable Energy Policy both on single-state and EU-wide levels, guidelines on the implementation of renewable energy solutions, development of institutional framework, an in-depth look at renewable energy technologies, and the impact of renewable energy on economic growth.
Interested persons can obtain further information on the workshop or confirm your attendance online at www.TEC-II.net/online-reg.htm, or by calling Khun Pawantee Chotenisakorn at +66 2693 1661, or emailing
