Scientific Session

Track 1: Renewable Energy

The Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2018 report, published by UN Environment. Last year was the eighth in a row in which global investment in renewables exceeded $200 billion – and since 2004, the world has invested $2.9 trillion in these green energy sources. Overall, China was by far the world’s largest investing country in renewables, at a record $126.6 billion, up 31 per cent on 2016. Solar energy dominated global investment in new power generation like never before in 2017. The world installed a record 98 gig watts of new solar capacity, far more than the net additions of any other technology – renewable, fossil fuel or nuclear and solar power attracted far more investment, at $160.8 billion, up 18 per cent, than any other technology.

Track 2: Green Energy and Economy

Eco-friendly sources of energy, also known as Green energy or renewable energy sources, have acquired tremendous attention and acceptance in the past few years as governments, organizations and people all over the world are embracing their environmental responsibilities. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, water, snow, and rain. In addition to not having an adverse impact on the environment, these energy sources will never die out as they are continuously replenished. Monopoly-based organizational structures defined the energy market during its early history. Due to extraordinary circumstances in the 1970s, the market saw a radical overhaul that led to liberalization in some countries. Today, we are at the cusp of what may be another radical overhaul in the market.

Track 3: Hybrid Renewable Energy Approaches

Hybrid energy systems (HESs) are expanding due to environmental concerns of climate change, air pollution, and depleting fossil fuels. Moreover, HESs can be cost effective in comparison with conventional power plants. The current trend of research and development are focused in hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) that allowing hybridization and optimization of the electrical generation.

Track 4: Biofuels and Bioenergy

Biomass can be used to produce renewable electricity, thermal energy, or transportation fuels. Bioenergy is often considered to be environmentally friendly because, in theory, the CO2 released when plants and trees are burned is balanced out by the CO₂ absorbed by the new ones planted to replace those harvested. There are two main criticisms of biofuels. The first is that growing plants for energy puts pressure on land use, boosting deforestation and driving up food prices. The second is that the production of some biofuels has been linked to high levels of carbon emissions

Track 5: Solar, Wind and Marine Energy

The earth intercepts lots of solar power, 173 trillion terawatts to be specific. That’s literally ten thousand more power than the entire world population utilizes. This validates the fact that the sun is the most plentiful source of energy on the entire globe and that it could one day be the most reliant source of energy. This system uses a hybrid solar panel and wind turbine generator to create electricity which is then stored in batteries. Marine energy – also referred to as ocean energy, ocean power and marine hydrokinetic energy (MHK) – encompasses various means through which energy can be harnessed from our oceans. There are various types of marine energy, including wave, tidal stream, tidal range and offshore wind, as well as ocean thermal, ocean current, run-of-river and salinity.

Track 6: Hydro Power Generation and Geothermal Energy

Hydro energy is available in many forms, potential energy from high heads of water retained in dams, kinetic energy from current flow in rivers and tidal barrages, and kinetic energy also from the movement of waves on relatively static water masses. Hydroelectric power generation is by far the most efficient method of large scale electric power generation. Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. Geothermal fields produce only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide that a relatively clean natural-gas-fuelled power plant produces. Binary plants release essentially no emissions. Unlike solar and wind energy, geothermal energy is always available, 365 days a year.

Track 7: Waste to Energy and Smart Grid Systems

Waste to Energy (WTE), is a term that is used to describe various technologies that convert non-recyclable waste into usable forms of energy including heat, fuels and electricity. WTE can occur through a number of processes such as incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas recovery. Currently, the world generates 1.3 billion tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) annually. A smart grid technology is an essential to provide easy integration and reliable service to the consumers. A smart grid system is a self-sufficient electricity network system based on digital automation technology for monitoring, control, and analysis within the supply chain.

Track 8: Global Impacts of Using Non-Renewable Resources

Non-renewable energies are those that do not self-sustain naturally. Examples of non-renewable energies are coal, oil and natural gas. Unlike renewable energy sources like wind, water and sun--most of which are converted to power cleanly--the conversion of fossil fuels to usable energy can result in harmful emissions and its collection can disrupt local wildlife. A 2004 study concluded that pollution from coal-powered plants shortened nearly 24,000 lives a year in the U.S.

Track 9: Fossil and Radioactive Fuels

Fossil fuels dominate the power sector and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Strong growth in non-OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries exceeds the reductions in OECD countries, thereby extending a lifeline of fossil fuels. However, their share of the energy generation market is expected to decline from 68 per cent in 2011 to 57 per cent in 2035.

Track 10: Petroleum Engineering and Natural Gas Recovery

Petroleum Engineering is a blend of development, investigation and extension. This real fills the world and gives the building squares to each other calling to successfully complete its work." Energy is a key part in our regular day to day existences. A safe vitality future requires a harmony between natural effect and reasonable supply.

Track 11: Advanced Materials for Energy Storage, Generation and Transmission

The increased deployment of renewable generation of energy, coupled with the high cost of managing peak grid demand, is driving interest in stationary energy storage technologies within the utilities industries. Grid reliability and the large capital costs of upgrading the nation's electrical transmission systems are sparking interest in distributed energy generation and storage. And in the transportation sector, the volatility of fuel prices and the desire to create a competitive domestic battery manufacturing industry have all led to rapid growth in research in advanced energy storage technologies.

Scope and Importance:

The global renewable energy market was valued at $928.0 Billion in 2017, and is expected to reach $1,512.3 Billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2018 to 2025. Renewable energy technologies convert the energy from different natural sources such as sun, tides, wind and others, into its usable forms such as electricity. Energy 2020 focuses on bringing together renewable and non-renewable energy experts, policy makers, economists, academicians and students to discuss the current state of research and development in energy strategies. Today’s market is fragmented as hydro and sea control, wind vitality, sun powered vitality, bioenergy, and geothermal vitality. By end client, it is grouped into private, business, and mechanical and others
