All-Energy 2015 rolls out the welcome mat
I
N EARLY May 450-plus exhibiting companies from nearly 20 countries plan to descend on the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) for All-Energy 2015, the UK’s largest renewable energy exhibition and conference.
All-Energy 2015, scheduled to take place May 6 – 7, is expected to draw approximately 7,000 people from as many as 50 countries. After 14 highly successful events in Aberdeen, AllEnergy is being held in Glasgow aptly in the year when the city holds its Green Year. This has enabled AllEnergy to expand its focus to encompass ‘Sustainable Cities.’ As in years past, the 2015 conference encompasses all sources of renewable energy generation — onshore and offshore wind, wave and tidal, bioenergy, hydropower, solar and geothermal. The All-Energy conference programme also covers: carbon capture and storage; hydrogen and fuel cells; energy storage; renewable heat, including district heating;
community energy projects; renewables for farms; and sustainable transport. Grid issues, financing and project funding matters will also be addressed. Additionally, big project developers, including the East Anglia 1 and Neart na Gaoithe wind farms, will outline their tendering process in the ‘Meet the Buyers’ Share Fair, and then make use of the special 1-2-1 meeting facility on the exhibition showfloor for pre-booked and timed meetings. Other highlights: The UK Trade & Investment plans to stage 1-2-1 meetings between representatives of UK companies eager to find out about export opportunities. Those interested in taking part in the International Business Exchange (IBEX)
