All of April is Earth Month at ACC and on April 11th RESA is co-hosting Clean-EnergY Factor: Women in Clean Energy where students and others can meet successful women from the renewable energy field. Keep Saturday, April 21st in mind as well for an event called Alternative Transportation: the greener choices.

More than 200 sessions will discuss everything scientific, renewable, efficient, environmental or financial at the World Renewable Energy Forum (WREF), May 13–17, 2012, in Denver, Colorado.

Registration is open; early registration discount ends April 13. Sign up now for access to world’s top renewable energy experts.

If your focus is the business side of energy, here are just some of the presentations ready for you:

• Forecasting the Future of Energy Technologies using Economic Payback Curves
• Clean Energy Policy Building Blocks: Helping Policymakers Determine Best Policy Practices for Clean Energy
• Can You Find Real Gold in Investing in Green Energy in 2012? A Panel Discussion on the Effectiveness of Tax Credits, Incentives, and Grants for Renewable Energy Installations

If the business side of energy isn’t your thing, we’ve got hundreds of other sessions to choose from—WREF’s complete program is now online.

About WREF

The World Renewable Energy Network (WREN) and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) have joined forces to present the World Renewable Energy Forum (WREF). This international event on renewable energy technologies will address the world’s economic, environmental and security challenges at every scale, from off-grid villages to gigawatt power plants. The 2012 conference also is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES) and the International Solar Energy Society (ISES). Conference details are at www.wref2012.org.

Boulder, Colo., Nov. 14 – Researchers from Bangladesh, China, Korea and Iran have submitted abstracts for technical papers to be delivered at the World Renewable Energy Forum (WREF 2012), coming to Denver’s Colorado Convention Center, May 13 to 17.

Abstracts have come in from Wisconsin, Oregon, Utah and Colorado, as well.

Concepts covered by early submissions include –

• an improved design for parabolic trough mirrors used in electric generating plants,
• better foundations for offshore wind turbine towers,
• solar cells based on inorganic quantum dots,
• lighter, thinner solar water heating collectors,
• improved building-integrated solar heating elements,
• a better spectral analysis of pyranometer response, and
• forestry issues related to solar power development.

For the first time, the American Solar Energy Society’s National Solar Conference will combine with the bi-annual World Renewable Energy Congress. Energy experts from around the world will come to Denver, the epicenter of renewable energy in the United States, to share their research, knowledge and experience.

Renewable energy technologies are now crossing over the grid-parity divide into mainstream use throughout the world. WREF 2012 will examine how renewable energy technologies address the world’s economic, environmental and security challenges at every scale, from off-grid villages to gigawatt power plants.
