Thanks Kes....so it is happening!

World Renewable Energy Congress

Yesterday, I attended and presented at the World Renewable Energy Congress held in Linköping, Sweden. There were some 600 delegates from over 70 countries, and you could feel the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in the presentations and questions.

But the story was the same - renewables are growing fast and there are lots of exciting developments, but we need renewables to grow much faster to meet the challenges of the 21st century - namely climate change, but just as important, poverty reduction and social development.

I presented on the emerging bio-economy in Europe and talked about the many opportunities and the immense challenges to ensure we have a sustainable bio-economy.
