Sustainable energy is the provision of energy such that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A broader interpretation may allow inclusion of fossil fuels and nuclear fission as transitional sources while technology develops, as long as new sources are developed for future generations to use. A narrower interpretation includes only energy sources which are not expected to be depleted in a time frame relevant to the human race.
Sustainable energy sources are most often regarded as including all renewable sources, such as biofuels, solar power, wind power, wave power, geothermal power and tidal power. It usually also includes technologies that improve energy efficiency. Conventional nuclear power and fusion power may be included, but they are controversial politically due to concerns about waste disposal and the risks of disaster due to accident, terrorism, or natural disaster.
Objective of the workshop is to:
- Give a global vision of the applications of technologies for sustainable energy (considering sources and energy efficiency), identifying the opportunities for both Indian and Spanish companies
- Analyze new technologies for energy renewable sources and technologies that improve energy efficiency
- Promote environment friendly methodologies in the energy sector
- Serve as a platform for the dialogue between Indian and Spanish stakeholders
