In the present era of high energy consumption in every sphere of life, renewable energy sources are emerging as alternatives to conventional fuels for energy security, mitigating green house gas emission and climate change. In Asian region, renewables are abundantly available and can provide energy security to most of its areas. Solar, biomass, wind, biogas etc therefore are better choice and have a very promising future in Asia due to the tropical location and availability. In South and East Asia, many countries are energy importers, and also several institutes are working on R&D of renewable energy.

In view of the above, there is both need and possibilities to strengthen renewable energy programme in an effective manner in Asia and to make a new framework for the future. In this context, “Renewable Energy Asia 2008 – An International Conference & 4th SEE Forum Meeting” is being organized at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi during 11-13 December, 2008 with the following objectives:

1.State of the art Renewable energy technologies in Asian region
2.Mitigation of green house gas emission and global climatic change
3.Recent advances in solar, biomass, biogas, wind and other renewable energy technologies
4.Social and economical aspects of renewable energy
5.Mutual cooperation among Asian countries in the area of renewable energy
6.Renewable energy policy, planning and education
