Initiating the educational and international debate on future energy resources and technologies, the Energy 2030 Conference will provide a forum for views to be voiced and information delivered which may prove to be of critical value to the strategic planning of research and development in the oil and gas and broader energy areas. The technical program will consist of twelve invited lectures and boasts high profile keynote talks by industry experts and scholars from around the world.

Highly recognized experts will discuss topical issues on current and emerging energy resources and technologies that are likely to serve as critically important contributors to the energy supply, in various sectors, 20 to 25 years from now. These invited speakers will share their vision of resources and technologies spanning fossil and alternative fuels, energy from waste and biomass, solar and nuclear energy, energy efficiency and environmental initiatives.

The confirmed Keynote Lectures to date features an impressive array of topics by a number of industry experts including: Technological Innovation and the Future of the Oil and Gas Industry?by Prof. David G. Victor, Director, Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, Stanford University, USA; ?Are We Nearing The Peak Of Fossil Fuel Energy? by Mr. Matthew Simmons, Chairman, Simmons & Company International; Energy and Reason: Global Oil and Natural Gas Outlook by Dr. Marianne Kah, Chief Economist, ConocoPhilips, USA; Energy and Reason: Securing and Sustaining Global Reach for the US Air Force?by Dr. Donald R. Erbschloe, Chief Scientist, US Air Mobility Command, USA;?Innovation for a Sustainable Energy Future: Renewable Energy's Role by?Dr. Michael Pacheco, Director for Program Development, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA; The Future of Nuclear Energy?by Prof. Mujid Kazimi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA: The Grand Challenge of the Hydrogen Economy: A Challenge too far??by Prof. Peter Edwards, University of Oxford, UK; Biomass as Renewable Energy Source for Sustainability by?Prof. Ramesh K. Agarwal, William Palm Professor of Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis, USA;?Can Separation Processes be more Energy-Efficient? By Prof. Edward Cussler, University of Minnesota, USA; Reducing the Carbon Footprint during Power Generation and Chemical Synthesis?by Prof. Adel Sarofim, Presidential Professor at the University of Utah, and Professor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA;?Clean and Sustainable Energy Supply: The European Approach?by Prof. Klaus Hein, University of Stuttgart, Germany; Energy Research and Education?by Prof. Avram Bar-Cohen, Distinguished University Professor and Chair, University of Maryland, USA.

Dr Ohadi, professor, provest and interium president for the Petroleum Institute, said, "Providing sustainable energy is a top agenda item of the world in this century. Having a realistic understanding of the available options now and in the future can serve critically useful to the strategic planning of Research and Development in the Oil and Gas and the broader Energy areas. The primary objective of Energy 2030 forum of experts is to provide a collective independent expert opinion on the current status and future outlook of various energy resources and technologies."

The conference will also host Poster Sessions on energy resources and technologies within the theme of the conference. In addition, a dedicated energy technology arena, will accompany the Energy 2030 program to showcase the latest developments in energy technologies including solar, wind, wave, biomass, nuclear and fuel cells.

The growing worldwide energy demand, and pressure for environmentally responsible methods suggests that technology will be the driver to meet these challenges. Energy 2030 hopes to forge a solid foundation in meeting these objectives.

ADIPEC 2008 will take place in the newly expanded Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from the 3^rd - 6^th November 2008. Registration can be easily completed at www.adipec.com/delegates.
