abstract: Carbon Capture and Storage is the most exciting proposition for reducing emissions and tackling climate change across a broad range of industries. Institute members throughout the world are working on challenging R&D projects to bring the technology into commercial reality. In order for the technology to develop engineers need to take the lead in ensuring the public accept this emerging technology by addressing key issues with carbon dioxide capture, transmission and sub surface sequestration. The aim of this seminar is to explore the technologies available to design power plants for carbon capture, the technologies for the capture process itself and the provisions will allow carbon capture to be installed at a later date, transportation options for carbon dioxide and the technology and options for storage of carbon dioxide.

abstract: Bis 2020 soll der Anteil regenerativer Energien an der Stromerzeugung in Deutschland nach einem Gesetzentwurf der Bundesregierung auf 25 bis 30 Prozent ansteigen. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, muss ein intelligenter Mix verschiedener Energieträger zum Einsatz kommen. Welche Ausbaupotentiale für Wind- und Sonnenergie in Deutschland bestehen, stellt Prof. Dr. Jürgen Schmid, ISET e.V., Kassel dar. Derzeit boomt weltweit vor allem die Solarwirtschaft; ob Solarstrom auch in Deutschland eine Ressource mit Zukunft ist, hinterfragt Prof. Dr. Eike R. Weber, Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energie-systeme (ISE), Freiburg. Weil Solar- und Windenergie periodisch anfallen, ergibt sich einerseits die Notwendigkeit, weitere Quellen für die Grundlast zu erschließen: Die mögliche Rolle von Biogas in künftigen Energieversorgungssystemen erörtert Ulrich Schmack, Schmack Biogas AG, Schwandorf. Ob zum anderen neuartige Speichersy-steme die System- und Marktintegration von Regenerativstrom erleichtern, ist Thema des Vortrags von Dr. Mario Ragwitz vom Fraunhofer-Institut für System- Innovations-forschung, Karlsruhe. Eine regenerative Stromwirtschaft wird in jedem Fall eine stärke-re Dezentralisierung der Stromerzeugung zur Folge haben. Prof. Dr. Armin Schnettler informiert, welche Anforderungen sich dabei an die Stromnetze und deren Führung ergeben. Die Sicht des Regulierers auf die erforderlichen Erweiterungen und Umstruk-turierungen der Energienetze schildert Dipl. Phys. Fabian Scharf , Bundesnetzagentur.

Moderator der Veranstaltung ist Prof. Dr. Eberhard Jochem, Centre f. Energy Policy & Economics, ETH Zürich.

abstract: Water is essential for human health as it is closely linked with our body. However, data from UNICEF has shown more than 2.6 billion which is forty percent of the world’s population experience lack of basic sanitation facilities and safe drinking water sources. These situation have resulted illness and deaths of children caused by diarrhea and other sanitation-related disease. Not only is health related disease attacking children, but also lack of education. Children, in particular girls are too busy fetching water which discourage them of good education. In advance, poor people will encounter lack of productivity which in advance cause national economic suffers. It is vital then to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices as well.

This Congress’ central theme is the great rivers of the world and the engineering challenges of balancing environmental and development issues while achieving a sustainable future. It is imperative that those working on the front lines – at the environmental/water engineering nexus – share insights from research and practical experience in the field to generate best practices for the future on issues such as river system management, environmental issues, watershed management and restoration, dam safety, hydraulic structures, and so much more.

abstract: The productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems act as invaluable natural resource which is vital to the survival and well being of the human kind. This is especially crucial for a maritime nations like Malaysia. Today, increasing human activities such as over-fishing, coastal development, pollution, introduction of exotic species and climate change have caused significant damage that could pose a serious threat to this fragile environment.

Marine resource management has become one of the most challenging problems faced by nations worldwide. Transboundary and integrated marine resource management strategies are crucial to ensure the future sustainability of the ecosystem. Hence it is timely to initiate this International Conference on Marine Ecosystem which focuses on discussing and addressing issues related to challanges in maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem. This conference offers an opportunity for marine experts to share and explore cutting edge technology and knowledge in marine sciences to ensure long term stability of this natural heritage.

abstract: Transportation in cities with its related environmental and social concerns is a topic of the utmost priority for urban authorities and central government organisations around the world. Urban Transport systems require considerable studies to safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. This International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment has been successfully reconvened annually for the last fourteen years. It has always attracted a wide international spread of delegates and is well established as the premier annual event of its type.

abstract: The way in which our Society exists, operates and develops is strongly influenced by the way in which energy is produced and consumed. No process in Industry can be performed without sufficient supply of energy, and without Industry there can be no production of commodities on which the existence of modern Society depends. This International Conference will include topics related to Sustainability in Energy Production, Energy Storage and Distribution and Energy Management.

abstract: This three-day symposium will celebrate the science legacy of the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). This symposium will synthesize past research, current research efforts, and prospects for future research in peatland/upland systems.

abstract: Urbanization, industrial revolution, and deficient waste disposal practices have left a legacy of polluted sediments in rivers, estuaries, lakes and seas. Pollutants of concern range from trace compounds, such as pharmaceutical substances (emerging contaminants), to high concentration compounds such as petroleum hydrocarbons released during oil spills or heavy metals carried within mine effluents. In all cases, these contaminants will represent a potential risk to aquatic ecosystems and water resources that, in turn, will affect public health or commercial and recreational activities.

The awareness of this threat has introduced, in most countries, stricter regulations that have stopped some inappropriate disposal practices (for example, disposal of contaminated dredged sediments in open sea waters). The coming of the sustainable development (world wide) movement is bringing new concepts and principles. These new concepts and principles are presently driving technological development in the site-restoration engineering practice. Nevertheless, pollution prevention, multiple contaminant and complex site layouts greatly challenge engineers and scientists who are called upon to develop solutions that are technically, economically, and socially sound.

abstract: The format of the conference will consist of invited speakers and selected plenary presentations covering all fields of global carbon cycle research.

abstract: The siting of new airports involves taking into consideration a variety of environmental, ecological, social and economic factors which transcend the problem of transportation resources optimisation itself. Regional airports can be a powerful driving force behind the development of an area and conversely can result in major problems if they are wrongly sited. All of the factors make the topic of regional airport studies one of the most exciting areas of transportation research. In spite of this, there is a lack of a suitable forum where researchers and practitioners can meet to discuss their work. With this in mind, the Wessex Institute of Technology has launched this meeting in collaboration with the University of Reggio Calabria.
