BALI TO HOST WORLD GEOTHERMAL CONGRESS 2010
Denpasar, Bali Province, Indonesia, Dec. 3 (ANTARA) - Bali will host a World Geothermal Congress at the Bali International Convention Center, Nusa Dua, April 25-30, 2010.
The World Geothermal Congress 2010 would be officially opened by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Dr. Herman Darnel Ibrahim, chairman of the Congress organizing committee, said here on Thursday.
Around 2,500 people including ministers, dignitaries and experts from different countries would take part in the meeting, he said.
Prior to the World Geothermal Congress and Exhibition, the organizing committee will organize courses with 21 lecturers among others from Japan, Indonesia, Australia, France, and New Zealand.
The subjects of the courses will include Drilling, Completion and Testing of Geothermal Wells,Operation of Geothermal Plants, Geothermal Heat Pumps, Financing Geothermal Projects, Reservoir Assessment, and Introduction to Geothermal Energy.
The congress, which is held very five years, was organized for the first time in Italy in 1995, and later in Japan in 2000, and in Turkey in 2005.
The Congress' participants will also have field trips to Indonesia's geothermal sites such as those in West Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and in Bedugul (Tabanan District, Bali Province).
The stage is set for exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences not only on technical and financing aspects but also on policy and global politics of the energy sector.
Highlights of the event include high powered panel discussions, Chief Executive Officer summit, Exhibition and a Bali Declaration by the Congress participants.
The climate change issue and more recently, the energy security concerns triggered by the oil price hike have resulted in geothermal energy resource emerging as a mainstream energy option.
Worldwide geothermal power capacity approached 10GWe at the end of 2006 and is expected to increase by another 2GWe by 2010. In Indonesia more than 1000 MW of geothermal power capacity has been installed.
Approximately 650 papers will be presented verbally in 130 presentation sessions at the congress, and 350 will be presented in the Poster Session. ***
