Background
The types of energy we use and how we use them are central factors
in determining to what extent we are moving towards a more
sustainable system.
Our dependence on non-renewable fuel causes pollution and environmental
degradation.
Sustainable development depends on; research and development into
appropriate, cost effective and cost recoverable technologies and;
how these new technologies and new energy systems interact with existing
economic frameworks.

Keynote Speaker Announced
Martin Green
 Martin is currently a Federation Fellow and
Scientia Professor at the University of New South Wales,
Sydney, Australia,
where he founded the University's world-renowned Photovoltaics Centre
of Excellence. He is also a Director of CSG Solar, a company formed
specifically to commercialise the University’s unique thin-film,
poly-crystalline silicon on glass (CSG) solar cell,
now in production in Germany. His group has held the world-record
for silicon cell efficiency,
presently 25%, uninterrupted for almost 20 years. Several of the
group’s
high efficiency technologies are also now in large-scale production.
Former students are scattered around Australia and the world in key
