“Our future with green energy”

From 29 September - 1 October 2010, Green Aruba organized a conference and trade fair. The topic of the conference was “Our future with green energy”.

During this conference, international experts in the Energy and Climate Change arena gathered to present the state of the art technologies and share their implementation success, the challenges and opportunities in the Western Hemisphere, the Caribbean Region. Aruba wants to become a centre of knowledge, research and development to facilitate transfer of know-how and technology, and set an example for the rest of the region to contribute in creating solutions for the world’s most challenging energy and climate issues.

The current sustainable energy developments are based on Dutch expertise, that over the years have gained considerable experience in building technologies based on an appreciation of the natural favourable circumstances on Aruba. The Dutch government as well as the Dutch private sector is at the forefront of advancing international climate change responses that have a significant impact.

The aim of the conference was furthermore to invite Dutch, American, Regional and International experts on wind, solar and maritime energy technologies to the Island of Aruba, in order to share knowledge of new and proven technologies in these fields. The conference also aimed to create a platform where knowledge is shared among the different international parties.

Randolph van Eps and Kimberley de l’Isle represented VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne at the conference.
