Green technology main topic for ministerial roundtable

PUTRAJAYA: The importance of green technology application in handling environmental and climate change issues will be the main topic at a roundtable here involving energy ministers from the region and beyond, in September.


Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said as of July 17, ministers from India, Algeria, Singapore, Brunei and Cambodia have confirmed their attendance at the roundtable on Sept 8, which is held in conjunction with the 2011 International Green Tech & Eco-Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM).

The four-day IGEM, from Sept 7, will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Chin expects Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Indonesia to confirm in the near future.

"IGEM's theme this year is 'A Green New Deal: The Next Frontier.' Apart from creating consumer and industrial awareness on the application of green technology, the event also encourages the development of entrepreneurs in the field through business to business promotions," he said after the ministry's monthly gathering here Tuesday.

A total of 282 exhibitors have registered as of July 18 and 222 more have booked their places, he said.

Twenty-five local and international speakers have confirmed the presentation of their conference working papers with the topic "Green Business: the Economy of the Future."

IGEM is divided into three sections - exhibition, conference and ministerial roundtable. - Bernama

    hmm.... if you support green energy (including the nuclear plant), you should support nuclear plant in malaysia. Sorry if my view is wrong.

    We currently waste too much energy! Use high efficiency appliances and plant more trees, am sure we can easily remove 30-40% of waste energy on the grid.
    Nuclear power plant not necessary just concentrate on Conservation of energy.
