Solar World Congress 2007

The topic human settlement is a challange for all renewable energy technologies. Solar Food Processing is still not well known and treated as a little child. We have some impressive examples and it is important that we show that Solar Food Processing is on the way to become a "grow-up" !!

Therefore: Submit a paper with shining examples and give solar cooking and food conservation a louder voice...

After the Solar World Congresses 2003 (SWC2003) in Gothenburg, Sweden and 2005 (SWC2005) in Orlando, USA, and the celebration of the 50th anniversary of ISES in the same year, the International Solar Energy Society and the Chinese Solar Energy Society warmly welcome you to the ISES Solar World Congress 2007 (SWC2007) in Beijing, China, from September 18 to 21, 2007.

China with its huge population and vast area, while in some parts still poverty-stricken and lacking basic supplies such as water and electricity, is one of world's biggest producers and consumers of energy. The economic miracle that has set the country on a trajectory of unheard-of growth puts its energy industry in the difficult position of having to face both insufficient energy supply and an ever more ardent need to engage in environmental protection. There is no way out of this predicament than to change the means of energy production, improve the efficiency with which energy is used, and adjust the overall energy structure, especially with a view to further incorporating solar energy and other renewable energies. Within the frameworks of such a new system of sustainable development, both economic growth and environmental protection will be compatible.
