Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit at London on Clean Energy

The world’s clean energy and carbon market investors, industry executives and policy-makers will address the many issues facing the sector at the third annual Bloomberg (News - Alert) New Energy Finance Summit in London March 17 to March 19.

 

Bloomberg New Energy Finance is an independent provider of news, data, research and analysis to decision-makers in renewable energy, carbon markets, energy smart technologies, carbon capture and storage, and nuclear power.

 

Duke Energy’s James E. Rogers and Kunihiko Shimada of Japan’s environment ministry will discuss the implications of December’s climate change conference at Copenhagen, prospects for progress on emission reductions in 2010. Also, government “green stimulus” programs and clean energy incentive policies will be discussed.

 

“Clean energy finds itself at a fascinating juncture, despite the disappointment of Copenhagen, there is a good chance we will see record investment worldwide this year, as capital markets recover, the economics of projects improve and stimulus funds flow,” stated Michael Liebreich, chief executive of Bloomberg’s New Energy Finance group.

 

“However, there are also concerns over policy for the medium term, the global economy, and the world’s ability to take concerted action to reduce emissions,” added Liebreich.

 

Participants include Andrew Brandler, CEO of CLP; Jos Delbeke, deputy director-general for the environment, European Commission; Ambassador Jongyong Kim, ambassador for energy and resources for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Republic of Korea; Caio Koch-Weser, vice chairman of Deutsche Bank; Katrina Landis, CEO of BP Alternative Energy; James E. Rogers, chairman, president and CEO of Duke Energy; Kunihiko Shimada, principal international negotiator for the Ministry of the Environment, Japan; David Vieau, president and CEO of A123 Systems, and others.

 

The Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit will focus on how market participants, countries and sectors are responding to the challenges of economic recession and recovery; how clean energy investors are working on their business models according to the market conditions; how incumbent companies in oil, gas, coal and nuclear are responding; how policy-makers are working for future, and more such issues.
