4th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies ICSET-22 (December-22)
Call for Paper
Paper Submission Deadline 31st August 2022
BACKGROUND OF THE EVENT
Energy is of vital importance to any society today and the future of energy needs to be sustainable in terms of environment and climate as crucial changes are to inevitably happen. Pakistan is challenged by overpopulation, climate change and a weak energy sector. Despite having abundant renewable energy resources, the energy sector has been in dire-straits for over a decade with power shortages and subsequent load shedding for both domestic and industrial entities. The lack of visionary policy, outdated power plants and transmission grid, economic factors, dependency on imported fossil fuels, and weak indigenous technological base are some of the main contributors to the energy crisis in Pakistan. Although the situation has improved considerably over the last couple of years, the generation, transmission and distribution challenges remain and are affecting economic growth of the country.
The future of global energy supply has to be addressed with objectivity and competence. Only an interdisciplinary approach would have the potential to optimize the necessary cooperation and communication in energy research, development and the support for industrial innovation. To address the challenges, US Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Energy (USPCASE) UET Peshawar is organizing the 4th International conference on sustainable energy in Pakistan.
All research articles are going to be selected according to peer review process and accepted papers will be published online on the conference website.
This event will at large benefit us with:
- The widening of our research and scientific base providing us an opportunity to strengthen our scientific and research capacities and capabilities particularly in the areas of sustainable energy technologies.
- This conference will provide a platform to share the best scientific knowledge with the objective to enhance the national/international co-operation and to identify the relative challenges in the development and application of advanced energy materials, technologies and policies.
- This platform is also expected to provide an interaction opportunity between the researchers/scientists and the entrepreneurs aiming to bring innovation in energy conservation and sustainable practices.
- This event will also promote the participation of people in setting priorities and in decision-making relating to the sustainable process development.
