National Conferene on Recent Trends in Alternate Energy At National Institute of Technology, Calicut

Objective

The increasing depletion of earth’s natural recourses has forced scientists to find the sources of alternate energy. Considering the energy security and the global environment, there is a vital need to develop non-polluting energy from renewable sources, could substitute non-renewable fossil fuels.

Alternative energy is important because fossil fuels exist in limited reserves. Moreover, the consumption of fossil fuels is associated with unsavory environmental and medical consequences. The rising oil import bill is causing various nations to actively explore alternative forms of energy. in a bid to buoy up their respective economies. Several types of alternative energy are easily available, commercially viable and practically applicable. The energy scenario of the world over can be expected to turn much more variegated, innovative and conscious of environmental concerns in the times to come.

The main objectives are

* Explore the right technologies to provide a reliable supply of energy to the world, making their use more efficient.
* To find the most cost effective way of producing alternate energy in an environmentally friendly way.
* Inspire new energy strategies that devote attention to the rational development of alternatives so that their use can be increased at a realistic pace.
* To exchange the experience of researchers & technocrats to develop solutions for the tremendous challenges present in energy market.
