The International Conference on the Use of Alternative Energy Sources in Turkmenistan was conducted in Ashgabat on the initiative and under the patronage of President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The forum organized by the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan brought together the leading scientists from 27 countries worldwide including academicians, correspondent members of the academies of sciences and professors, the heads of the higher educational institutions from the United States, Austria, Japan, China, Korea, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Spain and many other countries. The heads of the International Solar Energy Center for Technology Promotion and Transfer and the International Solar Energy Society, the representatives of the Europa House in Turkmenistan, the UN Development Program and a number of the foreign companies participate in the conference. Turkmenistan was represented by the scientists and specialists of the research institutes affiliated with the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, the research and design institutes, the higher educational institutions and core organizations at the conference.
Our country with abundant oil and natural gas reserves ranks among the largest energy exporters in the world. Nevertheless, with a view to fostering social and economic development, preserving natural resources, achieving the ecological wellbeing for the future generations the strategic trends in the policy of the Turkmen state included the development of new industries consuming alternative sources of energy. Thus, the wide-scale research and efficient adoption of innovative technologies and latest engineering thought in this field acquire particular significance today.
The alternative energy conference was conducted at the Turkmen State Institute of Transport and Communication, which had recently moved to a new wonderful building. An exposition presenting the research results gained by the institutes affiliated to the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan and Turkmen scientists’ achievements anticipated the forum opening ceremony.
President of Turkmenistan welcomed participants of international scientific forum in Ashgabat and expressed belief that the outcomes of the conference would be an important step to develop and apply alternative energy technologies in industry. “The constructive fulfillment of this task in the spirit of modern requirements and realities through the efforts of a particular state is impossible. From this viewpoint we pay special attention to such a critical vector of our science policy as establishing and enhancing fruitful cooperation with the leading research centers of the world,” the Turkmen leader said.
The conference participants presented the concrete examples of advanced updated technologies for converting net energy of hydrogen, biogas through the combined use of the solar and wind energy. In particular, they reviewed reliable and power efficient units and apparatuses widely used in the transport, fuel and energy sectors for producing and refining oil and gas, heat pump technologies, which were effectively used at municipal enterprises, shopping and cultural centers, sports and other facilities.
It was noted that the substantial potential of wind and solar energy and the specificity of power, heat and water supply in the natural zones of Turkmenistan, 80% of the territory of which is occupied by the desert and mountains, created all prerequisites for the development of the industry producing helio complexes, which would meet the needs of the population residing and working in remote districts, first of all.
Development of Turkmenistan electric power industry, and renewable energy in particular, will be the primary target of the 3rd International exhibition and scientific conference «The Basic Trends of Development of Electric Power Industry of Turkmenistan 2010» to be held on October 1-3, 2010.
