The World Future
Energy Summit
“The Davos of green energy”
From the 18th to the 21st of January 2010, ADNEC,
the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre became
the international focal point for defining the future
of the most critical issue facing mankind – the future
of energy. It is somewhat ironic that such an event
was taking place in a small desert Emirate that holds
the sixth largest oil reserves globally and is the
world’s tenth largest oil producer, but therein lays the
foresight of a leadership cognizant of the finite nature
of its hydrocarbon reserves.
An opening ceremony hosted by HH Sheikh
Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince,
kicked off what proved to be an immensely successful
gathering which brought together project developers,
financiers, government delegations and press from all
corners of the globe.
The vast exhibition floor space was occupied by a
variety of national clusters, where companies from
particular countries grouped together to convey their
various national strategies over four days of meetings,
presentations, talks and speeches.
A multitude of topics were dealt with in seminars,
press conferences, Q&A sessions and roundtable
discussions. The issue of how to GF??w&?B&?G??v2&V7W'&??rF?V?R?2vW&R6&&??6GW&R?@?6WVW7G&F?????"?vFW"?Bv7FR?77VW2?gVV?6V??2??w&VV?'V??F??r?f?F????G&?7?'B?&?BvV?W&F????&??gVV?2?BF?R6?'Bw&?B?S`??
