Waste Management, Recycling, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy South-East European Forum  

28–30 March 2012, Sofia, Bulgaria

The Early Bird Registration is running till 30 Jan!

The European Commission accepted recently an Energy Roadmap 2050 which aims a very high share of RES in gross final energy consumption (75% in 2050) and a share of RES in electricity consumption reaching 97%. The other ambitious target is the landfills to be banned in 9 years - about 3 billion euro per year is the value of materials which can be got from reuse.

South-East Europe will be a part of this world green transformation. The renewable energy and waste sectors in the Region are in need of new expertise, technology and equipment.
