By mid-March a further 250m² was opened up to accommodate the waiting list that had built up, and now that is filling fast! Well over 250 companies will take part in this year’s event, the seventh in the annual series. Both the exhibitor list and the start of the show’s online preview can be found at www.all-energy.co.uk

There are overseas pavilions from Austria, Canada, Denmark, Norway and the USA; the largest ever pavilions from Aberdeen City and Shire, and from the Highlands and Islands area with the addition of a dedicated Orkney area. Individual exhibiting companies come from all over the UK and from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland and the USA. A hydrogen and fuel cell pavilion is a logical extension of the hydrogen and fuel cell stream in the conference.

The free to attend conference also continues to expand. This year in addition to early morning plenary sessions on both days, the UK Energy Minister, Lord Truscott and US Ambassador HE Robert H Tuttle will be amongst the speakers on the opening morning. There are five daily parallel sessions encompassing all sources of renewable energy and the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

These include streams on policy, the power industry’s reaction to the Energy White Paper, onshore and offshore wind, wave and tidal, bioenergy; hydro, microgeneration, carbon capture and storage, the grid, skills opportunities and challenges, supply chain opportunities, market opportunities, renewables for communities, a special session for the farming community, finance and funding, and a two day ‘H207’ hydrogen and fuel cell stream. In all there will be well over 150 speakers taking part during the course of the two days.

All-Energy ’07 is held in association with the British Wind Energy Association and Scottish Renewables Forum. The Society for Underwater Technology is the learned society patron and Aberdeen City Council the host sponsor. Well over 20 key organisations are official supporters of the two day event. H207 is an initiative of the Scottish Hydrogen & Fuel Association, the United Kingdom Hydrogen Association and the USA’s Mountain States Hydrogen Business Council plus a strong list of supporting organisations.

Online registration for All-Energy ‘07 is open at www.all-energy.co.uk. Attendance at the exhibition, conference and the now traditional Giant Networking Evening (23 May) is free of charge to all with a professional involvement with the industry.
