Abstract
Please make your abstract and paper according to the following format. Abstract ONLY

Mission Statement
At no time in modern history has energy
played a more crucial role in the development
and well being of nations than at
present. The source and nature of energy,
the security of supply and the equity of
distribution, the environmental impact of
its supply and utilization, are all crucial
matters to be addressed by suppliers, consumers,
governments, industry, academia,
and financial institutions.
The World Renewable Energy Congress
(WREC), a major recognised forum for
networking between these sectors, addresses
these issues through regular meetings
and exhibitions, bringing together
representatives of all those involved in
the supply, distribution, consumption and
development of energy sources which are
benign, sustainable, accessible and economically
viable. WREC enables policy
makers, researchers, manufacturers, economists,
financiers, sociologists, environmentalists
and others to present their views
in Plenary and Technical Sessions and to
participate in discussions, both formal and
informal, thus facilitating the transfer of
knowledge between nations, institutions,
disciplines and individuals.
