The International
Conference on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (International
Conference on Utilities and Exhibition) – ICUE 2020
follows the series of ICUE conferences organized by the Asian Institute of
Technology since 2006, and has the theme – Energy, Environment and
Climate Change for its 2020 edition. This conference will bring
researchers, academicians, private sector, business, industry, policy
personnel, nongovernmental organisations, international and regional
institutions, consulting agencies and research scholars/students to present
their recent research and findings, share their experiences and exchange
their experiences, and provide a platform for networking and discuss new
opportunities for collaborative research and outreach.
Past editions of ICUE conferences are well-attended by delegates from at least 35
countries around the globe and with conference proceedings published in IEEE Xplore. Special Highlights of
ICUE 2020: ·
Plenary / Keynote presentations ·
Paper presentations ·
Best Students Paper and Presentation Awards ·
Special topics sessions ·
Discussion forums, exhibitions, trainings/workshops ·

Scope: The ICUE 2020 conference will focus on three areas of current global
concerns and challenges – energy, environment and
climate change. The list of conference topics are available at
this link and also listed below. A. Energy In the energy area, the technical, economic, and social
dimensions of energy utilization, its effect to the environment and to
climate change will be covered. The topics to be included are (but not
limited to): ·
Recent trends in renewable (Green) energy systems
(RES), such as wind power, hydropower, solar energy, biomass, biofuel,
geothermal energy, wave energy, tidal energy, hydrogen & fuel cells ·
Energy storage principles, trends and technologies ·
Recent trends in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural
gas) technologies ·
Power devices, driving circuits, control techniques for
renewable energy systems ·
RESs in smart grid ·
Grid interactive systems in hybrid RESs ·
Hybrid RESs with/without fossil-based technologies ·
Smart cities and transportation ·
Electric power generation, transmission and
distribution ·
Power system design, operation and interconnection ·
Power system optimization, planning and analysis ·
Energy infrastructures ·
Greening the industrial sector’s energy use and options ·
Reliability and maintenance in RESs ·
Policies and strategies for promoting RESs ·
Public awareness and education on RESs ·
Energy efficiency in building designs ·
Energy policies for improving energy access promoting
renewable energy, energy efficiency, and GHG mitigation ·
New directions for energy policies in the context of
rapid digitalization, application of artificial intelligence, big data and
data analytics ·
Green financing, green economy initiatives ·
New business and financial models for energy projects ·
Energy and sustainable development goals (SDGs) ·
Trade-off and synergies of SDG goal 7 ·
Tariffs, incentives, and subsidies B. Environment The current major concerns with regard to the
environment include the status and remediation measures through technology
and policy of air, water, and soil pollution, and issues related to waste and
plastic management. Some of the major areas of interest to the conference are
on: ·
Air, water and soil pollution: estimation, technologies
and policies ·
Waste management ·
Plastic pollution and management ·
Environmental management systems and policy ·
Cleaner production ·
Ecosystems, services, accounting and management C. Climate Change Climate change is one of the major threats to human
survival due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The conference will
broadly discuss topics related to climate science, greenhouse gas mitigation
and climate change impacts and adaptation in terms of technology aspects,
policies, case studies, and measures to address the challenges. Some selected
topics could be: ·
Greenhouse gas mitigation and climate change ·
CO2 capture and sequestration ·
Economics of climate change ·
Accounting of greenhouse gases ·
Deep carbonization ·
Climate policy assessment (progress and analysis of
Nationally Determined Contributions, NDCs) ·
Carbon market and climate financing ·
Low carbon and climate resilient cities ·
Lifestyle and behavioural change and climate change ·
Climate-energy-water-food nexus: policy and practice ·
Climate change projections: models and methods ·
Climate change impacts and adaptation in water ·
Critical infrastructures and risks |
