Power Plant Congress
From 10 - 12 May 2004, the international congress "Innovative Technologies for Generating Electricity - towards zero emission coal fired and gas power plants" was held in Berlin. The congress was organised by "Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena)" and "Landesinitiative Zukunftsenergien NRW" which were commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour and the Ministry of Traffic, Energy and Planning of the Federal State of North-Rhine-Westphalia. Support was given by the associations: VGB PowerTech e.V., Gesamtverband des deutschen Steinkohlenbergbaus (GVSt, association of German hard coal mining), Deutscher Braunkohlen- Industrie-Verein e.V. (DEBRIV, German association of brown coal industry) and European Power Plant Suppliers’ Association (EPPSA).
You can find the complete programme of the congress at the URL www.kraftwerkskongress.de. For a limited time span, the presentations can be downloaded from this site.
