WASHINGTON (9 October 2008) -- The first IEEE Green Technology Conference will examine alternative energy sources and energy-reduction technologies and their potential for helping the world meet its growing demand for energy, while reducing carbon emissions. Conference organizers are seeking technical papers on current and emerging technologies in environmentally friendly energy sources, and on ways to better manage our energy resources.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE and presented at the 2009 IEEE Green Technology Conference (www.ieeegreentech.org) at the Holiday Inn Hotel Towers in Lubbock, Texas, USA, 16-17 April 2009. The conference will precede the annual IEEE Region 5 Meeting.

Topics of interest include the technical and policy challenges of renewable energy sources; alternative vehicle power sources; home automation and energy management; commercial energy management strategies; energy usage reduction; and integration of green energy sources into the existing power grid. The social and economic implications of renewable and reduced carbon emission energy sources will also be examined.

Alternative energy keynote speakers will address these challenges, as will panel discussions and presentations on technology advances.

With increasing concerns about fossil fuel costs, supplies and emissions, people the world over are more closely examining the commercial viability of other energy sources. These include solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydro and biomass, among others, as well as alternative vehicle power sources such as fuel cells, gasoline and liquid natural gas electric hybrids and plugin hybrid electric vehicles.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts by 31 December 2008. Accepted authors will be notified 31 January 2009, and full 8-page papers in the IEEE conference format are due by 1 March 2009.
