Jointly Organized with OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY STILLWATER, USA Partially Funded by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), NPIU - TEQIP-IIIINTRODUCTION ‘The International Renewable Energy Utilization Conference (ICREU) has been one of the premier conferences in the domain area of renewable eneray since 2012. Itisa biennial conference providing a platform for researchers and engineers from academia, industry and utlty to exchange their knowledge, expertise and experience, With the success rate of past three editions of ICREU (2012, 2014, 2016), the most awaited 4” edition is now started to kindle your participation in saving our universe trom Global warming, Continuous and reliable supply of energy at an affordable services and costs primarily required to cater the lving standards of lleconomic, sections especially for the residential,commercial, industrial and transport sectors inthe modern society. ‘Tne moder civilization has become increasingly reliant on fossil fuels lke oil, coal and natural gas, producing Greenhouse gases and is believed to be responsible for global warming. Since 2015, environmental challenges were the main focus globally tis now clear that any effort to maintain atmospheric eves of CO, below 550 ppm cannot be based fundamentally on an oll and coal-powered global economy, barring radical carbon sequestration efforts, The significant role of the renewable eneray system isto make a substantial contribution in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and to improve the diversification together with other technologies for future sustainable development. In the futute, the amount and proportion of renewable energy generation is sett rise, largely because of government policies and programmes to support the renewable energy based power generation To address the driving factors in renewable energy utlzation, the fourth elton of tis International Conference emphasize onthe integrated polices and management practices to be adopted and stimulate the debate on the removal of barriers in their utilization. The outcome of International Conference on Renewable Energy Utilization (ICREU 2018) and its folow-up actives wil be taken to reach achievable agreements tomake sustainable environment by integrating renewable energy systems with energy efficiency, on how such international know-how technology transfer should best be organized, to devote strong implementation of special programmes and research projects to promote Clean Developrnent ‘Mechanism (CDM). The theme of ICREU 2018 i to promote Clean Development Mechanism (COM) with the development of smart and effective technologies. VISION To develop innovative tools for creation of commodious ite without environmental camages by focusing on energy efficient renewable energy sources inal future energy related initiatives. MISSION ‘This conference is intended to focus on “Green Energy Networking” between eneray professionals, environmentaliss, researchers, energy policy makers, government organizations, and energy ficient product developers with unique opportunity to exchange innovative intellectual ideas and latest developments in renewable energy systems. The conference will certainly prove for every one with many optimal solutions for energy sustainability and economically viable renewable alternatives, HOST INSTITUTION ‘The V.
