10:30 AM - 11:15 AM VENDOR PRESENTATION

11:15 AM - 11:30 AM COFFEE / TEA BREAK

11:30 AM - 12:15 PM SOLAR ENERGY

Ÿ What we can do about the photovoltaic cells? Crystalline silicon; the dirtiest of all fossil fuels?
Ÿ Why the domestic manufacturing industry of solar PV cells and modules is severely lacking in
Asia?
n Lack of Infrastructure n Killed Workforce n High cost of production

Ÿ Solar Energy Challenges in Asia is the scarcity of land to install large-scale ground-mount solar
systems. What are we doing about it?
Ÿ How can we solve the scope for greater R&D and innovation for increased tenfold in terms of
installation?

Er. Jaideep N. Malaviya

Managing Directors, Malaviya Solar Energy Consultancy
Founder and Secretary, Solar Thermal Federation of India (STFI)

12:15 PM - 1:00 PM SOLAR ENERGY

Ÿ Asian government enforces one of the lowest solar tariff which further leads to compromise in the
quality of solar panels which needs to be addressed?
Ÿ What can be done considering key for restricting the growth of the solar industry is the lack of
managing solar waste?
Ÿ How we can restrict or manage solar technology that contains many of the same hazardous
materials as electronics?
Ÿ What we can do with the problem of disposing the hazardous waste?

Munira Sultana

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Networking Lunch

2:00 PM - 2:45 PM WIND ENERGY

Ÿ How wind projects may not be cost-competitive in some locations?
Ÿ What is the role of the next-generation technology?
Ÿ How can the manufacturing improvements directly relate to wind power plants in Asia?
Ÿ What made wind physics can help bring costs down even more and how?
Ÿ Wind plant ideal wind sites are often in remote locations and not in urban areas?
Ÿ What can be done with the turbines that produce noise and alter visual aesthetics?
Ÿ How can we reduce the impact of wildlife? Yet not zero

HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
Ÿ Why hydropower has limited places in the Asia suitable for plant construction?
Ÿ How can restrict the plants to die as they release large quantities of carbon and methane?
Ÿ While dams are built at higher elevations, they pose a serious risk to any town below it?
Alessandro Romaioli
Project Manager Coordinator,
Frosio Next SrL
VENDOR PRESENTATION
COFFEE / TEA BREAK
HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
Ÿ What we can do to hydropower which is a renewable source of energy but there are usually
environmental impacts associated with building the power plants?
Ÿ How can we pump storage of hydropower which can affect the natural flow of the river system?
Ÿ What to do when most of the hydropower energy relies heavily on river water while in the case
of droughts will cause an impact on the overall electric production, which can impact the
capacity of hydroelectricity?
Ÿ How can design the plant to give adequate space for the fish from reaching their breeding
ground?
Jiban Chandra Kakoti
General Manager, (Hydro Engineering)
National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Ÿ What to do with geothermal energy in minor concerns in regards to the environment no matter
its reputation of being an environmentally friendly alternative energy source?
Ÿ Is there the things can eliminate or restrict greenhouse gases like hydrogen sulfide, carbon
dioxide, methane and ammonia?
Ÿ How can we make it possible to harvest more geothermal energy in future?
Ÿ What can be done to the disadvantage is the high initial cost for individual households? Looking
at Global market currently for geothermal energy resources?
Ÿ How can the Asian market ensure the geothermal systems hard to be implemented for
homeowners in big cities?
NETWORKING LUNCH
BIOENERGY
Ÿ Can the current situation become non-renewable energy if the biomass feedstock are not
replenished as quickly as used?
Ÿ How can the biomass development that requires land especially in the agricultural land to
develop but not compromise the aspect of growing food or provide natural habitats?
Ÿ How can the forested areas be sustainably cut, re-planted, and given time to grow and sequester
the trees regrowth, the advantages of using the wood for fuel do not offset carbon?
Ÿ Biomass plants require a lot of space:
§ How can the challenges that we address to find a plant that is in a convenient place in an
urban area?
