 |
Berlin, Germany, Monday, December 08, 2008 -- (Business Wire India) --
As part of the TREE scholarship program engineers and decision makers
from a total of 14 countries in South America, Asia and Africa are being
invited by the German Renewables Academy (www.renac.de)
to seminars on renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and
climate protection. The objective of the TREE project (www.tree-project.de)
is to disseminate knowledge with the aim of advancing global climate
protection, in line with the agreements of the Kyoto Protocol process.
The project was initiated by RENAC and is being supported by the
International Climate Protection Initiative of the German Federal
Ministry for the Environment.
The TREE scholarships will be awarded to key players in their respective
countries; those who are responsible for the creation of the political
and business foundations or for actual implementations. Within just a
few weeks of the announcement of the project RENAC has received over 800
applications, coming from energy ministries, leading business and energy
associations, research institutions, non-governmental organizations and
business enterprises. "The program is aimed at those participants, who
can apply the acquired knowledge in the best possible way in their
careers" said Berthold Breid, founder and CEO of RENAC. In the TREE
seminars, the participants will also have the opportunity to converse
with the representatives from the other countries, allowing them to
learn from each other's experiences.
Germany has many years of expertise in the implementation of renewable
energy projects. Through this knowledge transfer, it will be able to
make a contribution to accelerating the global development of
climate-friendly infrastructures for energy supply. The TREE seminars
are based on a phased concept: from December 2008 to June 2009 one-week
introductory and advanced seminars will take place in the RENAC Training
Center in Berlin. Throughout 2009 there will be further online courses,
together with the opportunity for individual consultation with the RENAC
energy experts.
The Renewables Academy, based in Berlin, offers education and training
in renewable energy and energy efficiency in an international context.
In the courses held in English participants can acquire both technical
and non-technical knowledge.
