The Asian Energy Youth Summit - organised by the non-profit organisation Energy Carta - is an example of doing something about the climate-change challenge.

Speakers at the event which takes place in Singapore on 30-31 October (please click the link at the top of this post for the full PDF) include Shai Agassi of Project Better Place and Stefan Mueller, Asia Pacific managing director of Conergy.

What's heartening is that a chemicals engineering undergraduate at the National University of Singapore is one of the founders of Energy Carta. The chemicals industry is part of the problem and can hugely reshape its image for the better by being part of the solution.

Hi John,

Thanks for blogging about the Asian Youth Energy Summit. We have just updated and our conference website is at http://www.AYES2008.com

I definitely agree that the chemicals industry can do alot more to be efficient less energy intensive. As a chemical engineer, I believe that a multidisciplinary approach is a good way to tackle such issues.

I look forward to seeing how Energy Carta can come in for this as well.

Cheers!
Adrian
