On September 13 & 14, 2012 OREG (The Ocean Renewable Energy Group) will hold their 2012 Annual Conference “Turning Potential Into Reality” at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
This year’s event will bring together industry, government, academia, suppliers, utilities, and other related sectors to network, learn, and share ideas on how to realize the potential of Canada’s growing marine renewable energy sector. The two-day conference will feature action planning work sessions in addition to our usual updates on progress by sector leaders, and networking opportunities intended to help build connections and support emerging industry needs.

Great site, keep it up!
I just wanna say that your website is great. If you post more like this, I’ll follow your weblog to read more about renewable energy events.
With its large landmass and active forest and agricultural industries, Canada has access to large and diversified biomass resources that can be used for energy production. Currently, bioenergy is the second most important form of renewable energy in Canada. In fact, bioenergy represents about 5 percent of Canada’s total primary energy.
Marine renewable energy (MRE) has the potential to contribute to Nova Scotia’s energy needs, reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, and provide economic opportunities at the local level. Thanks to its rich heritage of ocean knowledge and innovation, along with the natural advantage of tides the highest and fastest tides on the planet, Nova Scotia is well-placed to become global player in this emerging energy industry.
