The international energy trade fair RENEXPO®will continue to build on its strong points in 2012 and expand on them with new innovative topics. The event will focus on sustainable energy systems and solutions for a sustainable and future oriented energy supply. The trade fair, conference and accompanying program offer a showcase for the entire spectrum of regenerative and decentralized energy production, intelligent energy distribution as well as the efficient use of energy. The RENEXPO®has developed into one of the most important energy trade fairs in Europe over the last twelve years. In 2011, over 350 exhibitors, 15,000 visitors and around 1,000 conference participants helped make the event a record breaking success. The range of topics presented at the event reflects the current demands and developments of the energy industry and gives a comprehensive overview of regenerative and decentralized energy production, intelligent energy distribution and energy efficiency. The main trade fair themes include wood energy (IHE®WoodEnergy), cogeneration (interCogen®), solar technology and energy efficient construction and renovation.
