Frontier Energy Resources Symposium (FER-2008) at
ISOPE-2008 Conference, Vancouver, July 2008
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, October 20, 2007 ― The 1st ISOPE Frontier Energy Resources Symposium — FER-2008 Vancouver will be held at the 18th International Offshore (Ocean) and Polar Engineering Conference & Exhibition ¾ ISOPE-2008 Vancouver, at Sheraton Vancouver Wall Center Hotel, July 6-11, 2008. The Conference as well as the symposium is sponsored by International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE)
ISOPE Frontier Energy Resources (FER) Symposium will focus on the range of alternative energy sources other than conventional fossil fuels such as oil and gas. These alternative sources are receiving a great deal of attention, span a wide range of origin, and, like fossil fuels are also not evenly distributed around the world.
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a timely forum to provide the state-of-the-art knowledge in the business outlook and technology in the development of these resources. The symposium, the first of its kind in ISOPE, is envisioned to consist of prominent speakers who are leading authorities in the respective fields to discuss the status, issues and challenges in the various types of Frontier Energy Resources.
