Ninth International Conference on Energy Research and Development (ICERD – 9)

The objective of the conference is to optimize the utilization of basic energy resources in the major energy consuming sectors in the arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula.

The world can no longer sustain its current pattern of energy consumption. With climate change becoming increasingly urgent, it is imperative that we all adopt effective energy conservation practices. This challenge is even more pressing in regions with high ambient temperatures, where cooling demands can be extreme—air conditioning alone accounts for up to 70% of energy usage during peak cooling seasons.”

To confront this crisis, we must embrace cleaner alternative energy sources and implement conservation strategies in ways that are open, inclusive, and pragmatic. Ninth International Conference on Energy Research and Development (ICERD 9) will serve as a vital platform, uniting stakeholders from across sectors to collaboratively address this crucial issue and chart a path toward a sustainable energy future,” said Walid Chakroun, Conference Chair.

The conference related to the latest research and development in the field of energy is divided into four parts: oral presentations and discussions of accepted papers; lectures by distinguished invited speakers in the energy field; a panel discussion with experts and decision-makers to generate research ideas for sustainable energy use; and a showcase of products and innovations from energy companies in Kuwait and the Gulf region.

The topics will include but are not limited to:

• Energy Conversion and Management.
• Energy Conservation.
• Fuels and Alternatives.
• Energy Policy and Planning.
• Combined and Co-generation Energy Systems.
• Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Systems.
• Energy & Environmental Issues.
• Energy and Sustainable Development.
• Renewable Energy Technologies.
• Energy Storage.
• Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics.
• Thermodynamic Optimization and Exergy Analysis
• Plant and Facilities Mechanical Integrity
• Emerging Energy Technology
