On May 3rd at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, Vancouver, Canada, the Pacific Energy Innovation Association and its sponsors held their 3rd biennial Charting Our Energy Future Forum 2004  on:

Addressing Climate Change – Issues & Solutions

Forum 2004 was a dialogue.  On one side were the agencies, government service representatives, and experienced innovative entrepreneurs who regularly support and serve the development and commercialization of new technologies and the economic development of communities and regions.  On the other side were researchers, scientists, manufacturers, and project developers as the innovators, entrepreneurs, and producers of energy supply and efficiency technologies.

The dialogue continues, bringing together, again, those exciting and promising groups and individuals who participated in PEIA Forums 2000 and 2002 to provide an update about their enterprises, and to speak directly with those service and support providers able to offer assistance immediately and in the short-term. 

PEIA Forum 2004 crafted a “crucible” by inviting people doing research, development and technology applications to meet with those who want and are prepared to provide assistance and support now.  PEIA Forum 2004 has documented its proceedings in a  Synopsis (pdf); prepared an Action Plan, and produced material for educational programs, industry, agencies and communities who offer action-oriented training related to Climate Change.

PEIA Directors continue to volunteer their services as speakers and presenters of the Action Plan to industry associations, community organizations, schools, and other interested groups.
