With the aim of promoting the Korean energy industry and helping people learn more about future energy solutions, the Korea Green Energy Show 2009 will be held at the Convention & Exhibition Center (COEX) in Seoul from Oct. 13 through 16, 2009 under the management of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy and Korea Energy Management Corporation. This year’s show will cover four major sectors; green energy home appliances, low-carbon industrial equipment, renewable energy and green technology and policies.

First held in 1975, the event is now the biggest exhibition in the energy industry in Korea. The show will offer the most effective place to introduce low-carbon and green growth products and technologies. Several events, seminars, workshops and trade meetings will be organized to boost the PR and marketing activities of exhibitors.

On exhibit in the Low-Carbon Industrial Equipment Section will be industrial boilers, pumps, including heat pumps, measuring instruments, waste heat collectors, heat insulating materials, co-generation systems and power analyzers.

With people becoming more and more interested in energy, it is expected visitors will pay more attention to the Renewable Energy Section this year. Visitors will be able to observe new and innovative products related to renewable energy in this section. These products will include home fuel cells, stacks, solar energy invertors, solar energy monitoring systems, modules, cells, junction boxes, trackers, solar heat systems, solar panels, geothermy monitoring system, geothermal heating and cooling systems, wind power generators, tidal power generation systems and other renewable energy equipment and components.
