Workshop Presentation Handouts Available for Download

The 2009 International Wind-Diesel Workshop brought together a focused group of interested parties — government, private industry and non-governmental organizations — with experience and interest in wind-diesel.

Sponsors

Special thanks to all of the conference sponsors and endorsing partners who helped to make the 2009 Wind Diesel Workshop a success! Their support enabled us to bring together individuals, companies and organizations with an active interest in furthering the application of wind diesel systems. More on our sponsors »

Workshop Agenda and Presentations

Furthering the successes of past workshops, the 2009 workshop provided a great environment to share experiences, discuss the future of wind-diesel in Canada and internationally, and to showcase specific projects, companies and products.  

The topics covered during the presentations and panel sessions ranged from technical discussions of available systems and recent innovations, to more policy-oriented sessions regarding the challenges of promoting wind-diesel in Canada and other jurisdictions.
