After Lisbon, the second Global Clean Energy Forum (GCEF) is being held on 15^th and 16^th of June, 2011 at Hotel Arts Barcelona, Marina 19-21, Barcelona, Spain. The International Herald Tribune’s Business of Green Series had set the goals since 2007 which finally materialised on 30th September and 1^st October, 2010. This is the central meeting point of businessmen and scientists dealing with renewable energy.

Green energy needs special mention here as the whole event is based on it. The only way our future generation will be able to enjoy and use resources is through green energy as it promotes renewable energy sources  like hydroelectricity, solar energy and the like. With the current depletion of non renewable resources our only hope rests in the hands of clean energy.

Let’s talk a little about renewable energy technologies.

• Industrial Revolution at the beginning of 20^th century brought about technologies like hydropower, biomass combustion and geothermal power which are still used far and wide. These consist the 1^st generation of technology.
• The second generation technology has been sustaining due to the ongoing research and development. The core being wind energy, bio energy and solar photovoltaic.
• The 3^rd generation of technology haven’t been used commercially. They are still at the testing phase. They play with advanced solar thermal power and bio refinery technologies. Nanotechnology belongs to this generation of technology.

The objectives of the second GCEF are:
