  Finding clean, sustainable, sources of energy is one of the biggest challenges facing mankind.  At present, and for the foreseeable future, it seems unlikely that there will be a single solution to this challenge, so it must be met by a number of approaches - including energy from waste, hydro, wind, and tidal power, solar, nuclear (fission/fusion) and bio-fuels as well as making the most effective and clean use of remaining fossil fuel resources.   This one day international seminar looks at the vital role that filtration plays in enabling a number of these approaches.
