Topics/Call fo Papers

It is my great pleasure to extend my greetings to all of you and to welcome you to the IEEE Green Technologies Conference, which will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, April 19-20, 2012.

We are facing many challenges today. Human activities have increased atmospheric CO2 levels, the chief global warming pollutant, by nearly 40% since pre-industrial levels. The resulting climatic changes are far from trivial: more intense storms, more pronounced droughts, coastal areas more severely eroded by rising seas. On the other hand, world energy consumption has risen 45% since 1980 and it is projected to be 70% higher by 2030. Green technology can make the air easier to breathe and the water safer. Over time, green technology promises to make our lives healthier and our earthly resources more sustainable. The most successful green technologies will enable us to consume less, not more, and optimize energy inputs at a lower cost. With the advent of geothermal technology, solid-oxide fuel cells, bio-fuels and advancements in wind, solar and other renewable energies, green technology will greatly benefit our environment and positively impact society.

IEEE-USA, Region 5, the Tulsa Section and the Oral Roberts University take great pride in sponsoring the 2012 Green Technologies Conference.

The IEEE Green Technologies Conference aims to bring together scientists, researchers and practitioners from the industry around the world to develop realistic solutions to address the current energy crisis and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases. It also provides a platform for interdisciplinary interaction among scientists and engineering professionals, faculty and students.

The conference will be held at the Hilton Tulsa Southern Hills at Tulsa.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank The IEEE Region 5 Executive Committee, the Section, Student Branch officers and volunteers who have worked hard to provide programs and service of value to the conference. I look forward to meeting you at the conference and wish all the participants a pleasant stay in Tulsa.

Sophie X. Liu
General Chair - IEEE Green Technologies Conference
