As pointed out by the Director of Centro Stirling, Dr. Javier Aranceta, "during 3 days we will have between us over 80 speakers from 30 different countries on 5 continents." The conference topics range from renewable applications, such as biomass, biogas, geothermal, solar… up to cogeneration, refrigeration and heat pumps, and also markets and industrial applications, new stirling designs, burners, …

Today’s need for cleaner, more efficient forms of energy has given new momentum to the concept of distributed energy generation. External combustion technologies such as Stirling technology have taken on a new dimension.

The conference features a wide range of activities and will bring to companies and organizations an "extraordinary" opportunity for the exchange of expertise among professionals and companies worldwide.

The Stirling technology is currently present in demanding sectors such as aerospace, with applications in the NASA and in the military sector. Events such as this Congress attempt to bring these technologies to other applications such as the nearest market or industrial consumption.
