The international scientific conference titled "Issues related to the use of alternative energy sources in Turkmenistan" started in Ashgabat. The conference brought together guests from 27 countries.
The list of foreign participants feature scientists, members of the Academies of Sciences, heads of universities, research organizations and companies, representatives of the International Solar Energy Center, the International Council of Solar Energy and others.
"We view alternative energy sources, rightly referred to as "energy of the future", as a priority area for the further modernization of the national fuel and energy complex," President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov stressed in his welcoming address to the forum participants.
Speaking about prospects of "green technologies" in Turkmenistan, he noted that "the range of use of alternative sources of energy in the active development of desert areas adjacent to the man-made sea in the Karakum desert - the Turkmen Lake, as well as the implementation of such large-scale project as the establishment of the national tourist zone Avaza on the Caspian Sea coast will be significantly expanded."
