TIF-HELEXPO: Renewable Energy Tech exhibition on renewables, storage, green and smart energy in Thessaloniki March 14-16, 2024

Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF)-HELEXPO’s unique – for exhibition standards in Europe and beyond – venture to expand into the promising green economy field is continuing and being enriched.

The 2nd Forward Green Circular Economy International Exhibition will be held at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Center March 14 to 16, 2024, while, at the same time, the 1st Renewable Energy Tech, a large-scale, European-standard trade fair exclusively focused on the green and smart energy market, will take place at a separate exhibition space.

As noted in a relevant announcement, Renewable Energy Tech will be staged in collaboration with energypress.gr, the largest news and information portal on energy matters, which also organizes the most important annual conferences on energy, covering all its sub-sectors.

This new exhibition will give the opportunity to dozens of companies, active in Greece and southeast European countries – in the fields of renewable energy, energy storage, hydrogen and “green” gases, electromobility, energy saving, smart management applications and, overall, in the sectors of the green energy economy – to exhibit their products and services and also come into contact with potential partners or competitors.

Renewable Energy Tech, within its framework, will host a major international conference on renewable energy, storage and green technologies, while the exhibition facilities will include specially designed areas for B2B meetings.

The Forward Green and Renewable Energy Tech events promise to serve as the region’s most dynamic exhibition duo for new energy production and consumption standards, as well as for technologies of the future, dramatically changing the economy and everyday life of modern societies.

SEEPE: Energy transition cost significant for petroleum sector

The energy transition is being made at a high cost for the European market as well as market distortion dangers that need to be addressed, officials of SEEPE, the Hellenic Petroleum Marketing Companies Association, have stressed at a news conference.

It is extremely crucial that government policy packages do not allow for exclusions, while also paying attention to the petroleum sector’s sustainability, aligned with the idea of a truly fair and smooth transition, SEEPE officials pointed out.

Close coordination is needed, even internationally, as climate change is a global problem, the association noted, adding that the European market cannot bear the cost of the green transition without significant support in a globally competitive environment.

The petroleum sector will face challenges as a result of the gradual reduction in the number of fuel-powered vehicles by 2035, given the European Commission’s climate change objectives, SEEPE officials noted.

Despite the energy transition challenges, Greek petroleum companies are embracing the energy transition towards carbon neutrality, they added.

Investments will be needed while the petroleum sector’s new commercial strategy, to enable a transition from conventional fossil fuels to eco-friendly fuels, is vital, the SEEPE officials stressed.
