ASPO VII in Barcelona
In the last ASPO gathering in Cork, Ireland, the 6th ASPO international conference, it was agreed to organize the 7th in Barcelona, Spain.

The event will take place on October 20th and 21st, 2008 at the convention centre facilities at Barcelona’s World Trade Center de Barcelona. AEREN-ASPO Spain has already received preliminary support and sponsorship from the Institut Català de l’Energía (ICAEN) a public body within the government of Catalonia, as well as from the Instituto de la Salud, Trabajo, Ambiente y Salud (ISTAS) anf the European Climate Forum.

AEREN-ASPO SPAIN estimates an attendance of some 400-plus delegates from all over the world: geologists, scientists, politicians, businesspeople and citizens interested in the subject of Peak Oil and Gas.

English will be the official language for the conference with translation services into Spanish and Catalan also provided.
The conference in Barcelona will follow the same schedule as the previous meetings: four main sessions in two days, each with a panel discussion and open debates between the speakers and attendants.



PROGRAM

The program for the VII Annual International ASPO Conference is completed.

During the two-day conference we will have the opportunity to approach the problem of peak oil from two points of view. The geological point of view (below ground) and the "above ground" point of view: geopolitical, technologic and economic . Thdifference between these two outlooks recognises that although it is geology that will ultimately determine the future of the extraction of oil and other hydrocarbons, the impact of geopolitics and the economic influence on demand, as well as technological developments, will be powerful factors in shaping the transition to other energy systems.
