The UK's largest renewable energy event takes place at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre this week.

All-Energy 2013 will attract more than 8,000 visitors to the city and cement the region's reputation as a leader in the renewables and energy industry. Hundreds of exhibitors, including organisations from the city and Aberdeenshire, as well as from overseas, are participating in the event which will hear from hundreds of speakers in the conference and seminars.

Lord Provost of Aberdeen George Adam will give an introductory speech at the annual two-day event tomorrow [Wednesday].

As a long-standing supporter of All-Energy, Aberdeen City Council continues to support the AREG Aberdeen City and Shire pavilion at the exhibition to ensure Aberdeen's high profile in the industry sector is maintained.

The pavilion will feature local businesses, demonstrating the region's leading capabilities in renewable energy innovation, skills and supply chain solutions. Aberdeen City Council will have two stands on the pavilion: one promoting the development opportunities available in the city, the Energetica Corridor, and the EU-funded MUSIC Project, which aims to halve carbon emissions in Aberdeen by 2030; the other is dedicated to hydrogen projects and plans.

Council leader Barney Crockett said: "The week of the All-Energy conference is always a very busy and exciting time in Aberdeen, with delegates flying in from across the globe and bringing in a phenomenal wealth of expertise across all aspects of the energy industry to complement our energy city's leading renewables knowledge-base.

"Huge amounts of business are done during All-Energy and it presents great opportunities to attract new investment in Aberdeen, while establishing new links and building on existing partnerships.

"This year the council has taken its own stand in the AREG pavilion to promote the Energetica Corridor and the many development opportunities available in the city. We also have a stand dedicated to hydrogen and the city's exciting plans to secure a hydrogen economy in Aberdeen and build on our hydrogen infrastructure projects.

"The future is bright for Aberdeen. Business is booming here and All-Energy provides an ideal opportunity to show what the energy city can offer now and in the future."
