We are the International Energy Foundation – the IEF. We are a non-profit group of scientists, researchers, engineers and others from around the world working together. Our mission is to facilitate the transfer of research and technology in all areas of energy with special emphasis on developing countries. We are interested in better ways to produce, transmit and conserve energy with respect to the technical, economic and human dimensional elements including global climate change. We are part of the global effort towards achieving zero carbon emissions.
We have international board of directors and advisors, bringing a global perspective to our operations.
Current projects include the official international energy Congress Evolving Energy I in 2012 with the coming Congress Evolving Energy II scheduled to take place in Melbourne Australia in February 2023. Future Congresses and their locations will be announced in due course.
We have set up 13 Regional Headquarters to provide a focal point for international information networks so that people from around the world can access to the latest research data.
Other energy organizations are devoted to specific forms of energy, or they are associated with particular industries, government and other interests.
We deal with energy in the broadest sense – with all forms of energy. We go beyond national boundaries and we are reaching the people in 165 countries who are working with energy directly in their own research labs and offices. If you are interested in learning more about energy and, if you would like to share what you have already learned with the rest of the world, join us.
