"PARTNERING
FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP"
Under the High Patronage of
His Excellency the
President of
Portugal, Prof. Aníbal
Cavaco Silva
November 7, 8 & 9, 2007
Peniche,
Portugal
Co-organized by

On 7, 8 & 9
November 2007, the Centro Para Prevenção da Poluição (C3P) and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) hosted a technical
workshop at the Escola Superior de
Turismo e
Tecnologia do Mar (School of Maritime
Technology) in Peniche, Portugal. This event was supported by the
Secretaria de Estado do Ambiente, and under the High Patronage of His
Excellency the President of Portugal.
Escola Superior de Turismo e Tecnologia do Mar de Peniche
The three-day
workshop provided an excellent forum to receive up-to-date information on
environmental and energy concerns that are common to Portuguese, European
and U.S. industries, as well as information on ongoing and future projects.
Of particular emphasis, several technical sessions were devoted to the
environmental and energy improvements planned for the Berlenga Island.
In total, 243
individuals from eight countries attended the technical workshop. More
than 45 international scientists, technologists, and engineering experts
presented PowerPoint slides on topics ranging from island sustainability,
renewable energies to restricted chemicals and advances in materials and
conventional processes, green chemistry, lead-free soldering and advances in
coatings and coating removal.
This exchange
of solutions provided direct and tangible benefit to attendees from
academia, defense, and commercial industries.
The workshop
began with welcoming comments from the President of the Escola Superior de
Tecnologia do Mar, Prof. Júlio Coelho, and from the Mayor of Peniche, Dr.
António José Correia. Welcome remarks were also made by Mr. Alfred Hoffman,
U.S. Ambassador in Lisbon. A video with a statement from the Prof. Humberto
Rosa, Secretary of State for the Environment was shown.
Welcome Remarks
NASA Assistant Administrator, US Ambassador
The C3P
Director, General (ret.) Pelagio Castelo Branco, began by thanking all
participants and guest-speakers for their attendance and contributions, and
showed his appreciation for the efforts and collaboration of the Escola
Superior de Tecnologia do Mar, the host and co-organizer of the Workshop, as
well as to the Instituto Politécnico de Leiria, under which the Escola is
managed. General Branco also highlightd those partnerships C3P has begun to
form with manufacturers, industry associations, universities, and testing
and engineering centers of excellence throughout the European Union.
Ms. Olga Dominguez, Assistant Administrator for the Office of Infrastructure
and Administration at NASA, discussed the importance of agencies such as
NASA being more efficient and reducing waste.
Keynote Speaker
At the
workshop, C3P and NASA also celebrated the 5-year anniversary signing of the
Joint Statement Between NASA and the Portuguese Ministry of Environment
Regarding Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Pollution Prevention
in September 2002.
C3P is an
international organization that facilitates partnerships with the scientific
& technical community in Portugal, Europe, and the United States to identify
and evaluate less hazardous and sustainable materials for use in
acquisition, manufacturing and sustaining maintenance processes. The
C3P is recognized by Ministério do Ambiente
de
Portugal (Portuguese Ministry of Environment), and NASA per the Joint
Statement Between NASA and the Portuguese Ministry of the Environment
Regarding Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Pollution Prevention
Matters, signed on 18 September 2002.
The workshop
was co-organized by the Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Mar and by Câmara
Municipal de Peniche.
