Renewable Energy and Climate Science: Metrology and Technology Challenges in the Americas

Central American Metrology (CAMET) Workshop on Renewable Energy and Climate Science for the Americas    Metrology and Technology Challenges

The workshop was held in Guatemala City, on May 28 – 29, 2014. More than 200 people from the government, private sector and universities participated in this activity that sought to increase awareness about the importance of high quality measurements and standards as tools to advance renewable energy and climate science in the Americas. The discussions held during this activity enabled the identification of metrology areas where the CAMET region needs further training.
