The International Conference on Combustion & Energy Utilisation (ICCEU) is the continuation of the formerly Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Combustion and Energy Utilisation. The 1st (1990), 2nd (1993) and the 9th (2008) conferences were held in Beijing, the 3rd (1995) and the 7th (2004) were held in Hong Kong, the 4th (1997) was in Bangkok, the 5th (1999) was in Shanghai, the 6th (2002) was in Kuala Lumpur, the 8th (2006) was in Sochi, Russia, and the 10th (2010) was hosted by Turkey. As a consequence of the global preoccupations in more efficient and cleaner energy utilisation, the ICCEU is becoming a global event for scientists working in the area of energy utilisation. After the previous successful conference in Coimbra, Portugal (The 11th ICCEU, 2012), The 12th ICCEU (2014 ICCEU) will be held in Lancaster, UK in 2014. It provides a forum on exchange of information on innovation, research, development and demonstration in the areas of combustion and energy utilisation.
