The International Research Center for Energy and Economic Development (ICEED) is a non-profit organization that provides relevant information and research on national and international energy issues. ICEED, founded in 1974, continues its mission of disseminating global views of energy usage, sustainability, economic growth, and development through five avenues:

ICEED’S ENERGY & AREA CONFERENCES:  These conferences are among the most well-established of their type. Representatives from 40-plus countries have joined in these informal exchanges of information among government officials, business leaders, and academia to discuss current trends in energy markets.  In April 2010, ICEED held the The 37th Annual International Energy Conference on Energy and Economic Recovery: Fundamentals and Timing and The 31st Annual Area Conferences on North American Energy: Regional Potential, Global Patterns.  The next conferences are scheduled for April 2011.

THE JOURNAL OF ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT: ICEED has published The Journal of Energy and Development since 1975. This biannual periodical covers international energy and development issues offering perspectives from authors around the world. Articles focus on energy-related topics, conservation, the environment, hydrocarbon development and management, alternative energy, sustainable economic development, macroeconomic trends, and policies of energy-producing and consuming countries.

ICEED’S OCCASIONAL PAPERS & BOOKS: ICEED’s occasional papers series provides timely works by leaders in the fields of energy and the environment. Topics include the development of alternative energy, markets and deregulation, geopolitics, energy supply security, and environmental trends. Additionally, ICEED has published or co-published more than 20 volumes on energy and economic development in the Middle East, the North Sea, Latin America, and the United States.
