Poland Sees Power Prices Surging On EU Carbon Plan NORWAY: April 10, 2008 OSLO - Polish electricity prices could surge 50-70 percent if the European Union goes ahead with plans to force power producers to buy their carbon emission permits from 2013, Environment Minister Maciej Nowicki said on Wednesday. Nowicki said Poland would be particularly hard hit by the rules, proposed in January and contested by Warsaw, because nearly all of its electricity comes from dirty coal and lignite and so its power producers will need a large number of permits.
Petroleum Minister Muhammad Asif on Tuesday asked the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) to frame new laws to ensure safety in handling and use of liquid petroleum gas (LPG). He was addressing an LPG exhibition organised here by the Ministry of Petroleum and LPG sector stakeholders to identify factors which made LPG production stagnant over the years. He said that the government would like to take every stakeholder of LPG sector on board to make the policies more workable, and utilise maximum potential to increase LPG production to meet the growing energy demand.
The good news about a recent report for the government about UK costs of complying with EU targets for renewables is that it should put no more than an extra 5% on our national energy bill. The bad news is that the government want to cut this cost by subsidising continental biomass consumption as a substitute for supporting our own renewable energy sources. The subsidised biomass will consist largely of wood burning in eastern Europe from forests that may not be replaced.
Federal government has agreed to continue to prepare short-term policy recommendations and awareness-building under ongoing new ADB financing project "Sustainable Energy Efficiency Development Programme". Under this programme, new government will further develop recommendations for removing the institutional bottlenecks to government-sponsored energy efficiency and conservation programmes and support mechanisms playing a more effective role in nurturing a nascent energy efficiency industry and consumer culture.
The second international LPG conference coupled with an exhibition will start here on Tuesday. Spokesperson of LPG said that the aim of conference would be to highlight the true growth potential of the LPG industry and focus issues related to its pricing regulation and safety standards. He said that the exhibition would arrange comprehensive display of the latest products and services available to the LPG industry including auto-gas and industrial automation equipment. He said that the LPG sector has shown a tremendous growth since it was deregulated eight years ago.
Reuters Summit - US Seen Importing Ethanol, But Tariff Uncertain US: April 7, 2008 WASHINGTON - The United States will need to import more sugarcane-based ethanol to meet renewable energy mandates, a top US official said, but he stopped short of recommending that a controversial ethanol tariff be lifted. "If our goal is to reduce hydrocarbon usage and to increase ethanol usage, that is going to happen through cane-based production," Tom Shannon, the top US official for Latin America, said in the Reuters Latin America Investment Summit on Friday.
By 2012, all of Japan should be using energy-saving fluorescent bulbs rather than incandescent bulbs as part of the effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akira Amari said Saturday. "I think this is a prime example of a campaign that is accessible and can be participated in by everyone," Amari told a news conference after attending a public meeting on environmental issues in Toyako, Hokkaido, where the annual Group of Eight summit will be held in July.
SURVEYS show that air conditioning units, which emit greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming, consume over 50 per cent electricity in buildings in India. Brian Ford, professor of Bio-climatic architecture in University of Nottingham, says this percentage can be brought down by designing buildings that promote natural ventilation. Ford was the consultant of the Sydney Olympic stadium and the Torrent Research laboratories in Gujarat, India.
Former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran knows more than a thing or two about tough negotiations. Considered a key player in hammering out the Indo-US nuclear deal, he knows there's a long road ahead in his new assignment as the Government's point man on climate change. It's most natural, therefore, that as he draws out a "national action plan,' he draws parallels between the rich, polluter nations and the nuclear club governed by the international politics of NPT.
ALL new private power projects, which are at the drawing board stage, may have to kiss goodbye to their plans of developing power plants based on clean fuel like natural gas. The gas utilisation policy, which will soon receive its official stamp of approval, proposes to give the highest priority to fertiliser plants, followed by petrochemical and LPG fractioner units.
