A new scheme, which aims to reduce the carbon emissions in more than one million homes, was launched by the mayor of London today (November 10th).
The aims is to introduce a number of simple changes and larger scale measures to increase energy efficiency in at least 200,000 homes by 2012.
If necessary funding is made available, it is hoped the scheme will reach 1.2 million homes in the capital by 2015.
As part of the scheme residents will be able to make a number of free and simple changes such as switching to low energy light bulbs and energy-saving standby switches.
Larger modifications available through the scheme include loft and cavity wall insulation which will be subsidised for people who can afford to pay and free for those on qualifying benefits.
By installing the measure the scheme could mean a reduction of more than 1.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in the city by 2015.
Residents in nine of the city’s boroughs will be able to benefit from trials of the scheme before it is rolled out on a wider scale over the coming years.
Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, said: “With more than a third of London’s climate change emissions being generated from domestic properties, making our homes more energy efficient is a no brainer.
“London is crying out for a much more simple, easy to access scheme to help people go green, and these trials will help us create this.”
If successful, the new measures could provide a large contribution to helping the UK achieve its target of reducing carbon emissions on 1990 levels by 34 per cent for 2020.
Unresolved supply issues may block the UK government’s plan to have 15 percent of renewable energy come from biomass, it was claimed today (November 12th).
Plans are in place for seven large-scale biomass power generators to create 2,100 MW by 2014.
There are also incentives for local authorities to invest in smaller biomass boilers under the government’s Carbon Reduction Commitment.
However, new analysis from independent research firm Verdantix showed that unless investments to increase UK biomass supplies are made, only five to ten percent of the target will be met.
James Pinney, who lead the research, said: “UK biomass supplies will only meet small-scale demand.
“The low volume of UK supply means that every year power generators will import millions of tonnes of wood chips, elephant grass, palm kernels and olive pellets to feed their huge biomass facilities.”
Mr Pinney also said there were uncertainties surrounding the cost and reliability in importing biomass from places like Canada and Sweden, from where the UK is likely to source it.
A rural community in Scotland has become the first to trial an electric car.
Fergus Ewing, the Scottish government’s minister for community safety, unveiled the vehicle at the Cairngorms National Park yesterday (November 16th).
The minister test drove the modified five-door Vauxhall Astra from Aviemore to Kingussie High School as part of the Clim-ATIC Cairngorms Electric Vehicle project.
“This is the first time I’ve driven an electric car and I’m very impressed with the work that’s gone in from all partners involved,” he said.
“We want Scotland to be at the forefront of building a sustainable low carbon economy of the future – to do that we need more great projects like this one in the Cairngorms.”
Local charity the Badenoch and Strathspey Community Transport Company (BSCTC) was then handed the keys to conduct a test trial of the car.
The organisation helps people with limited access to transport get around so they can make use of local services.
Mr Ewing added that he hoped the scheme would encourage similar green transport projects to be established across the country.
Businesses in the UK could save themselves money as well as help the UK step closer to a low carbon economy by being more energy efficient, the government has claimed.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) cited research from WRAP, which revealed that 47 percent of businesses recognise they could make savings of more than £100,000 through low and no cost energy efficiency measures.
Businesses could contribute up to ten percent towards the UK’s greenhouse emissions targets for 2020 by being more eco-friendly, the government advised.
Hilary Benn, environment secretary, said: “Sustainability is the key not only to the environment but to business success.”
“There are opportunities here in the UK too in the low carbon and environmental goods and services, where we currently have just over three per cent of the global market.”
More than 550 high-level political decision makers at EU, national and regional level, representatives of the renewable energy industry, NGOs and scientists gathered in Brussels for the 3rd European Renewable Energy Policy Conference, organized by EREC as an official event of the Swedish EU Presidency.
“Renewable energy is the competitive advantage of Europe and the key to a sustainable 21st century economy. We have to make renewable energy the mainstream source of our energy system.”
– Prof. Arthouros Zervos, President, EREC
The conference showed a broad consensus that renewable energy will be the mainstream source of Europe’s energy supply by 2050.
“I am confident that the policy framework of renewable energy targets, carbon pricing and funding for R&D will lead to the development of a tremendously significant new energy sector,” said Deputy Head of Cabinet Peter Vis delivering the speech to the event
Looking at 2050, Christopher Jones, Director for New & Renewable Energy Sources at the European Commission, referred to a share of 80% renewable energy in final energy consumption in Europe. The Commission’s views were echoed by several Members of European Parliament present as well as by the industry.
“Already today the European Renewable Energy Industry is providing more than 450.000 jobs and has an annual turnover exceeding €45 billion. Renewable energy already contributes to one-quarter of the EU’s 20% greenhouse gas commitment and has reached a share of about 10% in final energy consumption. I am convinced that the new Renewable Energy Directive with its national binding targets for each of the 27-EU Member States will enable Europe to reach even more than the minimum target of 20% by 2020. Renewable energy is the competitive advantage of Europe and the key to a sustainable 21st century economy. We have to make renewable energy the mainstream source of our energy system,” said Prof. Arthouros Zervos, EREC’s president.
The government has changed there criteria by offering funding to business who spend £30,000 per annum on energy.

Start cutting your C02 and reduce costs today!!!
The US Department of Energy has granted $9.5 million to a company in California that plans to build America’s first recycling facility for lithium-ion vehicle batteries.
Anaheim-based Toxco says it will use the funds to expand an existing facility in Lancaster, OH, that already recycles the lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride batteries used in today’s hybrid-electric vehicles.
There is currently little economic need to recycle lithium-ion batteries. Most batteries contain only small amounts of lithium carbonate as a percentage of weight and the material is relatively inexpensive compared to most other metals.

All aspects of food – production, processing, distribution, retail, consumption and waste – must be addressed, says Hilary Ben.

Fewer cut-price supermarket gimmicks and other measures to help target food waste are central to a new government food security strategy to maintain UK food supplies for the next 40 years.
The strategy is highly critical of bogof – “buy one get one free” – offers and heavily reduced “loss leader” lines that encourage shoppers to buy food they don’t need which eventually ends up in the bin.
