According to a new long-term projection model from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, annual global expenditure on renewable energy projects will increase from $90 billion (USD) in 2009 to $150 billion in 2020. The model shows that this will further increase to $200 billion by 2030 given current policy targets.
The new findings apply the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Global Energy and Emissions Model GE2M, which is a long-term projection model covering the entire world energy system. The new mod... [more]

One year since the 17th century Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire became the one of the first National Trust mansions to be powered by small-scale renewable energy through a green energy partnership with npower, its carbon emissions have been cut by over 80 per cent.
The property’s biomass wood pellet boilers were installed a year ago this month and, since then, Sudbury’s annual carbon (CO2) emissions have dropped from over 52 tonnes to under 12 tonnes. This decrease in emissions has occurred despit... [more]
The Government has admitted that to meet the UK renewable energy target by 2020, a total of 14 per cent of the nation’s heating will have to come from renewable sources. The recent announcement that £7.9 billion will be spent on UK schools in the next year presents a great opportunity for schools to make the most of an innovative “green” energy solution, according to an industry expert.
Now is the time for education chiefs to invest in a reliable form of heating and cooling buildings which ca... [more]
Following the success of a six month trial which saw the vehicle used for recycling and street cleansing operations on behalf of Camden Council, Iveco is gearing-up production of its right-hand drive natural gas powered Daily.
Throughout the trial the Daily 65C14G cage tipper ran exclusively on fuel supplied by Gasrec, the UK’s first commercial producer of Liquid Biomethane (LBM), allowing direct comparisons to be drawn against similar vehicles operating on both diesel and Compressed Natural ... [more]
With energy prices and continuity of supply at the forefront of every planner's mind - and meeting government renewable energy targets at the back of their minds - a key factor in all new public sector building projects should be the full life cost of heating and cooling the building, which will be at least 30 years.
Bearing in mind that up to 40% of total energy costs are spent heating and cooling buildings, the decisions made now assume a new relevance and may have a major impact on budgets... [more]
