In the sectors in which Fastflow Group works we can see strong evidence of positive change: • Our customers are demanding low-carbon approaches to service delivery, which in turn cost less. • Solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy are on the way to becoming less costly than traditional forms of energy. • Many governments are incentivising and stipulating a shift to lower carbon transport models i.e.

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change
    Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change by Jin Liu A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2011 Faculty of Laws UCL 1 I, Jin Liu confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _____________________________________ Jin Liu 2 Abstract Although the contribution of international civil aviation to climate change seems small (with a global share of just 3.5 percent of emissions of CO 2), the projected growth in air traffic means that it is highly significant. There is thus an urgent need to explore legal regulations for limiting and/or reducing the adverse impacts of aircraft emissions on the environment. This thesis examines the progress which has been made on international aviation emissions abatement and provides an analysis of the reasons for delay. It concludes that the contribution of aviation to climate change is a multi-scalar problem and as such neither conventional top-down international legal regimes, nor any single regulatory instrument can solve it. The research question for this thesis is how to break the deadlock of conventional legal approaches and overcome the barriers to international aviation greenhouse gas emissions abatement. New governance theory provides the theory within which the future of aviation emissions regulation has been explored. Drawing on the scholarly literature on new governance, this thesis argues for a multi-scalar regulatory architecture which simultaneously engages multi-level governance, and a multi-party and multi-instrument approach to the problem.
