Other conventional sources may be more enduring, but are not without serious disadvantages. The renewable energy resources are particularly suited for the provision of rural power supplies and a major advantage is that equipment such as flat plate solar driers, wind machines, etc., can be constructed using local resources. Without the advantage results from the feasibility of local maintenance and the general encouragement such local manufacture gives to the buildup of small-scale rural based industry. This communication comprises a Keywords comprehensive review of energy sources, the environment, and sustainable development. It includes the renewable energy Energy efficiency; technologies, energy efficiency systems, energy conservation Environment; scenarios, energy savings in greenhouses environment and other Renewable energy; mitigation measures necessary to reduce climate change. This Sustainable development; study gives some examples of small-scale energy converters, Technologies; nevertheless it should be noted that small conventional, i.e., engines are currently the major source of power in rural areas and will continue to be so for a long time to come.

  • PETROBRAS-CHINA RELATIONS: TRADE, INVESTMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS and LOANS1 Pedro Henrique Batista Barbosa2
    PETROBRAS-CHINA RELATIONS: TRADE, INVESTMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND LOANS1 Pedro Henrique Batista Barbosa2 Petrobras’ expansion over the last years is linked to one foreign country: China. After the discovery of the pre-salt oil, the company’s relation with Chinese players has evolved rapidly in four directions: trade, investments, infrastructure projects, and loans. Chinese actors have become relevant crude importers, production partners, service providers, and funding options. China became Petrobras’ main export destination and the origin of the majority of its external loans, which have helped it to expand production and honor its financial commitments. From China’s perspective, Petrobras is a reliable crude supplier, besides being an increasingly relevant destination of investments and technical, operational, and financial services. In each of the four pillars, the progress of bilateral relations was based upon complementary circumstances, such as China’s skyrocketing imports and Petrobras’ burgeoning exports. However, beyond complementarity, Petrobras-China oil cooperation has significant challenges. Keywords: China; Petrobras; oil; trade; FDI; infrastructure projects; loans. AS RELAÇÕES PETROBRAS-CHINA: COMÉRCIO, INVESTIMENTOS, PROJETOS DE INFRAESTRUTURA E EMPRÉSTIMOS A expansão da Petrobras nos últimos anos está ligada a um país estrangeiro: China. Após a descoberta do petróleo do pré-sal, a relação da empresa com os atores chineses evoluiu rapidamente em quatro direções: comércio, investimentos, projetos de infraestrutura e empréstimos. Empresas e bancos chineses tornaram-se importantes importadores de petróleo, parceiros em extração, provedores de serviços e opções de financiamento. A China passou a ser o principal destino das exportações da Petrobras e a origem da maioria dos seus empréstimos externos, o que a ajudou a expandir sua produção e equilibrar seus compromissos financeiros.

  • An Analysis of Select Companies' Operations in Sudan: a Resource
    An Analysis of Select Companies’ Operations in Sudan: A Resource for Divestment February 10, 2005 A Report by The Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic and The Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Project Yale Law School 1 1 Contributors to this report included Alicia Bannon, Aliza Cover, Neela Ghoshal, Deborah Marcuse, Nick Robinson, and Sachin Shivaram. If you have questions about this report, please email [email protected]. Table of Contents I. Introduction 1 II. History of the Genocide in Darfur 2 III. Positions on Divestment of Universities and State Legislatures, as well as Regional Experts and NGOs 6 IV. Link Between Foreign Companies Doing Business in Sudan and Genocide 11 V. Company Profiles 18 I. Introduction This report was written by the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School, in conjunction with the Lowenstein International Human Rights Project,2 as a resource in understanding companies’ business activities in Sudan. It was written in light of a movement in the United States for various institutions to divest from companies that support the Government of Sudan while it commits genocide in Darfur, Sudan. The purpose of this report is to provide factual information and analysis of select companies’ involvement in Sudan. Although this document was created to support the efforts of those in the divestment movement, it does not make recommendations on whether to divest from specific companies. Some argue for blanket divestment from companies doing any business in Sudan. Others argue for more narrowly tailored and targeted divestment. This report does not take sides in this argument but provides information and analysis that can be used to understand particular companies’ roles in Sudan.
