Firstly, the situation and challenges of China’s power green development is analyzed. On this basis, the power green development models are categorized into two typical research objects, which are multi-energy synergy mode, represented by integrated energy systems, and multi-energy combination mode with clean energy participation. The key points of the green power development model with the consumption of new energy as the core are reviewed, and then China’s exploration of the power green development system and the latest research results are reviewed.

  • New Business Models of Eco Innovations
    Chamber of Eco Commerce (CEC) New Business Models of Eco Innovations Date: March 2011 Background Sustainable products and services are usually labeled as quality products. Governments, designers, project developers, producers and suppliers are all getting more convinced of their value. Both from a view of urgency as from a view of social responsibility. Both the supply of and the demand for eco innovations have risen significantly during the last years. These are necessary conditions for new markets. An important issue in market- ing the eco-innovations is the business model that is chosen by companies to scale up technologically successful innovations. Business models are an important criteria for fun- ders to provide access to venture capital. When entrepreneurs meet and start talking about their business model everyone seems to have a different perception of the business model. New products are made very quickly, lean and efficient production is a challenge from the past, the network economy challenges companies to create different value proposition for every possible group of clients and ex- periment on this. Disruptive innovations bring both winners and losers. The roadmap to business success in a period of change will demand a premium for innovation, collaboration and smart invest- ments to shape a globally prosperous and sustainable future. In what way are business models of eco innovations different from 'regular' innovations? Which factors determine the business model used? What kind of business models are dis- tinguished in up scaling eco-innovations? What is the role of the investors and their interac- tion and influence on the business model? How can governments stimulate business mod- els - single companies in both business to business markets - business to consumer mar- kets - more complex models of cooperating companies.

    Special Issue on Afforestation & Reforestation Community Readers Forum Forestry After a long time wait I could be able to get a copy of the journal " Community Forestry" . Almost ten years back two editorial staff from RCDC sought my suggestions for improvement of the journal. Fortunately, (Issue-26, October 2012) the contents, coverage and paper quality has been improved, but not the format of the journal. A journal Editorial Address is normally called periodical as it is published in specific periodicity with its Volume. There is no volume of the journal. Because, the authors are asked to cite their work and while citing the paper published it REGIONAL CENTRE FOR lacks the Volume No. Every Journal must have its International Standard Serial Number( ISSN) for which DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION it is called as a journal. A paper published in a journal without ISSN number is not considered as a A/68, 1st Floor scientific paper. Because the author does not get any mark for the paper published by him.

Here, green innovation is measured as patented ideas of the following technology categories: i) reductions of greenhouse gas emissions related to energy generation, transmission or distribution; ii) climate change mitigation technologies related to buildings and iii) climate change mitigation technologies for the production or processing of goods. After 2005, there was clear growth in green innovation and an expansion of markets for energy from renewable sources.

PROGRAM IN GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND PAPER The field of Green Energy Technology (GET) encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods, materials and processes from environmentally benign techniques for generating energy to its minimal utilization for maximal production of end materials and utilization of waste products when generated. The goals of this rapidly growing highly interdisciplinary field include i) sustainability - meeting the needs of society in ways that without damaging or depleting natural resources, ii) innovation - developing alternatives to technologies to those that have been demonstrated to damage health and the environment and source reduction – and iii) reducing waste and pollution by changing patterns of production and consumption. Thus, Green Technology is a term used to describe production of knowledge-based products or provide services that improve operational performance, productivity or efficiency, while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste and pollution. M.Tech. offered at Pondicherry University in Green Energy Technology is a cutting edge material based program designed to equip post-graduates with multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge in the areas of green energy generation, green processes in chemical and construction industries, applications of nanotechnolgy, waste management and environmental sustainability etc. The course will be taught by a team of specialists working in the fields of green energy technology, chemical science, biological science, project management, and environmental policy. This is program is designed for two years spread into four semesters. First two semesters are for hard and soft core courses, third semester is entirely for soft-core (optional) courses and final semester is for project.

  • EU and Proposed US Approaches to Carbon Leakage and WTO
    Climate Change: EU and Proposed U.S. Approaches to Carbon Leakage and WTO Implications Larry Parker Specialist in Energy and Environmental Policy Jeanne J. Grimmett Legislative Attorney April 12, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40914 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress EU and Proposed U.S. Approaches to Carbon Leakage and WTO Implications Summary The United States has proposed, and the European Union (EU) developed, policies to mitigate the potential economic and environmental (i.e., “carbon leakage”) impacts of carbon policies on energy- or greenhouse gas-intensive, trade-exposed industries. While studies have found little effect of carbon policies on EU competitiveness in the present, the EU decision to move toward auctioning of allowances in the future has spurred development of criteria to extend potential availability of free allowances to exposed industries to 2020. In a December 2009 decision, the European Commission (EC) listed 164 industrial sectors and subsectors deemed exposed sectors under appropriate European Parliament and Council directives. H.R. 2454, which passed the House on June 26, 2009, includes two strategies to address these concerns: (1) free allocation of allowances (similar to that of the EU), and (2) an international reserve allowance (IRA) scheme. Studies have suggested that a free allowance scheme appears effective in mitigating the trade-related impact of the carbon program on energy-intensive, trade- exposed industries. However, production cost for those industries (along with other industries) could increase because of the potential pass-through of compliance-related costs by upstream producers of various inputs into their manufacturing processes.
