Community energy projects have historically shifted from small, local generation to large centralized fossil fuel plants, but will likely shift back towards smaller, more numerous renewable projects owned by communities. Rising population and energy demand, coupled with peaking fossil fuel production, means renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydro installed at a community scale will be an important part of our energy future. Case studies show benefits like income, jobs, and resilience for communities that implement these projects.
- The UK government has introduced 3 schemes to promote micro renewable energy and building refurbishment: the Feed-in Tariff, Renewable Heat Incentive, and Green Deal.
- The Feed-in Tariff provides financial incentives for electricity generated from renewable sources. Tariffs are guaranteed for 25 years and have decreased over time.
- The Renewable Heat Incentive provides similar financial incentives for renewable heat generation and includes multi-tiered tariffs for biomass boilers. Eligible technologies and requirements are specified.
- The Green Deal is a "pay as you save" scheme where approved companies install energy efficiency measures at no
This document summarizes a project called Way Into Work that helped young unemployed individuals in Monmouthshire, Wales develop skills and find employment.

GE- Goldman Sachs Fourth Annual Alternative Energy Conference Manya Mohan
This document provides a summary of Goldman Sachs' ecomagination initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive innovation in environmental technologies. It outlines Goldman's goals to grow low-carbon revenues to $25 billion by 2010, double research spending to $1.5 billion, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions 1% annually. The document highlights several low-carbon technologies Goldman is developing, such as more efficient aircraft engines, wind turbines, LED lighting, and energy storage batteries. It also discusses partnerships to implement smart grid and renewable energy projects.
Laura Burke, Director General of the EPA presentation to Smurfit Business Sch...Alice Charles
The document summarizes a seminar given by the Director General of the EPA on Ireland's need to transition to a low carbon economy. It discusses Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions trends, models for a low carbon economy in Sweden and Norway, challenges and opportunities for Ireland, including in agriculture and energy, the role of carbon pricing through emissions trading and carbon taxes, and examples of resource efficiency programs in Ireland. The conclusion calls for setting ambitious but achievable goals to transition Ireland to a low carbon economy through effective policies that also address behavioral barriers.
X & Y: saving the environment & the economyRomeu Gaspar
This document discusses how organizations in Europe are postponing environmental goals due to economic difficulties, but that pursuing environmental targets can actually benefit the economy. It uses the example of the city of Águeda in Portugal, which drafted a Sustainable Energy Action Plan to meet and exceed the EU's 20-20-20 targets through financially viable actions only. Águeda's plan committed to a 33% reduction in carbon emissions through initiatives targeting energy, transport, and waste that save more money than their initial costs. The document argues more cities could meet environmental targets while achieving economic benefits if they properly analyze financial feasibility when drafting their plans.
This document discusses how addressing climate change makes business sense for retailers and other companies. It provides examples of large retailers like Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, and Ikea committing to reduce their energy use and increase renewable energy to cut costs and improve their brands. The Co-operative Group is highlighted for sourcing 99% of its electricity from renewables, reducing its energy use and packaging, and offsetting carbon for some products. Addressing climate change through energy efficiency saves these companies money while gaining positive publicity.
The document discusses reducing energy consumption and costs for organizations. It notes that energy management will be a strategic issue for companies due to rising costs and new reporting requirements. The company Litchfield offers services to help clients actively manage their energy use and consumption, with goals of reducing usage by over 30% and achieving payback periods of less than 12 months for proposals. Strategies could save millions of pounds over five years according to the projections provided.

1) The EPA is responsible for producing Ireland's national greenhouse gas emission inventories and projections, which are submitted to the EU and UN.
2) Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions increased by 27% between 1990-2010 but have decreased by 9% from their peak in 2000. Emissions from the energy sector contribute the most.
3) Ireland is projected to exceed its 2020 EU target for reducing emissions in the non-trading sector (transport, buildings, agriculture, waste) by 20% compared to 2005 levels. Focus is needed on policies and measures to reduce emissions from agriculture and transport.
The Business Case for Low Carbon CompaniesSasin SEC
The document discusses the business case for low carbon companies in Asia. It finds that becoming a low carbon company can result in cost savings from energy efficiency improvements, appeal to customers concerned about supply chain emissions, and prepare companies for upcoming carbon regulations. A case study shows one supermarket chain saved over $17 million annually through a 40% carbon reduction target, while its competitor without carbon targets missed out on these savings.
- The Group achieved record results in 2019, with EBITDA growing 5.2% to over 1 billion euros, exceeding expectations.
- Net profit increased 6.7% despite one-off costs from the Ascopiave acquisition.
- Strong cash flow generation allowed further deleveraging and investments in growth opportunities like M&A and organic projects.
The document provides an overview of BASF's economic, environmental, and social performance in 2020. Key highlights include:
- Sales were €59.1 billion, down slightly from 2019, while EBIT declined more significantly due to the pandemic.
- Greenhouse gas emissions increased 3.5% to 20.8 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents.
- The number of on-site sustainability audits of raw material suppliers declined 38.3% to 50 audits.
- Accelerator product sales, which offer sustainability benefits, increased 11.5% to €16.7 billion.
Sustainable Urban Water Use - University of North CarolinaDanousis85z
The document discusses a conference on sustainable urban water use and conservation planning. It provides an agenda for the day including presentations on using planning tools to project costs and benefits of conservation, driving efficiency through water pricing, and combining price and non-price programs in a new utility business model. The final session will continue the dialogue on these topics in a group discussion.
Joining Things Up for Buildings | Bill Bordass icarb
The document discusses the need to better connect policy and practice when it comes to reducing carbon emissions from buildings. It argues that savings can be achieved through a "multiplier effect" by reducing demand through standards and passive measures (50%), increasing efficiency through technology (25%), avoiding waste through management (20%), and halving the carbon content of energy supplies (10%). However, it warns against relying too heavily on renewables and stresses the importance of making buildings efficient as well as using renewable supplies. It also advocates for greater transparency through displaying actual energy use data and passing energy and carbon information to tenants.
The document summarizes a presentation on commercial reasons for Cornish businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and become more environmentally sustainable. It discusses the Green Cornwall program which aims to make Cornwall a leader in low carbon initiatives. Examples are given of local businesses that have improved their bottom line through reducing energy use, waste, and transportation emissions. Attendees are encouraged to use tools to measure their carbon footprint and ideas for how superfast broadband could help decrease emissions.
