Albania toward large and sustainable energy developments by lorenc gordaniLorenc Gordani
This presentation, based to my daily empirical experience, concentrates an assessment about the huge interest for the foreigner investors on the business opportunities offered in ongoing by the traditional hydropower source and the emerging energy sectors of photovoltaic, wind, biomasses, natural gas, efficiency and managing, energy trading and supply, etc.
Further, it will follow with a brief analysis of the catalogue of legal procedures framework to obtain the permission rights and develop a project in energy infrastructure production. The all will be present as much as possible in a simple manner to explain the “philosophy” to which them based, for helping in the overcoming the complexity and the identifying the right approach needed to address it by interested developers.
In this regard, “a file rouge” will bring an analysis of the different incentives and benefit traditionally brought and the new opportunities offered by the liberalization and the regional integration of the market. A fluid situation, which is making more and more possible the complete projects and the open new procedure and follows with the planning on the developments of new large-scale and sustainable projects.

Can Balkan authorities afford to subsidise renewable energy?Atanas Georgiev
In 2009, 62% of newly installed electricity generation capacity in the EU was from renewable sources, mainly wind and solar (a total of 17 GW). Wind-focused companies experienced more challenging environment; solar- focused companies appear to have turned the corner.
Carbon Emission Factor for Ukrainian Electricity GridMykola Shlapak
The article provides the results of calculation of carbon emission factor for Ukrainian electricity grid for the period 2012-2015 using publicly available data. Carbon emission factor for Ukrainian electricity grid is estimated using operation margin emission factor method in line with the provisions of the latest versions of the relevant CDM tools. The results provided could be used when calculating GHG emission reduction for renewable energy (where a project activity supplies electricity to a grid) and energy efficiency projects (project activity that results in savings of electricity that would have been provided by the grid.

"The challenge for Europe is to enable market actors to drive down the costs of renewable energy through improved research, industrialisation of the supply chain and more efficient policies and support schemes. This could require greater convergence in support schemes and greater responsibilities for system costs among producers."

Low-CapEx approach to synthetic transport fuels from biomass – From laborator...Ilkka Hannula
The ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement cannot be met without significant decarbonisation of the transport sector. In Europe, the revised version of the Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) will enter into force by the end of 2019 and will govern European biofuel policies during the next decade. The directive will gradually phase out unsustainable palm oil –derived biodiesel, while simultaneously creating European wide demand for “low ILUC risk” biofuels. Minimum target for low ILUC risk biofuels will be 3.6% by 2030.
In the attempt to accelerate the market introduction of low ILUC risk biofuels, VTT has developed a “Low-CapEx” concept for biomass-to-liquids (BTL) that can be realised at an intermediate scale of 100-150 MW biomass input (corresponding to 30-50 ktoe annual production of transportation fuels) with an estimated investment cost for a first-of-a-kind plant of around 200 - 300 M€. The proposed concept is suitable for non-edible lignocellulosic feedstocks and features an atmospheric steam-blown dual fluidised-bed gasifier combined with a simplified hot-gas clean-up train and a small-scale
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis.
The pilot-scale development work was started in a national research project BTL2030 during 2016-2018, and is currently being continued in a H2020 project COMSYN. Based on Aspen Plus simulations, the overall efficiency (to both FT fuels and saleable heat) of the process is 79 – 87 % (LHV). Based on a prospective economic analysis, 1100 – 1300 €/tonne production cost is expected for a first-of-a-kind commercial plant, depending on the price of feedstock. However, significant cost reduction potential exists for subsequent plants through learning-by-doing.
We present main results from our R&D work to date, together with a roadmap on how low ILUC risk biofuels could be deployed during next decade in Europe to meet the targets set in REDII.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.
