http://www.greenoptions.com/t/5219/crown-jakarta-capital-eco-management-news-green-investment-bank Investment of £4.9 million to be provided for the replacement of inefficient heating systems with biomass boilers Energy Saving Investments (ESI), an Equitix managed fund in which the UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) is a cornerstone investor, has announced a fund of £4.9 million for its first energy efficiency project. The funding will join a further £5.1 million investment provided by the Equitix Energy Efficiency Fund (EEEF) to replace inefficient heating systems with biomass boilers in both public and private community facilities. The £10 million investment is being made through the energy services company Roundwood Energy Limitedwhich is responsible for financing, installing, maintaining and fuelling the new systems for a period of up to 20 years. The company is supported by its technology partner, Woodpecker Energy Limited of Yeovil, Somerset, which manufactures wood pellet and wood chip biomass boilers. Non-domestic energy efficiency (NDEE) is one of the Green Bank's priority sectors. The bank awarded the competitive fund mandate to Equitix to invest £50 million, matched by private investors, to drive investment in small-scale low carbon infrastructure requiring less than £30 million of financing. The investment could fund over 60 projects in both private and public sectors thereby saving customers up to 30 percent on their energy bills as well as reducing carbon emissions and supporting the green economy. Customers will not need to make an upfront capital investment in order to switch their heating systems to biomass and applications are now open. "The Green Investment Bank is helping to fund energy efficiency measures for everyone from our largest companies, to individual households through the Green Deal" said Shaun Kingsbury, Chief Executive of the Green Investment Bank. "Today's announcement will provide a low-cost and straightforward way for a

CROWN Welcome to The CROWN where global issues are extensively discussed and fiercely debated from both sides of the argument - by one person. The Writer Nolan is a great enthusiast of international relations, rooting from his extensive exposure in global journalism. He believes that instead of the limited context, and sometimes just plain hostile views, presented by the popular news providers, it is more important to understand the underlying management issues by knowing the whole story or presenting both sides of the story. Everything written on this site (reports, opinions, analysis and all) is from Nolan and shows how he perceives the world situation these days. Pertinent and timely issues range from environment, politics, economy and pretty much everything that has to do with diplomatic relations. The Backstory Nolan started writing his opinions on timely issues in a journal that gradually turned into newspaper contributions. It was then he decided that nothing could be better than having his own website where he is free to fool around express his self-declared intellectual opinion pieces to his heart's content. Armed with his frustration of the mainstream media voice, Nolan took it into his head to make his own venue for discussing not only the hot topics but also the more relevant but eclipsed-in-mainstream-media news. (One of these days he might actually get the pressure to write a more detailed and eloquent history of how this site came to be. But until then, suit yourself with this summary.) Aims His inclination in sharing his insights and analysis of global concerns is what strongly motivated him in creating The CROWN - aside from the fact that he wants to correct the misrepresentation and bias done by mainstream media on a regular basis.

Northern Europe picks on the Atlantic Ocean because of its wet summer according to a new study. The rising and falling of ocean temperature or the so called cyclical deception is seen as a major extortion on the weather. The said pattern reported will last long as the Atlantic warming persists. The research was carried out at the University of Reading and is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

The cycle of scheme investigated was known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. This change sees the waters warm or cool over a period of several decades. The researchers compared three periods in this cycle: a warm state from 1931-60, a cool period from 1961-90 and the most recent warm period starting in 1990 and continuing now. The paper notes that conditions in the last warm period in the Atlantic are broadly similar to those pragmatic now.


So the study compared weather conditions in Europe during the two warm Atlantic phases with those oppressed in the cool phase. One conclusion is that a warmer-than-usual Atlantic "favors a mild spring (especially April), summer and autumn, in England and across Europe."

Wine, spirits, meat and even baby food can all be faked, with fraudsters hiding their true origins. Now forensic scientists are clamping down on food fraud, which costs millions in lost revenue and can put the health and safety of the public at risk.


Imagine tucking into a fine fillet of "British" beef, only to learn it actually came from Australia. Or drinking "French" wine that actually came from California.
What if the "Italian" olive oil you pour over the accompanying salad originated in Morocco?
That might not be so bad, you may think.
But what if a bottle of vodka you'd purchased in good faith is tainted with methanol, making it lethal to drink?
Or the baby food you feed your youngest is not what the label on the jar said it is?
As global trade has increased, so has the potential for food fraud, where fraudsters lie or hide the true provenance of produce.
Alongside food safety and health fears, its raises concerns over quality control, reputational damage and lost revenue, and puts the spotlight on illegal activity.
Now some firms are taking to using scientists, a type of food "crime scene investigators", to tackle the issue.
Faking it
In a world where food is exported and imported every day, how do you prove that the origin of a product is legitimate?
A company in New Zealand has developed a scientific origin system which maps and catalogues "food fingerprints".
"What we do needs to be able to stand up in court," says Dr Helen Darling, from Oritain.
Most food supply chains use predominantly paper-based systems to trace the origin of food, such as following barcodes.
But while these show the route a product has travelled and how, and "whatever kind of details you want to capture in that system", says Dr Darling, Oritain's proof of origin "cannot be faked".
Oritain's scientific liaison officer Rebecca McLeod says it ties food and drinks back to their geographic origin, by mea

Crown Capital Eco Management: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/green-energy-plant-to-power-25000-homes-29461216.html Renewable energy could power 25,000 homes and boost carbon neutral generation by 10% with the opening of Northern Ireland's biggest biomass plant in 2015. The £80m project will also create around 200 construction jobs and 20 permanent positions. Work is expected to start over the next few weeks on the plant, which won planning permission three years ago, on a 10-acre site at Londonderry Port. At least 115,000 tonnes of recycled wood will be burnt every year over 20 years to produce heat and power at the Evermore Renewable Energy Plant in Lisahally, described as a combined heat and power plant (CHP). Brothers Ciaran (30) and Stephen Devine (28) from Eglinton are the co-founders of Evermore Renewable Energy, which is leading the project and has won funding of £20m from the UK Government's Green Investment Bank in its first venture in Northern Ireland. Specialist bank Investec is lending £40m to the scheme and infrastructure investors Gravis Capital Partners £20m. The plant will be built and run by Scandinavian firm Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC), also taking its first steps into Northern Ireland.

Stephen Devine said the brothers shared a business background, with Ciaran working as a stockbroker in London and Stephen for business advisers KPMG up until four years ago when they began planning the plant. He said: "Renewable energy is one of the most important sectors in the economy at the moment. We need to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. "It's a stable market and that's a key factor for ourselves. "We wanted to have a project that would benefit the people of Northe

http://current.com/groups/crown-capital-eco/ Crown Capital Eco -Natural Disasters Victims: Scammers Wait until we are in our Lowest Opportunists prey on natural disasters' victims and even those who want to help. They would not miss any single chance that they could profit something from any kind of people by taking advantage of their weaknesses. Victims are at their most desperate state and scammers see this as an opportunity to deceive them. "After practically every disaster, in the United States or abroad, charity scams pop up," says John Breyault, vice president of the National Consumers League. "We saw charity scams pop up after Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti and the Indonesian tsunami, to name just a few." These frauds come in various shapes and sizes as well as the scammers. They would take advantage the helplessness of the victims, they will show up and their front door, offer help and after they collected the payment in advance they would not show-up afterwards or worse make a bigger damage on the victim's properties. Beware of email scams; through email fraud they can easily target victims during in time of need. Although natural disaster's victims are not their target rather potential donors after the disaster are being preyed. Following a number of cases against email frauds after a disaster, the U.S. Department of Justice established the National Center forDisaster Fraud. Email and social medias are often also being used, urging you to click on a photo and then would ask for many things after that will lead you to send out money. The department insisted not to click on links instead independently seek information about charities you are interested in helping. Better yet, go directly to well known charities or charities that you already know. Request of money donations are automatically considered as illegitimate, no record will be provided if the said organization did received the money and on your part you will not have

Another finding - of greatest relevance to the search for a cause of rainy summers - is that the warmth of the ocean also tends to make northern and central Europe abuse than usual. By contrast southern Europe, from Portugal to Turkey, makes victim of far less rain than normal.
