"Let start a civilization which provides for its energy using renewable energy. Our organisation will contribute to reach this goal. We found a appropriate name for our organisation, OliNo, which is a Dutch word joke for No Oil!"

The bad news: organisations in the UK are wasting as much as £300 million a year by keeping idle computers switched on at night, according to a report conducted by Harris Interactive® on behalf of 1E and the Alliance to Save Energy. The good news: British organisations are much better at conserving computer energy than are their counterparts in the US. Concerns about the environment inspire 27 percent of UK workers to power down their computers at the end of the workday, according to the report. In the US, only 10 percent cited such concerns. If all the 17 million computer-using workers in the UK would power down at night, they could reduce the nation's yearly carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.3 million tonnes - about as much as is produced by 245,000 cars.

The connector between France and Spain is supposed to be the easy part.

Organisations face a number of questions when they are considering their energy efficiency such as why is your company's electricity bill high? Have you established your company's energy priorities, and have you considered how the weather conditi...

"CarbonCulture is a new initiative started by More Associates for organisations that want to get really good at saving energy and carbon. Structured as a social enterprise, CarbonCulture exists to help all its members find the best 'moves' they can make to save energy and carbon. CarbonCulture will spread that knowledge amongst the membership so we can all get better at saving as quickly and as cheaply as possible. We've been working for some time with pioneers DECC and Defra to design strategies to achieve initial savings." http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/decc http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/dcms http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/cabinet-office http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/defra http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/fco http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/hmrc http://www.carbonculture.net/orgs/hm-treasury

"Industrial symbiosis brings together traditionally separate industries and organisations from all business sectors with the aim of improving cross industry resource efficiency and sustainability; involving the physical exchange of materials, energy, water and/or by-products together with the shared use of assets, logistics and expertise."

Comprehensive and accurate information on government interventions in energy markets. Doug Koplow founded Earth Track in 1999 to more effectively integrate information on energy subsidies. For nearly 20 years, Mr. Koplow has written extensively on natural resource subsidies for organizations such as the Global Subsidies Initiative, the National Commission on Energy Policy, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Greenpeace, the Alliance to Save Energy, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. He has analyzed scores of government programs and made important developments in subsidy valuation techniques.

Aneel's College Board of Directors has authorized Copel (Paraná \nElectric Energy Company) to implement the pilot-project which determines the \nselling of exceeding energy, derived from animal waste, produced in small rural \nproprieties in Paraná. The project, named Distributed Generation with \nEnvironmental Sanitation Project, will allow the elimination of organic matter \nresulting from the hog creation, which will stop being released over rivers and \ndeposits such as Itaipu's. Such residue will be transformed, via biodigesters, \nin biogas, a fuel used in the generation of electric energy.

Irish-based Offshore wind energy developers today confirmed that they have projects at an advanced stage of preparation for the development of over 2,000mw of renewable energy in Irish waters at a capital cost of over €4 billion. The announcement was made by the five largest offshore wind companies in Ireland at the launch of NOW Ireland, a new organisation to promote the development of the offshore wind industry in Ireland.

On electric vehicles, we need to be very careful to distill the announcements which represent real products, backed up by organisations with manufacturing facilities.

Insensys, the leading provider of fibre optic load measurement systems for blades and Garrad Hassan the leading developer of pitch control algorithms have combined forces to develop an integrated package which enables turbine manufacturers to achieve significant reductions in rotor, shaft and tower loads. The collaboration is non exclusive and both organisations will continue to offer products and services independently of each other.
