The electric car is on the verge of breaking through, offering a realistic choice for innovative and clean mobility.
18 Jan 2010
The electric car finally seems to be on the verge of breaking through, offering significant environmental benefits, especially in urban areas. Innovative business models are on the way which should boost consumer acceptance and overcome the remaining barriers, such as high battery costs, green electricity supply and charging infrastructure.

This biennial event is the largest biogas conference in the Nordic countries. The aims with the conference are to exchange information, results and experience in regard to production, distribution and utilization of biogas as well as address issues related to frame conditions and legislation. Besides showing the latest advances in biogas technology, e.g. biogas as vehicle fuel, grid injection and small scale biogas systems, the conference facilitates collaboration, commercial contacts and shows Nordic "know-how" and cleantec in an international setting.
Organizer: Waste Management Norway (coordinator), Danish Biogas Association, Swedish Biogas Association, Norwegian Water, Swedish Gas Association, Metan, Bionova Engineering,
Waste Management Sweden, Norsk Energigassforening, EGE and Swedish Gas Centre

From targets to real action, that could be the slogan for the ClearSupport project. The conference "Boosting Sustainable Energy Investments" will give to decision makers, stakeholders and civil society at local and regional levels a testimony of the experiences developed in new Member States in the field of building retrofitting.
The Project Service Facilities are the catalysts for realising ClearSupport’s ambitious goal of initiating specific building renovations – and well underway in the process! After two years and a half, the five Project Service Facilities (Crete, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic and Pomerania) were supporting 218 projects in total of which 132 projects were already implemented or were at an advanced stage. The projects are mainly related to the residential (47%) and public sector (46%) and to a minor extent to the private sector (7%).
This conference will be held in Kaunas (Lithuania) at the Reval Hotel Neris Kaunas, K. Donelaičio g. 27, Kaunas on the 18th of November 2009.

Governments and industry face two challenges: the need for energy security, and the limitations imposed by the dangers of global warming. Making the choices more complex is the remarkable array of new energy sources and new technology, including solar, wind, nuclear, biofuel, and geothermal. Some approaches (such as energy efficiency and conservation) address both energy security and climate change, but others play contradictory roles (such as coal-to-liquid). The emerging economies may well dominate the climate change arena, and yet it is difficult to see how their carbon dioxide emissions can be limited. One plausible thesis: that to be sustainable, alternative energy must be profitable. Which choices are the most likely to meet the world's needs? I will try to put these issues in perspective, and discuss the challenges they pose to the negiotations about to take place in Copenhagen.
