Implication of the UK Meeting its 2020 Renewable Energy Target

POYRY Energy (Oxford) Ltd was commisioned by WWF-UK and Greenpeace UK to present high-level scenarios to investigate what implication such changes in renewable penetration will have on the need for new conventional generation capacity. In Particular, since the UK's main renewable generation resource is wind, it considers the impact of a growing reliance on an intermittent resource on the overall required installed capacity to maintain a sufficiently robust electricity supply.

Al Gore gives a Landmark Speech

On 17th July 2008, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore, gave a landmark speech in which he outlined the kind of political response which is called for by leading climate scientist James Hansen's recent assessment of the science. Gore raised the bar on the scale and urgency of the action required to solve not only climate change, but also resource wars and rising energy prices. His challenge is for US citizens to call on the presidential candidates to commit themselves to power the US on renewable and "clean energy" sources within ten years. The 300-350 Show brings you this historic speech in full.

Low Carbon Buildings with Decentralised & Intelligent Energy

The critical leadership role of Europe in addressing the interrelated challenges of climate change, rising cost of energy and fuel security requires urgent implementation of its key targets i.e. by 2020, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% from the 1990 level, preferably 30% with global agreement.

While there is no one solution the strategic imperative compels an accelerated transition to a low carbon future on the scale of the industrial revolution but in 10 rather than 100 years.
