Energy Efficiency Makes Sense For NY

 New York State officials have produced a report that recommends energy efficiency as the way to help them lead the US to cleaner energy.

In the Energy Efficiency Assessment report, issued on Tuesday, the Empire State provided interesting information from the studies conducted into a sustainable future. 

The plan proposes energy efficiency for commerce and industry along with a new state building code. Not only will this bring environmental benefits but the saving makes it a “must do”, as the return on investment in energy efficiency is substantial – to quote the report:

The Age For Enigin's Energy Efficiency

 I read a great article by Paddy Manning on the The Age website from Australia.

It appears that in Australia they are about to debate various carbon emission policies, like so many other countries.

This is of interest to everyone connected with Enigin, Partners and Distributors, as energy efficiency is the nature of our business.

Manning goes on to discuss the energy efficiency business, showing what a great business opportunity we have:

Ho hum, you say? No money in it? Wrong. Energy efficiency is the fastest-growing carbon abatement market, according to HSBC's recent Climate Annual Index Review. HSBC estimated that the global market for energy efficiency this year was $US164 billion ($A178 billion) and would grow to more than $US600 billion by 2020.

Enigin: Saving Energy - Saving The Planet

By Severine Bloor

The upcoming climate conference, in Copenhagen - Denmark, will place central environmental issues on the international table along with their relative potential solutions.

Carbon emissions are making the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets melt, and this could soon be irreversible, should immediate action be delayed any further. 

Energy efficiency not only reduces energy consumption, it also reduces carbon emissions. Businesses all over the word could significantly contribute to the reduction of the world's carbon footprint by implementing energy saving products in their premises, such as the ones companies like Enigin PLC can provide.

Enigin Business Opportunity - Now’s The Best Time

Ernst & Young have released survey results revealing that business executives plan to increase expenditures on energy efficiency, renewable energy and clean technologies next year, thus shrugging off global recession concerns.

Where many companies are currently struggling, smart entrepreneurs and individuals see the business opportunity in the energy saving industry as a tremendous opportunity.

The time is  perfect  to launch a business in the energy saving sector, with demand  rising, investments are readily made due to the savings  produced  by the  reduction of  energy use and waste often using energy saving technology.

UK CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

 How many UK businesses know of the Carbon Reduction Commitment or its Energy Efficiency Scheme?

Apparently 40% of UK business is unaware of the CRC scheme and 60% haven’t done anything to get ready for the carbon reduction cap-and-trade scheme that comes into force in six months.

If you are a UK business owner you need to find out about this scheme today! Particularly as the government have now changed the scheme from just the CRC to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, which will start in April 2010.

Utility Bills Up 60%!

I got a bit of a shock this morning when I switched on to watch the morning news, the BBC reported that UK utility bills could rise by as much as 60% over the next 10-15 years according to UK government regulator Ofgem (Office of gas and electricity markets) in their “Energy Market Scenarios” report.

 This maybe a UK story but the implications are that worldwide everyone faces the same problem and it highlights how all of us, households as well as commerce and industry need to act now to become more energy efficient. This is one aspect that Ofgem, at brief review of their report, do not seem to have factored in to possible outcomes.

Queensland Australia Probes Energy Efficiency

The Sydney Morning Herald reports on Thursday Oct 8 that Queensland State will be focusing on the environment, but realising that energy efficiency is a key element to reach the desired goals:

The future impacts of a carbon trading scheme on Queensland and the state's energy efficiency programs will be under the microscope at a parliamentary hearing on Thursday. 

Environment and Resources Committee chair Carryn Sullivan said government played a vital role in promoting energy efficiency as the community tackled climate change.
