Generate Billions Through Energy Efficiency

Environment Northeast, a New England non-profit advocacy group, have produced a fascinating report that reveals that all the money businesses, governments, utility companies and others are spending on energy efficiency programs not only reduces energy use, but also pumps cash back into the economy – they estimate $6 - $8.50 for every $1 spent. It does this as energy efficiency helps businesses grow, creates jobs and stimulates spending.

UK Government Release Funds

The clean energy technologies of the future will have access to an extra £20 million in government-backed venture capital support, Ed Miliband announced today.

New advances in technologies such as energy efficiency, wave, tidal, fuel cells and solar power are dependent on a mixture of R&D grant support and venture capital, but the flow of private money for early stage development has fallen back since the downturn started in 2008.

The allocation announced today is the latest instalment of £405 million announced in the Budget for low carbon.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband said:

“It is essential we meet our long term climate change goals. That’s why we’re intervening with support for tomorrow’s green energy technologies.

“Where market capital isn’t coming forward, we’re stepping in to plug the gap as speedily as possible.”

HSBC Report - Best Time For Energy Saving Business

London - Global revenues from climate-related businesses such as energy efficiency rose by 75 percent in 2008 to $530 billion and could exceed $2 trillion by 2020, HSBC Global Research estimated on Friday.

Where Are They Now?

I often report on this blog how Enigin Distributors are doing around the globe and I thought I would bring you up to date with two Distributors we have featured before, just to see how they are fairing.

If you check through our videos you will see a couple interviews with Rob Grooms in the US and Trent Noonan in Australia.

I am pleased to announce that they are both moving forward to ever greater success.

UK Firm’ Green Ideas Should Be Protected - CBI

Intellectual property regime should be maintained at Copenhagen climate change talks

The CBI today called on the government to ensure UK firms that develop innovative low-carbon products will continue to have their intellectual property (IP) protected under international frameworks. The UK's leading business group said the current IP system is working, and urged the government not to throw away the UK's competitive advantage at global climate change talks in Denmark later this year.

Speaking at the CBI’s Climate Change Forum in London, John Cridland, CBI Deputy Director-General, said that the government must recognise that protection for intellectual property is a key incentive for businesses to develop and deploy new low-carbon technology.

Money For Nothing For UK Businesses

The Carbon Trust in the UK has launched a programme of business loans aimed at small and medium sized businesses to help them reduce their energy bills by up to £40 million.

 

The Big Business Refit will offer SMEs financial support along with advice to improve their energy efficiency by replacing old for new equipment to help make companies more efficient financially and energy wise.

 

During the first six months of 2009 the Carbon Trust has seen a large increase in demand for its interest-free loans to help businesses invest in energy-saving technologies.

New Heights For Energy Efficiency Businesses

At Enigin we understand how exciting it is to be in the the energy saving and efficiency industry but it is always good to see that others recognise it for themselves. The Financial Times on August 20 highlighted how energy efficiency is really taking off. 

According to the FT the attention of the US was captured when it was announced that the Empire State Building in Manhattan was to embark on a $500m retrofit to make it more energy-efficient.

The retrofit includes amongst other items high-tech lighting, furnaces and air conditioners, plus replacement of thousands of windows with better insulated ones and is expected to reduce the building’s energy use by almost 40 per cent.

Branko Terzic, the energy and resources regulatory policy leader for consultancy Deloitte said, “You have one of the marquee buildings in the United States demonstrating an old building can increase its energy efficiency,”  He also stated that he felt such high-profile efforts were helping to make energy efficiency “cutting edge”..

The FT also states that the global potential for energy efficiency is vast.

Energy Efficiency Key To Future

CLIMATE change is a huge issue and one that at Enigin we are very concerned about – although it must be admitted that the majority of the businesses and entrepreneurs that we deal with are also concerned about but claim is not their number one reason for trying to save energy or get into the energy saving business.

The main concern for business owners and those looking to start an energy saving business as Enigin Distributors is money. In the current financial climate businesses are desperate to save money, and by using Enigin’s energy saving products and monitoring energy use with the real-time energy monitor Eniscope, they are able to see that money go straight to their bottom line, rather than the utility company.

Enigin Training Appreciated

Enigin Distributors have enjoyed and approciated the training provided for them to gain success in their own energy saving businesses.
