Strathclyde Associated Korea report: investing in green energy than fossil fuels, says UN

Clean technologies attract $ 140bn, compared to 110 billion dollars for gas, coal and electricity

Energy Green exceeded the fossil fuels to attract investment for the production of electricity for the first time last year, according to figures released today by the United Nations.

Wind, solar and other clean technologies attracted $ 140bn (£ 85000000000), compared to 110 billion dollars for gas and coal to produce electricity, with more than one third of species for green Great Britain and the rest of Europe.

The fastest growing renewable investments from China, India and other developing countries, that are being capture transition to the West from fossil fuels to improve the security climate change and energy address.

Strathclyde Partnership report: "There have been many milestones reached in recent years, but this report suggests energies RES have now reached a tipping point where it is so important – if not more important – in the energy mix of fossil fuels, "said Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations for the environment.

It was very encouraging to see that several new sectors renewable energy have been to attract capital, while the various geographical areas, such as Kenya and Angola have been entered on the ground, "he added.

The United Nations still considers $ 750 billion must be spent worldwide between 2009 and 2011 and the year began with a dramatic decline of 53% in its first investment in renewables quarter to $ 13.3bn.

Metering of energy efficiency and other measures, more than $ 155bn of new capital was invested in energy companies own projects and, in spite of capital raised from public equity markets has fallen from 51% to $ 11.4 billion and green businesses have emerged over the shares drop over 60% in 2008, according to the report, Global trends in sustainable energy, prepared for the UN by the New Energy Finance (NEF) in the council of London.

The wind, when the United States is the world leader, has attracted the largest investment in the new world $ 51.8bn, followed by Solar Energy to $ 33.5bn. The first represents a mere 1% annual growth, while increases in second year nearly 50% over a year.

Biofuels are the next most popular investment, earning $ 16.9 billion, but down 9% compared to 2007, the sector has been affected by problems of excess capacity in the United States and the political opposition, with ethanol being blamed for rising food prices.

Europe remains the main focus of investment in green energy to 50 billion dollars injected projects in all the continent, an increase of 2% over the previous year, while the figure for the United States was 30 billion dollars, up 8%.

But while overall spending in the West fell nearly 2%, there was an increase 27% to 36.6bn dollars in developing countries led by China which pumped in $ 15.6bn mainly in wind and biomass plants.

China has more than doubled its installed capacity of 11GW of wind turbine capacity, while wind Indian investment was 17% to 2.6 billion $, While the total expenditure in clean technology rose $ 4.1 billion in 2008, 12% compared to 2007 levels.

A series of new government recovery treatment green – packages designed to boost the economy and the promotion of measures to fight against climate change – have been set by ministers in the world.

The collapse of global investment in renewable energy in the first quarter of 2009 has generated the concern of the United Nations and New Energy Finance, London based consultancy that compiled the figures from the UN.

Michael Liebreich, Director General of the NEF, said the second quarter showed "green shoots" recovery, indicating that this year could find themselves with investments in the top of the range of 95 billion dollars to 115bn, but still fourth loss in at least 2008.

About 3 billion dollars in new funds raised by IPOs or secondary problems on stock markets in the second quarter, compared to none in the first three months of this year.

Clean Energy Index New technology stocks, which had fallen from a 450-134 high in March, had rebounded to 230, while more funding for the project have been raised over the last six weeks in the 13 before, "he said.

But Steiner and Liebreich insist that politicians do more to stimulate growth.

Partners Strathclyde entity: "There are strong arguments in favor of other measures, such as the obligation was assumed by the banks to increase lending to the sector, providing exemptions from capital gains for investments in clean technologies, creating a framework of obligations green and so on, all designed to ensure that investment flows "Said Liebreich.

It is important to strengthen the funds begin to flow immediately, and not a year or two, added: "Many policies to achieve growth in the medium term are already in place, including food in the tariff regimes, the binding targets for renewable energy and tax incentives. There is too much emphasis among some policy makers about the mechanisms of support and not enough on the urgent needs of investors at this time. "For Terry Macalister.

All the lighting experts out there?

The bulbs in my kitchen over 17 years, I can not believe they are still work, have the same kind of around the house. I understand that the consumption of electricity much more. LED hear is the way forward, tried check on this, but do not realize it sooooo bulbs to many there, and Gee Whiz. The live, I want to replace regularly, but the old lamp in the shape of a light crude, which I use these bulbs to replace, it would be energy efficient, I bought from The Home Depot that swirl around, she was told not to use them, if you have an accident can make you sick, sorry, I do not know the name that comes in a package lime green and, of course manufactured in China, where else would they agree? What LED? bulbs you rec? I need about 20 of them …. Thank you very much.

I use three bulbs in my house type. * Standard tungsten lamps still must be used in any way or 3-lights "Regulatory" compact fluorescent lamp * (CFL) lamps can be used anywhere else has been using Floor lamps (these bulbs contain mercury, so they must be disposed of as hazardous waste) * LED lamps are very low output and the three that I bought for testing (which are the most expensive of the three) to use as a night, is that the SID.
