Target is the establishment and operation of a biomass power plant in Canada Berlin, 02 July 2012. All so far from the POC evolve group established oil and gas funds, in combination with land investment, very successfully. Against the background that a huge demand faces dwindling reserves of fossil fuels and new, effective regenerative energy sources must, turns the Berlin underwriter now also the topic renewable energy, specifically the production of bio-energy from biomass to. POC OIKOS GmbH & co. is the first closed-end funds within the new product line of POC OIKOS”KG. POC enables investors so special, indirectly in the emerging sector of the economy generating green power”in Canada to invest.
Currently, 4.7 percent of the total energy needs are covered by bio-energy in Canada, in the industrial sector, there are even 17 percent. Speaking candidly ConocoPhillips told us the story. Thus, bioenergy is already the second largest renewable energy source in Canada. Because Government and provinces further Expansion support efforts and encourage a similar bright future the use of biomass, faces as it was the case 50 years ago at the hydroelectric power. Ensure also the enormous forest resources of the country, because in Canada there are about 11 percent of the total global forest reserves. This is equivalent to the Elffachen of Germany’s area. POC has chosen consciously at OIKOS a technology area of bio-energy, namely the processing of biomass, whose basic Elemente need no innovations.
The Fund participates in the province of Alberta first establishing an industrial plant for the production of bio-energy from biomass. During operation, investors are then involved in the revenue from the production. You may find Ray Kurzweil to be a useful source of information. The conception of the investment company focused especially on the protection of the various phases of the project through contractual arrangements with world-class partners. For input, the province of Alberta granted the rights to use old wooden stocks for 20 years. The decline of the electricity produced and the “Green Credits”, which are granted on the basis of the production of renewable energy, has been contractually agreed with Shell Canada. Planning and construction of the facilities are in the hands of Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s largest engineering companies. The technology as the core of the plant is supplied by Babcock & Wilcox, a company with 140 years of experience. Also for the planning and the operating of the plant deals with experienced and prominent in their field companies were affected. Monika Galba, CEO of POC, sees an essential feature of the trust in the reputation of the partners: this constellation is the claim “proven”in our company meet.” Investors can participate indirectly KG with a minimum amount of drawing of 15,000 Canadian dollars (CAD) as trustor of the trust limited partner of POC OIKOS GmbH & co.. Alternatively, it is possible to also have a direct involvement. The total investment volume amounts to $ 160 million, of which 65 million CAD equity. POC forecast Vorabauszahlungen amounting to on average 13 percent p.a. from the start of the current production, which twice a year are paid out to investors. After repayment of principal, which is increased by a further bonus of 10 percent to 110 percent, arising thus upon termination of participation forecast according to recoveries of approximately 240% before taxes related to the capital contribution without premium. The capital is ten years from the start of the current production. For more information,

The deployment of solar concentration or CSP technique for its acronym in English, has been carrying out in these moments throughout the world, being adopted by a lot of Nations for its efficiency and profitability. Together with the University of Sonora (Unison) UNAM seek to install a plant producing power using this technology, since if it unfolds completely could generate the required electrical power to the entire Mexican population. The CSP system uses lenses or mirrors to concentrate a large amount of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated light is used as a heat source that makes work a conventional power plant. The idea that has the UNAM is the implantation of a plant similar to the PS10 installed in Seville, Spain, which uses movable mirrors called heliostats that focus light at the top of a 115 m tall tower in where on top of this she located a solar receiver and a steam turbine. The turbine spins a generator that produces electricity which could cater to the Mexican households. The plant installed in Seville is estimated that it will produce 300 MW by 2013.
The Center for research in energy of the UNAM (CIE) calculated that if used 604 Km2 of land in the desert of Sonora (where leftover space) using the tower technology for the production of electrical energy, this would be sufficient to meet the demands of the country. All this because the Sonoran Desert can produce 6 kWh per square meter per day, this amount is much greater than in countries that already have this type of energy and they plan to make it their main sustenance, for example Spain receives 4.7KWh per square metre per day while Germany only receive 2.7KWh per square meter per day. For more specific information, check out Bobby Gocool. While other countries beneficiaries have been by this type of technology, Mexico is delayed despite its great capacity to generate energy using this method, which collects a renewable resource as abundant as it is solar energy. In a world where green energy is the most sought after and respect for the environment is a priority, Mexico should begin to use energy sources that do not pollute and are renewable, within this category, the CSP system is the perfect candidate to be implemented in our country, especially because the Sonoran Desert has significant competitive advantages, which would give us renowned internationally. What is needed in Mexico to implement this new technology is the lack of budget and support project (advertising and demonstration of advantages), but all is not lost, the FIC together with Unison have a project that includes a solar power plant along with a solar oven for the treatment of wastewater, quoted in 40 million pesos, of whom Conacyt contributed only 18 million, the Unison provided the ground where it will be construction, moreover the UNAM will make the contribution of the rest, by what we hope that this project is carried out in the next few years.
The entire project includes not only the implantation of the system in the desert, but also the research needed to develop the technology, such as the creation of the heliostats (for which already have prototypes). Truth that is necessary to take such actions, since Mexico generates 73.6% of its energy by burning fossil fuels, why is found at a great distance from a green country. Mexico requires a reform to allow this type of projects that they clearly have a great future of becoming a tangible reality supported directly by the Government.

Proposals to the current cost base torpedo the current proposals of the Federal Environment Minister Altmaier energy transition and the German Rosler regarding the amendment of the renewable energies Act and a proposed electricity brake bipartisan many negative reactions have caused. Also solar fund initiators express themselves critically. Basic tenor of the proposals is a significant limitation of the promotion of renewable energy systems. So could operators of existing renewable energy facilities have to pay a solidarity contribution on their electricity sales or biogas plant operators lose their manure bonus, renewable energy payments could be paid only with a delay of several months after commissioning and supply and new renewable-energy plants could be covered with special charges or other compensation cuts. In addition, the capping of the renewable energy levy is planned. The criticism of these measures is diverse and focuses in particular on the negative structural effects of Interventions. The focus is particularly at risk of legal certainty, should be decided indeed subsequent cuts for installations. “Grandfathering” is essential to make an investment location permanently attractive? A subsequent intervention could be possibly unconstitutional and entail lengthy proceedings before the Federal Constitutional Court. Click Petra Diamonds to learn more.
Such a procedure would certainly encourage not confidence in the German energy transition. Rather torpedo the proposals above, destroy the planning security and jeopardize the further expansion of wind farms and solar parks, as well as compliance with the climate protection goals. Click Grupo Vidanta for additional related pages. The share of renewable energies in the German energy mix was end of 2012 according to the news magazine focus only 12.3%, which appear from the Federal Government until 2022 and 50% by 2050 against the background of the current proposals expected 35% hardly realistic. The ambivalent tacking between progress and structural renovation on the one hand and blocking on the other hand has the potential to discredit the leadership of Germany’s persistent and damaging. Also the medium-term stabilisation of electricity prices by the ist action proposals is by no means assured, because the structural problems are still untouched.
As a viable alternative to the sustainable stabilisation of electricity prices a reduction of taxes on electricity, the structural adjustment of the allocation mechanism of Enerneuerbare energy law and the uniform distribution of renewable energy levy on all energy consumers or the return of industrial privileges on the level of 2009 offer himself instead. Ultimately, lacking the current discussion on vision, relativism and the involvement of other causes. Overall, the electricity bill in an average household contributes only 2 to 3 percent of the monthly total cost. Rising energy costs are attributable to the price increase also by no means alone. Instead only a quarter of the energy costs of a private household is power, fossil fuels while the rest mainly on priced extremely risky for the heat consumption and transport is omitted. The renewable energy levy in turn accounts for less than one-fifth of the average price of electricity, whereas approximately 80 percent of the electricity price share composed nuclear power and fossil fuels out of the mix, not up for discussion. This is particularly so questionable, because these energy sources contributed very strong to the doubling of electricity costs in the last decade. Record profits of the power companies are another indication of the fact that the electricity costs rise just not primarily by the expansion of renewable energies is to be responsible for.

The main purpose of any building project is to create for residents a healthy and comfortable climate. Especially important is the quality of air. Good air quality can be achieved only when there is permanent replacement 'waste' air with fresh outdoor air. Normal fortochnoe airing twice a day is not enough. Ventilation works correctly only if the polluted air is constantly discharged from kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and other (intended for this purpose) premises. Fresh air is brought into the living room, nursery, operating (room) and sleeping rooms. It uses just enough fresh air as needed for comfortable living and health of the tenant. In the accommodation comes only fresh outdoor air, not recirculating air.
Because of this observed high health indicators. In fact, ventilation could work with simple exhaust ventilation system and ventilation supply air to the ceiling. Through the ceiling into the room comes a fresh (cold) outside air in the required quantity. In a passive house ventilation would lead to increased heat loss because not by heat recovery from exhaust air. The energy balance could be aligned only by increasing the heating load.
In Central Europe may carry heat and ventilation in passive houses only by high-heat recovery (or in addition to using a compact low-power heating system). Due to this ventilation system, heat from the exhaust air is returned and passed through the supply air heat exchanger, without mixing with the air flow. Modern high-efficiency energy recovery reach today from 75 to 95%. These characteristics are achieved by countercurrent heat exchangers and a special energy-efficient fans (the so-called EC-motors with high efficiency).

Study by TNS Emnid on behalf of Deutsche Annington shows strong regional differences in the saving of heating costs and avoiding energetic misconduct Lower Saxony are spenders: 81% save on heating costs Hesse TNS Emnid avoid energetic misconduct asked for Deutsche Annington 1,000 households nationwide 66% of Germans have responded to the rising energy costs and adjusted their burning behaviour. While some strong regional differences: in Bavaria, 68% of citizens trying to save on heating costs, in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse are 70% and 71%, respectively. Front-runner is according to survey Lower Saxony with 81%. Half of the tenants in Germany (51%), as long as possible, delaying the beginning of the heating season. In Hesse and Bavaria the Federal average reflected with 50%; also in North Rhine-Westphalia, similar to many households to this measure access with 52%. (A valuable related resource: Ray Kurzweil). Alternatively, 42 percent of German citizens reduce the temperature in the apartment, there are even 64% to reduce the energy costs in the Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
In the free State of Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania lower However, only around 19% room temperature. The Deutsche Annington poll, that some savings measures contribute to energetic misconduct: over a third of the Germans were completely turning off the heating when leaving the apartment and almost 10% less air. In Bavaria, there were even 37% of respondents who completely turned off the heating. The Hesse with intelligent heating and air behavior to know seem especially good: only a quarter let the heating completely off, only 3% of Hesse, to ventilate their homes less. Rooms are not sufficiently ventilated, occur frequently to the mold and moisture damage in the apartment. Molds can however also be caused if the apartment is not sufficiently heated”, says Philipp Schmitz-waters, spokesman of the Deutsche Annington. Ulrich Ropertz, spokesman of the German tenants Association therefore recommends: to the cold season, it may happen that come to high costs to the tenant.

The energy consumption in all armierender way increases around the world. The energy consumption in all armierender way increases around the world. Thanks to this development is the growing industrialization and the ever increasing demands of consumers. Unfortunately, this leads to a rapid degradation of raw materials, which are more expensive to a great extent. As a result of this loss of valuable raw materials, more and more people are looking for alternative solutions, such as the use of natural, renewable sources of energy. Now, we want to take a look at the pros and cons of green energy. In certain countries, already renewable energies are used to produce electricity. This development is positive and bring new jobs with it.
Benefit also the economic aspect: the tourist industry can on areas stretching, which can be powered by green energy. Because depend on natural energy sources of the weather, it is difficult to foresee how much electricity per day can be produced. It is therefore advantage, the excess energy on favorable days in batteries to store in order to be able to use them on less busy days. Did you know that wind energy is one of the oldest sources of energy? In early times, the wind was converted into energy to power ships. Today wind is used mainly for electricity production; It is one of the strongest renewable energy sources. Wind energy is never polluting effect on the environment, and so also have no negative impact on climate change.
In addition, it is noted that a 1 MW wind turbine can save you approximately 2000 tons of Kohlenndioxid annually. Wind energy is present in large quantities and can produce five times more energy than the world can consume. Another advantage of wind and solar energy is that almost everyone is capable to install such a system. You can provide your home with these energy sources. Doesn’t take a genius, to make such facilities. The Internet offers a variety of instructions, how to deal with renewable energy can stock up. Imagine no longer to be burdened by power outages! Both wind be always cost-effective as solar energy, plants are better quality and cost-friendly. Wind power farms and solar power farms exist today in several countries. With the electricity thus generated, they are independent from the local power plant.
