Solar Energy Conversion Process: Light and Heat

The scientific struggle to increase the efficiency in which renewable energy is used and then reused has proven to be a daunting task. Large wind farms and fields of solar panels are commonly used to generate energy through solar radiation. Congruently, investors are having a troublesome time competing with traditional oil and electric suppliers.

Supply fears hit UN carbon credits

FT, 6 Sep 2010

Uncertainty about the supply of UN-issued carbon credits has led to their price hitting a four-month high. Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) have surged on international carbon markets in recent weeks after a UN board acted over concerns that chemical plants in China and elsewhere in the developing world were deliberately overproducing HFC 23, a potent greenhouse gas, in order to claim the saleable credits for subsequently destroying it.

A carbon border tax can curb climate change

FT, 6 Sep 2010

As global growth picks up after the economic crisis, carbon emissions are going back up too. With China and India back on track to double their gross domestic product every decade, and with coal providing nearly 30 per cent of global energy, the chances of stabilising and reducing emissions are low. Indeed, little progress has been made in the last two decades. Only recessions lower emissions – and then only for a short time.
Low-carbon market to treble by 2020 - HSBC

Reuters, 6 Sep 2010

The world's low-carbon energy market is likely to treble by 2020, HSBC analysts forecast on Monday, saying that rising concerns about resource scarcity would support broad consensus on the threat of climate change.
Novacem: Cement That Eats Carbon

Bloomberg, 3 Sep 2010

The construction materials industry emits gobs of carbon dioxide, but a British startup has devised a new cement that absorbs and stores CO2 when it's produced

Carbonica is a global brand and our carbon offsets fund reforestation and forest restoration programmes in Central America.

Climate change is a rapidly evolving process. Even the most conservative scientific models point to a dramatic global warming within this century. These models may in fact underestimate the global temperature rises that will take place within the next few decades.

Carbonica was born from our own sense of alarm in the light of the scientific data. We feel that urgent action on a large scale is essential to achieve an efficient mitigation of climate change.

Carbonica is based on the principle that mitigation can only happen with carbon capture from the atmosphere, through large scale reforestation programmes. Anything less is bound to lead to an irreversible and run-away warming process.

Our partners in the US and Central America share our concern and have an excellent understanding of the ecology of reforestation. They also have extensive experience working with local communities in Central America.

We have adopted the strictest code of practice. Our carbon offsets are guaranteed to stay in place for the duration. This means that trees damaged by fire or any other reason are replaced to ensure the highest quality of carbon offsets.

We believe that the way of the future is to completely eliminate our carbon footprint. This is why we have introduced our zero footprint community. You automatically become a member by simply offsetting your entire life’s present and past carbon emissions. You can do this in the section my life. Businesses can also eliminate the footprint of all their activities in the section my business.

By offsetting your entire life you essentially eliminate your contribution to climate change.

Our vision for sustainable modern living is to achieve a zero footprint for all individuals and businesses.
