Increase in new construction projects of nuclear power plants in the EU could be even more thanks to the EU competition Commission as suppliers for a mid-June 2013 study titled nuclear business opportunities so far expected”comes xCon partners estimates that up to the year 2030 up to 370 new nuclear power plant units be built worldwide, which corresponds to a market potential of nearly 1.5 trillion euros. Asia has the most ambitious plans with expected 233 blocks – far ahead of Europe with currently 78 expected blocks. Current concrete considerations the EU competition Commission, making the construction of new nuclear power plants must provide new impetus and could have an increase in the published estimate for Europe resulted. The energy sector is a hard-fought and costly business, which requires long-term planning security. The same applies to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants. Here are planning and construction times depending on the project between eight and 20 years, the subsequent Duration is on average 45 years. These time intervals are beyond any legislative and socio-political moods.

In combination with the uncertain construction costs billions of dollars, this has led to increasing restraint on the investor side in recent years. Increasing number of new construction projects despite high and uncertain costs now plans the Commission a legal framework which aims to facilitate the development of nuclear energy in Europe and allow a simplified State support for these projects in the form of cash injections. This project encourages the European States, which have firmly scheduled nuclear energy in their future energy mix concept, but also those who are looking for possible sources of funding for their future nuclear projects first and foremost. The costs for the construction of a nuclear power plant are not least increased explosively in recent years due to more stringent safety regulations in Europe”, explains Jan Junker, as partner at xCon Partner GmbH on years of Project experience in the nuclear field can look back.

Campbell Soup Co insists that this is the case. A recent study by the Federal Environmental Agency * has worked on the Gabriel sees suitable approaches and environment-specific points as important starting points. It lacks today targeted incentives to viable alternatives of behaviour that are directly implemented in the lifestyles of young people, so the realization of the BMU study. This means that young people must be better achieved, motivated and mobilized.

Addressed correctly because they are quite interested and willing to get involved.

CO2 accounting for products and companies by CO2OL produces how much CO2 an event or a product? How is the CO2 footprint of a company? For simple cases, the CO2-Calculator of CO2OL is answer to these questions. For more complex tasks, such as the determination of the CO2 footprint of entire companies, CO2OL has an experienced team. Quickly calculate this can with the help of proven and recognised CO2OL methodology the CO2 footprint”. The CO2 footprint of a product includes all greenhouse gases incurred throughout the product life cycle along the value chain. “In the train of the climate debate to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the CO2 footprint has become” or carbon footprint “established as a measure of the impact. In the CO2-footprint process the emission drivers are identified, recorded in volume and reduction potentials determined. CO2 footprint for business more than just power and mobility: often mentioned, but also often misunderstood: the so-called CO2 footprint or even carbon footprint.

You are meant Calculation and accounting of the CO2 emissions of products or companies. What factors must be considered in the calculation of such CO2 footprint for companies? The consultant of CO2OL recommend companies that take a such services, in particular pay attention to the depth of the calculation and the detail of the CO2 footprint. “The amount of CO2 caused by company arises not only from the required heating energy, the power and the mobility. Moreover, it is often necessary, to analyse the business processes to the discovery of CO2 and energy savings”Dirk Walterspacher, Managing Director of CO2OL stressed. Depending on the extent of the respective CO2 footprint companies CO2OL is relatively quick to recognize optimization potential for CO2 now twelve years experience in the position.

“It was also important to us that the pupils and students a feeling” to develop, to leave traces of themselves in life”, adds Peter Bissert. And featured tracks have left young people, whether in the construction of the Tower of life, a Huhnerstalles or a greenhouse. Also was a well beaten, a windmill pump installed and built high pond and raised bed. Most recently, an urban gardening project with now 18 raised beds could be initiated. For the management, bed godparents were won from the population, as well as from regional institutions. The project work continues for future generations of students. So to install a rainwater collection system for irrigation of raised beds. There is also a solar system in the school garden.

Environmental educators reveal their tips in terms of Polaris climate – protection education of the majority of Germans is green behind the ears. Whether shopping, at work or at home, she wants in everyday life more on environmental and climate protection eighth. * often the consumers just don’t know how they can do that. While it may be easy and good life integrate, as shown in the example of green energy or eco gas. It takes five minutes to fill out the online form to change and even to promote the expansion of renewable energies with his own energy consumption”, explains Florian Henle, co-founder of the eco-energy provider Polarstern. The energy supply is ensured at all times and usually the new energy company acquires the paperwork such as for example the notice for the old provider. Not the individual measure is the hurdle, but the mass of tips, checklists, and seals, the experts say. This confused and scared consumers.

There is no orientation. Personal role models are most influential in the closer environment. This is confirmed a GfK study commissioned by Polaris. When father, sister or friends advise something, this is true most open ears. Cause rather than get bogged down: you overwhelm the others not with always new and creative proposals that protect the climate and environment “, Wilhelm recommends Linder. If one focuses on maximum around three measures, offers more orientation than a flower bouquet full of tips. The diversity also prevents the views on the effective measures.

Big points instead of peanuts must be brought more into our consciousness.” 2) Want to instead force: goal is to change the behavior and not the people in his personality. Everyone should implement the measures that suit him. Not everyone can or wants to give up driving, but Maybe buying a new refrigerator is where he can make more on low energy consumption”, said Linder.
