BlueGlobe Energy Feed A very large proportion of our impact on the world's environment and climate is down to the processes by which we generate energy and the mechanisms by which we transport ourselves and our products around the planet. This section therefore is where we put news reports on changes to energy and transport strategies, technologies and emissions that may help (or hinder) action on climate change.

Some barriers and opportunities are general to all investment, while others are specific to clean energy investment. The study was part of a project that included another country study (PDF - 1.7 mb), in Nigeria. A synthesis report (PDF - 1.1 mb) pulled together the lessons from these studies and the literature on domestic issues, as well as looking at international investment law through the same lens, asking how it might foster or frustrate increase clean energy investment. http://www.blueglo.be/2008/09/paper_clean_energy_investment.html http://www.blueglo.be/2008/09/paper_clean_energy_investment.html Energy Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Pitching Green Cars as High-Tech Hybrid cars might be all the rage among Western drivers worried about high gas prices and pollution.
