Global Warming Business
This is the web site:
- that watches and reports on the business opportunities which are arising now from Global Warming
- which will report on Global Warming Legislation, and provides information for businesses to help them comply
- which will let business managers participate in the global warming debate through the Global Warming Business Forum which we shall introduce as our hit rate increases.
This site will also provide Links to the sites and resources you need to know about in order to stay ahead of the global warming game.
Global Warming Businesses: are businesses providing products and services, based upon the opportunities arising from legislation, market forces, and targets set by industry to reduce carbon emissions and improve sustainability.
Why create this web site now?
We think that 2005 will be a year of change in how climate change issues are perceived. A year when board room awareness is translated into action.
The introduction of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the coming into force of the Kyoto Protocol through February 2005, will put reducing carbon emissions at the top of the global business agenda. 
Act now to:
- cut carbon emissions;
- mend the carbon cycle by using biofuels and by composting;
- defend you company by reducing reliance on fossil fuel energy prices;
- contribute to the revolution that is needed to achieve a low carbon economy.
The UK is due to lead the G8 Summit will and the Blair Government has every intention to put climate change at the heart of the international debate.
A further incentive for anyone still unsure about the validity of climate change research, also arises to an ever increasing degree from the threat of rising oil prices, and the instability of the world’s oil addicted economies in the event of a major oil crisis.
By producing in-house biofuels such as:-
- methane from anaerobic digestion of the company’s biological waste products
- wood from Close Rotational Coppicing;
- silage and specially chosen high energy yield crops;
- ethanol, methanol etc. from waste plastics;
companies can generate power, or simply use these fuels within the production process - thus to a degree insulating their activities against global fuel instability.
The UK now has a very firmly established dual supply system in the electricity field, with each member of the public now able to buy either non-renewable sourced power or “green” electricity. The demand is now so high that the ROCS (Renewable Obligation Credit Scheme) for small (even for micro-generation) is able to offer a healthy premium on the Fossil Fuel equivalent.
Watch out America. Watch out Bush!
Europe and the other Kyoto participants might just steal a lead on you by developing business models, and the new technology, to pour future global warming business exports into the states as the whole Global Warming Business scene develops over the next 10 years or so.

Fact Sheet: Until the industrial revolution in the 18th century biomass provided the world’s primary energy source. It still provides over 50% of energy needs in some developing countries although only 3% in the EU (15 states) and less than 1% in the UK. Worldwide, wood fuel meets about 6% of total energy demand.
Data on total biomass production and its potential for use in so many forms is difficult to summarise. It has been estimated that worldwide biomass production is about eight times the total world energy consumption, and that is before we try to exploit the resource on a large scale by growing energy fuels on an industrial scale. Biomass can again become of wide importance in a sustainable economy.
