What are we trying to achieve?
 Develop environmental business ideas
 Identify potential funding sources
 Develop sustainable products, reduce waste and
lower carbon emissions
Where might these areas be?
Technologies
 Energy
 Waste
 Water
 Transport
 Buildings
Countries?
 BRIC’s
 Brazil
 Russia
 India
 China
Why the BRICs?
What about Ireland?






Best wind resources in Europe.
Best wave and tidal resources.
Climate suitable for biomass.
Promising geo-thermal resources.
Adequate solar resources.
Small manageable communities.

Essential to parallel existing system.
Green bonds.
A Green Bank – similar to US proposal.
And to ICC and ACC.
Income stream from sale of carbon allowances.
Securitisation of carbon savings.
A new philosophy.
And the UK?
 UK Government is committed to unprecedented
investment over the coming decades
 Estimated investment of up to £200 billion in the
energy system alone over the period to 2020
(Ofgem, 2009)
 Further significant investment in other key green
sectors such as transport, waste, water and flood
defences
A Mechanism?
 The Government announced the Green
Investment Bank (GIB) in 2010
 Committed in the 2011 Budget to fund the GIB
with £3 billion over the period to 2015.
 Offshore wind has the largest expected
investment (£50 to £130 billion nominal) between
now and 2020
 Meet Government European renewable energy
targets
 Deeper water risks not understood
 Scale-up not occurring
What else might it do?
 Non domestic energy efficiency could be applied
across many industrial and commercial
businesses.
 Total investment could amount to £16 billion by
2020.
 Delivering non domestic energy efficiency is not
only one of the solutions to reduce carbon
emissions in the UK with the lowest costs, it
would also help to improve energy security and
long term competitiveness of UK industry.
And?
 Non-Local Authority Commercial and industrial
waste is a smaller sector in absolute terms, with
investment most likely around £1 billion by 2020
 While there is no direct target for the commercial
and industrial waste sector to meet, the sector
can make an important contribution to the
 A £1 billion waste market (a roughly 50-50 split
between EFW and MRF in most scenarios)
intervention might generate 0.4 TWh electricity
per annum (from energy from waste plant) and
reduce emissions by 2.6 mtCO2pa (mostly from
materials recovery facilities).
