[FuelCellsWorks] Zero CO2, Around the Mediterranean in a hydrogen powered yacht ...: The objective of the Zero CO2 project is to sail around the Mediterranean using a clean carbon-free auxiliary motor (petrol motors are commonly used in yachts for all port manoeuvres). The yacht will be presented for the first time at the Paris Boat Show in December 2009.  A 12m craft built by the RM shipyard of La Rochelle, the yacht will be equipped with an electric motor driven by a hydrogen fuel cell, developed by CEA Liten of Grenoble.

[Climate Progress] My WorldChanging “Attention Grant” ”” David MacKay's “Sustainable ...: Besides, if I do a quick back-of-the-envelope calc, it looks like if every one of the 7 billion people on this planet saves a mere 25 watts per day over what they have been using previously, that amounts to 175 gigawatts of electricity the world’s power plants don’t have to generate, per day! Sure, that savings rate does not translate through 100% into the real world because large-scale generation considerations aren’t that simple —

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum: Europe | Is Sustainable Development sustainable?: "Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

[smashing green] Sustainable Homes That Turn Rubbish into Energy - smashing green: “The project has been designed to achieve nearly all Zero Energy Development standards, and hence the block has minimum space heating requirements. The scheme employs a wide range of sustainable features that contribute to its code 5 for Sustainable Homes rating where the grade 6 is the zero carbon level.

[Untitled] Britain's Hanham Hall Redevelopment Goes for Deep Green ...: pstrongGreen in Britain/strong Hanham Hall, in Bristol, England, will be the first zero-carbon, large-scale residential project built to Level 6 code, the highest standard set by the U.K.’s Code for Sustainable Homes, according to Britain’s Homes and Communities Agency.

[Sincerely Sustainable] VAST Composite Pavers Offer Numerous Environmental And Practical ...: By reducing the need for concrete, and consequently it’s production, VAST helps reduce all of the environmental catastrophes associated with the concrete production. While I’m taking most of what they say about their manufacturing process and product claims at face value, the product appears to do, and be, what it claims. VAST’s website  states that “VAST is the first composite material in the world, made almost entirely of recycled materials with the physical strength, durability and natural appearance to replace concrete.”

[Banknet India] RBI asks Indian banks to promote sustainable development - Banknet ...: The findings suggest that, generally, Asian businesses are far behind their US and European rivals on this issue. Another joint study by Asian Development Bank (ADB), UNDP and ESCAP on the 'Millennium Development Goals (MDG): Progress in Asia & the Pacific 2007' shows that on environmental sustainability, which is one of the eight goals of the MDG, India has regressed in the matter of carbon dioxide emission and consumption of ozone-depleting CFCs.

[Green Inc.] Combative Start to Senate Climate Hearings - Green Inc. Blog ...: We could use a similar tax or cap approach with respect to other bad things, such as air pollution (other than CO2) and oil/gas imports. If one must have subsidies (e.g., loan guarantees or tax credits), then they should be given equally to all non-emitting sources.

[RV Camping Blog] Freightliner Leads the Way in Environmental Responsibility: Seems to me it makes sense to make the big gas guzzling units more fuel efficient and sustainable rather than to build smaller vehicles in order to reduce energy use. Tractor tailers and vehicles that haul living spaces need a reasonable amount of cube and commercial vehicles and companies can’t help but benefit and be a ready market for greater efficiency.
