Frost & Sullivan - Electric Vehicle Subsidy in the UK: Good Intentions, Short on Detail

LONDON - The UK government subsidies to boost low-carbon transport will not be a significant cost for the Treasury, but at the same time they will not improve the UK’s carbon footprint in the first few years of its roll out. The announcement comes as an exciting boost to the UK automotive industry and those European automakers who may wonder whether Electric Vehicles have the necessary political support to be a success. The crucial question however is: will there be enough supply for the demand? Will we have another case of the Tata Nano, where orders for the vehicle have drastically exceeded the 40,000 which will be produced in 2009? What is also interesting is the absence of details in the plan announced and also there being no assessment of the feasibility of supporting a sizeable volume of Electric Vehicles once they are on the road.

Clean Coal to Sustain Increasing Energy Needs - Web Conference With Frost & Sullivan

LONDON - Faced with concerns about the climate change and global warming, various industry groups hold up clean coal as a solution. The power generation market is characterised by rising energy demand and fossil fuels’ growing importance in the energy mix. Relatively stable prices and geographically diversified reserves make coal a fossil fuel suitable to sustain increasing energy needs. Growing concerns over rising level of carbon emissions dictate the need for cleaner technologies to burn coal, driving next generation clean coal technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS). At the same time, advanced clean coal technologies such as CCS are at a pre-commercialization stage and face a number of challenges.

Far East Energy Announces Gas Production

HOUSTON - Far East Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FEEC) announced today that it has achieved critical desorption pressure (CDP) in a portion of the 1H Pilot Area in its Shouyang Block in Shanxi Province, China. Gas production in the Shouyang Block has been increasing almost daily since January 1, rising almost 300% in the past three months. Production for the 1H area is now over 200,000 cubic feet, or 200 Mcf, per day. Far East believes that the quantity of gas being produced in the field is sufficient to begin discussions with its Chinese partner, China United Coalbed Methane Company (CUCBM), regarding a gas marketing agreement that would allow Far East to jointly market its gas with CUCBM through a gas sales facility. Far East believes that any initial gas sales facility would initially be a compressed natural gas (CNG) facility and would likely have a capacity of 1 to 3 million cubic feet per day. This sales facility would be constructed to allow for growth in the event the area of desorption grows and more gas is produced and gathered for sale.
