Could this be the breakthrough in tackling shipping's climate impact?
Shipping could become the first industry to have a global carbon dioxide reduction measure. A legislative process has been set in motion at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) which, if approved, could see obligatory energy efficiency standards for new ships come into effect in 2013. A vote is expected at the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) in July. The energy efficiency rules would come in the form of a CO2 standard for new ships, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). The EEDI, which has been ...

Food producers to benefit from innovative crop irrigation systems
A four year research project led by Cranfield University aims to improve energy and water efficiency and crop quality through developing an innovative approach to irrigation practices. Rising energy costs, increasing water regulation and supermarket demands for premium quality produce are forcing growers to address the impacts of irrigation on crop quality whilst simultaneously reducing energy and water consumption. Nearly three-quarters of all field vegetable crops, the most important crop in the UK after potatoes in terms of crop value, are irrigated using overhead methods which are inefficient ...

Water missing from climate change agenda
The world`s economic growth and social welfare depend on the sustainable management of the world`s water resources in the context of climate change, according to a statement issued by the Global Water Partnership (GWP). The statement was delivered by GWP Chair Dr. Letita A. Obeng to the high level session of the world climate change conference on Friday, 10th December 2010. "When world leaders speak about climate, they invariably speak of water - of floods, droughts and failed harvests - and express their alarm. They are right to do so: because climate change is primarily about water," ...
