Sector Research – Energy from Waste

Author:  Alex Colvill, Head of Research 350 PPM 350 PPM is now raising money for Waste to Energy Solutions Ltd, a UK company developing multiple Waste to Energy plants in the UK and abroad. The sector background relevant to this company is covered in our new research report which can be download here: Sector Research: Energy From Waste   _____________ Introduction Worldwide government policy is increasingly influenced by the linked premises that our planet is undergoing potentially catastrophic warming and that its resources are finite and should therefore be used as efficiently as possible. As a result, many countries are transitioning from linear take-make-dispose resource models to more sustainable cycles [...]

Updated introduction to the low carbon economy and 350 PPM

As part of our drive to improve the research output here at 350 PPM, we have redone our previously released introduction to climate change, the Paris Agreement, the low carbon economy and 350 PPM.  For those who read the previous version, the content is unchanged, but the presentation has been updated, hopefully making it a more pleasant experience to read.  The research team is also currently working on some brand new research; we hope to bring this to you soon. Please download the report at the following link: Environmental Sector Under The Paris Agreement

Sector Research Note – Mexican Electricity Sector

Author: Alexander Colvill, Research Analyst at 350 PPM. MJ Hudson Advisers (FRN: 692447) have deemed that this text does not constitute a financial promotion. Introduction This research note gives a quick overview of the Mexican electricity sector, with a particular focus on solar PV (Photovoltaic), for which Mexico is ideally suited, but which is currently massively underdeveloped versus its potential. This is based on the IEA (International Energy Agency) publication 'Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries, Mexico 2017', chapters 8 and 9, unless otherwise indicated. Demand Electricity demand in Mexico has grown steadily for decades as its economy grew and as a larger percentage of its [...]

Sector Research Note – Grid-Scale Energy Storage

Author: Alexander Colvill, Research Analyst at 350 PPM. MJ Hudson Advisers (FRN:692447)  have deemed this text does not constitute a financial promotion. Executive Summary Electricity supply in the UK and around the world is slowly shifting from fossil fuel sources to renewable ones. Most renewable sources are intermittent, only creating energy when the sun shines, or the wind blows. Consequently, we expect it to get much harder to match supply with demand. In this research note, we examine this problem and outline possible solutions. These include the use of interconnectors (electricity links with neighbouring countries), demand side response, new fossil fuel power [...]

Sector Research Note – Nanotechnology Insulation

Author: Alexander Colvill, Research Analyst at 350 PPM. MJ Hudson Advisers Ltd (FRN:692477) have deemed that this text does not count as a financial promotion. Executive Summary •  This research note looks at nanotechnology insulation, a new method of improving energy efficiency in our homes. •  Energy efficiency is of particular relevance in the UK, as our housing stock is one of the least efficient in Western Europe [1]. •  As well as combating climate change, and simply reducing energy bills, we see that improving energy efficiency can help fight fuel poverty, improve health, improve energy security and provide  jobs and GDP growth. •  Houses lose [...]
