In a four-part series we've been researching the barriers to generating independent renewable energy, and here we suggest some potential solutions to the problems. Week 2 - Finance People are motivated to install microgeneration systems for environmental, self-sufficiency and - with the arrival of the Feed-in Tariff - economic reasons, but a major barrier for many is the initial capital outlay. Microgeneration installations can cost between £4,000 and £25,000. Access to sums of capital of this size is not realistic for the majority of UK homeowners. So how do we get around this?

" - on some investors who think that there is more of a future in investing in guns (and surveillance technology) than there is in cleantech. Hopefully she is wrong (surely big brother is getting more data than he needs - or can process usefully - right now) but the last 6 years make me wonder. However - everyone needs clean energy and only a few countries are creating massive police state infrastructures like the US and China are, so the cleantech market opportunity must be bigger when you take a global point of view. Anyone tired of lousy news from the markets should talk to Douglas Lloyd, director of Venture Business ...

The inventors of the Searaser, an ocean-based pump that drives an onshore hydro-electric turbine, claim it can generate electricity at a rate of 1.5p per kWh – less than a quarter of the cost of other renewable sources and even lower than coal, gas or nuclear. Dartmouth Wave Energy, the firm behind the device, says the device is so simple to construct and maintain that it will only cost around £200,000 per unit, with a total capital cost of £1.2m per MW. ‘It only has four moving parts so is much better able to stand the rigours of being deployed at sea,’ Dartmouth director Geoff White told The Engineer. ‘It doesn’t need any oil ...

Pollution control, "green" energy, social entrepreneurship: these buzzwords are not often associated with private equity and venture capital. This panel will look at how some innovative firms are tapping into the global equity markets to fund investment in areas that have been traditionally seen as too risky or otherwise unattractive. For many years entrepreneurs seeking to address society's concerns regarding the environment, health, education, etc have only had access to funds from charitable organisations, government initiatives and self-help groups. In the recent past, several investment ...

Hi Neil, my company has direct experience here with ground-source in a Norman church, an engagment with the Church in Wales and several years' experience installing various renewable technologies into Listed property. We are MSC accredited in several technologies already and are working on other accreditations. Take a look at www.isoenergy.co.uk If you let me have your e-mail address I will send you some case studies. In the UK solar technology can rarely make much contribution to spatial heating as demand peaks when output is lowest. For most churches the big utility bill is for heat rather than electricity (unless heating ...
Why are "aunt" and "uncle", emplyed in a nonfamilial sense, used as terms of endearment and honorifics in so many societies? Any tips for getting rid of static electricity in big, furry dogs? My Old English sheepdog is always rubbing against the couch and rolling around on the carpet. Every time I scratch him behind his ears, I get a slight jolt. I've tried rubbing down his favorite pillow with a Bounce sheet, but of course the static always comes back. Thanks to everyone in advance. I'm thinking about upgrading my laptop and use it for amateur DJ'ing in parties. What software and hardware do you guys ...
