SUSTAINABLE CLEANTECH SOLUTION TO IMMINENT CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTER

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sunshine Coast, October 25, 2009 – With less than two months to go before the UN Climate Change Conference, the leaders of most countries are a worried lot. Firstly, before the meeting starts, they have to find a green power source or pay hefty fines that could cripple their economies that are already reeling under the global recession. Secondly, they have to find a sustainable long term solution to the looming global threat that climate change poses. EcoEnforcers, a Queensland, Australia based company, has come up with a sustainable renewable energy source that meets both short term as well as long term needs.

On December 7, 2009, leaders from over 192 countries are scheduled to meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to find a framework to combat climate change to replace the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012.

The Kyoto Protocol is a UN-led international agreement [reached in Kyoto, Japan in 1997] that went into force in 2005. Its goal was to address the problems of climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Signatories committed to moving away from greenhouse-gas-producing fossil fuel energy sources [such as oil, gas, coal] to ‘green’ renewable sources [such as hydroelectric, wind and solar power, tidal, biomass]. They are legally bound to meet their emissions targets or face penalties.

While coal and oil-fired power plants that belch out tons of carbon dioxide are the prime cause of emissions, those plants cannot be shut down at short notice. Such a move would have disastrous financial and economic consequences. For one thing, millions of people depend on the coal and oil industries for their livelihood. For another, other commercial activity would come to a grinding halt without electricity [that is needed in homes and factories] and gasoline/diesel [needed for transportation and other activities].

Under the Kyoto Protocol, emission targets could be met in several ways, including more fuel efficient cars, less coal-fired power plants, etc. Another method is called voluntary carbon offsets that allow governments to pay for projects that mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions. However, these are inadequate solutions. They only reduce the carbon price whereas the need of the hour is to deploy clean renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels.

This is where EcoEnforcers’ urban renewable energy solutions actually help increase available energy supply while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. According to Jarreau Terry, Founder and CEO, their process not only addresses the future of urban renewable base load power supply, but also the community’s need for providing ‘green’ jobs, high quality fresh produce including seafood, affordable accommodation, and a number of by-products that put the entire venture into a positive position. It is a global solution to urban renewable energy using a biomass hybrid battery technology to produce 2 x 1MW of power, 1MW for their fully designed “EcoEstates” and 1 MW put into the grid.
