EcoCrops International Update


EcoCrops International reports that the  EU’s Renewable Energy Directive has been recast, raising the renewables target and establishing a clear and stable regulatory framework on self-consumption. Despite the positives there has also been criticism, especially over the definition of biomass. What were these concerns and what has the recast changed?

In 2009, the Juncker Commission set about building policies to ensure “a resilient Energy Union and a forward-looking climate change policy”. As part of this, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) was created, which initially set the binding target of 20% final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020.
Since its creation, the RED has been revised and evaluated a number of times and now forms part of the European Union’s (EU) Clean Energy Package (2016). In June, RED was again recast at a meeting of the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council. Amendments were made to ensure that targets and frameworks are in line with the progress Europe is making in creating a greener energy network.

EcoCrops International Biomass project in Estonia has been designed to help the EU commission to meet it targets

Which Cannabis Stocks to Buy?

Here are a few suggestions 1) Canopy Growth Corp. Although Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC) is possibly the most well-rounded of all Canadian marijuana growers, it's still projected to lose money in the fiscal year 2019 by Wall Street. The reason is that of its need to expand the company's infrastructure in international markets, as well as build up its existing brands and marketing strategy. Canopy Growth also needs to finish the expansion of its 5.6 million square feet of growing space in British Columbia, which is costing a pretty penny. The good news is that Canopy Growth has more than enough capital to complete its expansion in B.C. and internationally.
