Ecocrops Internationa asked how enviromentally friendly are the Chinese?




China’s energy policy and its effect on the environment is big news now and with recent events involving Africa have raised the World’s attention.

EcoCrops International takes great pride in the sustainability of our ethical green investments, which why we find the latest news of Egypt’s plan to build the World’s largest coal-fired power disturbing.

China had maintained in its South-South climate agreement to ensure clean energy projects where their number one priority.  However it would appear that China is more interested in promoting its coal industry and hydro power projects that are a serious risk to the environments.

There is some god news with Chinese backing, Egypt is developing the World’s largest Solar Farm.

What is concerning for Eco Crops International and will be for any person that takes looking after environment seriously, is that a much of the loans provided by the Export-Import Bank of China, and the China Development Bank, went primarily to coal, hydropower, and the oil industry between 2000 and 2016.

In 2009 China proposed an initiative to build over 100 clean energy projects which would help of course, but leaves many experts saying that China could do a lot more.

Makoma Lekalakala, director of the non-governmental organisation Earth life Africa in Johannesburg, said “We hope that at this year’s FOCAC there will be a greater focus on Chinese investment in clean energy in Africa.”

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...
