Subject: We’re on the move
Date: June 25, 2008

Pincas,

We know that the 350 project is working best when it moves out of our hands and into the hands of others.  We’ve created 350.org so that you can take this very scientific target, 350 parts per million CO2, and give it the life and vision it needs to become the one number our leaders can’t ignore. People are already organizing in their communities everywhere around the world, applying their ingenuity and creativity, giving 350 the life and momentum it needs to take off.

Check out the exciting actions already bubbling up, and then plan your own community action to add your voice to the movement:    http://www.350.org/take-action

News stories related to climate change are rolling in from around the globe - ballooning gas prices and fuel riots, food shortages, typhoons and major flooding in parts of the world, but our story is building as well - hopeful, bold, and united in a call for a fair future.  Here are a few examples of incredible 350 actions:

Spreading the Word:

On Monday, June 23, 2008, in conjunction with over 150 signatories from around the globe, the Tallberg Foundation in Tallberg, Sweden took out full page ads in the New York Times, the Financial Times, and the International Herald Tribune.

The advertisement is a lead up to the 2008 Tallberg Forum, where Dr. James Hansen and Desmond Tutu, among others, will discuss our need to address the 350 limit. Read more about it on our blog.

Art for the Cause:

Craftster.org, Etsy, BurdaStyle, and several other on-line crafting organizations have teamed up with 350.org to launch Creativity 350 contests, challenging interested crafters to make the most inspiring creations and t-shirt designs to help promote the campaign and spread the number.  Check out the contest details on our blog and our new 350 Postcards project at http://www.350.org/take-action.

Raising the Number to a Higher Power:

United Church of Christ congregations in Massachusetts, USA have launched a call to action to bear witness to the realities of climate change and spread the spiritual significance of committing to reach 350 by ringing church bells 350 times.  More news will appear about this effort on 350.org soon.

These efforts are a wonderful beginning — the most notable thing about them may be that they are still a beginning.  International negotiations on climate change move at a snail’s pace, but with this kind of energy and momentum building around 350, we have a chance to bring it up to speed with new creativity and new urgency.

Please take action today and help us build these beginnings into a truly global movement:

With deepest thanks for your efforts,

The 350.org Team - Bill, Jamie, Jeremy, Jon, Judit, Kelly, Phil, May, Will

Isaac Berzin to enlist Israelis into the business of green.
By Karin Kloosterman
June 04, 2008

While Israel has some of the world’s most promising clean technology companies for producing renewable energy — consider Ormat and its geothermal power station in Nevada or Solel’s solar energy plant in the Mohave Desert - proving viability on Israeli turf has been a sore spot for inventors and would-be international and local investors.

Lack of policy and infrastructure in the Israeli government stalls the rapid implementation of new clean technologies. This harms not only Israelis who need cleaner, alternative fuel sources, but it is a disservice to the environment and people around the world, who would readily adopt this tiny nation’s innovative solutions if proven they could work.

Thanks to a little green vision in the form of algae, Isaac Berzin, the founder of GreenFuel Technologies in Cambridge MA, has returned to Israel to help turn Israeli ingenuity into action. Now a senior fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, Berzin has plans to build a new Institute for Alternative Energy Policy in Israel under the IDC.

Berzin looks to collect the best-fit alternative energy solutions from across academia and the industry in Israel - about 10 different technology platforms - to build a center of excellence, “10 times bigger and stronger than GreenFuel,” Berzin tells ISRAEL21c

Recently voted as a Time Magazine most influential person for 2008, if anyone could build a biofuel powerhouse in Israel it would be Berzin, who has a kind of rock star popularity in the US for his work with GreenFuel. Continuing on as an advisor in the company, he says, “GreenFuel is doing great, the baby is walking now.”

The father of three, who now lives in Jerusalem, sees the importance of creating a real solution to end the world’s dependence on oil within the next few years. If it’s not found, in 10 years he says, the planet will have “reached the point of no return.”

Taking advantage of Israeli technology and research, Berzin is planning to have a serious biofuel solution ready within five years. While there is no one silver bullet solution, he admits, Israel has all the tools to start making a renewable fuel alternative.

Israel’s toolbox includes decades-long research into water technologies and grey-water irrigation, and the know-how for taking advantage of low-quality land and growing crops on brackish water. “Algae can grow in salt water, with sewage and on any type of land quality,” says Berzin. “The world is moving to a ‘grow your own solution’ for energy crops, and there is no reason why Israel shouldn’t be a leading country in this field,” he says.

The new institute he is currently setting up, will develop sustainable and strategic global alternative energy policies and will collaborate with the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) based in Washington, where Berzin is also a senior fellow.

A representative from the IAGS wrote ISRAEL21c, “[We] congratulate senior fellow Dr. Isaac Berzin for his inclusion in TIME Magazine’s 2008 list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Berzin received this honor for his important scientific contribution to the development of alternative fuels and for his leadership role in the global movement to end the world’s oil dependence.”

Earlier this month, Berzin signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Energy Technology Laboratory of the US Department of Energy as an “honest broker” for helping his new institute choose what technologies and research to implement. The institute, after all, is expected to be a moneymaking endeavor as well.

According to Berzin, investing in the clean fuel solutions of oil-rich algae is a “zero-risk exercise. The solution is attractive, because I am not punishing the industry. The world is moving to producing its own energy crops. Algae for biofuel is (finally) an economically viable solution. It is also a moral solution - not competing with food crops on valuable resources such as fertile land and potable water.”

Climate change in Financial Times of london: IEA proposes much higher carbon offsets.

By Jonathan Soble in Tokyo and Ed Crooks in London
Published: June 6 2008 10:03 | Last updated: June 6 2008 19:51

The cost of carbon dioxide emissions would need to be at least $200 per tonne – many times today’s levels – to deliver the cuts proposed by scientists to avert the threat of global warming, the International Energy Agency said on Friday.

The price of emissions in the European Union’s trading scheme is just $43 per tonne. Much higher levels would mean a much greater effect on businesses and individuals.

Nobuo Tanaka, IEA executive director, said the world needed a “technology revolution” to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which would “completely transform the way we produce and use energy”. “If we really go to the 50 per cent reduction, costs are going to be very steep,” he said.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an advisory body to world leaders, concluded last year that global carbon dioxide emissions would need to fall by 50 to 85 per cent by 2050 to prevent average global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees centigrade.

Among the Group of Eight leading economies, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Canada, but not the US or Russia, have endorsed the goal of cutting emissions by half.

The IEA report, commissioned by G8 leaders at the Gleneagles summit in 2005, put the cost at $45,000bn during the next 40 years, or 1.1 per cent of global economic output over the period.

{up to here we liked what they said - but the following is pure classic IEA - no switching yet to WWorld’s realities}
[The agency said the world needed to build 32 nuclear plants and 17,500 wind turbines every year, and outfit 35 coal-fired power stations annually with carbon capture and storage equipment; rates of investment that are far ahead of today’s levels.

It also said reducing carbon emissions by half would require commercialising technologies now deemed too experimental or expensive, saying: “Nearly 1bn electric and fuel cell vehicles need to be on the roads by 2050.”]
{Now part real news and part freightening rumble}

To make those vehicles commercially viable, it said, carbon dioxide emissions would need to be priced at $200 per tonne, providing there was good technological progress. Without that progress, the price would need to be $500 per tonne.
However John Lewellyn, economic policy adviser at Lehman Brothers, said it was possible that the technology could advance to bring costs down even further.

“The challenge is clearly daunting, but if you believe in market mechanisms, and the creativity of entrepreneurs, then as long as you have a continuation of policy on climate change, the technology response will come.”

Sixty per cent of the investment would need to be made in developing countries, the agency said. Disagreements over who should pay for such investments have been a major stumbling block to convincing China, India and other fast-growing but poor countries to sign on to emissions-cutting schemes.

Ed Crooks, energy editor, on the IEA’s report on CO2

The rich countries’ energy watchdog warned that the cost of emissions, set by trading schemes or carbon taxes, would need to be that high to make investment in technologies such as hydrogen-fuelled vehicles commercially viable.

On behalf of the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee of the European Parliament (ENVI), we have the pleasure of inviting you to the roundtable

“Sustainable Biofuel Production in Tropical and Subtropical Countries”,

taking place on 12 June 2008 from 9:30 - 12:30

in the European Parliament, Brussels, 60 Rue Wiertz, room PHS 1 A 002.

The roundtable is hosted by MEP Anders Wijkman, Rapporteur for the Renewable Energy Directive in ENVI.

The background for this roundtable is to discuss the opportunities and challenges for a sustainable biofuel production from certain developing countries.

Given that there are very good climatic preconditions for biofuel production in some tropical and subtropical countries, biomass production can be very efficient compared to production in Europe.  Moreover, increasing production may offer exporting opportunities for developing countries and help meeting some of their internal energy demands.
However, the willingness to invest may be constrained by issues of political stability or uncertainties regarding the demands for imports. Most importantly, questions of how to use the potential for production in a sustainable way need to be addressed.

Questions to be raised include:
- What policies and incentives are needed is needed to promote and ensure a sustainable biofuel production?
- What are relevant criteria for a sustainable production of biofuels?
- How can a feasible implementation and reporting on these criteria be ensured and what are the consequences of these criteria for the practical work?

The roundtable is free of charge and open to the public. For further details and the required registration form, please visit the event website:
 http://www.ecologic-events.de/sustainabl…

Please register by 9 June 2008, 10:00 AM (MORNING). Registration is mandatory.

We encourage you to circulate this invitation to others interested in these issues.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event!

Kind regards,
Stephanie Schlegel

Israel’s Leviathan takes on clean tech. The Idea Is To Create a General Electric of Renewable Energy Companies,
By Karin Kloosterman for www.israel21c.org
May 27, 2008

www.israel21c.org/bin/en.jsp?enDispWho=Articles%5El2120&enPage=BlankPage&enDisplay=view&enDispWhat=object&enVersion=0&enZone=Technology&

In Hebrew the word leviathan roughly translates to a “whale” - and describes the great sea creature that carried the prophet Jonas in its gut for three days before coughing him up on dry land near Nineveh. In English, a leviathan means a great force.

A religious man who studies the Torah, Dr. Daniel Farb the CEO and founder of Israel’s newest cleantech startup Leviathan Energy, combined the meanings from both languages: “We chose this name as a reminder of the enormous energy present in nature,” he said.

God appears to be on his side. Farb, the multitalented inventor of the entire portfolio of Leviathan’s technologies, is attempting to harness clean energy through a variety of technologies suited to collecting hydroelectric energy, wind energy (big and small), and ocean energy.

He recently signed a letter of intent worth about $50 million to help generate wind and wave power in India. And is about to sign a deal with a small US-based cleantech company to install Leviathan turbines inside pipes to help generate hydroelectric power.

The interest in his company makes it almost impossible for Farb to keep up with the volume of daily inquiries - proving that the world is ready to take alternative and renewable forms of energy very seriously. With rising oil costs and the threat of Peak Oil, not to mention global warming, Leviathan’s ideas are warmly welcomed in the clean technology business.

A practicing ophthalmologist before moving to Israel from LA three years ago, Farb has a number of awe-inspiring clean tech inventions up his sleeve, some with names, some still without. While it would make sense that each invention be based on a similar core technology, with Farb’s logic, this is not the case.

The training he had in ophthalmology gave him the adequate background in physics, and a special mind lets him see things differently. Looking into the possibilities of renewable energy, “I am taking a fresh look at the physics for different energy sources and finding ways I could make a change in cost-effectiveness,” he tells ISRAEL21c.

In tidal energy for example, most of the devices that collect energy work as buoys, collecting energy as they bounce up and down. “I thought through better the physics,” he says, “and how you get energy out of the facts of how waves work and the formulas that apply to them.”

His new wave device, nameless up to now, captures energy from both the vertical and rotational dimension of a wave at the same time. Rotational energy capture is the trick.

The team of about 10 people in his company, plus subcontractors, is obviously kept busy. They have built a pilot plant in Israel at the Rotem Industrial Park in Dimona, where they are demonstrating the fluid dynamics of wind farms.

One product — the low-cost Benkatina Turbine, a hydroelectric turbine — is about to go commercial any month now in the northeast United States. “We are the first in-pipe turbine,” he says. “We are currently working on contracts for use in fresh and dirty water systems.”

Farb is hoping to generate interest in his wave turbines, which are about to be tested at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology; while the physics of fluid dynamics is being developed with the help of Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Moshe Rosenfeld. The rest of the research expertise has come from Farb, who has funded the company until now with personal finances and the help of grants.
Soon Farb will be looking for outside funding. But that just seems like a matter of course. Farb, the CEO of an e-learning company who has a degree from UCLA in executive management, has all the confidence in the world that Leviathan will succeed.

“I see it as the General Electric of renewable energy companies,” he says of his company: “I want a number of divisions where we are number one. These are market-changing inventions - more cost-effective and accessible than ever before.”
