Kiran Stacey Green fund manager defends European carbon trading

February 4, 2011 9:55 am by Kiran Stacey

James Cameron, one of the key advocates for carbon trading, has leapt to the defence of the beleaguered European emissions trading scheme, insisting, “We have no option but to make this work.”

The scheme has come under heavy criticism after the discovery of €30m worth of theft, which led to the suspension of the emissions trading market – at least until today. But Cameron, answering Energy Source readers’ questions, said such breaches were inevitable.

November 24, 2010 2:00 pm by Kiran Stacey

There have already been some noises off between the UK government and the green energy industry over the green investment bank, the government’s proposed investment vehicle for funding clean energy projects. Apart from anything, many in the sector simply don’t think the £1bn promised by Chris Huhne, the energy secretary, is enough.

But another faultline opened up today at a briefing attended by both Sam Laidlaw, the chief executive of Centrica (pictured), and Huhne himself. Specifically, the pair seemed to be at odds over whether the green investment bank could be used to fund energy efficiency initiatives.
