To market your company is to sell your innovations to the world. To showcase a company’s capability and to gather as much exposure to build a name that resounds in the ear of anyone who hears it. A good name develops a good company. Expansion takes one small step at a time. It works the same with a renewable energy company as well. Renewable energy marketing has to be more aggressive than normal marketing strategies for many reasons. Here’s four to show you:

First, renewable energy marketing adds awareness to the people that they have more than one energy options. To switch from traditional energy producers to something that is independent, not to mention compact as a source of energy. Many consumers nowadays are open to explore other possibilities of cutting down costs of electricity without compromising various home activities.

The increasing demand to produce energy has given various renewable energy company opportunities to meet demands of the citizens and by providing continuous and uninterrupted flow of electricity on their homes even on a nationwide black out.

The second would be that renewable energy marketing gives the company a chance to be steward of good will. Marketing involves communication between consumer and company. What do the consumers want? How much are they willing to spend? How would it help the environment? These are essential questions that should be listened to as a company. The earth is growing weaker and weaker with each decade passing by.

The overflowing demands to harvest its natural resources exhaust the land to the point that it is useless for the next generation. As a steward of good will, the advocacy is to promote a sustainable future. Renewable energy marketing establishes the renewable energy company character to the people and having a name that would be distinguished among other.

Third, Renewable energy marketing guides prospective consumers to the right direction. Active marketing entice both target market and possible target market. Renewable energy company exposure builds trust and confidence both within and outside the company. Most people have no idea what renewable energy means or how it works.

To educate the masses better would entice prospective consumers to try out the latest innovation on renewable energy. It would be best if your renewable energy company would take the giant leap towards that awareness.

Fourth, marketing attracts investors! It is not impossible that along side marketing your company’s capability and attracting possible market lure out potential investors. Investing takes double the time of thinking and good fore sight to the side of the investor. With a resounding name to the ears, it would be much easier to attract investors and help the company expand to its maximum potential.

These are just four reasons on why renewable energy marketing is essential to a renewable energy company. Unlike traditional established energy companies, renewable energy is optional and therefore deemed as un-necessary by others. It is important to show the masses that renewable energy is the future of energy consumption.

Sustainable Growth In Low Carbon World

World is facing a resource cum growth crunch in 2009 and gloom seems to be spreading in 2010 also. Global leaders and leaders of the industries are  closely discussing the various strategies to meet  the phenomenal  challenges. A recovery strategy  based on  high carbon  energy resources is short sighted efforts which needs a re look.
 Seriously, there is a   need   of high growth and 21st century will be a low carbon economy. The scale of new green jobs  , technologies, practices, services and products required   to shift  to a  low carbon economy. As per an estimate  by United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) in 2008, the global green deal will set  the stage For  a low carbon economy and resource efficiency economy. Around 20 million green  jobs can be created in renewable sectors alone by the year 2030, twice that would be achieved with a fossil fuel based economy.
Analyst across the globe feel that building  a  low carbon Global economy   will   require  a significant , long term financial flows in to all the developing nations. There will be multiple aim of reducing global warming, increasing Green employment, reducing   poverty , allocating the resources properly which will ultimately lead to a higher sustainable growth.
                                     Practically, there must be   removal; of all the obstacles to free flow of low carbon money, clean technologies and state consent is  desirable. Governments across the global have onerous responsibilities to come out with green recovery packages. Tariff, subsidy and stimulus incentives are desirable drivers to growth It will accelerate the business processes to provide with green employment opportunities. Many business forums are working towards specific policy mechanisms that might provide   cost effective and   environmentally pragmatic climate framework.
              In fact businesses and governments of world have to Find a positive answers to a variety of key questions :

(a)    What  will be market mechanism to price carbon free products?

(b)   How can energy  efficiency measures can be globally scaled up?

(c)    How the business houses and Governments can create green jobs?

(d)   How low carbon products will be popularized, vetted and approved for use by  consumers across globe?

(e)    How to reduce energy consumption pattern in urban societies?

(f)     What are the various policy decisions to promote tax benefits to the industries?

(g)    How investment flow can be attracted towards Renewable for a  longer period?

(h)    How the issues of energy securities will be managed?

(i)      How the stimulus package or a green package will be designed?

(j)     How the specific projects and ideas will create jobs in the short run

And catalyze long term growth in low carbon economy?

These are long term challenges which if taken correctly in the first decade of  21st century will create a more balanced world in terms of better climate, sustainable economy reduced disparity , more jobs and better governance. Low carbon economy will give a win win  situation to the world.

Climate Change – Reduce Your Carbon Footprint


2 Government videos with information on how to reduce your carbon footprints

The Campaign on Climate Change

A campaign is a series of planned activities with a particular social, commercial or political aim.

Campaigning is done against nuclear weapons and war.

Similarly, advertisement, election, empowerment of women and many more activities are promoted by campaigns organized by concerned people.

Nowadays, climate change is one of the fears all living and non-living on earth face.

Crying for the climate change is a campaign active all over the world.

We are very much concerned about our future generation.

Therefore, campaigning on climate change has become popular and sometimes fashion around the world.

Realizing the importance of climate change, the Nobel Foundation awarded Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore, the ozone man, former Vice-President of the US and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

They were responsible to bring out the truth that disastrous climate change is caused by global warming for which human activities contribute a lot.

No one believed the statement, but later on the scientists of IPCC calculated the human activities which influence the changes in earth’s climate.

This calculation could make the countries to wake up and think.

A documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth” produced by Al Gore opened the eyes of many politicians, planners and people from all walks of life.

In fact, the film won Oscars award for best documentary and best song.

At any cost, the man-made climate change has to be counteracted.

The bad effects of climate change on the Globe over time have been known even before two or three decades.

The green house gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, halocarbons – are responsible for global warming.

The first and foremost effect is the rise in earth’s temperature.

The vulnerable people started dying during summer months in advanced countries like France and Germany.

Once everyone saw such tragic conditions around, they come forward to support the campaign on climate change.

Many organizations interested in the future of humanity cross the world began campaigning against global warming.

Rising temperature affects not only human beings but also animals and plants on Planet Earth.

Prolonged droughts and untimely rain caused crop loss and reduction in food production.

The burning of fossil fuels and large scale air-conditioning are on the increase everywhere in the world.

The commercial interest and political interference do not come forward to support the campaign against global warming.

Those people are not bothered about the far reaching results which are going to be the greatest threat to our future generation who are none other than our own children, grand-children and grand-grand children.

The campaigners caution the policy makers and politicians well in advance to take appropriate measures to reduce or arrest global warming.

In this case, the public at individual level has to cooperate and indulge in action.

The ‘Ten Things To Do” for developed nations was proposed by AL Gore as “Green Agenda”.

They are:

1. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights.

2. Dive less.

3. Recycle more.

4. Check vehicle tire pressure for better mileage.

5. Use less hot water.

6. Avoid products with excessive packaging.

7. Plant a tree.

8. Turn off electrical equipment not in use.

9. Adjust your thermostat.

10. Spread the word.

The options laid out are not new to developing nations like India, because most of the organizations including the Government interested in development was campaigning these ten things for quite some time knowingly or unknowingly.

Adoption of most energy efficient technologies should be followed by everyone whether he / she lives in cities or villages.

Carbon sequestration in the soil is one of the measures by which the productivity of dry land can be increased and reduce the carbon emission according to the Director-General of ICRISAT, Hyderabad.

Incorporation of carbon and availability of organic carbon in soil help increasing the crop productivity.

Dry lands occupy 80 per cent of agricultural land and produce 58 per cent of the world’s staple foods.

Such a vast area should help in sequestration of carbon, provided we incorporate green manure regularly into the soil.

It is not a new concept again, an old one taught to me when I was a student of agriculture during 1960s.

Even today the organic farming campaigners recommend this concept to improve the soil fertility and at the same time sequestering carbon.

In this connection, one has to think of the oxidation of organic carbon in the tropical into carbon dioxide.

We are silent on this aspect.

However, I feel someone has to look into this crucial problem.

Probably, ICRISAT, a world body may think of the sequestration of carbon in tropical soils and its fate in the long run.

Forests are one of the largest ‘sink’ for carbon dioxide.

Deforestation caused by human activities and large scale wild fire brings down the ‘sink size’ and allow the earth to emit more carbon dioxide.

Coal based power plants emit enormous quantity of carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the suggestion is to opt for nuclear and solar power.

Renewable energies such as wind, solar and biofuel were highlighted as important sources to reduce the global warming to 2.0 – 2.4oC, generally recognized as the threshold level.

Report after report stresses the need for controlling the climate change through a number of campaigns all over the world – developed, developing and under develop.

Creating awareness among the people of the world is the ultimate aim of most of the organizations interested in global climate change.

Discouraging deforestation, reforestation, using ethanol based bio-fuels, expansion of conservation tillage to reduce carbon release from farm fields are some of the possible measures put forth by various committees instituted for studying the climate change.

In order to follow these policies, there should certainly be a political will and peoples’ participation.

The probability of human activities causing global warming is now 90 per cent as compared to 66 per cent in 2001 according to Dr. R.K. Pachuri, the head of IPCC.

Therefore, it is obvious that the human activities over years have contributed more and more to climate change.

If the present conditions continue, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere will be 550 ppm by 2100 as compared to the present level of 280 ppm.

Curbing the carbon dioxide emissions are in the hands of the US, Australia, Europe, China and India.

The threshold of carbon dioxide concentration is 450 ppm for dangerous climate change.

Global warming also causes significant sea level rise which is unavoidable for many countries during 21st Century.

The fear of global warming is felt by only some people and campaign for climate change.

It is the question of survival in the long run.

If we take it easy now then it would be difficult to cope with the problem at later stage.

Therefore, let us follow the green agenda as much as possible to support the campaign on climate change.
