There are just a= few remaining places on the delegate register for the Eyeforenergy Green C= onvention in Brussels next week, so if you are intending to go and haven't = yet registered - please do so today! In 'Going Green: The Bottom Line', t= he first of our two articles on green energy, Abyd Karmali, VP of ICF Consu= lting, points to the increasing importance of emissions trading as a key en= vironmental issue. We also examine the relative market share currently enj= oyed (or lamented?) by the main renewable energy initiatives: wind, solar, = biomass and fuel cells. Speakers are lining up rapidly for our three co-l= ocated events in Amsterdam, 19-21 February 2002: Energy Trading Online, Wea= ther Trading and Emissions Trading. Recently confirmed include Enron, LIFF= E, TXU and NatSource. The programmes for all three are likely to be filled= over the next couple of weeks, so if you are interested in speaking please= contact Allison Robertshaw (arobertshaw@eyeforenergy.com ) for Energy and = Weather Trading and Meabh Quoirin (mquoirin@eyeforenergy.com ) for Emission= s Trading as soon as possible.
