The Sustainable Energy Incubator Programme, run by Sustainable Energy Irealand (SEI), aims to provide early stage support for companies developing new clean energy technologies, so as to foster business development and bridge financial gaps faced by new sustainable energy ventures. SEI is considering funding up to ten high potential new and existing ventures through their incubation process over 2008. The programme is open to business ventures based in 21 existing Irish Incubation Units. Priority areas identified for 2008 are: Bioenergy; Ocean energy; Wind energy; Microgeneration; Energy efficiency and demand reduction; Fuel cells and hydrogen. The programme provides grants primarily for payment of annual incubation fees, with the possibility of grant provision for supplementary business support (management development and business networking). The programme provides up to two years grant support for annual incubation fees amounting to 100% in year one (up to a maximum of EUR 10,000) and declining to 50% in year two (up to a maximum of EUR 5,000). For business support, funding support is available up to a maximum qualifying expenditure that amounts to 70% of eligible cost. For management development this goes up to a maximum of EUR 8,000 in year 1 and EUR 4,000 in year 2. For business networking activities, this can be a maximum of EUR 2,000 in year 1 and EUR 1,000 in year 2. Total grant funding for both incubation and business support cannot exceed EUR 22000 per year.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
