“Carbon Reduction Commitment, how will it affect you?" by David Flanagan, Carbon Market Analyst for NewsBase and "Visible Energy" by Tanya Ewing, Inventor and Managing Director or Ewgeco

Newsbase:
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (formerly known as the Carbon Reduction Commitment) is the UK's mandatory climate change and energy saving scheme, due to start in April 2010.

It is central to the UK’s strategy for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as set out in the Climate Change Act 2008. It has been designed to raise awareness in large organisations, especially at senior level, and encourage changes in behaviour and infrastructure.

Newsbase provides news reports, by email, to over 12 million subscribers in more than 35 countries. Regional departments gather and file high-value sectoral and regional news daily, with cutting-edge analysis and commentary from senior contributors alongside local news feeds. Analysts include local and national journalists, industry specialists, academics and economists.

David Flanagan, a Carbon Markets Analyst, is one such expert and is pleased to share with Thrive his thoughts on the effects of commitment to carbon reduction. (www.newsbase.com)
