The Carbon Show 2011 featured a breakfast seminar, hosted by ENDS Europe, on the topic of International Aviation in the EU ETS. This session covered legal and policy updates and discussed the implications and challenges of regulating aviation emissions, whilst providing an open forum for debate.
The Carbon Show 2011 has offset the 62 tonnes of CO2e produced by the show from the Sanchawan Run-of-River Hydro Project in China which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by generating electricity from a renewable energy source, displacing the use of fossil fuels.
We are delighted that by offsetting the emissions from the show we can help towards a renewable energy project that has such far reaching benefits.

Chris Huhne today delivered a speech at the Liberal Democrat conference, arguing that climate change policies could not be dropped as a measure of cutting costs. He stated that "cutting carbon is not a luxury to be ditched when the going gets tough" and claimed that in fact carbon reduction could lead to an increase in available jobs.
Mr Huhne stated that the green deal would lead to a new "green industrial revolution", creating 250,000 jobs by 2030.
