| Uzbekistan Landfills to Reduce Methane Possibly Produce Power | The projects would involve the construction and installation of a flaring system at two closed landfill sites with an option of power generation, subject to economic factors. The landfill sites were closed in 2004 and are projected to continue to create and emit methane until 2024. | |
| Asia Solar Energy Initiative Launched With US$2.25B | The initiative was launched on May 3, 2010 in the Uzbekistan capital Tashkent and the ABD said that it will provide an additional US$2.25bn to support projects with a combined generating capacity of 3000MW of solar power by 2012. The bank indicated that the combination of growing electricity demand, abundant desert and commitments to offset carbon emissions, made Central Asia a strong candidate for investment. | |

| Biofuel Crop Investment Options Considered for Central Asia | Uzbekistan , Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan - What these three downstream countries do have however is a Soviet-era legacy of agricultural production, which in Uzbekistan’s and Turkmenistan case was largely directed towards cotton production, while Kazakhstan, beginning in the 1950s with Khrushchev’s “Virgin Lands” programs, has become a major producer of wheat. Based on my (John C. K. Daly) discussions with Central Asian government officials, given the thirsty demands of cotton monoculture, foreign proposals to diversify agrarian production towards biofuel would have great appeal in Astana, Ashgabat and Tashkent and to a lesser extent Astana for those hardy investors willing to bet on the future, especially as a plant indigenous to the region has already proven itself in trials. | |
| Report From Moscow Energy Trade Fair | Even though the effects of the global financial and economic crisis have affected the Russian construction industry significantly, interest in innovative building and energy technology was unabated at SHK MOSCOW 2009, 13th International Industrial and Technology Trade Fair for Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilation, Refrigeration, Building Automation, Sanitation and Renewable Energies.
