Masterclass One, Mon, 15 Sept
|
| Registration: An introduction to investing in
co-generation projects – investment
portfolio management |
Objectives
Finance and investment is an integral component of almost all projects including co-generation. Co-generation is a costly project to initiate but has great returns attached down the line. Camco has over time become a unique investor because of their understanding and utilisation of the CDM and carbon footprint to maximise profit.
Co-generation investment has become a more beneficial power nproject to set up as it reaps the rewards that the carbon credits and the Kyoto Protocol have to offer.
This masterclass will provide you with a clear framework on how to finance a co-generation project and how to maximise on all the financial tools available from producing co-generation energy.

Masterclass Two, Thurs, 18 Sept
|
| Registration: Environmental implications of
co-generation projects |
Objectives
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has managed to change the scope of the environmental implications of co-generation from being just social to financial. Although the Kyoto Protocol and carbon credits were just implemented to reward clean energy users and penalise polluters, it has affected the profitability of a co-generation project that this issue is rapidly falling into the financial portfolio as it has the ability to decide the fate of the entire project.
Agenda
-
Utilising environmental tools to maximise profitability
-
Having your co-generation project acknowledged by the Kyoto
Protocol
-
Implementing a user-friendly and profitable carbon footprint
-
Effective project management that corresponds with environmental
implication factor
-
Co-generation efficiency strategies
-
Environmental advantages and best practices
-
Future environmental and climatic implications of using co-generation
-
Tying in environmental advantages with economic benefits –
utilising the Kyoto Protocol
