1. News from the CADDET (Centres for the Analysis and Dissemination of 
Demonstrated Energy Technologies) organisations 
=================================
CADDET Organisation (Energy Efficiency)
The following CADDET Energy Efficiency Technical Brochures have 
been published in the last month. These are available online in pdf format
from 

the CADDET Energy Efficiency Internet site 
(http://www.caddet-ee.org/newsdesk/npubs_al.htm#CADDETlm99.htmlct_parties/Pl). 
To receive a printed copy, please contact your National Team or place your 
order online via the 
CADDET Energy Efficiency Internet site.

R 325 : Heat pipe ice thermal storage HVAC system (JP)
R 326 : Hydrogen purification system reduces generator power losses (JP)
R 328 : Waste water treatment processes using high frequency oscillations 
(NO)

The CADDET Energy Efficiency Register has been updated. Since the last 
update in January, approximately 60 new projects have been added and 150 
obsolete projects removed from the database. The EE Register now contains 
1,620 projects. You can access the CADDET Energy Efficiency Register free 
of charge from our home page (http://www.caddet-ee.org/newsdesk/npubs_al.htm#CADDETlm99.htmlct_parties/Pl).

The latest issue of the CADDET Energy Efficiency Newsletter is now
available on 
the CADDET EE Internet site (http://www.caddet-ee.org/newsdesk/npubs_al.htm#CADDETlm99.htmlct_parties/Pl). The topic is 'Boilers 
and Burners'. Articles cover a variety of boiler and burner technologies, 
illustrating the state of progress in efficient energy use whilst minimising 
pollutant (mainly NOx) emissions. Other 'non-topical' articles include 
industrial symbiosis and efficient lighting systems in office buildings. All 
articles are downloadable in either pdf or html format.

An additional CADDET EE Newsletter, a 'Special Issue on Australia', is also
now 
available on the CADDET EE Internet site (http://www.caddet-ee.org/newsdesk/npubs_al.htm#CADDETlm99.htmlct_parties/Pl). This
issue 
focuses on energy efficiency in Australia. The articles feature a range of 
demonstration projects in the building and industry sectors, and outline the 
objectives of the Australian government's current energy policy.

Copies of both Newsletters are also available from your local National
Team, or 
from the CADDET EE Centre in Sittard, the Netherlands(e-mail:
caddet@caddet-ee.
org).

CADDET Organisation (Renewable Energy) 
The CADDET RE Events page has been recently updated with some new events
which 
will be held during the year. If you are organising a renewables event and 
would like it to be included on the CADDET RE Web Site, please e-mail the 
details to jemma.howland@aeat.co.uk Please note we cannot guarantee that
every 
event will be posted on the site.

2. GREENTIE (Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange)
================================

The GREENTIE/CTI stand will be displayed at the international exhibition 
'Wastech-1999: Industry of Recycling and Utilisation' in Moscow from 1-6
June. 
The Russian GLO will represent the GREENTIE Centre at the event. The theme of 
GREENTIE/CTI stand is 'GREENTIE Network for Waste Management'.

The GREENTIE Directory will be distributed at the exhibition by the Russian
GLO.
The Directory contains around 1,300 organisations involved in waste-related 
technologies. An article entitled 'GREENTIE and CADDET - Joint Forces for 
International Technology Transfer' by the GREENTIE and CADDET Centres will be 
published in Moscow in English and Russian. 

3.  Link of the month
================================
International Investment and Climate Change: Energy Technologies for
Developing 
Countries (By Tim Forsyth):
The author analyses how international private investors may transfer 
environmentally sound technologies to developing countries, and how the newly 
created Clean Development Mechanism can assist this process.
Technology transfer is one of the most important issues of international 
environmental agreements, but few know what it means in practice, or how 
private companies can help. This book provides a detailed analysis and
practical 
guidance.

An exciting new website specifically designed for the education sector has 
recently been developed. The site is called 'Planet Energy' and visitors are 
guided around its 'Energy Trail', to learn about new and renewable energy 
technologies. The website is fully illustrated with renewable energy images
and 
animations, as well as working examples of a variety of applications.
The site is divided into three sections: the teacher information zone; an 
information zone for 7-11 year olds and an information zone for 12-16 year
olds.
You can find Planet Energy at http://www.dti.gov.uk/renewable/ed_pack/al.htm#CADDETlm99.htmlct_parties/Pl

The UK releases a consultation document on renewables.
The British government will spend GBP 43 million over the next three years
for 
R&D in renewables under the New and Renewable Energy Support Programme.
Energy 
Minister John Battle has released a consultation paper showing that
renewables 
can be competitive in energy supply, and that 10% of the electricity demand 
could be generated from renewables by 2010. The Non Fossil Fuel Obligation
has 
provided GBP 600 million to support renewables, which could rise to 150
million 
a year. Comments on the consultation document are welcome before 28 May. A 
separate publication on the current and future status of renewable energy 
technologies in the UK has also been published. Further details can be
found at

4.  News and events
================================
Norwegian White Paper Pushes Renewables : Norway will increase spending on 
renewable energy beyond its hydro capacity. A White Paper says coal-fired 
electricity imports  from Denmark will be curtailed in favour of more 
renewables capacity, backed by an investment of EUR 600 million over 10 years 

and increased taxes on electricity and fossil fuels. Norway wants 3 TWh of
wind 
generation by 2010.

Industry and Innovation in the 21st Century :  ACEEE 1999 Summer Study on 
Energy Efficiency in Industry will be held on 15-18 June 1999 in Saratoga
