The IMO (International Maritime Organisation) has agreed that there should be controls over the dismantling of ships and how the contaminants should be dealt with in a safe manner to protect the environment and workers.
The new "Green Passport" for ships will facilitate this by logging all of the hazardous materials utilised on ships. Examples are asbestos (lagging ad gaskets), CFCs (used in refridgeration etc), TBCs (dioxins) and ODC (ozone depleting compounds). A "single list" of these hazardous materials will accompany the vessel until it is recycled by a licenced ship recycling yard.
Lucion is one of the only companies that has already carried out complete Inventory of Hazardous Material surveys and delivered a complete reports to their client on vessels due to be recycled.

Free Breakfast Seminar
The HSE has launched a new guidance document for asbestos dutyholders and surveyors. The changes will have a significant impact on people who have to manage buildings with asbestos containing materials in them.

UK Government pays you to go green
Feed in Tariffs – What are they? A new policy that pays you to install microgeneration tecnologies on your building.Feed -in tariffs (FIT’s) are a policy that becomes active as of April 2010, that, together with the Renewanble Heat Incentive (RHI) to be introduced in April 2011, will incentivise you to install a micro-generation technology on your property. Both schemes aim to broaden the energy supply mix and boost the low carbon revolution.
The UK currently gets 5.5% of its electricty from renewable sources. The aim is to increase this to 15% by 2020.“The feed-in tariff will change the way business and households think about their future energy needs, making the payback for investment far shorter than in the past”, said Ed Milliband, Seceretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. This “clean energy cashback” will allow many people to invest in small scale low carbon electricity, in return for a guaranteed payment both for the electricity they generate and export. Ref: http://www.decc.gov.uk
Even if you use the energy you produce to power your own applicances, you will be paid for it. You will also be paid for any electricity you supply yo the national grid.That all well and good – whats in it for me? Presuming you generate 2.5kw from a small wind turbine or photo-voltaic cells, you could be £1040 per year better off, according to the Department for Energy and Climate Change.
Who is elligible?
Individuals, households, community groups and small business.What sorts of technologies are included in the scheme:
• Wind;
• Solar photovoltaics (PV);
• Hydro; • Anaerobic digestion; and
• Domestic scale micro Combined Heat & Power unit (with a capacity of 2kW or less)*
Microgeneration schemes are expensive to install. Your installer should be able to advise you of any avalaible grants and loans to mitigate the up-front costs and enable you to save from the day your installation is comissioned. Further details of the scheme are avalibale at:www.decc.co.ukwww.carbontrust.co.ukwww.energysavingtrust.org.uk/
Lucion Energy are accredited to provide advice on the grants and incentives that are available to help you to make your property use less bought in energy reliant. This will reduce your costs and help to save the future!
