–Carbon Curtain– Replaces –Iron Curtain– in Europe–s New Power Projects, an Industrial Info News Alert

SUGAR LAND, TX — (Marketwire) — 05/30/12 — Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) — New-build fossil-fuel is alive and well in Europe, though natural gas and coal are taking very different paths. “There is a –carbon curtain– separating European Union nations like the United Kingdom and Germany from non-EU nations like Turkey, the Ukraine and Russia,” observed Nicola Lynch, the president of Industrial Info Europe (Galway, Ireland). “In Europe–s new-build power market, there is a distinct difference between the types of power projects being championed in different parts of the continent. The EU is trying to move away from high-emitting coal-fired plants and is promoting a vast amount of renewable energy supported by gas-fired projects and nuclear power. Non-EU countries — and some EU nations like Poland — are still building a lot of coal-fired plants.”
