Leading Economists: A Strong Carbon Price Needed to Drive Large-Scale Climate Action
Meeting the world’s agreed climate goals in the most cost-effective way while fostering growth requires countries to set a strong carbon price, with the goal of reaching $40-$80 per tonne of CO2 by 2020 and $50-100 per tonne by 2030. That’s the key conclusion of the High-Level Commission on Carbon Prices, led by Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and Lord Nicholas Stern.
D’après des économistes du monde entier, une tarification élevée du carbone est nécessaire pour une action ambitieuse contre le changement climatique
Pour atteindre de manière efficace les objectifs climatiques de la communauté internationale tout en encourageant la croissance, il est impératif que les pays fixent un prix du carbone, avec l’objectif d’atteindre entre 40 et 80 dollars par tonne de CO2 en 2020, puis entre 50 et 100 dollars en 2030. Telle est la principale conclusion de la Commission de haut niveau sur les prix du carbone, co-présidée par le prix Nobel Joseph Stiglitz et par Lord Nicholas Stern.

MOVE Systems and ALLCOT sign agreement to develop first ever New York based carbon credit generation project
MOVE Systems and ALLCOT sign agreement to develop first ever New York based carbon credit generation project
09/02/2017. MOVE Systems International, LLC, a company which delivers safe and clean energy solutions to the mobile food industry, has begun a joint venture with ALLCOT Group to develop the first ever carbon credit generation project based in New York City.
The main objective is to replace traditional food carts powered by noisy, pollution spewing gasoline generators with MOVE’s new state of the art food carts powered by an eco-friendly combination of batteries, solar panels and CNG/propane. This switch will generate carbon credits and demonstrates specific actions being taken to fight climate change.
New York City has nearly 8,000 food carts and trucks operating on its streets resulting in an estimated 1.2 million mobile food transactions daily. Traditional food carts are usually equipped with both gas generators for power and portable propane tanks for cooking appliances. The presence of both fuel sources on board this confined space is a potentially dangerous scenario. The City has already experienced food truck and cart fires, including an incident in 2011 that caused a temporary shutdown of the West Side Highway. MOVE’s new food carts, called the MRV100, also include a restaurant-grade kitchen with refrigeration, sinks and water storage reservoirs. These features help address sanitation obstacles often encountered in mobile food vending.
According to Alexis L. Leroy, CEO of ALLCOT, the idea is to register the project within the first quarter of 2017 so when the new food carts are deployed generation will automatically start. “Allcot is delighted to be partnering with MOVE Systems on their sustainability journey. Developing business in US market is a clear strategic objective of ours, so this collaboration is very exciting for us to be involved with”, explains Leroy.
Kevin Kane, Project Manager, MOVE Systems, says: “We are excited to partner with Allcot on this project and add another dimension to our environmentally friendly solutions for modern urban spaces”.
