[01] Private initiative for natural gas transfer to Cyprus from own blocks
A project for the transfer of natural gas to Cyprus from its own reserves
in two and a half years time was presented Friday to the President
Nicos Anastasiades by a team of American-Jewish investors with a Cypriot
participation.
Reliable sources said that this is a private initiative, proposing the
transfer of natural gas to Cyprus from its own reserves discovered in
its Exclusive Economic Zone, within two and a half years.
The same sources noted that the investors expressed interest for block 3
in Cyprus' EEZ, for which Cyprus has already granted a research license
to Italy's ENI.
[02] UNDP-ACT installs solar panels in the buffer zone to reduce emissions
UNDP Action for Cooperation and Trust (ACT) announced the activation of
its new energy producing solar panels that help reduce carbon dioxide
emissions and minimize office costs.
A UNDP-ACT announcement says that in the wake of the tragic Mari
incident, which highlighted the precarious energy security situation
of the island, and as a response to a study by the Cyprus 2015 on the
sustainable development of the island, "UNDP-ACT decided to do its
part to support renewable energies, and successfully applied for a US$
30,000 grant to install a 15 KW photovoltaic park at its premises".
Christopher Louise, UNDP-ACT Programme Manager said that "we can do our
part to mitigate climate change by using more modern, energy-efficient
technologies such as solar power for electricity and water heating".
