A major India-based finance house is reportedly planning to double its investment into renewable energy projects over the next year. 
Constant electrical power is absolutely critical to commercial and industrial buildings and now the managers of these facilities are investigating how to make these operations more energy intelligent and efficient, according to sector specialist Memoori. 
The deployment of biofuels across Europe for the transport sector could cost users £2bn extra at the pump, according to new research.
