EBRD joins other financial institutions in restricting coal lending
December 10, 2013
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved today during a vote of its Board of Directors a new Energy Strategy. The document is meant to give guidance on how to strategically use the bank's resources over the next years to promote energy security and affordability and avoid dangerous climate change.
Fidanka Bacheva-McGrath, CEE Bankwatch Network:
"The EBRD has made a positive step forward in restricting investments in coal power plants and introducing a shadow carbon price for all fossil fuels, which can be a powerful tool for internalising their hidden costs.
"The strategy approved today makes it clear that everyone in the bank and in many of its shareholders' capitals is now tiptoeing around coal. This should serve as one more warning for the coal industry that it can no longer ignore our health and our climate.
"The bank's criteria can be used to exclude almost any greenfield project. But it will be only with real investment proposals, such as the upcoming Kosovo C, that we will see whether the EBRD is ready to not just tiptoe around coal but to walk boldly towards a coal-free future."
Visar Azemi, KOSID:
"We are heartened to see that the EBRD is moving in the right direction and has approved criteria which will exclude the financing of the unnecessary Kosovo C plant near Pristina. The bank must now make publicly clear to the Kosovar government that it cannot consider financing this project."
Tim Ratcliffe, 350.org:
"If the systemic risk that climate change poses is being taken seriously by the bank, it should immediately take steps to ensure its lending is entirely fossil free by canceling its involvement in misguided infrastructure projects such as the Euro-Caspian mega pipeline, and divert its efforts towards community interest renewable energy projects likely to benefit people rather than entrenched corporate interests.''

Nanotechnology-based molecular test equipment (MTE) for circuit board testPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):129 - 134
This paper describes original research efforts in the design, simulation, and development of nanotechnology-based molecular test equipment (MTE). This is a research effort for testing printed circuit boards independent of traditional automatic test equipment (ATE) through the fabrication of MTE within integrated circuits (ICs). The MTE is embedded within the IC substrate and encapsulated within na... View full abstract»
A vision of guided weapons ATS standardization-a synergistic, cooperative approachPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):68 - 78
Cited by: Papers (1)
Standardization of Automatic Test Systems (ATS) has demonstrated significant cost savings and performance benefits for all armed service branches across a variety of weapons system types. Noticeable by its absence is the application of standard ATS to guided munitions testing. This paper reviews the background of guided munitions ATS and examines a vision for its future. A future which most addres... View full abstract»
Modeling analog chips as if they are digitalPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):197 - 204
While generating Test Program Sets (TPS) for HYBRID electronic boards, test engineers can choose from: 1. Generating analog tests by ATLAS or a similar language for the analog part of the Unit Under Test (UUT) and generating digital tests by LASAR for the digital part of the UUT. 2. Generating a single test by ATLAS for both the analog and the digital parts of the UUT. This paper presents another ... View full abstract»

This paper describes the WesTest Engineering Corp. automatic test equipment (ATE) system, and the NAI, Inc VXI commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) synchro/resolver resource card, used in the Turkish Airforce F-16 Depot Maintenance Program. The WesTest ATE system incorporates an open architecture VXIbus-based design and provides a general-purpose test capability for analog, digital, and hybrid assembli... View full abstract»
JET Engine Test Strategy-program overview and objectivesPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):284 - 289
Cited by: Patents (1)
JET Engine Test Strategy (JETS) is an innovative program for improving existing Air Force jet engine test cells. This paper describes the key elements of the JETS and discusses the phased approach for its implementation and realization of the benefits. The proposed system components for implementation of JETS benefits are contained in the Automated Jet Engine Test System (AJETS), which includes th... View full abstract»
Visual testing software environment using object-oriented programmingPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):328 - 333
Object-oriented programming is an alternative to deal with the problems associated in the development, maintenance and update of large software for measurement applications. But many applications in the computer-automated testing system depend critically on the simplicity, flexibility and efficiency of the implementation. This paper is about the object-oriented approach to solve the problem of the... View full abstract»
Enhancement of system test and evaluation from birth to battlefield through technology integration with maintenance test and trainingPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):9 - 13
The premise of this paper is that there is a great need of integrating the activities associated with operational test and evaluation, maintenance testing, and training to enhance the effects of these activities and reduce the costs associated with them. It is expected that significant program activities improvements and cost savings could be made by leveraging technologies and program activities ... View full abstract»
Information-based standards and diagnostic component technologyPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):425 - 433
Cited by: Papers (4)
Software development methods have evolved over the years from structured design of procedural code, to object oriented design, to component-based design. Recent requirements by industry and government have resulted in the development of interface specifications and standards designed to facilitate acquisition of large systems based on the concepts of component technology. In this paper, we discuss... View full abstract»
Lowering the cost of legacy systems upgradesPublication Year: 2000, Page(s):239 - 242
Program managers are continually faced with the decision whether to maintain working legacy test systems or develop new test systems with greater capability. Maintaining older legacy systems allows the preservation of proven software with decreasing overall test capability as new systems and requirements arise. Developing new systems provides increased capability while suffering from the burden of... View full abstract»
A software approach for a common munitions test architecturePublication Year: 2000, Page(s):108 - 119
Cited by: Papers (1)
A common munitions test architecture is required to support the testing of sophisticated weapon systems from production in the factory through flight test. The architecture establishes basic building blocks that form the foundation for test systems across the component, intermediate, and munitions levels. It must be modular, adaptable, and configurable to meet the ever-increasing demands of today'... View full abstract»
