Coordinated by the Organisation of American States (OAS), stakeholders from the Geo-Caraibes partner countries, including St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and Dominica will meet in Roseau from March 15 to 17. According to the Director of the OAS Office in St Kitts and Nevis, Mr. Starret Greene, the project is designed to prepare the market conditions to enable the commercial development of geothermal power in each of the partner countries. �In the case of St Kitts and Nevis, substantial progress had been made in advancing the project. The progress is evidenced during the recently completed pre-feasibility phase, and surface studies (that) showed that the best location in St Kitts and Nevis for geothermal resources appeared to be in the area of Bath Estate, on Nevis,� said Mr. Greene. The OAS Director also spoke of progress in geothermal resource development policies, and revealed that draft legislation had been prepared in consultation with the Government of the Federation. �The ultimate goal of this project is to help each of the partner countries to achieve commercial development of geothermal power as an alternative source of energy,� Mr. Greene remarked. �Given the high price of energy and the concerns about geopolitical instability, the OAS views the project as invaluable to the diversification of energy sources, not only in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis but also in the other two countries as well,� the Director concluded. Geo-Caraibes was launched in 2003, and is implemented through a partnership that includes the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Agence Francaise de Development (AFD) and the Organisation of American States (OAS), on behalf of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,18581195%255E913,00.html Explorer to float energy prospects By ANTHONY KEANE 24mar06 AN ALTERNATIVE energy company with gas and geothermal projects in South Australia wants to raise $10 million and list on the stock exchange in May. Eden Energy, a subsidiary of Perth's Tasman Resources, is separating from its parent and expects to open its initial public offer on April 8. Eden has hydrogen technology businesses, coal-bed methane and gas projects in Britain and gas and geothermal energy exploration projects in SA. Chairman Greg Solomon said Tasman Resources shareholders would receive priority in the float and, after listing, Tasman would hold 25.3 per cent of Eden's shares. "The purpose of the fundraising is to move all of the projects forward," he said. "They are potentially very large projects." Eden's SA gas project is 60km north of the Olympic Dam mine. It also has eight prospective geothermal licences in SA. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ingin bergabung ke milis ekonomi-nasional? Kirim email ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
