Jon M. Queen Probes into the Possibilities of Investment Attraction in the Cleantech Projects in Ukraine

Environmentalist entrepreneur Jon M. Queen knows just how to encourage industrialists to minimize their carbon footprints and manage to eke out a gain in emissions trading simultaneously.

Since a new market arose as per the Kyoto Protocol commitment, the business realm has reacted proactively to climate change. Mr. Queen himself has been involved in analyzing Kyoto Protocol and alternative energy endeavors with the non-profit Foundation for the Development of Environment and Energy Markets.

It is along the same line that the green economist is now spanning the space of clean technologies, or products or services that appeal to the amplified interest of consumers, authority, and industry in clean forms of power generation.

Just recently, Jon M. Queen spoke in the 1st International Forum of Clean Technologies in Ukraine touted as “ECOSMART 2011” held in Kyiv International Exhibition Center, Ukraine. The mass event sought to assuage the gas emission levels of such activity. How is this done—by evaluating the forum’s carbon footprints and compensate the results with a tree-planting project.

The assessment of such thickly populated assemblies, conferences, conventions, or forums reveals significant amount of devastating atmospheric gases. The compounded emissions alone of the operations of the Conference of the Parties and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen reached up to 6,000 tons of CO2—a volume that is enough to fuel 1,000 cars in a year. Cleantech proponents believe that energy efficient products and services can upend these results.
