Clean Power Asia will also give Thailand the opportunity to showcase its green track record and showcase the many investment opportunities the renewable energy industry offers. “Thailand is committed to the low-carbon pathway”, says Dr. Twarath Sutabutr, Deputy Director-General, Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, in Thailand’s Ministry of Energy.

With regards to investment opportunities in Thailand, the country’s ministry of Energy says alternative energy resources provide a practical link between the country’s agricultural competitive advantages and its domestic energy needs. Dr. Sutabutr explains: “Thailand is committed to the Low-Carbon pathway, as stated in the new National Economic and Social Development Plan (11th plan), due to the fact that Thailand is a net-importer of fossil fuels. The only way to be independent from the importation is to go along the “Green and Clean Energy” corridor, including Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency and maybe Nuclear Energy.”

Thailand’s ministry of Energy and the local utilities, EGAT and PEA ENCOM, are officially supporting Clean Power Asia, during which some 300 delegates will hear from power experts from more than 14 countries in the region who will report back on renewable and cleaner fossil power projects including from Thailand, Singapore, Korea, China, the Philippines, India, Australia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Iran.

Thailand’s current steps towards the Clean Energy pathway
The two site visits on the programme of Clean Power Asia will offer delegates the rare opportunity to explore two of the most prominent solar power projects in Thailand, namely the Ned Project, which is the world’s largest silicon thin-film solar farm, and the BCP solar power project.

Renewable investment opportunities in Thailand include:

Ethanol: The Energy Ministry has already short listed 15 local biomass power plants for foreign company investment, under the United Nations’ Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol.

Solar Cells: Thailand continues to make significant strides in solar generated electric capacity. Currently, much of Thailand’s solar-panels are made for export, but solar energy development now also offers great potential for filling a domestic energy demand, particularly in remote rural and mountainous regions.

Wind Power: The Thai government offers subsidies for electricity produced by wind power. In a recent example of this technology’s potential, a tapioca flour processing plant, eliminated the 8,000 liters/day of fuel oil formerly used in the production process, and cut 40% in production costs.

Biodiesel: The government has a target of 4.25 million litres/day of biodiesel, for a 7% consumption substitute of diesel by the year 2011. Palm oil, one of the most readily available inputs for biodiesel production can be found in abundant quantities in Thailand.

More highlights from the Clean Power Asia programme include:
Renewable power:
• China WindPower plans to build and operate up to 800 MW of new wind farms by 2012
• Keys to success from Southeast Asia’s largest solar power plant project in Thailand
• Optimizing Hydropower generation in peninsular Malaysia – TNB’s Green Energy Initiatives
• Update on the Wayang Windu Project in Indonesia

Untapped renewable potential
“It is clear that Southeast Asia offers large potential for renewable energy sources, most still untapped”, says Elly Kreijkes, Clean Power Asia project director, “given the region’s rapid economic growth, increasing energy demand, growing environmental pressures, low rural electrification levels, and heavy reliance on fossil fuels and traditional biomass.”

She continues: “The ASEAN-6 countries are diverse in terms of their renewable potential when calculated on a per-capita or per-GDP basis. In absolute terms, Indonesia, for example, has the highest total realisable potential for renewables across all sectors; in per-capita terms, Malaysia has the largest renewable electricity potential; and Vietnam shows the highest potential for renewable electricity in terms of its level of economic development.”

According to Clean Power Asia’s Elly Kreijkes some countries have above average per-capita potential levels relative to their population share; “for example, Malaysia for renewable electricity and Singapore for renewable heat (especially solar thermal). Thailand and Malaysia have similar renewable electricity potential, but Thailand’s per-capita GDP level is half that of Malaysia. Nonetheless, Thailand has implemented much more ambitious targets and incentive mechanisms than Malaysia.”

Reality of the current utility energy mix
Elly Kreijkes notes that: “Although the current events in Japan have certainly brought home again the dangers of nuclear power generation, all governments have been facing the challenge of securing energy supply and optimizing the energy mix in a more environmentally friendly way in order to meet the targets set by the Kyoto Protocol. Given the fact that the majority of power production still comes from conventional and only a small, albeit growing, percentage comes from renewable, there is a real need to reduce CO2 emission on the conventional side.”

She explains that Clean Power Asia will provide a platform to exchange valuable feedback with regards to renewable and cleaner fossil power projects in the region, from technology to finance to implementation: “Thailand is very advanced in their renewable energy policy and initiatives so other countries will learn from this. The solar development in Thailand, bioenergy and hydro power developments in Malaysia, geothermal developments in Indonesia and cleaner fossil power projects in India and China will provide excellent opportunities for countries to learn from each other.

Clean Power Asia will present more than 20 case studies from countries such as Thailand, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Iran, including:

Renewable power:
- China WindPower plans to build and operate up to 800 MW of new wind farms by 2012

Defend My Name Introduces Correct The Record, And Allows Companies To Tell Their Side Of The Story In Search Engines

March 30, 2010: Defend My Name launches a new innovative rebuttal platform and program! When a negative link appears in search engines about your company now you can tell your side of the story without driving up the ranking of the negative review post about you.

Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL Defend My Name a leading Internet reputation management company has created a new program to combat negative posts on review sites, blogs and other Internet webpages

This is a timely and amazing break through for companies and Individuals who now have the ability to post a rebuttal to a negative review or post without having to drive up the ranking of the negative review says Robert Russo / President of Defend My Name LLC.

By Creating a CORRECT THE RECORD™ profile, you can tell your side of the story and describe how you handled customer service complaints. Also, our service enables you to share your corporate overview. It allows you to provide links to testimonials; evidence in support your rebuttal and FAQs to answer the most commonly asked questions. Importantly, you can direct users to your Website and thereby drive sales.

According to Jupiter Research more than 90 percent of Internet users use search engines to do research or conduct due diligence prior to making personal or corporate buying decisions. With more than 55 million blogs on the Internet and billions of searches conducted every month on the search engines, your brand can become tainted in very short order over a virtual non-event as a result of the viral nature of the Internet.

The Internet is like the Wild West. Standards on socially acceptable behavior often get ignored. Negative comments about individuals and companies can appear with no consequences for inaccuracies or blatant lies. It only takes one inflammatory customer service complaint to destroy your image on the Internet, which can dissuade others from buying your products or services.

To combat this problem, we work tirelessly to show that our CORRECT THE RECORD™ clients care about customer satisfaction and are committed to ensuring optimal service. Our CORRECT THE RECORD™ clients have a way to show they care!

If Internet searches on your company name return negative comments prominently, searchers will be skeptical. You need a way to tell YOUR side of the story. Many so-called consumer advocacy sites use phrases such as SCAM, RIP OFF, and FRAUD in the subject lines and title tags of Web pages. This can create a negative perception about you and your company, deterring searchers from following the link to read your content and learn your account of what happened.

Disgruntled customers will be more inclined to post negative information about your company if they feel you did not show adequate concern for them or commitment to resolving their issue. Unhappy customers account for more lost business than happy customers for referrals. CORRECT THE RECORD™ makes it easy to resolve problems quickly before customers post online complaints.

Your customers DEMAND INSTANT SATISFACTION and keeping an open line of communication with them can help improve overall customer satisfaction and resolve customer service issues immediately before they become negative blog posts and/or chargeback events.

Resolving a service issue can create an UPSELL opportunity!
