AEA Technology PLC : ERG supports High-Level Strategy to Restore Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems

ERG, part of the AEA group, supported the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other members of a high-level Task Force in the development of an important restoration strategy for the Gulf of Mexico.

Using an ERG-produced video presentation, Task Force Chair and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson presented the strategy at the 2011 State of the Gulf of Mexico Summit in Houston Texas. The Task Force delivered the final strategy on Friday 2 December 2011 to President Barack Obama.

The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force was created by President Obama through an Executive Order on October 5, 2010. It is made up of representatives from the five Gulf States and 11 federal agencies. ERG provided extensive support to the Task Force in developing the strategy document, incorporating public comments and producing the final printed strategy and accompanying video.

The strategy represents an unprecedented collaboration to prepare the Gulf region to address the decades-long challenges to the Gulf's ecosystems.

'AEA Technology: Peel Hunt keeps hold, target doubled from 1p to 2p.'

:-)))))))))))))))))

might be interesting here today - we'll see

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has published a new report that assesses the performance of Climate Change Agreement (CCA) participants in 2010. Written by AEA, the report shows that energy-intensive businesses continue to reduce energy related CO2 emissions in response to CCAs.

Fifty-four separate sectors have CCAs, including a range of processes from certain agricultural activities through to complex and very energy intensive industrial activities such as the manufacture of primary steel. CCAs provide agreement holders with a 65% reduction on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) on qualifying energy use in exchange for meeting challenging energy efficiency targets.

The results, produced by AEA, DECC's technical advisers on CCAs since the scheme started in 2001, show that energy-intensive businesses, in aggregate, reduced their energy related CO2 emissions by 28.5 million tonnes last year, measured relative to base year. This reduction is the result of improvements in energy efficiency and falls in the level of activity in the steel sector.

When falls in the level of activity in the steel sector are taken into account, a challenging CO2 reduction target of 25.8 million tonnes was set for the participating 54 sectors for 2010, relative to base year. In aggregate, the participating sectors exceeded their targets by 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 (rounded).

This is the fifth biennial report compiled by AEA on the current CCA scheme.

Other key findings from the 2010 analysis include:

•After all trading activities within the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) were taken into account, 38 of the 54 sectors met their targets.

•All but one of the facilities reporting performance in the remaining 16 sectors had their CCAs renewed because they met their individual facility targets.

•9,634 individual facilities qualified for having their CCAs renewed until 31st March 2013.

•Generally there was continued improvement across the sectors.

Commenting on performance, report author Richard Hodges said: "Overall, sectors with CCAs continue to improve the efficiency with which they use energy. However, in some sectors, in recent years, we have seen a slowing in the rate of improvement. As AEA continues to work with DECC on the implementation of the scheme post 2013, we will seek to make sure that CCAs work efficiently with other climate change instruments and continue to drive improvements in energy efficiency, in particular by incentivising projects with longer paybacks."

roll on the contract wins!! :-))

Do you hold these?
I bought at 2p, but never added! What do you think?

yes i do - but not at 2p - that is my target! i added more here today - in your situation i would just sit tight and wait - you must have been unlucky to end up with an average of 2p or held from long ago

i do not think 1p will be more than 2/3 months away - maybe much less - the contracts at aea are usually complex and often have to go through regulatory due dilligence first as an example their customers in europe will often be tied to eu directives such as ojeu & ojec which slows the tenders - average tender for aea is 9 months - however the good news is that they have at least $1.2 Billion pipeline tenders of varying values dating back from october 2011 - so they are already at least 4 months into the process and a reasonable amount of this is several months (at least 2/3 months +) started prior to october 2011 - so if you get my drift there will be a regular flow of news coming each time adding value to the company - the new US acquisition is flying - i believe currently exceeding targets so the 1p should not be far away and 2p + maybe this year - we will see

currently aea is under a lot of peoples radar as many dont know which is why i am adding on weakness

stick with it - the main hurdle ref banking covenants has been passed and agreed with lloyds backing aea - and trust me after the due dilligence they require they do not lend lightly - i expect aea to be a very good perfomer this year and multi bag off these levels

gl

you may want to seriously average down while you can too and make your exit a bit more easier to achieve

not a bad day here - bit of blue each day before next news suit me :-))

I started o add- will jump in if the volume rise a bit

good stuff ahoj - i am seriously confident of aat coming good off these levels

well this contract win according to aea www was dated yesterday but no rns release? i will contact the company and find out why - still good news though:

Subject: AEA Contract Wins - London Stock Exchange RNS required but not released yet?


Good morning Neville,

Can you help urgently please - it appears share price sensitive information is being released through the AEA website but no news released to the London Stock Exchange via an RNS - can this be urgently reviewed and explained?

My belief is these contract wins will affect share price especially for example the latest which is a Government agency contract (http://naei.defra.gov.uk/) via the OJEU process.

This is urgent please and a response this morning would be appreciated. Details of latest win from yesterday pasted below and I believe there is another win of around £8M some days ago?

Kind regards,

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

AEA wins contract to deliver National Emissions Inventory for UK Government


Defra and DECC have awarded AEA a three year, £4.5 million contract to deliver the UK’s National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI).



Under the contract AEA will lead a team of UK experts in the production of detailed estimates of UK air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. The inventory will include emissions arising from a wide range of polluting sources such as motor vehicles, power stations, industrial and commercial facilities, as well as agriculture.



The NAEI comprises two major inventories – the UK’s Air Quality Pollutant Inventory and the UK’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory. Together these inventories form the key scientific evidence base that allows the UK to check compliance against its legal obligations, while also providing insights into ways to reduce the impact of human activities on our environment and health.



“AEA has acted as the UK’s National Inventory Agency for over 20 years,” explained AEA’s Air and Environmental Quality Practice Director Geoff Dollard. “We are delighted to continue to lead this work on behalf of UK plc. The NAEI provides the underpinning data set against which progress is measured on a number of key environmental policies.



“For example, having a reliable evidence base for greenhouse gas emissions will be critical to help demonstrate the UK’s progress against climate change targets” he said.



“AEA’s continued leadership will ensure that the NAEI continues as one of the world’s foremost emissions inventories, ensuring high quality content and delivery across a period of time, as key compliance years approach, when the inventories will come under intense scrutiny.”



In the delivery of this contract, AEA complements its own world leading expertise with a team of partners including Aether, AMEC, SKM Enviros and CEH.
