Sustainable Development
The sustainable development is "development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs”,- Brundtland Commission,
1987)
Resource Efficiency is key for sustainable development
“Industrial development and economic growth are tightly linked to
resource use and contribute to rising commodity prices, countries
have become more dependent on natural resource imports
resulting intensified global competition over limited resources and
may jeopardize growth and stability in the future.”

Sustainable ENWA Technologies (SENWA):Introduction
• Sustainable and environmental engineering,
• Energy and water management services.
• To support our clients in developing the optimal
energy efficiency projects for their needs
• To provide an attractive means to finance the
implementation.
California: Greener, Getting more Greener
- California is the 15th largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs)
worldwide, representing about 2% of global GHG emissions.
- AB 32 –State plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to 1990
levels, and ultimately achieving an 80% reduction from 1990 levels by
2050.
• Targets buildings
• Improve 6% of existing homes by 25% each year for 10 years
- California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Strategic Plan
• New Homes – Net Zero Energy by 2020
• Existing Homes – 40% improvement by 2020
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements
California: Greener, Getting more Greener
• California has a long history of Energy Efficiency, CA’s Energy
Efficiency Programs have helped keep per capita electricity
consumption in California flat over the past 30 years. Consumption
(KWh) is growing at a rate of 2%per annum while demand (kW) is
growing at 2.4% rate. In 2010, California’s per capita energy
consumption ranked 48th in US.
• Energy use percentage correlate to Green-House-Gas (GHG)
production and fuel procurement needs. Currently 42% of the fuel
used to create CA’s electricity does not produce GHG. In 2011, California ranked third in the Nation in conventional hydroelectric generation,
first in net electricity generation from other renewable energy resources, and
first as a producer of electricity from geothermal energy.
BRICS: The Largest Economies by 2030 1. In 2011, Brazil became the world’s Sixth-largest economy. 2. Russia is currently the Ninth-biggest economy. 3. India currently stands as the 10th-largest economy in gross
domestic product (GDP) in nominal terms, and is the fourth-largest economy in terms of GDP at Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).
4. In 2010, China became the Second-biggest economy in the world.
5. South Africa is ranked as the 26th-largest economy. 6. BRICS countries offer young populations, rapidly expanding
domestic markets, and economies that are growing at a significantly faster rate than most G7 countries.
BRICS: Population, GDP & Trade
• BRICS total GDP of close to $14 trillion now nearly equals that of the United States and is even bigger on a purchasing power parity basis.
• Together, they make up 43 percent of the world's population, • 25 percent of the world's landmass, and about 20 percent of global GDP. • They already control some 43 percent of global foreign exchange
reserves, and their share keeps rising. • The middle class is rising in BRIC countries and estimate 2 billion will join
it by 2030.
BRICS: Requirements
• Urbanization and increase of middle classes: – Boost of private
consumption
• Investment to close the infrastructure gap and to promote
import-led economy
• Sustained demand for commodities and energy sources
• Financial Resources: o Credit for increasing consumption and investment, also housing
o Development of pension systems (population aging increasingly an issue)
• Opportunities related to inclusive growth challenge o Education, health policies, social protection
BRICS: Opportunities for CA Companies

CA & BRICS: Partnership for Sustainable Development
• An integrated policy mix geared towards resource
efficiency supports economic growth as well as
environmental policy objectives.
• Future strategies for sustainable economic growth must
address natural resource use and achieve an absolute de-
coupling of resource extraction from economic growth.
CA & BRICS: Partnership for Sustainable Development
• Technological Innovations: changes of the input coefficients in
selected sectors and supply-chains, such as a reduction of the
consumption of chemicals in agriculture due to biotechnology
and the introduction of new materials in the automotive sector.
• Recycling and Material Efficiency: increase of metal recycling
and higher resource efficiency in the use of industrial and
construction minerals.
• R&D and technical progress: subsidy of research and
development of firms with a total of 1% of public consumption,
financed by a corresponding reduction in public consumption.
