"The decision by the court to allow states to continue work on their carbon reduction plans under the Presidents Clean Power Plan is a victory for advocates of clean energy everywhere. State regulators can now begin to incorporate a significantly growing role for solar power into their long-term energy planning.
"Smart industry, financial and government leaders are already betting on the Clean Power Plan by moving forward with initiatives and policies to advance a clean energy economy. The solar Investment Tax Credit extension enacted late last year is a great example of recent policy that can speed emissions reductions. The extension is a powerful job-creating engine that is leading Americans to derive a growing share of their electricity from the sun.
"Solar companies across the country support the Clean Power Plan and are already innovating and transitioning to a clean energy economy. Solar is the most affordable form of carbon-free energy that states can employ to meet Clean Power Plan requirements."

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
