Within the broader equity markets, technology and general industries were the best performing sectors. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 rose an impressive 9.3%. During the month the International Energy Agency published a report forecasting energy demand to grow by more than 50% by 2030. Under the scenario Saudi Arabia would have to invest $174 billion on oil and gas projects, reversing the spending cuts of the late 1980s and 1990s, in order to avoid a global energy crisis. Against this backdrop, global investment in renewable energy hit a record $30 billion last year, according to a Worldwatch Institute report. In Germany, MTU CFC and RWE announced plans for the first wastewater plant to be powered by fuel cells operating on anaerobic digester gas. Excess electricity will be supplied to the grid whilst the heat byproduct will be used to operate the plant's digestion tower. In the UK, the government continues to support emerging renewable technologies, with the announcement of a £50m program to support wave and tidal energy. Former Energy Minister Mike O'Brien who announced the scheme predicted that the first large-scale wave and tidal power projects in the UK could be generating electricity within 3 years. Within the corporate sector, solar companies continue to raise funds, with SunPower joining the Nasdaq after a $140 million IPO. Siemens announced the acquisition of AN Windenergie, a German turbine supplier and project developer, having bought Bonus Energy in December 2004. As with General Electric, the company is rolling out its business activities across environmental markets. Last month it bought Wheelabrator Air Pollution Control, a US supplier of flue gas desulphurisation systems, and this month it also announced a deal in Japan with Meidensha to develop and market a solid oxide fuel cell system. The main contributors to performance were Horiba (+20%), Pentair (+18%) and Chloride (+18%). On the downside Vestas (wind, Denmark) fell 30% on a profit warning. We had been aware of some component supply difficulties in the industry but were surprised by the extent to which this had affected Vestas. Quantum (hydrogen systems, US) was down 23% on continued uncertainty within the automotive sector. During the month we participated in IPO's for Biopetrol (biofuels, Germany) and Amiad Filtration (water filtration, Israel).
