In Alternative Energy & Energy Efficiency, Japan announced plans to launch an experimental carbon trading scheme and pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60-80% by 2050. Prime Minister Fukoda said Japan would need to raise the portion of its energy needs met through alternative sources such as solar and wind power, and ensure that half of all new cars ran on 'next generation' fuels by 2020. China's central bank also drew up a tentative outline for a domestic emissions trading scheme. Germany's government approved major legislative proposals to drive energy efficiency and renewables. 25% of Germany's goal of 40% carbon emission reduction between 1990 and 2020 is expected to be met through the measures. The central element of the plan is to double electricity generated by combined heat and power technology (CHP) to 25%, and increase the share of renewable electricity to 20%, in part by subsidising off-shore wind farm development. In Water Treatment & Pollution Control, Germany and France agreed to a European Commission goal of cutting average CO2 emissions for new cars, with a 'phasing-in' period for broader fleets. This signifies an important break-through in achieving a target of 120g/km of average CO2 emissions from 2012. In Waste Technologies & Resource Management, the European parliament finalised a significant revision of EU waste management rules. The agreement adopted the first ever general EU recycling target (50% of household waste, and 70% of building and demolition waste by 2020), and confirmed a clear five-step hierarchy of waste management options under EU law, from prevention to reuse, recycling, recovery and disposal. Waste-to-energy incinerators will be reclassified as recovery facilities, provided they meet certain efficiency standards. In Alternative Energy & Energy Efficiency, natural gas engine stocks out-performed. Fuel Systems Solutions (US) and Westport Innovations (Canada) were up 38% and 16% respectively. Both companies are benefiting from the widened spread between gasoline and gas prices. Ceres Power (fuel cell boilers, UK) was up 29% following a positive update on the contract with British Gas. In Water Treatment & Pollution Control, Camco (carbon credit originator, UK) rose 33% on news of a high profile investor's position in the stock, and an acquisition. In Waste Technologies & Resource Management metals recyclers Metalico (US) and Sims Group continued to benefit from strong commodity prices, up 10% and 8% respectively. LKQ Corp (used auto parts, US) fell 18% following downgrades due to demand uncertainty, and Clarcor (filtration products, US) disappointed following second quarter results below expectations.
