01/20/12 Global - Best Countries for Business - Bloomberg Rankings has analyzed dozens of data points from 11 sources to devise a new ranking of the world's best countries for business. Fifty nations were analyzed on six broad criteria including the cost of starting a business, the cost of labor and materials, and the cost of moving goods. The study also tallied how integrated each country was into the global economy, the "readiness" of its consumer base to participate in economic activity, and less tangible costs such as corruption and property rights protection. The winner? Hong Kong, whose strong rankings on all six criteria edged it ahead of the Netherlands (No. 2) and the U.S. (No. 3). One surprise in the results was the relatively poor showing for the giants of emerging markets, the so-called BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. China came in at No. 19, thanks to a strong showing in the cost of transport, but Russia, India, and Brazil were ranked 48th, 49th, and 50th, respectively, due to less-developed consumer markets and intangible costs - Bloomberg: Review Top 20 Countries in a slide show

01/19/12 United States - Data Center Markets - Low-cost Midwestern cities like Omaha, Council Bluffs, Ames, Iowa, and Sioux Falls, S.D., stand to gain high-security data centers in coming years, according to a site location consultant for the data security industry. It won't be a huge employment influx — about 75 jobs per location and a total of as many as 70,000 jobs spread nationally by 2015 — but the work pays well and the computer-heavy data centers are rich sources of property tax funds, said John Boyd Jr., principal with the Boyd Cos. Inc. of Princeton, N.J. His company's study of operating costs, available and qualified workers, fiber-optic capacity, insulation from natural disasters and other factors puts Sioux Falls as the No. 1 candidate for new data centers. The rest of the top 10, in order: Tulsa, Okla; Ames; Council Bluffs; Bloomington, Ind.; Albuquerque, N.M.; San Antonio; Omaha; Colorado Springs; and Denton, Texas - Omaha World Herald: Read More

01/17/12 Bahamas, Caribbean Islands - Mariculture Markets - The Bahamian economy sector could receive a $500 billion annual injection should the country move towards establishing a mariculture industry, an accountant and author telling Tribune Business that this nation is perhaps the world's most conducive to grow fish. Speaking on his recent book, Yes You Can: A Bahamian Plan, veteran accountant Milford Lockhart told Tribune Business that with the demand for seafood rising, the Bahamas must move towards capitalizing on this lucrative industry. According to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), demand for seafood will double by 2040, with much of the supply to likely come from farmed seafood. While the Bahamas is among the world's major exporters of spiny lobster (crawfish), Mr. Lockhart said that was a 'drop in the bucket' to the potential benefits to be attained from the mariculture industry - The Tribune: Read More

01/16/12 Africa - Biogas Markets - Organic waste is one of the untapped sources of natural energy available today. “It's a simple solution that can be deployed in as quickly as three days but people don't know too much about it”, says Jonathan de Magalhães, Managing Director of Ubuntu Energy Solutions. While biogas is used all over the world --India for example has more than 4.5 million digesters–harnessing biogas energy in South Africa is practically unknown. Only a small number of digesters have been built successfully and commissioned to date – a loss to the renewable industry sector in the country since biogas fulfills all of the criteria relating to environmental sustainability, requires a relatively low technological input and is cost effective to implement - Modern Ghana/Africa Energy Iduaba: Read More --- To learn more about biogas technology, be sure to attend the annual Africa Energy Indaba being held from February 21 to 23, 2012 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

01/02/12 United States - Water & Sewer Market - Billions needed to upgrade America’s leaky water infrastructure - Although they are out of sight and out of mind except when they spring a leak, water and sewer systems are more vital to civilized society than any other aspect of infrastructure. Rapidly deteriorating roads and bridges may stifle America’s economy and turn transportation headaches into nightmares, but if the nation’s water and sewer systems begin to fail, life as we know it will too. Without an ample supply of water, people don’t drink, toilets don’t flush, factories don’t operate, offices shut down and fires go unchecked. When sewage systems fail, cities can’t function and epidemics break out. The vast majority of the country’s water systems are in urgent need of repair and replacement. At a Senate hearing last month, it was estimated that, on average, 25 percent of drinking water leaks from water system pipes before reaching the faucet.
