Global Warming What is Global Warming? It is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.
Primary Greenhouse Gases on the Earth’s atmosphere: • Carbon Dioxide • Water vapour • Methane • Nitrous Oxide • Ozone
Some Facts • The profile of global energy consumption reveals that the world remains highly dependant on fossil fuels. • The burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. • Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that enhances radiative forcing and contributes to global warming. • In the United States, more than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels
Melting of Arctic ice caps • Rise in water levels • Floods
Change in temperature • Habitats get destroyed • Extinction of animal species
Business Idea SOLAR STREET LIGHTS
Overview • Import • 60:40 • 40% self invested • Target market will be B2B (DHA, Bahria town etc.)
Product • Solar Powered Panels which will be powered by the sun • No maintenance scheduled for the first 5 years • automatic operation from dusk to dawn or timed ON/OFF operation • over 8 years of typical operating life, with a 2-year warranty
PRICE • Selling price of one solar street light is about 130,000 rupees • The total cost of a normal street light including all external cost over 2 years adds up to 140,000 rupees • In short, it is 20% more expensive than a normal street light without adding electricity bills • The consumer will recover that 20% in 2 years due to no electricity bills and zero maintenance
PLACE • There will be one warehouse, in an easily accessible location • Imported street lights will be stored in the warehouse before taken for installation • Customers will visit our office located near the ware house to place orders.
PROMOTION • Sponsor different environment related events to create awareness among the general public. • Show advertisements on television and publish leaflets. • Use important figures to spread our message and at the same time our product.
STRENGHTHS • Among Few suppliers of solar street lights • Competitive pricing • Latest Technology • Plenty of sunshine in Pakistan • (approx. 300 days are sunny)
WEAKNESSES • Getting Funds • Lack of awareness • Start with only one branch
OPPORTUNITIES • New Housing authorities are being established • As the business progresses new branches will be opened • Profitable business through which we can recover our investments\ loan in a short time
THREATS • Pakistan is an unstable country • Low level income groups may not be able to afford our product • Global Recession
