In the broader markets, Financials were the worst performing sectors, owing to concerns over the US sub-prime credit market, with Energy Equipment & Services bucking the trend as the price of crude oil rose to US$78 per bbl. During the month, the Chinese government announced that it would be allocating a further US$ 1.3 billion to energy conservation and carbon emission reduction programmes for 2007, in addition to the US$ 1.5 billion already financed by the state. Key measures include optimising power plants and energy saving for buildings. In 2006, China overtook the United States as the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, according to the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. Elsewhere, statements from the Spanish Government have created uncertainty in the solar sector. The current incentive program in Spain targets 371 MW of installed capacity. However, strong investor interest has led to a backlog of over 1 GW of projects, which could cost up to ¤900 million per year in feed-in tariffs. The fate of the backlog hangs in the balance, with the government expected to publish an updated proposal in September. A negative response in this important market could prove negative to sentiment and forecasts for solar companies. In the water sector, following severe floods in the north-east of England at the end of June, areas in the south-west of England succumbed to the worst floods in 60 years in July. Meanwhile, amidst continued flooding in Kansas and Missouri in the US, Southern California suffered its lowest level of rainfall since records began in 1880s. Increasing levels of flooding and droughts worldwide should focus more attention on stormwater management and water conservation and sourcing issues, which should benefit portfolio companies. Stocks that contributed to the decrease in the Company's NAV during July included Tomra (reverse vending machines, Norway), which fell 12% on lower profits resulting from lower demand in Germany. Lassila & Tikanoja (waste disposal and recycling, Finland) also fell 11% after a profit warning. On the upside, Badger (water metering, US) rose 19% after winning a large contract for the city of Chicago, and LKQ (automotive recycling, US) gained 15% following the strategic acquisition of Keystone Automotive Industries.
