The legislation - part of the EU's Green Deal Industrial Plan and seen as a response to the USA's Inflation Reduction Act - also intends to deal with the challenges in scaling up manufacturing capacities in these technologies.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">In their amendments, MEPs broadened the scope of the draft legislation to encompass the entire supply chain, including components, materials and machinery for producing net-zero technologies. They propose a wider, more comprehensive list of 17 technologies to be covered, to be updated periodically. Notably, MEPs included nuclear fission and fusion technologies, sustainable aviation fuels and specific industrial technologies.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Nuclear had only partially been included in the commission's proposal for NZIA. Among the 10 technologies it proposed was "advanced technologies to produce energy from nuclear processes with minimal waste from the fuel cycle, small modular reactors, and related best-in-class fuels".</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The law retains two project classifications: net-zero technology manufacturing projects and net-zero strategic projects. It also aims to streamline the permitting process, setting a timeline of 9-12 months for regular projects and 6-9 months for strategic projects to be authorised.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The legislation would earmark funding from national Emission Trading System revenues and for most strategic projects through the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform, a step towards a European Sovereignty fund, MEPs say.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;"><span style="background-color: #04ff00;">The legislation was adopted on 21 November with 376 votes to 139, with 116 abstentions.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">"With the adoption of this proposal, MEPs are showing they are serious about making Europe fit for industrial manufacturing," said lead MEP Christian Ehler of the European People's Party. "Without these steps to reduce the administrative burden, speed up processes, and increased public investment in our industry and innovation, Europe would face decarbonisation by deindustrialisation. This proposal shows we can prevent this."</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The proposed NZIA will now be forwarded to EU member states in the Council of Ministers for talks in early December to finalise the law. </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">[emp]</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">energiatyhmyrit</div>Olavi Tupamäkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12228250081080760755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465278446966738278.post-34575088439668610972023-09-25T16:30:00.002+03:002023-09-25T16:30:53.752+03:00VIHREÄ SÄHKÖ: VERKOT TULEVAT VASTAAN MUUALLAKIN KUIN SUOMESSA<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #353940; font-family: "Fira Sans", sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjD94pm2MYNhrtXrxg2fB7aow676RxgOJPC4ClfOYbbqvJpCn2AU97csQZz-DDlFBX1ROwaxae83x6C-D6q49Y7aPwE5qLPXG8n9zfn1eudJ2Sh83v0kzVWzJr-8xVCJvCZIzPAAHK4Ust1zAdWSEC9gqNjg6g4rNT07M9vwXsbkMdgyFX-YolOUMpxkQ" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="685" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjD94pm2MYNhrtXrxg2fB7aow676RxgOJPC4ClfOYbbqvJpCn2AU97csQZz-DDlFBX1ROwaxae83x6C-D6q49Y7aPwE5qLPXG8n9zfn1eudJ2Sh83v0kzVWzJr-8xVCJvCZIzPAAHK4Ust1zAdWSEC9gqNjg6g4rNT07M9vwXsbkMdgyFX-YolOUMpxkQ" width="320" /></a></b></div><b>Europe's electricity industry has warned that unprecedented investments are needed to upgrade ageing electricity grids, or the EU will fail to meet its clean energy targets.</b><p></p><div _ngcontent-ng-c2441013386="" class="popup-new-description" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353940; font-family: "Fira Sans", sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 22px; order: 6; outline: none;"><p style="font-size: 14px;"></p><p _ngcontent-ng-c2441013386="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The European Union's plans to curb climate change foresee millions more electric vehicles on European roads by 2030, as well as a massive expansion of renewable energy, and electric heat pumps starting to replace fossil fuel boilers in houses.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Electricity industry association Eurelectric said on Thursday that to support those goals, average annual investments in Europe's electricity grids from now to 2050 need to be at least 84% higher than they were in 2021.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">"We want to transform the entire energy system at record speed, replace fossil fuels - oil and gas - with electricity.

It's just not the case," he told Reuters.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The European Commission has said power grid investments of 584 billion euros ($626.3 billion) per year are needed until 2030 to meet green goals.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Much of that is expected to come from private sources or be paid for through grid tariffs. Eurelectric said public funding should target upgrading grids quickly, over other longer-term infrastructure like hydrogen projects that would launch in the 2030s.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson told Reuters grid projects will be included in an upcoming list of cross-border infrastructure that will be offered faster permits and access to EU funding.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">"If we will not upgrade grid infrastructure very fast, we will not achieve our 2030 targets," she said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Forty percent of Europe's power distribution grids are over 40 years old. Most are designed around large centralised power plants, and will need upgrading to distribute power from the fleet of local solar panels and wind farms expected to plug in this decade.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">EU countries are negotiating power market reforms that could make it easier and faster for grid operators to invest in upgrading networks.

That was up from a renewable share of 49.2% in the first six months of 2022, according to utility group BDEW and the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW).</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Germany wants green power from solar, wind, biomass and hydroelectric generation to account for 80% of its energy mix by 2030, as it abandons nuclear power and aims to cut most of its coal generation and use gas plants mostly for grid back-up. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The preliminary figures showed higher photovoltaic production in May and June, due to favourable weather. They also reflected far lower power consumption in the first half of 2023 when electricity usage fell 6.5% year-on-year to 262.8 terawatt hours (TWh), BDEW noted in a statement. The data was calculated under a European Union requirement to base the green share on usage rather than production, a method adopted by the Berlin government for its climate targets, BDEW said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Domestic electricity production fell 10.8% to 265.9 TWh in the six-month period, including production for export, the data showed.

"This creates the conditions for nuclear power," Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said in parliament. "We need more electricity production, we need clean electricity and we need a stable energy system."</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sweden's parties agreed a deal in 2016 that new reactors could be built at existing sites. However, without subsidies, it has been seen as too expensive. The new right-of-centre coalition says new reactors are essential to power the shift to a fossil-free economy and has promised generous loan guarantees. Around 98% of electricity in Sweden is already generated from water, nuclear and wind.</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">State-owned utility Vattenfall is looking at building at least two small modular reactors and at extending the life of the country's existing reactors.

That’s because this fusion needs to take place at extremely high temperatures that create hot plasma and because researchers have struggled to obtain more energy from those plasmas than the energy input to run them.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is building the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), a prototype fusion power plant, which it hopes will be the world’s first prototype fusion power plant by 2040. Private industry is also developing concepts and securing commercial investment.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">“The Government agrees with the RHC that the lower intrinsic hazard of the fusion process when compared to fission is an incredibly important factor in considering the regulatory framework for fusion,” Amanda Solloway, the UK Minister for Science, Research, and Innovation, said.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; outline: none;">Last week, the UKAEA announced a possible breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, in which an experiment in the UK achieved at least a tenfold reduction in the heat on materials on the key fusion machine components. An innovative exhaust system was found to handle the intense heat during the fusion reaction, which would allow components to last much longer and potentially make compact fusion power plants commercially viable, the UK government said. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[emp]</span></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">energiatyhmyrit</div>Olavi Tupamäkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12228250081080760755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465278446966738278.post-9261388181783423952021-05-11T11:20:00.000+03:002021-05-11T11:20:36.871+03:00KHO HYLKÄSI ÖSTERSUNDOMIN KAAVAN!Helsinkimafian vetäjien Jan Vapaavuoren & Jussi Pajusen Matti Vanhasen tuella läpiajama Sipoon kaappaus 2007 päättyi nyt totaaliseen fiaskoon.

study led by Imperial College London (ICL) researchers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A number of
tenders in Europe have contracted “subsidy-free” offshore wind energy, but the
UK may be the first country to get offshore wind that would actually reduce the
electricity bills of homes and businesses, the international team behind the
analysis says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Looking at
likely future electricity price trends, the researchers concluded that the
price for offshore wind power achieved in the third CfD auctions round is “very
likely” to be below the UK wholesale price for electricity over the lifetime of
the wind farms. This means that <span style="background-color: yellow;">these power plants at sea will be paying money
back to the government.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Offshore wind
projects with almost 5.5 GW of capacity, to be brought online in the mid-2020s,
secured CfDs in the 2019 auctions. The list includes projects like Seagreen 1
and Sofia. The strike prices in the auction arrived at around GBP 40 (USD
51.4/EUR 44) per MWh, or 30% below these reached in the CfD auction held in
2017, and <span style="background-color: yellow;">two-thirds lower than the offshore wind strike prices in 2015.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“This amazing
progress has been made possible by new technology, economies of scale and
efficient supply chains around the North Sea, but also by a decade of concerted
policymaking designed to reduce the risk for investing in offshore wind, which
has made financing these huge billion-pound projects much cheaper,” said Dr
Iain Staffell from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A fourth CfD
auction round is planned for 2021. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[emp]</span></span></div>

year in the U.S., about one million birds die as a consequence of collisions
with buildings. Now <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">House Passes Bill To Retrofit Federal Buildings To
Reduce Bird Collisions. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bird-safety
enthusiasts, including ENR 2014 Newsmaker Christine Sheppard, are hailing the
passage last week, by the U.S. House of Representatives, of H.R. 919 –
Bird-Safe Buildings Act. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Sheppard,
director of the glass collisions program at the American Bird Conservancy
(ABC), calls the recognition of the issue at the federal level a momentous
achievement because, if passed by the Senate and put into law, it will set an
example for the entire nation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
bipartisan bill is designed to reduce bird mortality by calling for federal
buildings to incorporate bird-safe building materials and design features. As
many as 1 billion <i>(?)</i> birds a year die in collisions with buildings in the U.S.
alone, according to ABC. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Congressman
Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) has been the driving force behind the legislation for
more than a decade. The bill will soon be introduced in the Senate, and
conservationists are optimistic about its passage, says ABC.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Techniques</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Many
bird-friendly design techniques—such as installing screens or grills on windows
and minimizing the use of glass on lower floors—are already used in some
federal buildings to control heat and light, or for security. The bill would
require the U.S. General Services Administration to apply similar measures,
where practicable, to all new and existing federal buildings.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In
2008, ABC founded the only national-level program dedicated to reducing bird
deaths from collisions with glass, says Sheppard. Since then, more than 20
states, counties and municipalities have passed bird-friendly legislation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Last
December 2019, the New York City Council passed the nation’s most comprehensive
bird-friendly buildings law. According to New York City Audubon's Project Safe
Flight, 90,000 to 230,000 birds die after colliding with glass each year during
their migrations through New York City alone. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[enr]</span></span></div>
