European Energy’s Post

Its time that extended producer responsibility schemes and governments respect the 2018 Waste Framework Directive and the 2019 Single Use Products Directive and properly fund litter prevention programmes and awareness raising. Besides, more and better prevention will help cut the cleansing bill at a fraction of the cost of the actual cleaning! Shame on the EU Council of Ministers for removing the clause in the Packaging Regulation currently being finalised that would exonerate Member States from ensuring proper collection infrastructure is in place in the public space. Shame on the European Parliament for accepting the deletion of this provision, which it proposed! How can we win the battle against litter when European governments and companies ignore their responsibilities? Time to step up!

Marine ecosystem #superstar Even Moland is researching the implications of losing larger and older predatory species in marine ecosystems, often caused by pressures from fisheries. This is the kind of research we need to help quantify the ecological, social and economic effects of losing important predatory species, and how they can lead to catastrophic #trophic #cascades. I understand the project is piloting in the south of Norway and towards Denmark, but maybe it can be expanded to the North of Norway as well? The more we quantify and appreciate the value of older, larger, slow-to-reproduce predatory species in ecosystems, the sooner we can bring greater protection to keystone species like the #wolffish, and help restore balance to our disappearing kelp forests. NoMaRe - Norwegian Marine Restoration strongly supports this kind of research, and would encourage #scientists studying similar subjects to reach out to us, so we can discuss and see how we can potentially help amplify your work. #restoration #overfishing #norway #norge #tare #tareskog #oceans #science #oceandecade

Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt - FFI ) has created a missile based on standard components. As seen in Ukraine war with use of drones, there is growing adaptation of mass produced civilian products into warfare. This project shows well the potential of what can be done both to reduce cost and thus mass produce advanced weapons. We will surely see more of such solutions in coming years.

Imagine being stranded in your car for an entire day due to a #SnowStorm? That was the case in the recent #Snow chaos in #Denmark. In the wake of recent snow-related disruptions, it's clear that #innovative solutions are urgently needed to keep our roads #Safe and #Operational. While traditional methods have their place, the technology offered by #Snowless represents a forward-thinking approach to this perennial challenge. By leveraging advanced #WeatherPredictionAlgorithms and #EcoFriendly #Deicing methods, Snowless not only aims to mitigate the immediate impacts of #snowfall but also addresses broader environmental concerns. This incident highlights the importance of adopting such innovative solutions as Snowless to ensure our #infrastructure remains #resilient against the unpredictability of weather.

Lifting with soft, synthetic chains is a good alternative to lifting with steel chains. They are particularly suitable for lifting tasks where long or heavy chains need to be used and often handled. 👉 Soft synthetic chains have many advantages: • They are 8 times lighter than steel chains • They are extremely strong as they are made of Dyneema® • They are safe to work with • You minimize damage to workpieces with them • They float on water 💡Our synthetic chains are also known as HMPE chains, and they are available for both lifting and lashing tasks. https://lnkd.in/ddcbg6Nr #syntetiskekæder #liftingknowhow #kæder #certex #løftekæde #løfteudstyr CERTEX Danmark A/S

Diversification is vital. Nor do investors rely on just one type of stock on the stock exchange. In emergency cases, independent traction is what saves the whole business case. Do you remember the floods last summer in Norway? Powered by European Loc Pool AG

Have you ever thought about where things end up when you flush the toilet? 🚽 Do you think your council magically filters out everything? Think again. Everything you flush down the toilet ends up in the sea in one form or the other - also in areas with filtering stations - they do not catch microplastics, and in heavy rainfall, they often have to send sewage through the overflow system directly into the sea. 💩 🌊 How would you like to live around floating cigarette buts, used sanitary products, nappies, flossers, condoms, discarded contact lenses, etc? Think of the fish! 🐟 PS - don't throw hair down the toilet either - hair "helps" combine the other litter into knots, which become plugs - giving the whole system constipation!

🌀 Right now, extreme weather is wreaking havoc in parts of Norway.   According to the IPCC, extreme weather has already become more frequent and intense due to climate change, and will only increase if emissions are not brought down.   ❤️🕒 On February 14 at 15:00 CET, Simonsen Vogt Wiig hosts a discussion on climate-attributed extreme weather events, insurance law and liability.   The CEO of NORSK NATURSKADEPOOL, Ståle Solem Ingebrigtsen, will describe the unprecedented challenges for insurers. Our insurance and dispute law experts Anette Fjeld and Therese Sætre Løfsgaard, will share insights on Norwegian case-law.   I will contribute with developments from climate liability cases brought against high-emitting companies world-wide. 👉 Registration here (Norwegian only): https://lnkd.in/d5tyuSHz Finans Norge @SVW Dispute
