intelligent urbanization special prize awarded
April 28th, 2014
The winner of the intelligent urbanization special prize has been determined. The award went to the "Anshan District Heating Energy Efficient Surplus Heat Utilization Project", with which the Danish business Danfoss significantly improved the energy efficiency of the city of Anshan and by this means the quality of life of its four million citizens by implementing a district heating solution. In cooperation with the local government of Anshan and the AnGang Steel Company, Danfoss developed the concept to restructure a steel plant in order to supply the grid with energy generated from excess heat.
The award has been handed over by Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München on April 14th in the City of Anshan in China. With its intelligent urbanization project Messe München adopted the sponsorship of the special award that has been initiated this year. Also present were Wu Zhongqiong (Mayoress of Anshan), Zhao Yufu (Vice Mayor of Anshan), Anton Koller (Vice President of Danfoss) and Jing Fengru (Vice President of Anshan Iron & Steel Group Corporation).
Laudatio held by David Mayer de Rothschild
April 24th, 2014
On May 4th, 2014, the well-known ecologist and environmental activist David Mayer de Rothschild will be on stage with Dr. Heike Schiffler from Tetra Pak to hold a laudatio for the category Recycling & Resources. The 35-year-old British national founded Adventure Ecology, an organization famous for its adventurous expeditions, to raise awareness for the disastrous consequences of global environmental pollution. Plastic waste in the oceans is especially close to his heart. In 2010, he set out to sail from California to Australia on a catamaran made of plastic bottles and recycling materials. Four months later, on July 27th, 2010, he arrived in Sydney on the Plastiki.

Laureate in the category lifestyle has been chosen
April 22nd, 2014
The GreenTec Award in the category lifestyle was presented beforehand as well. The winner is Bio-Natur-Strohhalme, a project by Bio-Strohhalme.com. The natural product made of rye provides an alternative to straws made of plastic. The straws are a waste product in the process of harvesting rye and would otherwise be thrown away.
Instead of contributing to plastic waste, carbon dioxide emissions and crude-oil-consumption this natural material can be re-used. The environmentally friendly bio-straws are nearly free of CO2-emissions, tasteless, non-allergic, ecological and hygienic. Through the 100 percent regional and organic cultivation of the product a contribution to sustaining the regional agriculture is simultaneously made.
The award ceremony was held on April 4th, 2014, in Munich, in the presence of the laureates Dominik Wagner and Jana Gessert of Bio-Strohhalme.com, as well as Marco Voigt, the founder of the GreenTec Awards.

مصر: تحديث محطات الكهرباء يحتاج 4 بلايين دولار
تحتاج مصر لاستثمار ما لا يقل عن أربعة بلايين دولار في محطات الكهرباء المتهالكة، ما يبرز تحدياً رئيسياً لرئيس الجمهورية المقبل في ظل احتمال تفاقم مشكلة انقطاع الكهرباء خلال فصل الصيف. وتتسم قضية الطاقة في مصر بحساسية معيّنة، إذ أصبح انقطاع الكهرباء أمراً معتاداً حتى في العاصمة القاهرة، كما كانت سبباً في تصاعد المعارضة ضد الرئيس الإسلامي السابق محمد مرسي قبل إطاحته في تموز (يوليو) الماضي.
في وقت يعزو بضعهم الأزمة إلى نقص إمدادات الغاز، إلا أن وكيلة وزارة الكهرباء والطاقة لشؤون تطوير الأداء والاتصال السياسي صباح محمد مشالي أكدت أن الأولوية يجب أن تكون لتحديث الشبكة. وقالت في مقابلة مع وكالة «رويترز»: «لا توجد لدينا طاقة فائضة، فنحن نغطي الطلب فقط». وأضافت: «وجود فائض من الطاقة ضروري لسد أي نقص مفاجئ في الإنتاج بسبب حوادث، أو أعمال صيانة في 52 محطة توليد كهرباء يعمل معظمها بالغاز وأكثر من 25 في المئة منها عمره أكثر من 20 سنة». وأشارت إلى أن «تحديث هذه المحطات وبناء محطات جديدة سيكلف على الأقل أربعة أو خمسة بلايين دولار، وبلايين الدولارات لزيادة طاقة إنتاج الشبكة».
وتعجز الشبكة المتهالكة التي تديرها الدولة عن تلبية نمو الطلب المتسارع على الكهرباء في بلد يقطنه 85 مليون شخص، كما تفاقمت أزمة نقص الغاز في السنوات الماضية، إذ لا يكفي الإنتاج المحلي الآخذ في التناقص لتلبية الطلب المحلي والتزامات التصدير. ويرتفع استهلاك الكهرباء في الصيف مع تشغيل أجهزة التكييف، ولكن نقص الغاز تسبب في انقطاع التيار حتى في الشتاء هذه السنة، للمرة الأولى منذ عقود.
يتسبب استخدام أنواع وقود بديلة مثل زيت الوقود (المازوت) في تعرض محطات الكهرباء لأضرار. وقالت مشالي: «اضطرنا نقص الغاز إلى تأجيل صيانة بعض المحطات وأضحى الوضع أكثر تعقيداً». ويُخشى أن تصل الأزمة إلى ذروتها في شهري تموز وآب (أغسطس) المقبلين عندما تصل حرارة الصيف إلى أقصى مستوياتها.
وتتجه الحكومة الموقتة، كما سابقتها، إلى حلول قصيرة الأجل وتحض المواطنين على ترشيد الاستهلاك وتتفاوض مع دول خليجية صديقة لاستيراد منتجات النفط بشروط ميسرة.
أكد مسؤولون أن المستثمرين من القطاع الخاص يعزفون عن تمويل تطوير إنتاج الغاز وزيادته في ظل غياب إصلاح نظام دعم الوقود الذي يتسبب في هدر كبير لموارد الدولة، كما لا أحد يرغب في بناء طاقة جديدة لتوليد الكهرباء لتباع بأقل من كلفة الإنتاج، في حين أن الأسعار المنخفضة في شكل مصطنع لا تعطي المصريين حافزاً يُذكر لترشيد الاستهلاك. ويبلغ سعر الكهرباء للاستهلاك المنزلي بين خمسة قروش و67 قرشاً لكل كيلوواط/ ساعة في مصر (بين سنت و10 سنتات)، بينما يبلغ في الولايات المتحدة بين ثمانية و37 سنتاً، وفق بيانات إدارة معلومات الطاقة الأميركية.
وشددت مشالي على «الحاجة لاستثمارات خاصة لتحديث الشبكة»، محذرة من أن ذلك لن يحدث قبل أن تقلص الحكومة دعم الوقود الذي يستنزف 20 في المئة من موازنة الدولة». ولكن بعض الخبراء يشكك في ذلك، إذ تساءل محلل الطاقة في الشرق الأوسط في «وود ماكنزي» ينز زيمرمان «لماذا يتعهد مستثمر من القطاع خاص ببناء محطة تعمل بالغاز في ظل عجز الحكومة عن ضمان إمدادات وقود مستقرة وعجز المحطة عن العمل بالطاقة المزمعة».
شدّدت مشالي على ضرورة تخصيص قطاع الكهرباء في نهاية المطاف بما يتماشى مع الاتجاه العالمي، في حين أشارت وزارة الكهرباء إلى أن طاقة شبكة الكهرباء ستقترب من 34 ألف ميغاواط هذا الصيف، بشرط إنجاز أعمال الصيانة في محطات عدة في الوقت المحدد وبدء تشغيل ثلاث محطات جديدة، بما يتيح تغطية آمنة لذروة الطلب في الصيف حين يصل إلى 28 ألف ميغاواط.
لكن خبراء يبدون شكوكاً تجاه هذه التوقعات، إذ أوضح الخبير في جامعة «أوكسفورد» جاستن دارغين أن «متوسط كفاءة تشغيل محطات الكهرباء في مصر يبلغ 80 - 85 في المئة، والعجز الفعلي سيصل إلى ما بين أربعة وخمسة آلاف ميغاواط في تموز بعد احتساب الفاقد عند التوزيع».
لفت إلى أن هذا «العجز الكبير لن يؤدي إلى انقطاع الكهرباء لفترات طويلة فحسب، بل سيضغط بشدة على شبكة الكهرباء المركزية السيئة»، مضيفاً أن «مصر تدفع الآن ثمن النقص المزمن للاستثمارات وإهمال شبكة الكهرباء المركزية».

An In-Depth Look at the Future of American Energy and How We Get There
Imagine a world where homes not only run on clean electricity but also generate, store, and sell it. A world where power companies get paid for conserving energy, not just producing it. Where, when supplies are tight, the power grid gives customers the option of being paid to reduce and even shift their energy use to a different time of day, allowing us to use more renewable energy.
The U.S. is poised to spend around $2 trillion over the next two decades replacing our outdated electric infrastructure. We must make sure those investments are not spent on replacing old, dirty power plants with more of the same. If we’re truly going to unleash the clean energy future, we must invest in renewable energy and a smarter grid that can smooth out the demand for power and reduce harmful air pollution.
Now, more than ever, we need to be smarter about the way electricity is made, moved and used, and EDF is working to bring forth a new, dynamic approach to American energy- one that wastes less and generates more clean, on-site, local energy that puts customers in the driver’s seat
This is a vision of a smarter, cleaner, more reliable energy system, and it’s the vision that drives the EDF Clean Energy Program. Starting in nine states that make up nearly half of the U.S. energy market, this program aims to transform our country’s outmoded electricity system to clear the way for clean energy.
In true EDF fashion, that means choosing our issues strategically and focusing our efforts where they will make the greatest impact. These decisions are governed primarily at the state level by state Public Utility Commissions (PUCs), so EDF is working with state PUCs, state legislators and other partners to advance clean energy solutions in Texas, California, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York
How will we get there
First, we want to ensure the rules of the road fairly values clean, reliable energy. This means revising a century-old utility business model, which currently measures success by the amount of megawatts sold, to one that rewards utilities for generating and selling energy more wisely, sustainably, and efficiently. The cleanest and cheapest megawatt is the one utilities don’t have to generate, and energy efficiencymeasures and proven tools like demand response are making smarter, more efficient energy use a practical reality. We’re working to make the “negawatt” profitable for utilities
Many of the needed changes will require significant upgrades to our aging power grid and a legacy of outdated policies that are stifling energy innovation. Our work with energy research pioneer Pecan Street Inc. in Austin, TX is already yielding remarkable insight for utilities about how a smarter, cleaner grid (and smarter, more engaged customers) can reduce the need for expensive, polluting power plants. And our work with public utility commissions and legislatures in these key states will help eliminate bureaucratic rules that prevent entrepreneurs from entering this market
Finally, we want to help open the floodgates for investment in residential and commercial clean energy upgrades. Today, homeowners that want to install rooftop solar and facility managers that want to reduce their buildings’ carbon footprint face a similar lack of financing options. Our team is working with the investment community to establish new financing tools, like on-bill repayment (OBR), for projects large and small. EDF’s Investor Confidence Project is making huge strides in how energy efficiency upgrades for commercial buildings are financed, by introducing a system of standardization in how projects are funded, managed, and tracked. These standardized protocols are able to serve as a “recipe book” for ‘investor ready’ energy efficiency projects and the result is a commercial building sector with lower operating costs, higher market value, and a significantly lower carbon footprint
We think America’s greatest contribution to the health of the planet today can be to pioneer an open, vibrant market for clean energy that sparks private capital and technological innovation, creates jobs, and delivers affordable, efficient, clean energy. But we need new rules, new ideas, and new approaches to overcome a century of the carbon-based “business as usual.”
Tracking our progress, looking ahead
Across the country, elected officials and business leaders are achieving some important victories, and our team has been working with them to provide technical and policy assistance.
Just last month, New Jersey’s Office of Clean Energy released a proposal to allocate $2.5 million for incentives that would encourage more energy storage use. In Minnesota, the state PUC established the first statewide program to fairly value investments in rooftop solar electricity generation. In Illinois, Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) proposed an accelerated timetable for completing its deployment of four million smart meters – a key component of a modernized grid. In February, California state senator Kevin de León introduced a bill to establish the first “Green Bank” in California, a bold proposal that would unleash low-cost financing opportunities for clean energy projects throughout the Golden State. And in New York, where Superstorm Sandy knocked out power for millions less than two years ago, the Public Service Commission ordered the state’s largest utility in February to begin implementing one of the most comprehensive storm resiliency plans in the nation.
A lot is happening in the EDF Clean Energy Program’s priority states thanks to public-private partnerships between visionary elected officials, experts in the field, and innovative entrepreneurs, among others. Even still, there is a lot of opposition to progress from the fossil-fuel industry and global warming deniers. But thanks to EDF supporters like you, our team is on the ground where the rubber hits the road (or where good ideas hit roadblocks). Our action plan for 2014 includes increased activity in each of these key states, and we will update you throughout the year on our blog, the Energy Exchange, as our efforts continue to produce results.
About the Author: Cheryl Roberto leads the national EDF Clean Energy Program. Through regulatory reform and new utility incentives, among others, the EDF Clean Energy Program aims to help modernize our outdated energy infrastructure, accelerate the deployment of cutting-edge, clean technologies into the nation’ electric system and break down the regulatory and financial barriers to broad-scale adoption of renewable energy, energy efficiency and other innovative ways to generate, distribute and use energy

مصادر: زيادة أسعار الغاز والكهرباء الشهر المقبل
م. ابراهيم محلب رئيس الوزراء
قالت مصادر مطلعة إن الحكومة ستبدأ الشهر المقبل تطبيق قرار رئيس الوزراء بزيادة أسعار الغاز والكهرباء على فواتير الاستهلاك، معلنة عن وجود اتجاه لاستخدام بدائل للطاقة جارٍ دراستها لاختيار أفضلها.
قال مصدر مسؤول بوزارة البترول إن زيادة سعر الغاز للمنازل تأتى ضمن خطة لترشيد استهلاك المواد البترولية، وخفض الدعم الذى بلغ فى ميزانية العام الماضى نحو 128 مليار جنيه، وسط توقعات بأن يصل فى نهاية العام المالى الجارى إلى نحو 140 مليارا.
وأوضح المصدر أن الوزارة لديها عدة سيناريوهات لخفض الدعم، تتضمن زيادة سعر الغاز للمنازل مع تحديدها بشرائح مراعاة لمحدودى الدخل، خاصة أن أغلب المنازل تقع ضمن الشريحة الأولى التى يتراوح استهلاكها شهريا بين 25 و50 مترا مكعبا، لتكون المحاسبة وفقا للأسعار الجديدة، وهى 40 قرشا حتى 25 مترا مكعبا، ثم 100 قرش حتى 50 مترا مكعبا، وما يزيد على ذلك 150 قرشا للمتر المكعب، كما تتضمن زيادة سعر بنزين 80 مع تحسين كفاءته، ليصبح بنزين 85، ورفع سعره من 85 قرشا إلى 185 قرشا، ورفع سعر بنزين 92 من 185 إلى 285 قرشا، وذلك لأن زيادة سعر بنزين 92 فقط ستؤدى إلى خلل كبير وزيادة فى الطلب على بنزين 80، وربما تظهر سوق سوداء لبيعه، كما أنه من بين المقترحات زيادة سعر السولار من 110 قروش إلى 200 قرش، فى محاولة لتخفيف الضغط عليه، خاصة أنه يستحوذ على أكثر من 50% من مخصصات الدعم سنويا، وبقيمة تتجاوز 60 مليار جنيه سنويا. وأكد المصدر أن تطبيق الزيادات المقترحة من عدمه فى يد مجلس الوزراء.
وكشفت مصادر حكومية عن أنه سيتم البدء فى تحريك أسعار الكهرباء للفئات الاجتماعية الأعلى دخلا، دون المساس بالفقراء ومحدودى الدخل، بينما قال مصدر بوزارة المالية إن الحصيلة المتوقعة من قرار رفع سعر السولار تفوق الحصيلة المتوقعة من رفع سعر البنزين.

يقام أهم معرض
عالمي للتكنولوجيا البيئيه في الفترة ما بين 5 و 9 مايو 2014 و الذي سيكون
مجدداً مصدراً للإبداعات المصممه لمواجهة التحديات البيئيه بكافة المناطق حول
العالم، فهناك إحتمالات أعمال جديده كبيره مفتوحه في العديد من الأسواق المختلفه
عند التطرق
لموضوع إدارة النفايات فإن أوروبا ما زالت منقسمه إلي شرق و غرب، في وسط و شرق
أوروبا ما زالت هناك أسواق كبيره ناميه و سنستكشف إمكانياتها هنا خطوة خطوة، علي
سبيل المثال في منتصف العام الماضي سرت تعريفات جديده في مجال معالجة النفايات
في بولندا: أصبحت المدن و السلطات الآن قانوناً "الملاك" للنفايات التي تنتجها
مناطقهم و بذا صاروا أيضاً مسئولين عن التخلص منها، بمقتضي القواعد الجديده أصبح
أصحاب المنازل البولنديين ملزمين بفصل نفاياتهم، أيضاً سيتم إغلاق 300 علي الأقل
من بين نحو 600 مدفن نفايه بالبلد في الأعوام القادمه إما لأنها لا تتوافق مع
معايير الأتحاد الأوروبي أو لأنها وصلت لحدود إستيعابها، منحت إعادة الهيكلة هذه
دفعة لمحطات حرق النفايات و تكنولوجيا التدوير، تقيّم وكالة التنميه الإقتصاديه
الإلمانيه GTAI التجاره و الإستثمار
بسوق معالجة النفايات البولندي في 2013 بنحو 1,4 إلي 1,5 مليار يورو
أيضاً تُحدّث
كازاخستان - في وسط الكتله الأرضيه الأوروأسيويه- نظامها للتخلص من النفايات،
وفقاً لـGTAI في يناير 2014 إعتمدت حكومة
هذة الدولة و هي أكبر دولة ذات مساحه أرض مغلقه في العالم برنامجاً للإستثمار به
نحو 576 مليون يورو تضخ في هذا القطاع حتي 2020، الخطة أن تُدخل فصل النفايات علي
مراحل و لتحديث أسطولها لمركبات جمع النفايات و لبناء محطة معالجه نفايات جديده
يتزايد حول
العالم قبول حرق النفايات مع إنتاج الطاقه و بشكل خاص بالمناطق عالية الكثافة
السكانيه مثل أوروبا و الشرق الأوسط و جنوب آسيا، يتوقع الإستشاريون فورست و
سوليفان أن السوق العالمي لمحطات تحويل النفايات لطاقه سيرتفع لنحو 21 مليار
يورو بحلول عام 2016 (كان في 2012 أقل من 13 مليار يورو) أكثر هذه المناظير
جاذبية لهذا النمو يقول المحلل في منطقة آسيا- الهادي، هونج كونج مثال جيد:
وفقاً لمعلومات GTAI تعد حكومة هذه المنطقه الإداريه لإستثمار 2,9 مليار يورو في
معالجة النفايات بحلول 2020 و أدرجت في هذه الخطه مصنع حرق نفايات ضخم بسعة
3,000 طن يومياً
جاء بتقرير
مكتب الإحصائيات الفيدرالي الألماني أوائل هذا العام أنه في 2011 إستثمر المصنّعون
الألمان إجمالي 2,9 مليار يورو في حماية المياه السطحيه و الجوفيه علي سبيل
المثال في مصنع للمعادلة و النفايات، علي الرغم من أن السوق الألمانيه في قطاع
المياه أعتبرت متشبعه وفقاً لشراكة المياه الألمانيه GWP، لذا منذ 2008 حددت هذه
الشبكه من الشركات أسواق هامه بالخارج، أحد هذه الدول محل الإهتمام المتجدد
حالياً إيران، ذكر د/ شاهروز مهاجري
المدير الإداري لمعهد قائم ببرلين لإدارة الموارد و عضو مجلس GWP أنه " يواجه إقتصاد المياه الإيراني تحدي إمداد مياه شرب
أكثر و أكثر للمنازل المتزايده في الأعداد في مقابل موارد مياه متناقصه و ذات
جوده أقل مع فروق في التوزيع الإقليمي"
مع التخفيف و
الرفع المحتمل للعقوبات الدوليه عن إيران بحلول صيف هذا العام قد تنتج هناك فرصة
كبيرة لقطاع المياه الدولي، تخطط الحكومه الإيرانيه علي سبيل المثال لتحديث محطة
مياه الشرب بالبلد و لبناء مرافق تحلية إضافيه، و تركز أخري فيما يتعلق بالمياه
و إدارة مياه الصرف بإيران علي مد شبكات الصرف و محطات المعالجه بالمدن و بناء
منشأت جديده بالمناطق الريفيه، سيستثمر نحو إجمالي 25 مليون يورو في الأعوام
القادمه فقط في توصيل منازل أكثر بالمناطق الريفيه لشبكة الصرف البلديه – اليوم
فقط نحو 37 بالمئه من الممتلكات متصله و المخطط زيادتها لـ65 بالمئه بحلول 2025
تتحدث الحقائق
و الأرقام عن نفسها و تبرز بشكل جيد كيف أن هناك فرص في قطاع تكنولوجيا البيئه،
الظروف إذن ممتازه للعارضين بالمعرض لتقديم منتجاتهم و إبداعاتهم و فوق ذلك جميع
الحلول لها و لأسواق أخري في الفتره بين 5 و 9 مايو 2014 بميونيخ

? Renewable energies are talking
Big power companies , which produced their electricity mainly from atomic and coal power plants,initiated a major advertising campaign in Germany newspapers in the mid-1990s with loud claim: you do not have to e an enemy of the renewable energies, when you call upon the truth, and the truth is that more than 4% of electricity from renewable energies in Germany is technologically impossible.
Today, in 2013 , however , renewable energies cover already 22.9% of German electricity supply, of which the wind provides a lion،s share , followed by the biomass, solar energy, and traditional hydro-power.
