瑞典呼吁欧盟同意各国通过税收鼓励使用生物能源

北欧绿色邮报报道(记者陈雪霏)--瑞典国际生物能协会Svebio会长,CEO古斯塔夫梅林16日呼吁欧盟统一支持各国通过税收鼓励使用生物能源。

他说,瑞典前几天实行了通过税收调节鼓励使用生物能的政策效果很好。他是在接受北欧绿色邮报记者采访时说这番话的。

他说,为期两天的高级生物燃料大会在飞机场召开本身就是想向大家展示,生物能的质量很好,飞机上都可以使用混合能源了。本次大会主要讨论上到飞机,下到陆地和海上轮船等交通工具如何实现2030年实现交通0排放,或者说不使用任何化石燃料的远景目标做贡献。

梅林说,瑞典目前在交通方面已经实现了12%的生物能,这是过去五年来取得的成绩。

会上,英国,美国,芬兰和瑞典,以及欧盟的代表都介绍了各自的经验和研究成果。

瑞典正在试验电气化公路

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--瑞典NCC道路建设公司旗下的电气化公路公司(Elways)目前正在进行电气化公路充电试验。

DSC_2345    DSC_2339 Elways负责人介绍说,此前人们有很多设想,最有名的就是在空中建立轨道让后让轿车在6米高的轨道上行走。计算下来,成本太高。而他所发明的公路上的微型双轨主要是用来充电的。

DSC_2354这位负责人说,对于电动车来说最大的问题是电池的电力不足。充一次电只能跑最多不到100 公里。如果是大卡车,需要的电池更多,更重。很不方便。那么他发明的电动轨道是两个一厘米宽的两个槽,电动车可以通过走这个轨道的过程来充电。这样,跑上一段时间,就可以把电充满了。

这位负责人说,他们设想电动轨道要建在高速公路上,这样会更安全。针对冬季的下雪,夏天的下雨问题,他们一年四季已经试验3年了,在任何天气情况下都试验过了,没有问题。目前他们只建了150米长的充电轨道。

这样的建筑成本不及空中轨道的五分之一或六分之一。因此,容易让人接受。根据目前的进口能源花费,两年就能收回成本。同时,他们在和瑞典的邮政部门合作,希望将来邮政用车都用这种充电轨道。

与其说是电气化公路,其实也可以说是一个可以在上面运行的充电桩。发明人说,有了这样的轨道,其实汽车改造是很简单的事情。

DSC_2350预计,再有两三年,这个试验就会有结果是否上马。目前,这是瑞典有关方面认为实现可持续交通的一个可行性项目,因此,一直在给予资助进行试验。参与的有11家公司,企业,皇家科技学院,瑞典道路交通管理局,阿兰达机场和斯德哥尔摩市。

记者是在参加瑞典生物能源协会组织的高级生物能源大会期间进行上述采访的。

另外,此前,记者还走访了一个生产铺路用的沥青混凝土材料。他们说,他们的生产过程非常节能,因为他们利用回收的原料来生产,也生产低温沥青,只有18度。

 

Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award 2015 goes to director Stephen Frears

Stockholm, Sept. 16(Greenpost)– 2015 Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award will go to director Stephen Frears.

During the premiere of his latest film The Program, Frears will visits Stockholm International Film Festival to receive the Bronze Horse.

Justification:  British director Stephen Frears never shies away from taking on people’s dark and tragic sides, doing so with warmth, passion and a sense of humor.

This year’s receiver of the Lifetime Achievement Award is a filmmaker who is not afraid to take a stand for those who exist at the margins of society. His filmmaking ranges from political films with social pathos to grand epics with the biggest stars. Regardless of what form the story takes, Stephen Frears shows us that he is a director with a genuine curiosity for people’s life stories.

Stephen Frears has since his breakthrough with My Beautiful Laundrette (1984) mesmerized the audience with a series of acclaimed films. The director has been nominated for two Oscars with The Grifters (1990) and The Queen (2006), and awarded with the Silver Berlin Bear for The Hi-Lo Country (1998) at the Berlin International Film Festival. His latest film Philomena (2013) was shown during the Stockholm International Film Festival two years ago and was praised by both audiences and critics.

In the exhilarating thriller The Program (2015), Frears narrates the dramatic story of Lace Armstrong. The undefeated Tour de France champion was discovered to be involved in the most sophisticated doping program in the history of cycling. Starring Ben Foster as Armstrong and Chris O’Dowd as David Walsh, the journalist who devoted years to reveal the scandalous fraud, The Program is a gripping story with a deeply psychological portrait of its main characters.

Cast: Ben Foster, Lee Pace, Dustin Hoffman, Chris O ‘Dowd, Elaine Cassidy, Jesse Plemons, Laura Donnelly.
The Program has premiere in Swedish cinema December 4. Distributor: AB Svensk Filmindustri.

The Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award is presented annually to honor and acknowledge a longstanding career and an outstanding achievement in cinema. The prestigious award, in the shape of a 7,3kg (16 lb) Bronze Horse is the heaviest film award in the world. It is also a paraphrase on a national design icon, the Swedish Dala horse, and was created by artist Fredrik Swärd. The prize has previously been awarded to directors such as Jean-Luc Godard, Quentin Tarantino, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Oliver Stone and Mike Leigh.
