    One of the new rail freight wagons for Lynemouth Power Station equipped with Rotork automated pneumatic control systems. Jun 21, 2018 09:00 BST Rotork completes automation contract to assist decarbonisation at Lynemouth Power Station Rotork has completed a contract to supply fully automated pneumatic control systems on high capacity biomass rail freight wagons supporting the decarbonisation project at Lynemouth Power Station in Northumberland. Rail freight manufacturer Astra Rail/Greenbrier Europe and leasing company Nacco have supplied GB Rail freight with 50 hopper wagons to support the biomass haulage contract awarded by Lynemouth Power Ltd. Each with a payload of 70tonnes, these auto-loading and discharging wagons run in two rakes (coupled groups) of 24 between the Port of Tyne and Lynemouth Power Station, delivering 37,000 tonnes of biomass per week. The Rotork design for auto-loading and discharging enables all controls, hand valves and visual indicators to be located in one place, providing safe and convenient access. Top and bottom hopper doors are operated by a magnetic sensor valve from a line side magnet. The innovative design allows any wagon in the rake to be the arming wagon. The fully automated control system enables quicker loading and unloading, requiring only supervision without manual intervention during operation. The proven design also allows for wagons to be separated and used in other rakes without any further configuration. Lynemouth Power Station has generated electricity since 1972. The plant was originally built and operated by Alcan with the purpose of providing safe and secure energy for the production of aluminium at the adjacent Lynemouth Smelter.

    Rutter Carroll RYDER to Maintain Consistency of Output Over 60 Years of Practice Is a Tough Call

    RYDER Rutter Carroll RYDER_ To maintain consistency of output over 60 years of practice is a tough call. We have PREFACE never tried to change; we have simply tried to improve the quality of our surroundings, and in doing so, the quality of people’s lives. PETER Looking back there is a remarkable consistency of approach, and in many ways this interests us more than the product. After all, the product is a product of the approach, BUCHAN it kind of looks after itself. The ‘what’ of ‘what we do’ is about simplicity, usefulness, elegance. To continue to improve this we have become increasingly obsessed with the ‘how’ of our architecture. The ‘how’ is about developing the best people and creating organisations that allow them to grow and contribute, to achieve what we collectively define as excellence. It has been quite a journey, and it is only in hindsight that one begins to read the patterns. Most of the time we are so committed to dealing with the present and considering the future that there is a little opportunity, or indeed desire, to reflect on the past. The connections to the two postwar pioneers, Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates, seem tenuous and potent in equal measure. In turn, their own connections to the legacy of Berthold Lubetkin and Le Corbusier seem now equally tenuous yet potent. There is something powerful in the collective memory and culture of an organisation; sometimes carried forward by individuals, often at times by a surge of a whole group. It shapes what we do. This is why we have been so taken up with the ‘how’, and we have striven to build a collective, a shared culture and vision that runs through the whole organisation, wherever its people are located.

We are now reaching the most crucial stage in the process. Soon we will be sending the Core Strategy to the Government and they will appoint an inspector to decide whether it is a sound plan. But before that, you have one final chance to shape what is in the document. Since 2012, about 5,000 people have taken the opportunity to comment on stages of the Core Strategy and 4,500 have attended drop-in sessions, meetings or workshops.

Carbon Pricing and Power Sector Decarbonisation: Evidence from the UK Marion Leroutier∗ June 21, 2021 Abstract Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation is crucial to tackle climate change. Yet, empirically little is known on the effectiveness of economic instru- ments in the power sector. This paper examines the impact of the UK Carbon Price Support (CPS), a carbon tax implemented in the UK power sector in 2013. Compared to a synthetic control unit built from other European countries, emissions from the UK power sector declined by 26 percent on an average year between 2013 and 2017. Bounds on the effects of potential UK confounding policies and several placebo tests suggest that the carbon tax caused at least 80% of this decrease.

    Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) May 2019

    Northumberland Local Plan Publication Draft Plan Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) May 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Northumberland Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) has been prepared in support of the Northumberland Local Plan. It identifies the likely infrastructure requirements, associated with the Local Plan over the plan period, up to 2036. The IDP is the output of long standing engagement with infrastructure providers to identify current infrastructure capacity, and to determine the likely future infrastructure requirements, associated with sustainable growth in Northumberland. Focussing on strategic infrastructure requirements, the IDP seeks to identify completed, committed, and planned investment across physical, social and green infrastructure types. It is intended to be a key mechanism by which to coordinate the investment and delivery plans of infrastructure providers to best effect. Where possible the IDP identifies where funding for infrastructure will come from. It also identifies where there are funding gaps. The collective funding gap could underpin the potential introduction of a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in Northumberland. There are no infrastructure requirements which are ‘critical’ to the delivery of the Northumberland Local Plan. However, there are some existing pressures on infrastructure and anticipated future pressures as a result of growth, development, demographic changes and other factors. Notably, necessary infrastructure requirements principally relate to: - mitigation or improvement works for a limited number of junctions on the road network; - the need for additional healthcare services to cater for a growing population; - a limited number of areas where additional school provision is required; - timely provision of works to ensure adequate waste water treatment capacity. Plans, programmes and projects have been identified to address these infrastructure requirements, and a range of other requirements which will help ensure the sustainability of Northumberland’s existing and new communities.

Bear in mind that there is likely to be material that spans a number of categories (particularly, for example, general material relating to Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East), and checking all potentially relevant sections is advisable. This guide is indicative, rather than comprehensive, and the intention was to give details of significant items of interest.
