DISCLAIMER 6 Twentyfour7. 2.16 editorial The quest for a better life HOW ARE INNOVATIONS BORN? Out of different circumstances, I’d be inclined to say. Some out of necessity, some through frustration, some just out of pure creative joy. And, at times, even accidentally. Regardless the origin, innovation takes the world forward every day. In the end, it’s a quest for a better life that we’re pursuing through our innovative efforts. The pace at which we come up with new ideas seems to get faster with every passing day. One of the hottest buzzwords around innovation is ‘disruption’ – a revolutionary product, service or business model that turns the markets upside down. This puts us all under pressure. We are constantly looking for the next thing, whether it’s a wearable gadget on our body, a nifty mobile app or revo- lutionary industrial design. As our Willie Wågen says in his column (page 75), at Wärtsilä we have always been innovators. But today we need to be faster than ever in applying new ways to doing things in order to shape our markets. Speed and agility are inherent in the startup world, so we turned to this crowd to find some inspiring collabora- tors. We launched the Wärtsilä Marine Mastermind competition with the aim to find suitable partners to inspire us and thus to take our digitalisation further. In these digital and disruptive times, it’s easy to forget that usually innova- tion is born only after a great deal of hard work. At Wärtsilä, the lifespan of our products can be up to 50 years. So we invest a great deal of time in R&D to further increase their lifecycle performance. But what if we could speed things up a bit? We asked ourselves this question and organised Wärtsilä’s first Hack- athon event. A great deal of pizza was consumed during the 48-hour long stint, but it was well worth it. Many new ideas were born, and the seed of a startup mentality was planted in our minds. Ship design has occupied man’s mind as long as we’ve travelled by sea. And ] it’s still very much on ours. We’ve recently created six new design concepts to challenge conventions with truly efficient and green solutions. In addition to our future-oriented approach, Wärtsilä aims to bring in practical solutions that are disruptive in our world. Recently, we have introduced two such projects in Norway. One is an electric ferry and the other a biogas plant that uses paper mill slurry and fishery waste as fuel. Not to mention our new solar hybrid energy TWENTYFOUR7. solutions – truly a first of its kind. [ Despite our lives getting better with innovations, they are not always wel- comed with open arms. Such was the case with the new Tokyo fish market, powered by Wärtsilä. The new market will be much more energy-efficient and will use locally produced clean energy. Still, Tokyoites will miss their former fish market. Such is the nature of innovation: to give way to something new, you may need to say goodbye to something old and dear. But more often than not, things tend to get better with new innovations. That’s why mankind is so keen on the next thing. As are we at Wärtsilä. I hope you enjoy our stories!

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • New Waste Management Capacity Permitted in the North East Since the Urban Mines Baseline
    New Waste Management Capacity permitted in the North East since the Urban Mines Baseline Background In accordance with the Duty to Cooperate, and as part of work on our joint evidence base, the Waste Planning Authorities (WPAs) in the North East of England1 commissioned a study ‘Model of Waste Arisings and Waste Management Capacity for the North East of England Waste Planning Authorities’ (Urban Mines, July 2012) to provide forecasts of waste arisings for commercial and industrial waste and hazardous waste to 2030 using the data from the North East of England Commercial and Industrial Waste Survey 2010 and the most up-to-date hazardous waste arisings information. The Urban Mines study contains: detailed forecast arisings; capacity data; analysis and conclusions on commercial and industrial waste; analysis and conclusions on hazardous waste; details on municipal waste as so many key facilities in the North East process waste from both municipal and commercial and industrial sources; commentary on arisings of agricultural, construction and demolition and Low Level Radioactive wastes. The study carried out a capacity gap analysis by comparing forecast arisings with data on available and future capacity. This was done on a regional and sub-regional (WPA) basis. By aggregating arisings estimates for all the WPAs in North East England, the report found that total arisings amount to some 3.6 million tonnes per year. These comprise 1.48 million tonnes from municipal sources (2011 estimates) and 2.15 million from commercial and industrial sources (2011 estimates). Applying the growth methodologies explained in the report, it was estimated that these total waste arisings for North East England are anticipated to remain fairly constant over the forecast period to 2030.

This proved 376.5 m of Fell Sandstone Formation below 1400 m, much of which resembled braided river deposits found at outcrop, although some lower portions were reddened and yielded grains of aeolian affinity. Downhole logging after attainment of thermal equilibrium proved a temperature of 73°C at 1740 m, and allowed estimation of heat flow at about 88 mW m−2.

The FEIS was prepared under the direction of the FERC and OIR staffs to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Rhode Island Energy Facility siting Act. The staff has determined that approval of the proposed project , with appropriate mitigating measures including receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, would have limited adverse environmental impact. The FEIS evaluates alternatives to the proposals. The proposed action involves construction and operation of a new natural gas-fired , combined-cycle power plant which would be located on a 40.6-acre parcel in the town of Burrillville, Rhode Island .
