At the same time, these countries will lead to the accelerated development and are raising their pollution-control standards implementation of many more similar to meet those of the EU. This requires projects. The project sponsors include closing or modernizing older power established utilities, CHP plant operators, generation facilities, switching from fossil local municipalities, energy associations and fuels to biomass, or installing cleaner and recently established enterprises dedicated to more efficient power systems that help developing and implementing “green protect the environment by minimizing air energy” projects. and water pollution, and the need for landfills.

    Alstom update December 3, 2015 CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This document contains "forward-looking statements" – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," or "target." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, including expected cash and non-cash charges associated with this plan; expected income; earnings per share; revenues; organic growth; margins; cost structure; restructuring charges; cash flows; return on capital; capital expenditures, capital allocation or capital structure; dividends; and the split between Industrial and GE Capital earnings. For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: obtaining (or the timing of obtaining) any required regulatory reviews or approvals or any other consents or approvals associated with our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses; our ability to complete incremental asset sales as part of that plan in a timely manner (or at all) and at the prices we have assumed; changes in law, economic and financial conditions,

  • Geothermal Development in Hungary Country Update Report 2000–2002
    GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT IN HUNGARY COUNTRY UPDATE REPORT 2000–2002 Miklós Árpási Hungarian Geothermal Association Lupény u. 3/B. H-1026, Budapest, Hungary ABSTRACT Information is provided on the status of the geothermal energy utilization – direct use – in Hungary with emphasis on developments between 2000–2002. Level of utilization of geothermal energy in the World has been increased in this period. Geothermal energy was the leading producer with 70% of the total electricity production of the renewables energy sources (wind. solar, geothermal and tidal) followed by wind energy with 28% of the electricity production. The current cost in USD¢/kWh of direct heat use from biomass is 1–5, geothermal 0,5–5 and solar heating 3–20. The parameters of direct use in Hungary were decreased in this period and the proportion of geothermal energy utilization in the energy balance of Hungary, despite the significance proven dynamic reserves (with reinjection) of 380 Mm3/a with heat content of 63,5 PJ/a at ∆T = 40 oC is remained very low (0,25%). The utilization of the geothermal energy only for direct use, despite of the possibility of production of geothermal fluids with surface temperature higher than 100oC, no electricity has been generated. Geothermal energy utilization for direct use is estimated to 324,5 MWt of geothermal capacity and to currently supply 2804 TJ/a of utilized heat energy through direct application in Hungary, by December 31, 2002. Geothermal heat pumps represent about 4,0 MWt of installed capacity. The quantity of produced thermal water for direct use in year 2002 was approximately 15.0 million cu.m.

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Surpassing the era of disengaged acceptance: The future of public discourse on nuclear energy Gabor Sarlos RMIT UNIVERSITY, VIETNAM Gabor Sarlos, Mariann Fekete UNIVERSITY OF SZEGED, HUNGARY DOI: 10.19195/1899-5101.11.1(20).5 ABSTRACT: Both the United Kingdom and Hungary run ambitious nuclear power plans to keep nuclear power as an important element of their energy mixes. Th e objective of the analysis is to identify if there is the intent and the possibility for a diff erent form of public engagement in shaping the nuclear future. Th e study builds on the comparative analysis of the cases of Hungary and the United Kingdom. Th e ‘communication packages’ theory serves as reference of comparison. Th e study fi nds that changing social value sets and communication technology developments create challenges to governments in securing support for the nuclear agenda. Th is challenge creates an opportunity for members of the public with ‘reluctant acceptance’ of the nuclear agenda. Building on global uncertainty, challenges to the prevailing political and economic status quo, together with the grow- ing infl uence of social media might assist the public to become vocal in their opinions about nucle- ar energy. KEYWORDS: nuclear discourse, disengagement, social values, communication package. INTRODUCTION Th e current study aims to provide an insight and comparison into the public percep- tion of nuclear energy of the UK and of Hungary. It studies the relevance of the concept of ‘public sphere’ and of ‘communication packages’ in the context of current, European discourse. A critical analysis of relevant theories and of contemporary literature sets the context of the study.
