The need for understanding the occurrence mechanism of the phenomenon and the prevention measures and techniques of these “mining earthquakes”. Blasting operation seismology in hard rock quarries should approach the issues of seismic wave’s generation and physical-mathematical modeling of the blasting process. In order to solve the various related theoretical and practical issues, the development of adequate design norms and techniques are required ( taking into consideration the blasting process specific parameters) together with of employing the needed explosive amount to provide a minimal knowledge regarding seismic wave propagation. 1. INTRODUCTION The continuously increasing industrial and economical growing rate involves, among others, a significant growth in explosive use in mine or quarry blasting operations, in excavation works for civil engineering and infrastructure projects, in tunneling and other kind of workings. As a direct consequence, the industrial blasting operations are representing a basic problem for researchers and professionals in the field, illustrated by a large number of technical and scientific work carried out worldwide. Following the growing rate of explosives use in blasting operations in opencast mining and mainly the increasing explosive loads are raising major implications basically

  • Energy Policies of IEA Countries Germany
    Please note that this PDF is subject to specific restrictions that limit its use and distribution. The terms and conditions are available online at http://www.iea.org/ termsandconditionsuseandcopyright/ Energy Policies of IEA Countries Germany 2013 Review 2013 OECD/IEA, © Energy Policies of IEA Countries Germany Since the IEA last reviewed Germany’s energy policies in 2007, the country has taken two fundamental policy decisions that will guide its energy policy in coming decades. In September 2010, the federal government adopted the Energy Concept, a comprehensive new strategy for a long-term integrated energy pathway to 2050. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011, Germany decided to accelerate the phase-out of nuclear power by 2022 starting with the immediate closure of the eight oldest plants. This decision resulted in the adoption of a suite of new policy measures and determined renewable energy as the cornerstone of future energy supply, a set of policy instruments commonly known as the Energiewende. In order to achieve the ambitious energy transformation set out in the Energiewende, by 2030 half of all electricity supply will come from renewable energy sources; Germany must continue to develop cost-effective market-based approaches which will support the forecasted growth of variable renewable generation. Furthermore, the costs and benefits need to be allocated in a fair and transparent way among all market participants, especially households. In the future, renewable energy capacity must expand in parallel with the timely development of the transmission and distribution networks. In addition, a stable regulatory system is necessary to ensure long-term finance to network operators.

  • Countermotion Umbrella Association
    RWE Aktiengesellschaft Essen Countermotions by the German Umbrella Association of Critical Shareholders in respect of the Annual General Meeting of RWE AG on 23 April 2015 “Countermotion in respect of Item 2 on the Agenda: Appropriation of distributable profit The distributable profit of RWE Aktiengesellschaft for fiscal 2014 should be appropriated as follows: payment of a dividend of EUR 0.30 per dividend- bearing share = EUR 184,423,649.70. Rationale: The Umbrella Association of Critical Shareholders recommends that the dividend of 1 euro proposed by the RWE Executive Board be reduced to 0.30 euros per dividend-bearing share. The difference of EUR 430,321,849.30 should be invested in the Renewables Division (RWE Innogy). In sum, the Umbrella Association proposes that the RWE Innogy Division be strengthened considerably instead of “investing up to 1 billion euros from 2015 to 2017 in the Renewables Division,” as planned by the RWE Executive Board. It is particularly sensible to expand the “green partnership for RE,” the Green GECCO GmbH & Co. KG joint venture of RWE Innogy with 29 municipal utilities, through forward-looking investments. RWE plans to spend a total of between 2.5 and 3 billion in capital in 2015 and about 2 billion from 2016 onwards. In our opinion, capital expenditure on renewable energy should be at least tripled, namely to about 1 billion a year. This would back the announcements of the Executive Board, according to which it intends to focus on the three growth areas, i.e. 1. renewable energy, 2. network business and 3. sales, by actions.
