Discover boating industry innovations at METSTRADE 2024: Remoran Oy’s aim is to make green energy generation accessible to all sailors and make it so convenient and comfortable that it can be used at all times. Remoran Oy is participating in this year’s Metstrade show with the improved Remoran Wave 3 hydrogenerator, as well as newly launched Easy Lift mounting system. The new Remoran Wave 3-hydrogenerator based on valuable customer feedback and experiences. Special attention is given to material choices and solutions that ensure the product’s corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in marine conditions. The new EasyLift Mounting System is designed specifically to enhance the use of Remoran Wave 3 -hydrogenerators. EasyLift improves safety by eliminating the need to reach over the edge of the boat. The hydrogenerator can now be easily and safely raised and lowered directly from the deck. Weed can often be removed simply by adjusting the angle, and all operations can be done from the deck without reaching down to the device’s handles. The solution is especially good for classic boats without swimming platforms, where accessing the hydrogenerator for lifting or angle adjustment while sailing can be risky and challenging.

🦇 MEET THE BATS PARTNERS! 👋 Continuing our series of introductions to the BATS - Baltic Sea region Active mobiliTy Solutions project partners, today we meet Kalundborg Kommune! 🇩🇰 Kalundborg is an active port city located on the west coast of Zealand, Denmark, by the Great Belt. ♻ Kalundborg is known as a dynamic industrial city that has worked purposefully with local businesses for 50 years to promote sustainability and efficient resource utilisation. This is achieved through the collaboration known as Kalundborg Symbiosis, which has 17 members, including industries, utility companies, and the Kalundborg Municipality. (https://lnkd.in/efBFC_ib) 🚲 The city is currently experiencing explosive growth in both industry and educational institutions. Congestion on the road network in and around Kalundborg is severe, and efforts are being made to alleviate this pressure. One focus area is to encourage commuters from the surrounding area to switch from using cars to cycling to work—and importantly, to do so year-round. To achieve success, better infrastructure and facilities for cyclists must be created, and there must also be efforts to change attitudes towards cycling. 🛣 In the BATS project, Kalundborg Kommune will ask students and employees of local businesses about their transportation habits, and from this, gather inspiration for municipal planning and conduct targeted campaigns. 🤝 Through BATS, the municipality will collaborate with the city’s major businesses via the Kalundborg Symbiosis, aiming to reduce the congestion issues we face and promote the health of employees and students. 🚴‍♀️ Many students and employees coming to Kalundborg come from countries where cycling is not as widespread as in Denmark. In BATS, we support events that teach new residents to navigate Kalundborg by bike and become comfortable with it. 🏙 The experiences gained through participation in BATS inspire planners working on the future of cycling infrastructure in Kalundborg. In the initial phase of planning, which takes place while BATS is an active project, we are particularly focusing on a cycling corridor that connects Kalundborg City from west to east, linking the city center with the new campus area and businesses in the eastern part of the city. 😄 We are excited to see the impacts of the BATS project in Kalundborg and look forward to working together in the coming years! #MadeWithInterreg #ActiveMobility #YRAM Johan Ib Hansen

Steel Producer Receives Billion Grant for Green Transformation in Northern Sweden The Swedish steel producer SSAB has been granted SEK 1.45 billion for the green transformation of its Luleå operations. The steel plant in the Northern Swedish city currently accounts for Sweden's largest carbon emission.  The SSAB steel plant in Luleå, Northern Sweden, has been granted SEK 1.45 billion by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth in the framework of the EU Just Transition Fund and state co-funding. The grant is directed toward the transformation to fossil-free production of the company's operations in Luleå, Northern Sweden. ”The funding from the EU and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth enables us to maintain a high pace in the transition to fossil-free steel production. It is a clear signal from both the EU and Sweden about the importance of our transformation," says Johnny Sjöström, President and CEO at SSAB. "It will strengthen not only our competitiveness but the competitiveness of Sweden as a whole and means that we can continue to deliver the steel our customers demand," he adds. From blast furnace to fossil-free mini-mill SSAB's steel plant in Luleå, located on the Northern Swedish west coast, is considered Sweden's biggest carbon polluter.  The company plans to phase out the current coal and blast furnace production system in favor of a new fossil-free mini-mill with electric arc furnaces and rolling complexes. The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth writes that the changes are expected to reduce the SSAB plant in Luleå's CO2 emissions by 90 percent. In other words, this will contribute to reducing Sweden’s CO2 emissions by 7 percent, in addition to the 3 percent from the conversion of SSAB’s steel plant in Oxelösund. According to the company, the startup of the new mill in Luleå is planned for the end of 2028 with full capacity in 2029, while the startup of the new electric arc furnace in Oxelösund is expected toward the end of 2026. The investments are mainly funded with SSAB’s own cash flow. "it is important to Norrbotten and to Sweden that the steel industry now accelerates the green shift while also maintaining competitiveness. It is also important in order to reach Sweden's climate goals," says Elisabeth Backteman, Director General of the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. Together with the mining company LKAB and the energy company Vattenfall, SSAB is currently developing the Hybrit project, which bases itself on fossil-free production in the entire value chain from iron ore to steel. According to SSAB, the new factory will be supplied with a mixture of fossil-free sponge iron from the coming Hybrit facility in Gällivare and recycled scrap metal. https://lnkd.in/d7qjPdi9
