The Eiffel Tower "turn off the lights" in advance, the cave becomes the cold storage ... Under the crisis, Europe "fights"

In the context of soaring energy prices, European governments and enterprises in Europe have "enlightened".

In Italy, a fruit and vegetable group transformed a cave of an abandoned quarry field a few years ago into an underground cold storage, and used the cave cold storage to refrigerate the apple. Compared with ordinary refrigerated rooms, this approach can save 32%of electricity.

In France, the Paris Government has implemented a plan to shorten the night lighting of attractions from the 23rd local time, including the Paris Municipal Government, the district governments, and 14 museums to close night lighting at 22:00 on the 23rd. The Eiffel Tower closed at night at 23:45. The night lighting time of the above landscape was 1 am.

In the UK, in order to strengthen energy security, the British Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industry Strategy issued an announcement on the 22nd that the British government officially lifted shale gas production ban on the same day and confirmed that it supports a new round of oil and natural gas permits.

In Germany, on the 21st local time, the German government and Uniper Energy Group reached an agreement to buy a huge funding to purchase the group's shares and make it nationalized.

Robert Habeck, Vice Prime Minister of Germany and Minister of Economic and Climate Protection, said on the 22nd that because the energy cost is higher than in the past, Germany's economic loss this year will be close to 60 billion euros, and the loss of next year may be close to 100 billion euros.

Energy Crisis Current

Agricultural production of many European countries is impacted

In European countries such as Italy and France, the energy crisis is impacting agricultural production. For energy saving, an Italian fruit and vegetable group adopted a unique way, that is, using the cave cold storage to refrigerate apples.

Save energy cost Italian cave cold storage used to store apples

In a small town in the province of Terrenni in northern Italy, workers are driving a forklift to store a box of apples in a local cave cold storage.

In the context of soaring energy prices, high -energy cold storage storage means huge cost pressure. A fruit and vegetable group in Italy transformed the cave of this abandoned quarry field a few years ago into an underground cold storage, and now it highlights the energy -saving advantage.

Morro Elleyk, the agricultural planting manager of Fruit and Vegetable Group: In terms of energy use, according to a test last year, compared with the ordinary refrigerator, it can save 32%of electricity in this cave cold storage. This is very important.

This cave cold storage is located about 300 meters underground and has 34 refrigerated areas inside. Compared with the ordinary refrigerated room on the ground, the temperature inside the cave itself is low. At the same time, the refrigerated area in the cave mainly relies on natural rocks to heat up, which greatly saves energy consumption. Before the cave cold storage is put into use, after cooling the 5-7-meter-thick rock layer with air-conditioning, the refrigerated area can maintain 1 degree Celsius temperature.

The Apple harvest season of Terrenino has begun. About 30,000 tons of apples are currently stored in the cave cold storage. As the picking work is carried out, it is expected that it will increase to 40,000 tons in the near future.

Energy prices soar up in French buds and chrysanthemum grids.

The rise in energy prices has led to the surge in the planting costs of some fruits and vegetables. Lefifave, a bud ball -chrysanthemum grower in Buwen Town, northern France, has a headache for soaring energy bills.

Emmanurlefffer, a bud ball chrysanthemum grower: If the price continues to rise, our energy cost will be tens of times, and our production cannot afford such high energy bills.

In autumn, the farmers harvested chrysanthemum roots from the field, and then stored them in the cold storage. When needed, they thawed the chrysanthemum root and moved to the controlled room for planting, so as to achieve annual production.

However, in the face of the skyrocketing electricity price, Lepfver fell into a dilemma.

Emmanur Lepfffer, a buds of chrysanthemums: The temperature must be constant. To store a good roots, it is impossible to stop cooling. In terms of energy consumption, we have no other solutions.

Lepfifer said that not only the rise in electricity prices made them overwhelmed. Other production demand has also been affected by the soaring energy prices. For example, the price of packaging materials has risen by 60%in the past two years.

There are also many buds of chrysanthemum planting farmers facing a similar dilemma to Lepfifre. The French Chrysanthemum Production Association stated that the production of chrysanthemums provided a large number of jobs in France, especially in northern France; if some growers decide to stop production, it will shock to the employment of the industry.

Eiffel Tower,

"Turn off the lights" in advance! What happened?

The Paris Government of France will implement the plan to shorten the night lighting of attractions from local time on the 23rd to deal with the energy crisis. At that time, the relevant attractions of the Paris Government, including the Paris government, the district governments, and 14 museums, will turn off the night lighting at 22:00 on the 23rd. The Eiffel Tower will close at night at 23:45. The night lighting time of the above landscape was 1 am.

According to the news of the French Champs Elysee Street Committee, the committee requested the shops on the Champs Elysées to close the night window and advertising screen lighting at 22 to 7 am the next day to save energy. This measure will be fully implemented around October 15.

Une urging the public to use reasonable electricity

French television will broadcast "electric map"

State -owned media French television said on the 23rd that the "power map" will be played in real time on some channels, showing the power consumption of the country and areas that may be disconnected due to excessive power consumption.

French television station signed an agreement with major domestic power operators to play real -time "power maps" on its channel. In areas where electricity is tight, it will be marked with red, reminding the public to reduce electricity or peaks. French TV CEO Delphina Elnot told Agence France -Presse reporters: "People may have to use washing machines at 22 without 19:00."

Nearly 80 % of France's electricity came from nuclear energy. Due to the problem of stress corrosion of nuclear reactors, half of the crew stopped production and treated, and the supply of natural gas from Russia was reduced. This summer, high temperature droughts reduced the production of hydropower.

On the issue of power generation, French President Emmanel Macron had previously focused on continuing to strengthen the development of nuclear power. However, he emphasized on the 22nd that France should take renewable energy seriously, saying that it will simplify the procedures and speed up the startup energy project.

Britain cancels the technical ban of hydraulic fracturing

Support a new round of oil and gas permit

Xinhua News Agency, London, September 22. The Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industry Strategy issued an announcement on the 22nd that in order to strengthen Britain's energy security, the British government officially lifted shale gas production ban on the same day and confirmed that it supports a new round of oil and natural gas permits. Essence This means that the UK's hydraulic fracture technology ban has been canceled since November 2019.

The announcement said that the British government is taking specific measures to increase local energy supply, reduce dependence on imported energy, and explore the "all possible solutions" that improve domestic energy security. To this end, it is necessary to "take all means" to increase British oil and natural gas output, including issuing new oil and gas permits and shale gas mining.

According to this announcement, a new round of oil and gas permission is expected to be launched by the Beihai Transitional Administration in early October this year. It is expected that more than 100 new licenses will be issued, allowing developers to find commercial feasible oil and oil within the license scope Natural gas resources, but activities such as drilling and infrastructure construction still need to be approved by the regulatory authorities. The announcement also said that in the case of obtaining local support, the British government will consider approving the application for hydraulic fracture operation permit in the future.

Internationally mining shale gas and shale oil mainly use hydraulic fracture technology. Britain issued a hydraulic fracture technology ban in November 2019. At that time, an analysis report believed that the current technology could not accurately predict earthquake risks related to hydraulic fracture operations.

The latest decisions of the British government have caused a lot of controversy. Dr. Ajay Gambir, a senior researcher at the Institute of Grand, Grand, said that the suspension of hydraulic fracture technology in the face of crisis in the climate is that "it looks particularly inconsistent, and the carbon budget (that is, the" Paris Agreement "The upper limit of the temperature control target allows emitted carbon dioxide), we have almost nothing left, so there is no more space for new fossil fuel sources."

Gambir said the decision was inconsistent with the climate goals of the British government and other countries, and did not take into account the restrictions that were not popular in the UK, as well as potential earthquake risks and local environmental impacts.

German government signing agreement

State the country's energy giants

On the 21st local time, the German government and Uniper Energy Group reached an agreement to buy a huge funding to purchase the group's shares and make it nationalized. This agreement has also further expanded the Uniper rescue program announced by the federal government in July.

According to the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, the German government will purchase 78%of the UNIPER shares held from Finland Energy Group Fortum at a price of 1.70 euros per share, and the total acquisition will reach 480 million euros. As a result, the federal government will hold a 99%shares of Uniper. In addition, the federal government also plans to increase its capital of 8 billion euros at UNIPER, including 4 billion euros of shareholders 'loans and 4 billion euros' guarantee amount.

Uniper Energy Group provides natural gas for more than 100 municipal public institutions and large companies, and the number of natural gas provided by it accounts for about half of German natural gas consumption. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Uniper had to buy natural gas at a expensive price in the spot market in order to fulfill the supply contract. The group's latest report states that the group's daily losses have exceeded 100 million euros.

It is reported that the group will hold a temporary shareholders' meeting in the fourth quarter to make a vote decision. It is expected that the final transaction will be completed by the end of this year.

Energy is too expensive

Germany will lose nearly 60 billion euros this year

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 23rd, German Vice Premier and Minister of Economic and Climate Protection, Robert Habeck, said on the 22nd that due to the high energy cost than in the past, German economic losses this year will be close to 60 billion euros, and the loss next year may be close to 100 billion euros. Essence

According to Germany, Habeck said at a meeting organized by the German Industry Federation that Germany's economic loss next year is equivalent to 2%of the GDP, which is large because of buying natural gas from channels outside Russia. Essence

Habeck said, "There are no money in all walks of life in Germany ... This is the current macroeconomic situation in Germany." This crisis is due to the loss of "energy that originally thought of safety" in Germany, and the rise in energy prices damaged the investment in the German industry and commerce community. ability.

Since the upgrade of the Ukraine crisis, the European Union and the United States have imposed multiple rounds of sanctions against Russia, but the anti -bulling effect of sanctions has caused Europe to be trapped in the energy crisis. European countries such as Germany relying on Russian energy have to find alternative energy.

German Chancellor Olav Tushuz will visit the UAE this weekend and sign LNG contracts.
