Sacred Artifacts for Sacred Humanity
On a mission. SpiroVerse continues to work towards the enlightenment and elevation of consciousness of humanity through creating a soulful infrastructure built on blockchain and includes everything needed to develop personal energy (health, longevity) and to reach the highest potential (wellbeing, talents, abilities) on one platform.
At this time, and merging Art, Utility and Sacred meaning, SpiroVerse is about to launch a collection of NFT Artifacts. Delving into the effects of Sacred Geometry in our minds and souls, the NFT collection is designed to empower their holders with access to the entirety of the SpiroVerse platform, as well as the SpiroHuman Community, MarketSpace and Vested Rewards.
Art penetrates humanity. From poetry to music, from landscapes to paintings, from architecture to sculptures, the human brain responds to colors, textures and shapes with different emotions. Art touches our soul. It has done so since ancestral times, and, if youtube is any indication, in its musical form, art also attracts other species. From cows to elephants, from dogs to apes, our brainwaves seem attuned to react to artistic inputs.
This is the case with geometry as well. Human development of perspective can turn a 2D representation into the Last Supper, with depth, light rays, fugue points and human shapes. Sacred Geometry is one of these manifestations of art. A special one, as it merges our senses with the language of nature: Mathematics.
With a strong and knowledgeable community, SpiroVerse’s SpiroHumans will have access to a host of like-minded individuals with whom they will be able to participate in community enhancement activities, retreats, classes and skill building courses. All the while having the challenge and reward of earning $SPIRO tokens while they go through their personalized evolution paths.
The scheduled drop of this limited edition of Sacred Artifact NFTs is December 13th. To purchase Sacred Artifact NFTs visit https://nft.spiroverse.io/ . For more information about SpiroVerse, please visit https://www.spiroverse.io/

The second largest industrial subcontracting trade fair in Europe, and the largest industrial trade fair in Finland, Alihankinta and AlihankintaHEAT will be organized at Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre on 27–29th September 2022. The theme of the event will be Industry Appeal, Needs and Experts. The exhibition stands for this autumn's Alihankinta Subcontracting Trade Fair have been sold out, which means that approximately 1,000 exhibitors will attend this international event covering all exhibition halls of the Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre. The Subcontracting Trade Fair 2022 partner for Alihankinta is Wärtsilä Finland Oy.
After two years of exceptional circumstances, everyone is looking forward to Alihankinta and AlihankintaHEAT 2022 with special enthusiasm. The event will be tightly structured around current themes, meaningful encounters and latest solutions.
– This autumn looks bright, and we are looking forward to having the fair. Pandemic times may have changed many practices, but people's need for face-to-face encounters has not stopped. This is why so many still attend trade fairs and other events; just look at Alihankinta that has been sold out. In addition to pre-booked appointments, live events enable random encounters and unexpected collaboration opportunities. This is not possible via Teams, for example. Of course, being together is an important value in and of itself. Our goal is to make this autumn's Alihankinta and AlihankintaHEAT event a place for meaningful encounters and a three-day industrial festival, where the famous positive subcontracting spirit of Tampere is ever-present, says Tanja Järvensivu, PR and Partnership Director of Tampere Trade Fairs Group and Project Manager for Alihankinta.
Industry Appeal, Needs and Experts as event theme – Wärtsilä Finland Oy as the Subcontracting Trade Fair partner
The theme of Alihankinta and AlihankintaHEAT 2022 will be Industry Appeal, Needs and Experts. The theme will showcase the current and future needs and prospects of industry on a broad scale. Debate-arousing perspectives include the appeal of industry and how to attract skilled workers, the importance of a new kind of cooperation, and challenges and changes arising from the volatile global situation.
On Tuesday 27th Sept, the programme will focus on the theme "Industry Appeal, Needs and Experts". The first day's programme includes the awarding of Subcontractor of the Year and Main Supplier of the Year by Finnish Association of Purchasing and Logistics LOGY. On Wednesday 28th Sept, the programme is titled "Industry Future and Current Challenges", discussing e.g., the effects of the Ukraine crisis, industrial supply shortages, cybersecurity and preparedness, and future changes in industry. Thursday 29th Sept will be "Shapers of the Future Thursday", with a content that highlights the appeal of industry, relevant topics for youth and students, and the importance of collaboration between schools, universities and companies.
The Subcontracting Trade Fair 2022 partner for Alihankinta 2022 will be Wärtsilä Finland Oy. Wärtsilä is a leading international supplier of innovative technologies and life cycle solutions in the marine and energy markets. In 2021, Wärtsilä's turnover was over EUR 4.8 billion.
Wärtsilä's Vesa Riihimäki, Ensto's Marjo Miettinen and Engineering Academy's Peer Haataja as theme partners
As in previous years, Alihankinta has assigned three esteemed industry experts as theme partners. The theme partner from Wärtsilä, the main partner of the fair, is Vesa Riihimäki, President in charge of production, power plants and procurement, who also leads the Sustainable Technology Hub project. The second theme partner is Chairman of the Board at Ensto, Marjo Miettinen. The third theme partner is Peer Haataja, CEO of Tampereen Teollisuusoppilaitos Oy and head of the new Engineering Academy.
Subcontracting Trade Fair Alihankinta presents the metal, electronics, plastics and rubber industries, industrial ICT solutions, as well as design and consulting within these fields. During normal years, the event has attracted over a thousand exhibitors from twenty countries and about 18,000 trade fair visitors. The fair is organized by Tampere Trade Fairs Group in collaboration with Technology Industries of Finland, Rubber Manufacturers' Association of Finland RMAF, Finnish Association of Purchasing and Logistics LOGY, and Finnish Plastics Industries Federation FIPIF. The fair has taken place in Tampere since 1988.

"Behind sustainable choices is not the actual sustainability of the company, organization, or brand, but the sustainability experience," writes Timo Järvinen, CEO of the Finnish empathy analytics company NayaDaya Inc.
If we split the core of sustainability, in addition to the ecological, social, and economical consequences of our actions, we will find something that has a decisive impact on people's behavior, business success, and sustainable development.
This other aspect of sustainability is experience. Sustainability is an increasingly important part of the customer and employee experience. Customers and employees appraise the sustainability of companies, organizations, and brands in relation to their own values. Appraisals lead to subjective meanings and emotions – thus creating an emotional experience of sustainability.
Emotional experiences have a decisive impact on behavior – as do sustainability experiences. We have seen this especially recently. Emotions make us ignite, participate, and commit to things that represent the world we believe in. The emotions within the experiences of sustainability can also cause the opposite: avoidance, resistance, and even aggressive behavior.
From the point of view of companies and organizations, the effects of sustainability experiences are at best seen as traction and retention, or even as a competitive edge. At worst, they can cause loss of customers and employees.
If a company, organization, or brand wants to succeed and be a part of change toward a better world, sustainability experiences are critical to the success of its mission. We must accept that, for example, behind sustainable consumer choices is not product sustainability but rather consumer sustainability experience.
People are not able to react to anything other than the experiences produced by their own judgment.
A company or an organization needs to identify the essential parts of its sustainability to its customers and employees. It is beneficial to find out how elements of the sustainability experience affect behavior. By strengthening engaging elements and fixing or transforming the causes of stagnation, avoidance, and resistance, people are involved – this way it’s possible to create value for customers and employees, strengthen loyalty, and promote a sustainable, profitable growth.
Sustainability must be built, and the sustainability experience managed responsibly. However, this self-evident idea is not so self-evident after all. As people do not react to sustainable actions but rather to their sustainability experiences, it is possible to influence their experiences and emotions in ways that are not responsible but aim only to create images.
Recognition of authenticity contributes to healthy development. Companies, organizations, and brands that embrace sustainability as a key guideline and a part of their DNA implement these principles in all their operations and communications. When deeds and words meet each other and people’s values, the result is hope for the better, trust, change, and ultimately, success.
Sustainability is the way to a better future and competitive edge, but it is often full of curves and pitfalls. We must accept that sustainable actions do not always evoke positive, engaging emotions. It is not sustainable to always do and say what people wish and want to hear.
The consequences of acts of sustainability can be contradictory. Sometimes they mean cutting personal interests, which causes negative reactions. Sometimes the public and social media deal with events in ways that don’t do justice to real efforts.
In all circumstances, it is helpful to identify the customer and employee experiences and reactions. Collective empathy and data are needed to identify emotions as well as their root causes and consequences. The answers are not found on social media, where the loudest voice is often held by a relatively small number of people.
Communication is needed to manage sustainability experiences – not just to evoke images but to portray boldly and uncompromisingly the reality. From time to time, we all need to be steered into the right direction. Sometimes we must give up our own interests here and now so that all people, including future generations, will have hope.
The power of compassion should be better harnessed to engage and involve customers and employees.

Wir befinden uns in einer Situation, in der die Unternehmensleitung und der Vorstand ein Tool für eine Momentaufnahme der Risiken benötigen, um ihre schnelle Entscheidungsfindung zu unterstützen. Unsere Umfrage zeigt, dass ein großer Teil der Unternehmen für das Risikoportfoliomanagement einen Flickenteppich aus Dokumenten und Tabellenkalkulationen verwendet, die keine angemessene Momentaufnahme des heute erforderlichen Risikomanagements bieten.
Zu den Risiken, die im Risikoportfolio gemanagt werden können, gehören Geopolitik, Verfügbarkeit von Rohstoffen, Preissteigerungen, Preiseinbrüche, Versorgungssicherheit, Verfügbarkeit von kritischen Ressourcen und Energie sowie Epidemien.
Das Risikoportfolio ermöglicht ein dezentralisiertes und vor allem ferngesteuertes Risikomanagement und -koordination. Das Risikoportfolio macht die gesamte Risikolandschaft der Organisation an einem Ort und zu einer konstanten Zeit verfügbar. Thinking Portfolio Risikoportfolio ist so parametrisiert, dass es das Risikomanagementmodell der Organisation unterstützt und daher an alle Geschäftsbereiche und unterschiedliche Reifegrade des Risikomanagements anpassbar ist.
Thinking Portfolio bietet ein attraktives Preismodell für Dienstleistungen - eine monatliche Gebühr berechtigt eine unbegrenzte Anzahl von Nutzern zum Zugriff auf das Portfolio, so dass die gesamte Organisation in das Risikomanagement einbezogen werden kann.
Der Vorteil des Risikoportfoliomanagements ist eine schnelle und aktuelle Sichtbarkeit für das Risikomanagement, das Risikobewusstsein und insbesondere die Reaktion, Berichterstattung und Analyse der tatsächlichen Risiken.

Über 10 Milliarden Alkalibatterien werden jedes Jahr in der ganzen Welt verkauft. 60% jeder Batterie bestehen aus Zink und Mangan, beides essenzielle Mikronährstoffe, die von den meisten Pflanzen benötigt werden. Tatsächlich weisen etwa 50% der Böden weltweit einen Mangel an Zink und 10% an Mangan auf. Durch diesen Recycling-Prozess von schädlichen Abfällen, kommt Tracegrow der Deckung des globalen Bedarfes an Nährstoffen entgegen.
Saubere und effiziente Düngemittel
Die patentierte, bahnbrechende Technologie des Unternehmens erfasst über 90% der Spurenelemente aus recycelten Alkalibatterien und ist somit die weltweit effizienteste Methode zur Wiederaufbereitung von Batterien. Der gleiche Prozess kann auch für andere Metallabfallströme verwendet werden, wobei Tracegrow hocheffiziente und nachhaltige Mikronährstoffprodukte herstellen und den Bedarf an Rohmaterialien reduzieren kann. Durch die Herstellung unserer Produkte aus recycelten Materialien können wir die CO2-Emission der Landwirtschaft deutlich verringern und die Verschwendung wertvoller Ressourcen vermeiden, welche bei einer Deponierung potenziell umweltschädlich sein könnte.
Mit diesem innovativen Verfahren verwandelt Tracegrow ansonsten verschwendete und potenziell schädliche Rohstoffe in saubere und effiziente Düngemittel, die für den Anbau von mehr nachhaltig produzierten Ackerpflanzen verwendet werden. Tracegrow entwickelt und produziert die weltweit nachhaltigsten Grow-Mikronährstoffdünger und liefert emissionsarme Mikronährstoffprodukte für Spezialmischungen und Saatbeizmittel. Die Produkte von Tracegrow haben mehrere behördliche Zertifizierungen durch die EU und das FiBL erhalten; zum Beispiel für den Einsatz im Ökologischen Landbau. Sie sind weltweit verbreitet.
Eine Innovation für Nachhaltigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit
Aus Sicht der Industrie adressiert die Innovation zwei konvergierende Bedürfnisse: Landwirte haben einen steigenden Bedarf an nachhaltigen, aber auch rentablen Düngemitteln, die die Umweltbelastung minimieren und gleichzeitig ihre Nahrungsmittelproduktion insgesamt steigern können. Sie stehen an mehreren Fronten unter zunehmendem Druck, einschließlich der globalen Klimaänderung und des Bevölkerungswachstums, was wiederum erfordert, mit dem zur Verfügung stehenden Land immer bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Andererseits würden Batterierecycling-Unternehmen und sogar Länder von effizienteren Verfahren stark profitieren, um mit der steigenden Nachfrage nach Batterieentsorgung Schritt zu halten und ihnen zu helfen, negative Umweltauswirkungen durch traditionelle Entsorgungsmethoden zu reduzieren.
Tracegrow entwickelt derzeit das nächste Produkt der Grow-Familie, das aus recycelten Abfällen der Metallindustrie hergestellt wird. Da die Technologie zur Reinigung vieler anderer Abfallquellen verwendet werden kann, ist Tracegrow auch auf der Suche nach innovativen Quellen für Mikronährstoffe, um die Grow-Produktfamilie zu erweitern; hergestellt unter Berücksichtigung der Umwelt.
Tracegrow nimmt vom 27. Februar bis 5. März 2022 an der Agritechnica in Hannover teil und heißt alle interessierten Besucher an unserem Stand herzlich willkommen.
ROSTOCK and BERLIN, Germany -- ARAB NEWSWIRE -- A research paper on the frequently misdiagnosed disease Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) and the currently running clinical study ‘Hereditary Angioedema Kininogen Assay (HAEKA)’ was recently published in the international Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases.
Patients with HAE are characterized by unpredictable and painful attacks of swellings on different parts of the body. The HAEKA study aims to identify prognostic biomarkers for HAE – molecules that reflect the disease status and are able to predict attacks before they physically start. This would improve patient’s life considerably as they can observe the biomarker level, take immediate actions, and prevent attacks. In the HAEKA study, participants receive study boxes including lancets for finger pricking that allows self-sampling of blood directly during swellings. Such a study design was never applied before for HAE research and gives them hope for exciting discoveries.
The HAEKA study is a unique research collaboration between industry and academia. CENTOGENE GmbH is organizing the study, whereas the Charite is the most important enrolling study center, and Takeda sponsors the study. The concept of the HAEKA study was developed by Prof. Arndt Rolfs, Founder and Ex-CEO of CENTOGENE, Founder of Arcensus, together with Prof. Marcus Maurer and Prof. Markus Magerl from Charite. Both Prof. Rolfs, as well as the first author Dr. Toni Förster (Operational Project lead) and the last author Dr. Volha Skrahina (Director Clinical Studies) are working by now for Arcensus GmbH, a medical start-up company for commercial genetic diagnosis via Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS).
As the study is still ongoing, no final results are available yet. However, the paper presents the current status and intermediate data of the HAEKA study. It further raises awareness both about the disease HAE (for publicity) and about the study per se (for interested HAE patients). Importantly, this paper is a creative example of how to find solutions for operating clinical studies during COVID-19. The idea of self-sampling from home provides not only flexibility to participants, but also depicts the only way of dealing with the strict contact restrictions.

بالطبع يمكن الحصول على الطاقة من الإشعاع الشمسي في الأحوال الجوية السيئة. بعد كل شيء، الكهرباء لا تتوفر بشعور الحرارة، ولكن بأطياف الإشعاع المرئية للشمس التي تصل إلى الأرض حتى في الغيوم وفي الشتاء.
عوائد الطاقة الشمسية التي تعتمد بشكل كبير على الموسم
ومع ذلك، فإن القيم التي حققتها الأنظمة الكهروضوئية الألمانية تختلف اختلافًا كبيرًا بين أشهر الصيف والشتاء. حتى لو لم يتوقف الإنتاج تمامًا في الشتاء، فإن الخلايا الكهروضوئية هي تقنية طاقة موسمية للغاية. بشكل عام، يمكن القول إن كمية الطاقة المتولدة في الصيف أكبر بثلاث مرات من تلك التي يمكن استخدامها لتوليد الطاقة في الشتاء.
أنظمة الطاقة الشمسية تصل إلى أقصى إنتاج لها في الأشهر من مايو إلى سبتمبر
عشره متر مربع من مساحة الألواح الشمسية لحوالي سبعة عشر كيلوواط ساعة من الطاقة في نوفمبر. في نوفمبر، بلغ إنتاج النظام الكهروضوئي الذي يبلغ إنتاجه الاسمي من خمسه كيلوواط في الساعة الى سبعة عشر كيلو واط في الساعة فقط، وفي ديسمبر تسعة عشر كيلو واط في الساعة، وفي يناير بلغ متوسطه سبعه وعشرين كيلو واط في الساعة.
فرق كبير في قيم 125 كيلوواط ساعة، والتي تم التوصل إليها في يونيو. ومع ذلك، لتحقيق هذا الناتج على الإطلاق، فإن النظام الكهروضوئي الذي يبلغ إنتاجه الاسمي حوالي كيلو وات واحد هو بالفعل شرط أساسي، ويتكون من خمس إلى سبع وحدات. لذروة كيلو وات واحد، يلزم من سبعه إلى عشر أمتار مربعة من السطح المواجه للشمس، اعتمادًا على جودة الوحدات المركبة. لا يمكن لأي شخص تثبيت مثل هذا النظام على المنزل بسبب نقص المساحة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن زاوية ميل النظام مهمة جدًا للعائد. إذا لم تصطدم أشعة الشمس بالوحدات الشمسية بزاوية مناسبة، فإن العائد يكون أقل والتركيب المعقد لا يكاد يؤتي ثماره في النهاية.
الثلج والظلام أعداء طبيعيون للطاقة الشمسية
في حالة تساقط الثلوج، لا يمكن للوحدات الكهروضوئية أن تعمل على الإطلاق. على وجه الخصوص، على الأسطح حيث يمكن للثلج أن يتجمع ولا ينزلق، يمنع الغطاء الثلجي الضوء من الوصول إلى الوحدات. ثم تنعكس الطاقة الشمسية حتى قبل أن يتم تحويلها إلى كهرباء، ويكاد يكون الناتج غائبًا تمامًا. في الليل أو عندما تتساقط الثلوج على النظام الشمسي تحت غطاء من الثلج، يتعين على نظام تخزين البطاريات تزويد المنزل بالكهرباء.
بدون تخزين باهظ الثمن، غالبًا ما تكون الطاقة الشمسية غير كافية
تتحول بطارية الرصاص الحمضية أو نظام تخزين أيونات الليثيوم بسرعة إلى حجم الثلاجة ولا يمكن إعدادها في كل قبو، ليس فقط لأسباب تتعلق بالمساحة. بالإضافة إلى تكاليف تركيب وحدات الطاقة الشمسية على السطح، فإن تكاليف نظام التخزين هذا لا تقل عن ستة الاف يورو، ولكن أحيانا تصل بسرعة الى اثنا عشرة ألف يورو. صُممت سعتها التخزينية بحيث يمكن للأسرة أن تزود نفسها بالطاقة الشمسية مرة أخرى في صباح اليوم التالي. إذا كانت كمية الكهرباء لا تزال غير كافية، يجب شراء الكهرباء من الشبكة التقليدية بسعر مرتفع.
نيوترينو فولتيك - الحل البديل والفعال للطاقة في المستقبل للجميع
إن توليد كمية كبيرة من الطاقة من الخلايا الشمسية يرتبط بعدد من المتطلبات التي لن يجدها كل مستخدم.
يعمل أيضًا مبدأ نيوترينو فولتيك، الذي طورته الشركة الألمانية الأمريكية، مجموعة نيوترينو للطاقة. بدلاً من الإشعاع الشمسي المرئي، يستخدم نيوترينو فولتيك جميع أطياف الإشعاع غير المرئية التي، على سبيل المثال، تصل إلينا باستمرار من الفضاء، ولكن أيضًا الدمج الكهربائي الذي أنشأناه بشكل مصطنع. يمكن إجبار النيوترونات عالية الطاقة، التي تخترق عالمنا تمامًا، على إطلاق جزء صغير من طاقتها الحركية عندما تصطدم بسطح كثيف بشكل خاص، والذي يمكن بعد ذلك تحويله إلى كهرباء وإزالته. الأمر نفسه ينطبق على التعرض للإشعاع الكهرومغناطيسي.
تعزز المواد الخاصة الاهتزازات الذرية - من خلال عدة طبقات فوق بعضها البعض
تحقيقا لهذه الغاية، طورت مجموعة نيوترينو للطاقة، برئاسة عالم الرياضيات والرئيس التنفيذي هولجار ثورستن شوبارت مادة خارقة مصنوعة من طبقات السيليكون والجرافين المخدر. يضرب الإشعاع غير المرئي مادة الطلاء النانوي ويؤدي إلى اهتزاز الذرات. تم تحسين الاهتزازات الذرية على وجه التحديد أفقيًا ورأسيًا من خلال التركيب الهندسي لطبقات الجرافين والسيليكون وتضخيمها في الرنين حتى يمكن التقاطها من السطح كتيار كهربائي مباشر.
طاقة النيوترينو - دائمًا وفي كل مكان، وقت النهار تمامًا وبصرف النظر عن الطقس
مع فيلم عالي الأداء مطلي وفقًا لمبدأ نيوترينو فولتيك بمساحة ورقة واحدة فقط، يمكن توفير أكثر من 2.7 واط. يمكن زيادة كمية الكهرباء لأعلى. رياضيا، كما هو الحال مع الخلايا الشمسية، يعتمد الأمر فقط على حجم الخلية. ومع ذلك، بدلاً من التفاعل فقط مع البيئة على الطبقة العليا، مثل سطح الوحدة الشمسية على أشعة الشمس، فإن وحدات نيوترينو فولتيك المكدسة تطور حرفيًا تأثير العمق، حيث يوجد أيضًا تفاعل في الطبقات السفلية. باستخدام "حزمة طاقة" بحجم رزمة ورق الطابعة، يمكن توليد 1.25 إلى 1.5 كيلو واط من الكهرباء، حتى لو كانت لا تزال حاليًا في ظروف المختبر.
أكدت العديد من الاختبارات أيضًا فعالية الطريقة تحت الأرض، على سبيل المثال في عمود في كتلة جوت هارد السويسرية، أكثر من 40 مترًا تحت السطح- أي مع الحماية المطلقة من مصادر الإشعاع الاصطناعي! باستخدام المادة المركبة الخلوية متعددة الطبقات والمخدرة والتي تعتمد على الجرافين، تم تطوير مادة خارقة تسمح بتوفير الطاقة حتى في مساحة صغيرة عن طريق تحويل الإشعاع غير المرئي.
في البداية كانت الأجهزة الإلكترونية الصغيرة مثل الهواتف الذكية، وآلات حاسبة الجيب، وأجهزة تنظيم ضربات القلب، وأجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة، ولكن لاحقًا أيضًا التنقل الإلكتروني والأسر بأكملها.
على أساس نيوترينو فولتيك، يمكن تشغيل كل ما يمكن أن تفعله الخلايا الكهروضوئية، ولكن حتى عندما تغرب الشمس. من خلال الجمع بين نيوترينو فولتيك والخلايا الكهروضوئية، سيكون من الممكن تقديم إجابة على المدى القصير حول كيفية توفير الطاقة الكافية بطريقة مستدامة تمامًا في المستقبل القريب.
النيوترونات قطعوه طريق طويل عبر الظلام إلينا. الآن سوف ينيرون الطريق لنا في المستقبل.

AUSTIN, Texas and DUBAI, UAE (Arab Newswire) -- Nano Cures Inc. (“Nano”), a clinical stage biotechnology and infectious disease immunity platform company, today announced a
$90M pre-IPO funding round. The investment will be led by a $20M commitment from Opulence Capital Management, a Dubai based private investment fund, with existing and new investors participating.
The investment will accelerate the global scale up of Nano’s Cures Platform for Covid-19 variants, including vaccines and persistent immunity delivery. Nano’s novel self- administered technology moves delivery beyond syringes and shots, to an array of nasal, dermal, ophthalmic, sub-lingual, and oral options. Nano will open up its Cures Platform to other pharmaceutical companies and their vaccines, providing dynamic new ways to conquer the pandemic and deliver billions of doses directly to those in need.
“As Covid-19 has made abundantly clear, a 21st century technology-enabled approach is needed that refreshes how we proactively solve public health challenges and threats. The opportunity to do so is likely the largest value creation opportunity in the world today. The Nano Cures Platform for Covid-19 variants is the solution,” said Steve Papermaster, Nano’s Chief Executive Officer.
Nano is accelerating plans to bring its Cures Platform for Covid-19 (and variants) to emerging regions such as GCC, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Central/Southern Europe. The breakthroughs in disruptive delivery methods beyond shots will be a gamechanger for improving access and vaccine delivery to people of all regions.
“We are proud to support and partner with Nano as they bring this Cures Platform to market. We believe they are delivering a highly unique set of proactive health and safety
solutions to address the current global pandemic, as well as safeguard against the next one,” said Alexander Vanderhey, Chairman of Opulence Capital Management. “With this investment, we are envisioning a safer, healthier future for the world.”
Salman Khan, a Director on the Board of Opulence Capital Management with extensive experience in implementing technology in the MENA region added, “GCC countries, especially the United Arab Emirates, have already shown that they are more than capable of acting effectively to contain the health and economic impacts of the pandemic within their own borders better than most developed nations, their aggressive approach towards managing the pandemic and maintaining essential services by frequently communicating with the public and keeping all citizens and residents informed clearly paves a way forward for us to initiate immediate set up of Nano in the UAE and other GCC countries to further support the MENA region.”
Furthermore, Nano is developing universal pan coronavirus vaccines and therapeutics for annual protection against known and emerging coronaviruses, which will be critical to successfully avoiding future global and regional public health and economic threats.
“The rollout of the Nano Cures Platform will help to heal the world from the current devastating Covid-19 pandemic, and shield the world from future pandemics, epidemics, and unnecessary death from infectious diseases,” said Papermaster.
Im ersten Halbjahr 2020 wurde in der Bundesrepublik erstmals mehr Strom aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen gewonnen als auf Grundlage fossiler Brennstoffe – ein zentraler Faktor beim Erreichen dieses Meilensteins war die Windenergie. Im Bereich der Windkraft haben die Deutschen ehrgeizige Pläne – Mitte des Jahres wurde ein umfangreiches Konjunkturprogramm für Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation eingeführt, um die Offshore-Windkraftkapazität bis 2030 von 15 auf 20 Gigawatt (GW) zu erhöhen.
Es gibt jedoch zwei wesentliche Herausforderungen, die den weiteren Ausbau der Windenergie in Deutschland im Weg stehen: Zum einen ist die Erzeugung von Energie aus Windkraftanlagen aufgrund schwankender Wetterbedingungen nur schwer planbar. Um die Anlagen effektiv nutzen zu können ist es daher wichtig die erzeugte Energie speichern zu können – für Zeiten, in denen das Wetter einmal nicht mitspielt. Die Speicher-Technologie ist jedoch nach wie vor sehr kostspielig. Das zweite Hindernis ist die bestehende Abhängigkeit vieler Sektoren der deutschen Wirtschaft von fossilen Brennstoffen. So wird die Wärme für Privathaushalte und der Strom für das Verkehrswesen oder Schwerindustrien noch immer überwiegend mithilfe fossiler Brennstoffe und nicht aus erneuerbaren Energien erzeugt. Doch die Lage ist nicht aussichtslos: Ein möglicher Ansatz zur Lösung der beschriebenen Probleme ist die sogenannte Sektorenkopplung.
Wind in Wärme umwandeln
Damit das Prinzip der Sektorenkopplung funktionieren kann, ist die umfassende Elektrifizierung des Wärme- und Verkehrssektors erforderlich und deren Umstellung von Strom aus fossilen Brennstoffen auf erneuerbare Energiequellen. Mit dem Ansatz der Sektorenkopplung wird ein ganzheitliches Energiesystem angestrebt, in dem die Sektoren mit dem Ziel einer nachhaltigen Versorgungssicherheit zusammen agieren. Dies kann zum Teil mithilfe der Power-to-X-Technologie erreicht werden: Mit Power-to-X kann beispielweise überschüssige Energie aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen in andere Energieformen umgewandelt und effizient eingesetzt werden. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Umwandlung von überschüssiger Energie in Wärme und deren Einsatz in energieeffizienten Wärmepumpen oder Elektrokesseln zum Heizen – die sogenannte Power-to-Heat Technologie.
„In der aktuellen Diskussion rund um die Dekarbonisierung wird viel über erneuerbare Energien und die Reduktion von Strom aus fossilen Brennstoffen gesprochen. Die Dekarbonisierung von Wärme steht dabei aber häufig nicht im Mittelpunkt, obwohl im Vergleich zur Stromerzeugung etwa doppelt so viel Energie für die Produktion von Wärme benötigt wird“, sagt Jan Andersson, Market Development Manager, Wärtsilä Energy Business. „Um die CO2-Neutralitätsziele zu erreichen, wird die Dekarbonisierung von Wärme ebenfalls eine große Rolle spielen.“
Eine weitere Möglichkeit bietet das Power-to-Fuel Verfahren, bei dem überschüssige Energie aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen in Wasserstoff oder einen anderen Kraftstoff der Zukunft umgewandelt wird. Durch diese Umwandlung kann Energie mit Hilfe eines Energieträgers, wie Wasserstoff gespeichert und transportiert werden. Dadurch können beispielsweise an windstillen Tagen thermische Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsanlagen (KWK) betrieben werden. Wärtsilä wurde bereits mit der Installation mehrerer KWK-Anlagen in Deutschland beauftragt, darunter eine KWK-Anlage mit über 100 Megawatt (MW) der Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden (KMW). Dank der Power-to-X-Technologie werden diese Anlagen in Zukunft eine wichtige Rolle in der Energieversorgung einnehmen.
Kostengünstige und saubere Energie
Mithilfe der Modellierung von Stromversorgungssystemen können wir das Potenzial der Sektorenkopplung und die Notwendigkeit der Transformation des deutschen Energiesystems in eine nachhaltige Zukunft aus 100 Prozent erneuerbaren Energien verdeutlichen. Mithilfe der Software PLEXOS modellierte Wärtsilä drei unterschiedliche Szenarien für die Stromversorgung einer durchschnittlichen deutschen Stadt im Jahr 2030. Der Strombedarf beträgt in jedem Modell 100 MW, die Variable ist der Anteil der erneuerbaren Energien am Strom-Mix. Bei der Auswertung der unterschiedlichen Szenarien wurde klar: die Energiepreise konnten in allen drei Szenarien durch den Einsatz von Sektorenkopplung sowie von Power-to-X-Technologie reduziert werden.
„Neben den Kostenvorteilen, die die Modellierung hervorhebt, würde eine Änderung der Energiepreise zur Senkung des Gesamtstrompreises und zum Wachstum des Sektors führen“, sagt Oldag Caspar, Teamleiter für europäische Klimapolitik beim Think Tank Germanwatch.
Laut Jan Andersson von Wärtsilä müssen zudem die Verbraucher stärker eingebunden werden, insbesondere hinsichtlich der vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die sich aus der Nutzung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen ergeben: „Generell denke ich, dass wir auch die notwendige Veränderung der Denkweise der Verbraucher berücksichtigen müssen, um erneuerbaren Strom in Zukunft effektiv als Wärmequelle verwenden zu können“, so Andersson. Wenn die Verbraucher den Mehrwert einer verstärkten Elektrifizierung sowohl aus finanzieller als auch aus ökologischer Sicht erkennen, wird dies dazu beitragen, die Sektorenkopplung und damit auch die Energiewende voranzutreiben.

„Mit Hilfe unserer Produkte können unsere Kunden den Anteil an erneuerbaren Rohstoffen in ihren Produkten deutlich steigern. Die Ökoeffizienz wird durch eine sog. Lebenszyklusanalyse (engl. LCA) auch quantitativ belegt werden“, sagt
Christian Hübsch, Leiter des Ligningesschäfts bei UPM Biochemicals.
Ein sorgfältiger Pionier
„Die Bioraffinerie von UPM Biochemicals produziert Biochemikalien aus Buchenholz, die fossile Rohstoffe unter anderem in der Herstellung von Chemikalien, Textilien und Verpackungsmaterialien ersetzen. Hinter dem Projekt stehen Forschung und Planung von zehn Jahren“, sagt Hübsch.
Viele technische Verfahren werden zum ersten Mal im industriellen Maßstab angewendet. Eine Vielzahl einzelner Prozeßschritte wird auf intelligente Art und Weise maximal integriert, mit dem Ziel den Verbrauch von Energie und Rohstoffen, sowie Emissionen zu minimieren.
Vielversprechende Märkte mit Wachstumspotential
In der Bioraffinerie werden aus der Biomasse bio-Monoethylenglykol (MEG), bio-Monopropylenglykol (MPG), erneuerbare funktionelle Füllstoffe und industrielle Zucker hergestellt.
„Aus bio-Monoethylenglykol werden unter anderem Polyestertextilien, PET-Flaschen, Verpackungsmaterialien und Frostschutzmittel erzeugt. Der weltweite Markt für Bio-Monoethylenglykol umfasst circa 30 Millionen Tonnen im Jahr und die Nachfrage wächst jährlich um eine Million Tonnen. Dies ist einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Bereiche in der petrochemischen Industrie.“
Bio-Monopropylenglykol wird zum Beispiel in Verbundstoffen, Arzneimitteln, Kosmetika und Waschmitteln eingesetzt. Derzeit werden diese Produkte fast vollständig auf Basis von fossilen Rohstoffen - Öl, Erdgas und Kohle hergestellt.
Die Lignin-basierten erneuerbaren, funktionlen Füllstoffe werden in Gummiprodukten und Kunststoffen eingesetzt. Sie stellen eine nachhaltige Alternative für Industrieruß und Fällungskieselsäure dar, deren weltweiter Markt insgesamt über 15 Millionen Tonnen umfasst.
Revolution für die Automobilindustrie
Die erneuerbaren, funktionellen Füllstoffe von UPM sind reiner und deutlich leichter als jene auf fossiler Basis. Der Füllstoff ist die Antwort von UPM auf zentrale Herausforderungen der Automobilindustrie.
„Die Autoindustrie sucht nach innovativen Lösungen zum Erreichen ehrgeiziger Nachhaltigkeitsziele. Die Füllstoffe von UPM können hierzu einen signifikanten Beitrag leisten. Die erneuerbaren Füllstoffe eignen sich für alle Kunststoff- und Gummiteile im Auto. Die Leichtigkeit des Stoffes ist insbesondere in der Produktion von Elektroautos ein Trumpf, wo nach Möglichkeiten gesucht wird das Gewicht der schweren Akkus durch leichtere Werkstoffe auszugleichen. Das Material bietet darüber hinaus noch eine ganze Reihe weiterer Vorteile. Beispielsweise ist es absolut frei von sog. polycyclischen, aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAHs). Diese hoch-krebserregenden Substanzen entstehen bei der Produktion von Industrieruß.“
Geeignete Lösungen für die Industrieproduktion
„Das bioMEG und bioMPG unserer Bioraffinerie unterscheidet sich chemisch und physikalisch nicht von den aktuell petrochemisch erzeugten Glycolen, d.h. sie können von der Industrie in den bestehenden Prozessen und Recyclingverfahren eingesetzt werden. Sie unterstützen daneben perfekt die Ziele der EU, den Anteil von erneuerbaren Rohstoffen bei der Herstellung von Kunststoffen zu steigern“, sagt Hübsch.
Es wird erwartet, dass die Biochemikalien ein Kostenniveau erreichen, das den fossilen Alternativen entspricht.
Der Motor der Zukunft
UPM verlagert den Schwerpunkt von der traditionellen Papierherstellung auf neue Branchen. Die Bioraffinerie, die seit fünf Jahren in Finnland in Betrieb ist, erzeugt Biokraftstoffe aus Holz. Nun werden Biochemikalien sowie Lösungen der Biomedizin in die Produktion aufgenommen. „Das gesamte Management von UPM sowie auch der Aufsichtsrat unterstützen die Entwicklung von UPM Biochemicals als neues Geschäftsfeld“, stellt Hübsch fest:
„Die molekularen Bioprodukte sind einer der drei strategischen Wachstumsbereiche von UPM und ein wichtiger Teil der innovativen Entwicklungsarbeit des Unternehmens zum Ersatz fossiler Rohstoffe. Die Investition ist die zweitgrößte in der Geschichte von UPM.“
UPM wird 550 Millionen Euro in die Bioraffinerie in Leuna investieren. Die Gesamtkapazität über alle Produkte beträgt
220 000 Tonnen pro Jahr.
