JRC report assesses R&I in low-emission alternative energy for transport (ALT) in Europe; €2.3B spent from 2007-2020
The European Commission’s Joint Research Center recently published a report analyzing research and innovation (R&I) in low-emission alternative energy for transport in Europe. The analysis focuses on selected EU-funded projects from TRIMIS with end dates from 2019 onwards.
The Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) is the analytical support tool for the establishment and implementation of the Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA), and is the European Commission’s (EC’s) instrument for mapping transport technology trends and research and innovation capacities.

If you ve been to your local beach, you may have noticed the wind tossing around litter such as an empty potato chip bag or a plastic straw. These plastics often make their way into the ocean, affecting not only marine life and the environment but also threatening food safety and human health.
Fortum reports Q1 gains with Uniper
Finnish state utility Fortum reported May 12 a strong Q1 2021 financial result relative to Q1 2020, reflecting the consolidation of Uniper as a subsidiary at the end of March 2020. In the last 12 months it has contributed €1bn to Fortum s operating profit. But all its segments recorded higher comparable operating profits than a year ago, said CEO Markus Rauramo.
Its operating profit of €1.35 ($1.63)bn was more than twice the €603mn in the same period of 2020. Net income of €1.31bn was up from €938mn.
Nordic power prices were much higher despite the persistently high hydro reservoir levels, and these drove the 14% increase in the comparable operating profit of the generation segment. The Russia segment improved slightly, thanks to the profitable sale of Fortum’s 116-MW solar power project to a partly-owned joint venture for renewable power. This profit offset most of the negative effects from the weaker Russian rouble.
