A project to build a giant island providing enough green energy for three million households has been given the go-ahead in Denmark.
The world s first energy island will be as big as 18 football pitches, but there are hopes to make it three times that size.
It will serve as a base for 200 giant offshore wind turbines.
It is the biggest construction project in Danish history, costing an estimated 210bn kroner - that s roughly £24 billion!

A project to build a giant island providing enough energy for three million households has been given the green light by Denmark s politicians.
The world s first energy island will be as big as 18 football pitches (120,000sq m), but there are hopes to make it three times that size.
It will serve as a hub for 200 giant offshore wind turbines.
It is the biggest construction project in Danish history, costing an estimated 210bn kroner (£24bn; €28bn: $34bn).
Situated 80km (50 miles) out to sea, the artificial island would be at least half-owned by the state but partly by the private sector.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is fast becoming the smart choice for process development and biomanufacturing control. But taking full advantage will require better use of data and regulatory support.
In its simplest form, AI is a system that can perceive its environment and automatically take actions based on that information. The approach has been used in drug discovery for a decade or so. According to a 2018 news article, Pfizer, Sanofi, and Roche subsidiary Genentech had all started working with AI developers to focus and streamline discovery efforts.

Swedish technology provider Alfa Laval has launched a research project that aims to accelerate the development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology and use it to produce green marine fuel.
Together with partners such as the Technical University of Denmark and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon, Alfa Laval will lead the development of the SOFC4Maritime project, which used green fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen and biomethane to power onboard. of ships. .
