Russia and Turkey agree on Turkish Stream onshore route

Gazprom and Turkey have agreed the general route for the onshore section of the Turkish Stream pipeline. The first line of the 180 kilometer pipeline is expected to be completed by December 2016, according to company CEO Aleksey Miller.

“We have identified and put on the map also the on-ground passage of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline for further exploration and project work,” Miller told journalists on Sunday. “This is the key news.”

Landfall will be near the village of Kiyikoy, and a delivery hub for Turkish consumers will be close to the town of Luleburgaz. The pipeline will terminate on the Turkish-Greek border in the area of Ipsila.

Permission to carry out design and survey work in the new Turkish offshore section is expected soon.

Gazprom is ready to supply 47 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Europe via Turkish Stream, it said in a statement.

“We’ll direct the capacity of the gas pipe’s first line, 15.75 billion cubic meters, fully to the Turkish market. Considering the degree of readiness of the Russkaya compressor station and the larger part of the route, this time frame is absolutely reali

stic,” said Miller.

On December 1 Gazprom and Turkey’s Botas Petroleum Pipeline Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding on the construction of the gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey under the Black Sea.

Turkish Stream is an alternative to the South Stream project cancelled by Russia in December 2014 due to the EU’s unwillingness to support the 63 billion cubic meters capacity pipeline.

The route of Turkish Stream across the Black Sea will match much of that previously agreed for South Stream.

Green Energy and Technology

Production, Conversion, Storage, Conservation, and Coupling

This book is a first effort to fill the need for a comprehensive text on energy. The importance of energy and its effects on everyday life is undisputable. Consequently, many institutions today offer either minor or major degree programs on energy. This undergraduate textbook is prepared for students with diverse backgrounds who are interested to know more on energy and pursue a degree on energy. Although, it is naturally connected to thermodynamics through the energy balance, the new textbook covers many aspects of energy in systems with rate and transport processes. This new textbook discusses five major aspects of energy in an introductory manner in separate chapters. The major aspects are energy production, conversion,
storage, conservation, and coupling. Before discussing these aspects of energy, the textbook starts with an introduction and basic definitions in Chap. 1. In Chap. 2, the primary and the secondary energy types are discussed. Chapter 3 discusses mechanical and electrical energies. Chapter 4 discusses internal energy, enthalpy, heat of reaction, and heat transfer, while Chap. 5 discusses energy balance. Chapter 6 discusses energy production by mainly cyclic processes. Chapter 7 discusses energy conversion with an emphasis on thermal efficiency of these conversions. Chapter 8 discusses energy storage techniques including thermal energy storage by sensible and latent heats. Chapter 9 discusses energy conservation, while energy coupling in biological systems is discussed briefly in Chap. 10. There are 130 fully solved example problems throughout the chapters, and 642 practice problems listed at the end of ten chapters. The examples and practice problems provide the students with an opportunity towards a deep understanding of the concepts and aspects of energy.

Exhibition & Conference for SEE on Emergency ‘Save the Life’

‘Save the Life’

save-the-life-en

Exhibition & Conference for SE Europe on Emergency, Rescue-, Safety Management and Control

Date: 11 – 13 March 2015
Frequency: Annual
Organizer: Via Expo
Venue: Inter Expo Center, Sofia, Bulgaria

Due to the increasing climate variability and more frequent industrial accidents over the last few years, the issues like  emergency, rescue-, safety- management and control attain extreme significance for the Region of South-East Europe. These topics will be considered as a NEW SECTION in the SE European Environmental Exhibitions & Forum that will be held in 2015 from 11 to 13 March in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The objectives of ‘Save the Life’ are to increase the awareness of the international disaster experience and to transfer  the knowledge of international response systems and coordination mechanisms. It will help for better teamwork capability in the rescue teams and sharing the existing know-how. South-East Europe felt nearly all types of natural disasters in the last years. They have cross border effects and can potentially threaten entire areas in neighboring countries.

The invited visitors will be experts in the field of emergency management: infrastructure operators, senior managers and decision makers from anti-fire departments, disaster-relief, rescue, military and government organizations as well as private security service providers, municipality and business leaders.

The concept of disaster financing will be also discussed. The society demand for information on natural hazard risks has grown explosively in recent years.

The event scope includes:

Emergency Management and Control

  • Vehicles
  • Equipment and Services for Predicting
  • Technical Support Equipment
  • Earthquake Engineering
  • Urban Planning
  • First Aid – Special Equipment and Services, etc.

Rescue and Safety

  • Personal Protective Equipment
  • Occupational Health; Hazardous Waste Treatment
  • Surveillance and Signaling Technologies and Equipment
  • Explosion Protection
  • Radiation Protection
  • Noise / Vibration Protection
  • Air Purification
  • Electrical Safety
  • Transport Safety
  • Ergonomics, etc.

SEE ‘Smart Cities’ – Exhibition and Conference 2015

‘Smart Cities’ – Exhibition and Conference for South – East Europe

glava_smart-eng (1)
Date: 11 – 13 March 2015
Frequency: Annual
Organizer: Via Expo
Venue: Sofia, Inter Expo Center
 

The focus of ‘Smart Cities’ Exhibition and Conference will be on intelligent transport, building management and automation, ICT technology implementation in the overall urban activity.

Today, 80 % of the Europeans live in cities. They occupy only about 2% of the land area, but they consume 75% of resources and emit 80% CO2. It is really important to change the way we consume and produce.  The intelligent vision of the cities can be a reality through wider introduction of advanced solutions. ‘Smart Cities’ will identify the path towards the sustainable urban development in South-East Europe.

It will attract representatives of institutions, municipalities, branch organizations, private companies, providing interactivity and networking between them.

We kindly invite you to become a part of ‘Smart Cities’ – an excellent opportunity to showcase your products, to start new joint business projects, to share your  experience.

The opportunities and perspectives of the SE European market

The security of energy supply, fast climate changes, strong economic and social benefits have prompted many countries in South-East Europe to diversify their energy mix and to reduce the import of fossil fuels, keeping money circulation within the regional economy.

The Region has a great potential for utilization of renewables. Well-developed agriculture and forestry industries, availability of organic waste are a prerequisite for biogas, methane and biomass production. The decentralized solar electricity generation for heating and cooling is encouraging, too. A very perspective market segment is the realization of waste-to-energy projects through public private partnerships.

Countries with a sea outlet have the opportunity to drive forward the ‘blue energy’ sector and only 40% of the hydro energy sources is developed in SE Europe.

The energy systems transformation will need a new grid that combines capacity for high volume transfers and distribute energy with smart power management.

Investments for improvement of energy efficiency in private and public buildings as well as in industry are coming – the South-East European countries are developing also strategies for zero energy buildings.

The CO2 reduction in transport sector is the other priority issue and in the Region solutions for replacement of the fossil fuels with alternative low carbon fuels are sought. In terms of e-mobility, the South-East Europe is at its early stage and governments are going to stimulate this emerging industry.
