Partial suspension of two Nornickel mines to reduce 2021 production of nickel by 35 kt, copper by 65 kt and PGM by 22t

Green Car Congress

Due to the increased water inflow to the drainage systems of the mine and in accordance with safety procedures and applicable law, the company partially suspended operations at the mine. Once the backfill mix has hardened, the water inflow will be shut off by closing the valves. Axonometric diagram of the Taimyrsky mine in 2015.

Italy is putting a big hybrid floating solar–floating wind farm in the sea

Baua Electric

It’s tapped into that knowledge to design elevated solar platforms made of offshore-grade aluminum that sit 10 feet (3 meters) off the water to withstand rough waters. Floating solar farms on lakes and ponds tend to sit directly on the water.) The elevation also reduces salt deposits on the solar panels.

ZF presents EVbeat concept vehicle with prototype of new 800-volt electric drive; compact, lightweight and efficient

Green Car Congress

EVSys800 In terms of dimensions, the drive saves 50 millimeters in width thanks to the compact reduction gearbox and the ZF-patented Braided Winding technology of the electric motor, thus enabling space-saving, coaxial installation on the drive axle. This is pre-filled and hermetically sealed and is therefore maintenance-free.
