30 March. China expects to make the first trade on the long-awaited national emission trading scheme in 2020, as part of Beijing’s efforts to fulfill its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emission. China has spent two years on legal and technical infrastructure construction after it announced its plans to launch the nationwide emission trading scheme (ETS) in 2017. It began setting up pilot trading platforms in 2013 in seven regions across the country but they have not been brought under a unified scheme yet. Coal-fired power is the first industry included into the national ETS, covering around 3 billion tonnes (bt) of greenhouse gas emitted in China every year. China will promote carbon trade in power sectors, Jiang Zhaoli, vice director of the climate change department at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said.  The government will also include more high-energy consuming industries such as steel, non-ferrous and construction materials, into the scheme. The nationwide ETS aims to cover 8 bt of carbon dioxide emission per annum from around 100,000 industrial plants when the trading scheme is fully launched. The ETS is designed to encourage power utilities and manufacturers to reduce emissions through a market mechanism. Some scholars in China, however, are questioning the necessity of the ETS due to overlapping of policies. On the whole, China also plans to introduce a carbon tax and a renewable power quota system with a similar aim of boosting clean energy consumption and cutting emission at industrial plants. China said it has cut carbon intensity by 45.8 percent in 2018 from the level in 2005, exceeding the target of lowering it 45 percent by 2020. It also pledged to bring emission to a peak by around 2030 as part of its commitments to the 2015 Paris accord.

In the photo below, you can see several holes in the top plate of a wall that were drilled for wires to pass through. These holes could all be easily filled with spray foam, but finding these holes all over the attic would be a challenge without first removing the insulation, or performing an infrared inspection with a thermal imaging camera. The insulation had to be pushed aside to find these and take this photo.

To avoid such problems, remove the knob rather than simply taping it off. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws. If you can’t see screws, look for a small metal-covered slot on the side of the handle. Then use a pin or paper clip to push in this metal piece, which should pop the doorknob loose. You can then unscrew the “rose” or plate that hold the knob in place.

Under the proposed terms of the MOU and subject to final legal agreement, Bago will acquire the total amount of gas produced from West Rustavi, subject to a minimum of 1,000 Cubic m of gas per day. In addition, Bago is considering financing wholly, or in part, required gas infrastructure at West Rustavi, including pipeline tie backs to local infrastructure and gas processing plant solutions. A final offtake agreement will be subject to final price negotiation that is expected to be at a similar level to those agreements already in place with neighbouring contractors (which are in line with the Company’s internal forecasts). The final agreement will also be subject to successful gas appraisal work on existing discoveries located within West Rustavi and all relevant government permissions being obtained.

The unaudited estimates show the five concerts produced with Ruth Eckerd Hall may have cost the city $20,785. The six city-produced events may have cost $619,542. The largest discrepancy came with the city’s Hispanic Heritage festivals: the one-day event in 2017 may have cost the city $22,143. The 2018 event, which added a second day, is estimated to have cost $157,409, according to unofficial figures.

As for the most common health complaint from Passover—the infamous constipating powers of matzah and its by-products—Nathan says her ancestors were wise enough to build relief right into their traditional holiday recipes. “Our family always serves our krimsel (matzah fritters) with plenty of stewed prunes … even way back then, they understood.”

28 March. US (United States) Energy Secretary Rick Perry has approved six secret authorisations by companies to sell nuclear power technology and assistance to Saudi Arabia. The Trump administration has quietly pursued a wider deal on sharing US nuclear power technology with Saudi Arabia, which aims to build at least two nuclear power plants. Several countries including the US, South Korea and Russia are in competition for that deal, and the winners are expected to be announced later this year by Saudi Arabia. Perry’s approvals, known as Part 810 authorisations, allow companies to do preliminary work on nuclear power ahead of any deal but not ship equipment that would go into a plant. The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration said in the document that the companies had requested that the Trump administration keep the approvals secret. Many US lawmakers are concerned that sharing nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia could eventually lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
