27 March. German utility Uniper has started producing methane gas derived from wind power and feeding it into gas pipeline networks at its Falkenhagen site as the country seeks wider uses for renewable energy. The step, part of the European energy project called STORE&GO, demonstrates that it is feasible to produce entirely green energy with qualities identical to natural gas, Uniper said. The plant was set up six years ago, initially producing green hydrogen by using electrolysis, which involves running wind power through water to split it into oxygen and hydrogen in a process known as power-to-gas. In another step, methanation, CO2 (carbon dioxide) from a bio-ethanol plant has been mixed with hydrogen to create a gas-like substance for the past 12 months. The plant currently produces up to 1,400 cubic meters of synthetic methane a day, which corresponds to approximately 14,500 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy, Uniper said. Germany needs new ways to use and store renewable energy as a boom in wind and solar power has led to excess production.

What are heirloom tomatoes? There are several definitions. Heirloom tomatoes could be passed down for several generations through a family, or are commercially open-pollinated varieties introduced before 1940. They are also created by crossing two known parents and dehybridizing the resulting seeds for however many years or generations it takes to eliminate the undesirable characteristics. Dehybridizing is where a tomato plant is only allowed to self-pollinate. This process may need to be repeated for up to 8 years. Additionally, they may be selected "mystery" varieties that are a product of natural cross-pollination of other heirloom varieties.

Ma’am, I mean, you ended on a q-on-q basis the landed cost given that rupee appreciated would be lower. And since we had already by not having inventory there in the system, would we also be having some inventory loss which will be there, a part of the raw material, which explains why the gross margins kind of fell? Because I think the first half you might have also benefited from the raw material, benefiting on gains when the pipe was continuously moving up.

“I’m patient,” Neumann said. “A lot of individuals and entities really have a vested interest in us growing and believe in us. That’s how I sleep at night.”

Caged tomatoes are more productive since suckers do not need to be removed. There is less sun-scald of fruits since there is greater foliage cover. One major disadvantage of caging tomatoes is that fruits will ripen later. This is due to a heavier fruit load on caged tomato plants. Since no suckers need to be removed, caged tomato plants require less maintenance.

Industry officials said that COOEC has been lined up with a work commitment to fabricate 19 process modules carrying a total steel weight of as much as 150,000 tonnes by Fluor-JGC, which is the main contracting partnership for the LNG Canada consortium.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the lamb and sauté until browned and no pink remains, 8 to 10 minutes.

A tube of toothpaste is not the easiest thing to recycle. But what if you didn’t have to worry about recycling the tubes at all? The Kind Lab, a company based out of Los Angeles, has officially launched a zero-waste toothpaste that doesn’t come in a plastic tube. The company calls its product Bite Toothpaste Bits, and it could revolutionize the way we brush our teeth.

When purchasing tomato transplants, choose those with straight, sturdy stems about the thickness of a pencil. They should have four to six young true leaves, no blossoms or fruit, and be free of insect pests and diseases. Healthy transplants will experience little or no transplanting shock and should become established quickly in the garden.
