https://electrek.co/2020/05/07/swede...-wind-turbine/ Johan Åhlén, CEO of Moelven Töreboda, said: Wood has fantastic properties and we need to build much more in wood if we are to meet the climate goals. For us, it is hugely inspiring to participate in this pilot project where we have been able to use renewable wood in a design for the production of renewable energy. The first commercial wooden towers will be built from 2022. Modvion has signed declarations of intent with renewables company Varberg Energi for a 110-meter tower and wind turbine builder Rabbalshede Kraft for 10 towers that are at least 150 meters high. Otto Lundman, CEO of Modvion, said: This is a major breakthrough that paves the way for the next generation of wind turbines. Laminated wood is stronger than steel at the same weight and by building in modules, the wind turbines can be taller. By building in wood, we also reduce carbon dioxide emissions in manufacturing. Further, the carbon dioxide absorbed by trees as they grow is stored in the wooden towers, which means that the wind turbines are climate-neutral right from the start. Photo: Modvion |

https://www.metsawood.com/global/new...n-storage.aspx Wood construction battles climate change through carbon storage One of the most important ways to mitigate climate change is to find new ways of capturing carbon from the atmosphere. As the building sector contributes up to 30% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions, it plays a vital role in battling climate change. Wood construction is a part of the solution, as timber products lock approximately 1 ton of CO2 per 1 m3 of wood.

According to computer modeling conducted by the researchers who wrote the new paper, the D614G mutation has altered the spike protein so that it can now get cleaved in a second spot by a different enzyme known as elastase. If correct, this offers several big opportunities for the virus to spread faster: Now it has two ways to get cleaved. If there isn't enough TMPRSS2 in any given instance, it will have elastase as a second option. While TMPRSS2 is bound to the cell membrane, elastase is freely circulating in the extracellular fluid. There may be instances where TMPRSS2 and ACE2 are both available, but not located closely enough to initiate a fusion event. Under those circumstances the free-floating elastase should have better access to cleave the spike protein and initiate fusion. The spike protein may get cleaved in two spots instead of one. It is possible that a larger number of smaller pieces of the spike protein could have a “decoy” effect by distracting the immune system to focus on the broken pieces of the spike protein rather than the part of the spike protein busy infecting the human cells. |

Studies and arguments about whether one country was hit harder or recovered faster because of its policies need to take into account the different genetics of their populations and how it has impacted the spread of the G mutation. |

https://electrek.co/2020/05/08/itali...d-sales-in-us/ If you had to imagine the toughest possible market conditions for the already tentative electric motorcycle industry, having your operations ceased because your country was leading the continent in a global pandemic might be near the top. But somehow that has barely phased Energica, who is now touting impressive sales numbers not just in Europe, but in the US as well. After returning to semi-normal operations in its factory at the end of last month, Energica has just shared new sales figures for its electric motorcycles. As it turns out, the US is becoming one of Energica’s main markets. The company recently announced that 41% of their recent sales originated from the US. Of those, around 50% of the bikes have already arrived in the US and are expected to be delivered in the coming days. Energica’s deliveries have taken a particular hit during the COVID19 pandemic, coming as something of a one-two punch after a surge in demand at the beginning of the year had already increased pressure on the company’s delivery schedule. In fact, Energica claimed that in the first two months of 2020, the company sold more electric motorcycles than in all of 2019. |

Specs: https://www.energicamotor.com/nl/ele...-energica-ego/ ENERGICA EGO+ Dankzij onze race-ervaring uit de MotoE™ hebben we grote stappen vooruit kunnen zetten met onze EV-technologie: zo heeft de nieuwe Energica Ego+ een grotere 21,5 kW lithium ion-accu afkomstig van onze racemotoren. Met zijn imposante koppel van 215 Nm is de Ego+ daarmee met afstand de krachtigste elektrische motorfiets op de openbare weg, terwijl zijn met 62% toegenomen accucapaciteit goed is voor een rijbereik van 400 kilometer in de stad, 180 kilometer op de snelweg en 230 kilometer bij gecombineerd gebruik. Er bestaat geen andere elektrische motorfiets die verder komt op een acculading. En trouwens ook geen andere elektrische motorfiets die sneller kan worden opgeladen.
