婚禮季的無聲恐懼——以及如何應對

(SeaPRwire) -   今年夏天早些時候,我在阿瑪菲海岸一個壯觀的童話婚禮上發表了伴郎演講。我非常享受將筆墨付諸紙上的獨特挑戰,以某種方式融合了感傷和性暗示。我被拉維羅屋頂的全景所震撼。但在喝了大約第八杯 Aperol Spritz 後,我陷入了一種存在危機,這對於像我這樣的許多「中年人」來說是司空見慣的。隨著泳池邊舞池的擁擠,我感到一種被困住的感覺。我為我的朋友們感到高興,並榮幸能在他們特殊的日子裡扮演一個角色,但突然敏銳地意識到我自己的處境。 一年前,我從一家科技雜誌的職位上被裁員。雖然從那以後,我靠自由新聞業和文案寫作勉強維持生計,但這種有上頓沒下頓的模式與我 30 多歲時所希望的穩定相去甚遠。房貸機構對自僱人士要求嚴格。我沒有任何帶薪休假或病假。因此,當我的伴侶和我碰杯並在月光下旋轉時,幾個月後我們自己的婚禮也需要計劃和支付,我因沒有更可靠的基礎而感到內疚。 我應該現在更進一步。我應該更安定下來。這些是我每天都要面對的焦慮。但婚禮往往會加劇這些焦慮。 別誤會,婚禮的某些方面我還是很喜歡的:有機會與老朋友敘舊,催人淚下的祝酒詞,以及理想情況下的免費酒吧。還有一些我必須鼓起勇氣忍受:在酷熱的天氣裡穿西裝,Journey 的,以及其他客人那無辜卻又充滿壓力的問題所帶來的痛苦反思:你最近在忙些什麼? 根據我的經驗,婚禮往往遵循類似的劇本。它們假定有前進的動力。人們只想與你分享正面消息:例如生孩子、升職或你下一次房屋改造的計劃。 如果你無法提供這些,那麼閒聊就很困難。但不參加婚禮並不是一個真正的選擇。我不是鐵石心腸。我在乎。無論我個人的挫折如何,我愛我的朋友們,我不想因為我還在摸索自己的生活而從他們生命中最快樂的篇章中消失。 所以,在這個夏天還有幾場婚禮要參加的情況下,我想出了一個四點計劃,說明我如何才能在保持自尊和靈魂完整的情況下生存下去。 首先,我需要記住這不是一場比賽。人們在人生的不同階段都會獲得突破。Sir James Dyson 在 46 歲時才推出第一台 Dyson 吸塵器。Julia Donaldson 直到 50 歲才出版The Gruffalo。Colonel Sanders 。 其次,我想投資於我自己的里程碑。無論是與工作還是健身有關,當我應得的時候,我都會對自己說聲做得好。我為大型出版物撰寫的每一篇文章都是青少年時期的我會感到興奮的事情。在 Parkrun 取得新的個人最佳成績也值得讚許。根據 研究,每天只需進行 20 秒的自我肯定對話,就能顯著改善幸福感並減輕壓力。 第三,我會在早期制定一個退出策略。並非每場婚禮都需要我一直待在舞池裡直到午夜。我會允許自己更關心自己的時間。我會盡可能長時間地待在那裡,只要我覺得自己有能力應付。 最後,我將預先安排我的婚禮前行程。我將預訂那些滋養我的小事:長時間的散步、一本好書、去看電影,或者與真正了解我經歷的人共進晚餐。 情緒耐力是真實存在的,如果婚禮是馬拉松式的活動,那麼首先補充水分非常重要。至關重要的是,我在參加婚禮前的幾個月或幾週裡,都充滿了我喜歡做的事情,這樣這一天就不會感覺像是例行公事的一個驚嘆號。 我不認為這些想法是萬無一失的。我確信仍然會有讓我感到難過的時刻——就像一篇聽起來像是我以為我現在會擁有的生活的藍圖的演講。但我堅信,當我遇到這些時刻時,我會比過去更加優雅和冷靜地應對。 在我完成我的事情之前,我會參加更多的婚禮。我會鼓掌;我會哭泣;我會送出貼心的禮物。我也會默默地知道,生活並不是以完美的編舞方式進行的——這沒關係。 回首往事,在義大利的那個夜晚既艱難又令人愉快。美味的義大利麵有所幫助。雖然婚禮經常突顯生活的不平衡節奏,但它們也是我們最接近歸屬感的時刻——不是因為我們已經「到達」,而是因為我們無論如何都出現了。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

中國瑞風與河北交投重組項目實現重大進展 新能源主業即將迎來戰略升級

香港,2025年7月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 導語:中國瑞風新能源控股有限公司(股票代碼:00527.hk)(以下簡稱""中國瑞風")與河北交通投資集團有限公司(以下簡稱"河北交投")的重組項目迎來關鍵性突破。繼2024年1月26日簽署的10.4億人民幣股票及可轉股債券認購協議後,在中國瑞風於2024年6月21日所刊發的公告的基礎上,河北交投進一步將河北承德市30萬千瓦風電和20萬千瓦光伏項目的50%股權轉讓給中國瑞風。這一舉措不僅強化了中國瑞風在新能源領域的核心競爭力,還為未來更多項目注入埋下伏筆,標誌著公司開啟高品質發展新篇章。項目背景:重組框架奠定合作基礎河北交投與中國瑞風的戰略重組始於2023年初,作為河北省屬地方國企改革與新能源產業大力發展的重要一環。2024年1月26日,隨著雙方將近一年的前期各項準備工作的完成,雙方正式簽署了具有里程碑意義的一攬子協定,由河北交投牽頭,聯合兩家港元基金,以合共約13億人民幣認購中國瑞風新發行的股票及可轉股債券,其中河北交投認購10.4億元人民幣。待認購事項完成後,河北交投將成為中國瑞風的控股股東。此次交易於2024年6月21日刊發正式公告。本次重組既是大幅強化了中國瑞風的資本結構和投資開發實力,同時也是明確了河北交投領導中國瑞風加速發展新能源主業的領導地位,為後續新增項目的開發建設提供了強大動能。此次重組雙方回應了國家"雙碳"戰略,為實現河北省新能源強省的目標奠定堅實的基礎。最新進展:資產注入強化主業動能根據雙方簽署的一攬子協定,河北交投於2025年5月16日與中國瑞風簽署正式股權轉讓協議,以675萬元人民幣的代價,由中國瑞風收購河北交投德能能源有限公司(以下簡稱"交投德能")的50%的股權,並成為交投德能的第一大股東。交投德能成立於2022年,由交投集團全資持有,擁有平泉德佑的30萬千瓦風電以及圍場德佑20萬千瓦光伏項目。上述兩個新能源項目與本集團旗下紅松風電一樣,均位於河北省承德市,作為河北交投首批集中式新能源項目,德潤及德佑均已於2024年開工,主體工程接近尾聲,已實現部分並網並於2025年開始產生收入,預計本年度內可實現全容量並網。 根據經中國審計師出具的審計報告顯示,截至2024年末,德潤及德佑已形成總資產近22億元人民幣,預計項目整體完工後總資產將達至近30億元人民幣。此次交投德能的股權轉讓,是雙方重大重組事項推進的里程碑事件,意味著河北交投不僅只是注入資金投資控股中國瑞風,更是有意將中國瑞風打造成河北交投新能源主業發展的核心平臺。未來展望:開啟增長新週期中國瑞風與河北交投的重組項目,從資本認購到資產注入,一攬子的交易標誌著交易雙方從股權到新能源產業的同步整合與深化。交投德能項目股權的注入,不僅強化了公司主業勢頭,還為未來的快速增長奠定堅實的基礎。中國瑞風有望在河北交投完成控股後,以堅定的步伐,開啟公司綠新能源產業發展的新紀元。中國瑞風新能源控股有限公司(「瑞風新能源」)連同其附屬公司(統稱「本集團」)是香港聯交所主機板上市公司,股票代碼(00527.HK)。瑞風新能源是中國華北地區領先的新能源企業,以風力發電的開發營運為主營業務,並積極投資光伏發電和電網側獨立儲能等清潔能源領域。本集團附屬公司河北紅松風力發電股份有限公司(「紅松風電」)於2001年開始風力發電業務,是中國成功開發和營運風電場之先驅企業之一。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

為何達賴喇嘛持續成為我們所有人的顧問 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   2011年3月,日本海嘯奪走了18,500條人命,達賴喇嘛立刻在他位於印度北部的家中,表達了前往災區「朝聖」的決心,盡其所能地提供協助。同年年底,我陪同他前往石卷市,這是一個幾乎被災難夷為平地的漁村。我還在青少年時期就認識了他,並且已經與他定期交談了37年,還出版了一本關於他的工作和願景的書。 當他的車子在瓦礫堆中停下來的那一刻,這位藏傳佛教領袖便走出來,向沿路排隊的數百人給予祝福和鼓勵。他將人們的頭靠在他的心上,試圖撫慰他們的眼淚。然後,在附近一座奇蹟般倖免於難的寺廟裡,他回憶起自己在1959年突然逃離西藏的經歷。他表示,沒有人的生活沒有損失,但更新的可能性每時每刻都存在。 那個早晨是一個小小的提醒,說明了當他準備在7月6日慶祝90歲生日時,第十四世達賴喇嘛如何成為一種行星級的心靈醫生,在各大洲進行家訪。他經常說「我的宗教是仁慈」,並經常重申,如果科學發現與佛教教義相矛盾,科學必須勝過佛教。他已成為一位罕見的精神導師,能夠在我們這個日益分裂的世界中跨越每一個邊界進行對話。 在一個道德領導力難以尋覓的時代,他已成為一個普世智慧和慈悲的聲音,來自各種傳統的數百萬人可以向他尋求慰藉和指導。 他出生在離最近的道路有三個小時路程的牛棚裡,後來被稱為達賴喇嘛的他,是第一位踏上亞洲以外土地的達賴喇嘛。他經常說,雖然在不得不離開西藏以防止與中國發生全面戰爭後失去了家園,但他已將整個世界視為自己的家。我曾與他一起旅行過許多地方,從沖繩到洛杉磯,從齋浦爾到蘇黎世,我可以看到這並非空談。這位佛教領袖向一群基督徒講述《福音書》,當他描述耶穌的一些寓言時,眼中充滿了淚水。他也是「世俗倫理」的倡導者,稱自己為「伊斯蘭的捍衛者」,向猶太教拉比請教如何在流亡中維持一種文化,並且經常稱自己為印度的學生,他在這個以印度教為主的國家已經生活了66年。 這在任何情況下都是一種解放,但在我們許多人被相互競爭的信仰體系撕裂的時代,它提供了一個特別有力的榜樣。在與他交談的半個多世紀裡,我注意到達賴喇嘛的第一個衝動是與他遇到的每一個孩子——或士兵,或中國共產黨黨員——找到共同點。他每天都為他的「中國兄弟姐妹」祈禱,並注意區分經常是英勇的個人和北京政府,後者或多或少地試圖摧毀西藏。儘管他是世界上最受尊敬的宗教領袖之一,但他指出,宗教是一種奢侈品,就像茶一樣,可以為生活增添風味。但是,我們所有人都離不開的水是日常的仁慈和責任。 最重要的是,他是一位現實主義大師;自四歲起就成為他的人民的領袖,他對不切實際的計劃或浪漫的姿態不感興趣。他知道,在8世紀,藏族軍隊佔領了中國首都長安,而在其他時候,中國幾乎抹去了西藏。沒有邊界是永恆的。在最近的10個11月裡,我與他一起走遍日本,他工作日的每一刻都陪伴在他身邊;每年最讓我感動的是,當我們走進一間滿是衣衫襤褸、啜泣的人的房間時,我意識到他們每一個人都是來自中華人民共和國的漢族人,花光了辛苦積攢的積蓄來到日本聆聽達賴喇嘛的教誨。 對於佛教徒來說,他是一位令人敬畏的學者,他利用古代文獻表明,人們相互依存的命運使環境意識和全球意識成為必要。對於藏人來說,他已成為他們歷史上三位具有決定性意義的達賴喇嘛之一。但對於我們其他人來說,他一直是良知的開朗化身,他將他的信仰建立在「常識、共同經驗和科學發現」之上。作為一個天生的民主主義者,他在2011年放棄了所有世俗權力,儘管他的人民經常希望他為他們做出所有決定。他也經常表示,他可能是最後一位達賴喇嘛——但不是藏人的最後一位精神領袖——因為在他去世後,北京肯定會選擇一個黨員男孩,並將他作為繼任者。 在他的生活中,有一個奇怪的悖論,那就是他已經在印度和世界各地建立了藏傳佛教寺院和社區,即使西藏本身正日益受到外來移民和殘酷政策的侵蝕。他激勵了許多國家的信心,即使他自己的人民在苦難中被驅趕到自焚和絕望的境地。他已成為幾乎每個大洲都喜愛的訪客,即使他無法返回自己的家園。然而,在我們這個注意力短暫的時代,他最獨特的才能之一就是從不忽視大局。 在1989年他獲得諾貝爾和平獎的第二天,我帶著代表TIME的問題闖入了他的房間。儘管全球的藏人都為勝利而慶祝,但達賴喇嘛一如既往地更加冷靜和有遠見。他告訴我,他真的很想知道自己是否做得足夠好,但他所能做的就是日復一日地奉獻自己的一切,因為他知道從長遠來看——正如他的同伴和老師,曼德拉和圖圖大主教所知道的那樣——道德的宇宙會轉向正義。從現在起的九十年——以及在未來的幾個世紀裡——他將被銘記為我們最早的全球精神領袖之一,也是最持久的精神領袖之一。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

基爾·施達文如何虛耗了他作為英國首相的第一年

(SeaPRwire) -   那將會是銘刻在英國人腦海中的一刻。財政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯(Rachel Reeves)在星期三於全國人民面前,幾乎正好是她以議會多數席位獲勝的一年後。 這一事件發生之際,政府正因削減數百萬殘疾人士的福利而面臨壓力,此前議員們的反抗引發了人們對里夫斯,甚至史塔默,還能在職多久的質疑。 殘局暴露了工黨上台以來一直困擾著它的一個悖論。 它的方向一向是正統和保守的,以「財政約束」和捍衛既定機構為特徵。 然而,在一個需要更新而不是緊縮的國家,這種政治往往會產生永久性的危機——反過來,這導致該黨做出有損其信譽的讓步。 說工黨讓民眾的期望落空有點誇張。 工黨在2024年7月4日選舉中的勝利,很大程度上要歸功於民眾對保守黨的普遍不滿,保守黨執政的14年以撙節、混亂的英國脫歐、以及該黨首相之一利茲·特拉斯(Liz Truss)為超級富豪減稅,引發債券市場崩盤而聞名。(《每日星報》開始直播,看看特拉斯或一顆生菜哪個保質期更長;結果生菜贏了。) 工黨以34%的選票贏得了議會64%的席位。 投票率處於歷史低點,一些人稱史塔默的勝利為空洞的勝利或慘勝。 該黨並未試圖在意識形態上將自己與保守黨區分開來:雙方都同意控制國家支出的必要性、與華盛頓的特殊關係至上,以及需要削減移民。 分界線在於善政問題,曾擔任該國皇家檢察署署長的著名律師基爾·史塔默爵士承諾成為一位更有能力的管理者。 但財政紀律的承諾適得其反。 里夫斯長期以來一直排除增稅的可能性,導致政府在預算問題上 постоянно 陷入危機。 它的解決方案是維持像臥室稅這樣的嚴厲措施。 它取消了幫助退休人員在冬季保暖的補貼,引發了公眾的憤怒,以至於史塔默被迫道歉。 它試圖通過削減福利來迫使病人和殘疾人工作,這只是源於這些自我施加的支出限制的最新反彈。 工黨政府長期以來的說法是,它可以重啟增長,從而更好地為國家提供資金。 它通過證明其在市場上的「信譽」和放鬆對關鍵產業的管制來做到這一點。 金融家們被鼓勵進行更多的投機活動,資產管理公司也被鼓勵以將富裕投資者放在首位的方式收購更多英國搖搖欲墜的基礎設施。 這是2020年代的涓滴效應議程,基於給予大企業一切它想要的東西,希望其他人總有一天能分享到財富。 Amazon U.K. 的前負責人被任命負責監管私人壟斷企業。 Microsoft U.K. 的前任 CEO 加入了政府的產業戰略委員會。 BlackRock 的高管被授予了與主要部長的非凡接觸權。 但 GDP 增長停滯不前,公共服務仍然面臨巨大的壓力。 將英國診斷為「病夫」的說法越來越普遍。 自然,英國人正在尋找替代方案。 其中一個可能是由前工黨領袖傑里米·科爾賓(Jeremy Corbyn)等人發起的新的左翼聯盟。 但對於今天的許多人來說,最接近的選擇是笑容滿面、抽著雪茄的煽動者奈傑爾·法拉奇(Nigel Farage),他是極右翼改革黨的領袖,他那毫無想像力的「讓英國再次偉大」的承諾,以及對移民的妖魔化,隨著工黨政府的步履蹣跚,獲得了越來越多的支持。 儘管改革黨在2024年的選舉中僅贏得了650個席位中的5個,但它在5月份的地方選舉中取得了重大進展。 一項民意調查顯示其支持率為34%,並且越來越多的人談論法拉奇可能會再次競選議員。 它的崛起恰逢英格蘭和北愛爾蘭各地種族主義襲擊尋求庇護者並縱火焚燒他們的住所的事件激增。 史塔默並沒有制定一個一致的路線來反擊法拉奇,而是經常含糊其辭。 首先,他的政府支持驅逐移民,並承諾採取強硬措施以防止英國成為「陌生人之島」——呼應了伊諾克·鮑威爾(Enoch Powell)在他的「血河」演講中的話語。 史塔默後來道歉,說他和他的演講稿撰寫人都不知曉這與鮑威爾的言論相似。 這又是工黨的推諉和自我破壞的又一個例子:未能贏得改革黨選民,同時疏遠了許多自己的支持者。 現在,黨內高層人士私下承認,史塔默可能在幾個月內被迫下台。 教訓是,在今天的英國,拒絕尋求有意義的變革會導致永久性的動盪和不穩定。 除非史塔默找到一種方法來避免後者,否則他的政治生存無法得到保證。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

The event showcased the company’s progress in building a fully integrated and independently operated mRNA platform and highlighted significant breakthroughs across several pipeline programs in cancer and autoimmune diseases.These achievements not only mark the accelerated implementation of Everest Medicines’ “dual-engine” strategy, but also reflect the company’s evolution from an initial license-in model to a balanced approach that integrates in-house discovery with global partnerships and in-licensing—focusing on high-value therapeutic areas and the development of first-in-class or best-in-class assets.Everest is among a select group of biopharmaceutical companies worldwide with full in-house capabilities across the entire mRNA development chain. The company has successfully localized and industrialized its mRNA platform, building a fully integrated and scalable end-to-end system that spans AI-powered antigen design, mRNA sequence optimization, proprietary LNP delivery technologies, and GMP-compliant manufacturing.Everest has developed an advanced LNP platform with over 500 proprietary lipid formulations, underpinned by a strong patent portfolio focused on ionizable and stealth lipids. This platform supports flexible delivery for a wide range of modalities, including vaccines and in vivo CAR-T therapies. Preclinical data have demonstrated the platform’s high efficacy, safety, and tunable delivery across hepatic and extrahepatic tissues, enabling both passive and active targeting strategies. The platform also boasts clinical validation through Everest’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate, PTX-COVID19-B, which in a global Phase 2 head-to-head trial showed comparable immunogenicity and tolerability to Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty®.At the R&D Day, Everest unveiled development updates on three key assets powered by its AI+mRNA platform. EVM16 is a novel personalized mRNA cancer vaccine developed in-house using the company’s third-generation AI-based neoantigen prediction algorithm, EVER-NEO-1. This algorithm identifies patient-specific mutations and encodes them into customized mRNA sequences, which are delivered via LNPs to stimulate targeted T-cell responses. Preclinical studies in melanoma models demonstrated strong antitumor efficacy and synergy with PD-1 inhibitors. In March 2025, the first patient was dosed in an investigator-initiated trial (IIT), with early results showing robust, mutation-specific T-cell responses even at low initial doses—highlighting both the vaccine’s strong immunogenicity and the reliability of Everest’s proprietary EVER-NEO-1 AI algorithm.EVM14 is an off-the-shelf therapeutic mRNA vaccine targeting five tumor-associated antigens, applicable to multiple squamous carcinomas including non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Preclinical research indicates EVM14 may enhance immune memory and reduce tumor recurrence. The program has received FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance and is progressing toward IND submission in China. The first clinical batch of EVM14 were released from Everest’s Jiashan manufacturing facility in June 2025 and are expected to arrive at U.S. clinical trial centers by mid-August.For its in vivo CAR-T program, Everest is leveraging a proprietary targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) delivery system, which enables the in vivo generation of CAR-T cells without the need for lymphodepletion. In preclinical studies conducted in both humanized mouse models and non-human primates (NHPs), the approach demonstrated high T-cell transduction efficiency, robust CAR expression, and effective B-cell clearance. This therapy offers a scalable, off-the-shelf alternative to conventional CAR-T treatments, with controllable dosing and an improved safety profile—positioning it as a potential game-changer in both oncology and autoimmune indications.Everest Medicines’ AI+mRNA platform is advancing the development of a broad pipeline of therapeutic candidates, with strong potential demonstrated in cancer and autoimmune diseases. These advancements further demonstrate the effectiveness of Everest’s dual-engine strategy, underscoring the company’s ability to execute on its vision of combining in-house innovation with strategic external partnerships.According to Everest Medicines CEO Rogers Yongqing Luo, personalized mRNA vaccines and in vivo CAR-T therapies are emerging as promising solutions to address critical challenges in cancer treatment, such as poor immune memory and high recurrence rates. He noted that mRNA technology—characterized by rapid design, scalable production, and cross-indication versatility—is reshaping the landscape of precision medicine. Everest plans to continue leveraging its end-to-end mRNA platform to advance key pipeline programs, including cancer vaccines and mRNA-based cell therapies, while expanding opportunities for application and global collaboration.Rogers also revealed that the company has initiated discussions with several top 20 global pharmaceutical companies and is leveraging international resources to accelerate the global development of its innovative assets.As Everest continues to advance both clinically and technologically, the integration of its mRNA platform with its core assets in nephrology and immunology is expected to drive a robust three-pillar growth strategy—anchored in platform innovation, differentiated products, and targeted market expansion. Backed by strong momentum across three globally competitive assets and a clinically validated, IP-rich platform, Everest is well positioned to redefine its long-term valuation narrative and emerge as a global leader in next-generation therapeutics.

MHIET Launches 450kW Gas Cogeneration System Capable of Hydrogen Co-Firing

Jointly developed with Toho Gas, based on the currently available 450kW city gas engine GS6R2Allows for hydrogen co-firing rate of up to 15 vol%, with maximum output and operation unchanged even during hydrogen co-firing operationPackage also available to run solely on city gas at the time of installation, while allowing for switch to hydrogen co-firing with minimal on-site modifications"SGP M450" 450kW gas cogeneration systemTOKYO, July 4, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger, Ltd. (MHIET), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, announces a new lineup to SGP M450, a gas cogeneration system jointly developed with Toho Gas Co., Ltd., capable of hydrogen co-firing at a maximum of 15 vol%, with power output of 450kW. It is launched for Japan market at present.To allow for hydrogen co-firing, the two companies modified the fuel gas and engine control systems of the GS6R2 city gas mono-firing engine to develop a hydrogen co-firing engine. More than 500 hours of demonstration testing was conducted at the Toho Gas Technology Research Institute (Tokai, Aichi Prefecture), confirming the reliability of hydrogen mixing and the reduction in CO2 emissions.In the demonstration testing, various simulated operating patterns were applied to verify capabilities required for power generation equipment to respond to fluctuations in power demand and maintain stable operation. The tests confirmed that there is no risk of abnormal combustion, and that the system can be operated in the same manner as the city gas mono-firing model.The hydrogen blend ratio has been set at a maximum of 15 vol% to minimize the scope of change from conventional natural gas engines. The system has two operating modes, city gas 13A mono-firing mode and hydrogen co-firing mode, and can be switched between modes at any point during loaded operation. In hydrogen co-firing mode, only city gas is used for starting the engine, which means the same amount of initial load as city gas mono-firing mode can be accepted even in the event of a power outage, making the system highly reliable for business continuity plans (BCP).In addition, for customers who are considering the use of hydrogen in the future, MHIET is also offering the "Hydrogen Ready" package. The system is configured for city gas mono-firing at the time of installation, but some equipment and functions necessary for hydrogen co-firing are also pre-incorporated, allowing for a shortened work period when the site is converted for hydrogen co-firing.Cogeneration systems, owing to the expected reduction in the environmental load through energy conservation, are considered one of the distributed energy resources that should be pursued further to achieve carbon neutrality. Moreover, since they are power sources able to respond to power outages resulting from large-scale disasters or other emergencies, they are also expected to play a role in strengthening resilience.*Going forward, MHIET will continue to promote the greater use of hydrogen and the widespread adoption of distributed power generation, contributing to the realization of a low-carbon and decarbonized world, and improving the resilience of society as a whole.(*)Resilience denotes toughness, recuperative power, and flexibility. It specifically refers to such initiatives as development of disaster-resilient infrastructure, expanding cooperation with businesses to support quick recovery, and strengthening information dissemination.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

(SeaPRwire) -   警方週四表示,Liverpool F.C.前鋒迪奧戈·若塔(Diogo Jota)和他的兄弟在西班牙的一場車禍中喪生。 Spanish Civil Guard表示,28歲的若塔和25歲的安德烈·席爾瓦(André Silva)在當地時間凌晨約12點30分,於薩莫拉省(Zamora)西部的塞爾納迪利亞(Cernadilla)發生車禍後被發現死亡。 一份警方聲明補充說:「一輛汽車駛離路面,一切跡象表明是超車時爆胎。事故導致汽車起火,兩人均遇難。」 西班牙的EFE news agency表示,將對這兩名葡萄牙球員進行屍檢。 若塔在不到兩週前與他的長期伴侶魯特·卡多索(Rute Cardoso)結婚,並在一篇文章中寫道:「是的,直到永遠。」這對夫婦育有三個年幼的孩子。 Liverpool F.C.週四表示,對若塔的逝世感到「悲痛欲絕」。該俱樂部在一個月前才慶祝了追平紀錄的第20個冠軍。 若塔也曾效力於葡萄牙國家隊,並在上個月幫助球隊贏得了UEFA Nations League冠軍,而席爾瓦則效力於葡萄牙俱樂部Penafiel。Portuguese Football Federation (FPF)表示,他們得知兩人去世的消息感到「無比悲痛」。 FPF主席佩德羅·普羅恩薩(Pedro Proença)在一份聲明中表示,該聯合會已要求在週四葡萄牙與西班牙的女子歐洲錦標賽比賽前默哀一分鐘。 若塔為Liverpool F.C.出場182次,攻入65球,並贏得了四項主要獎杯,包括最近的英格蘭超級聯賽冠軍。他此前曾效力於Wolverhampton Wanderers、西班牙球隊Atletico Madrid以及葡萄牙球隊Paços de Ferreira和F.C.
