  Pannonia Bio Zrt., Danube river  We were not allowed to take pictures inside the plant As a part of CEU summer school's theme of ‘Repowering Leadership in European Energy and Food, two field trips were arranged for the participants:           Pannonia bioethanol plant (around 100 km away from Budapest)           Zsamboki eco-farm (around 60 km away from Budapest) As eco-fancy as these two places sound, they have distinctive differences both in terms of their environmental footprint and scale. Reflecting an Azeri proverb, ‘its better to see once, than to hear one hundred times.’ So, first field trip was organized to Pannonia biofuel plant. One day before the trip, there was a heated classroom discussion about scaling biofuels and industry/civil society criticism dilemma. Thus, with some scepticism we headed to Pannonia. Since its inception in 2012 Pannonia has undergone significant expansion. However there is still no ...

According to the United Nations, it is projected that by the year 2050, approximately 70% of the global populace will be residing in urban localities. This will raise concerns regarding the sustainability of urban areas. Azerbaijan is a nation experiencing population growth and is deemed particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Meantime, cities in Azerbaijan have sustainability, inclusivity, and accessibility challenges. Observation and practice show that, in cities other than capital city of Baku, there is a notable absence of accessible routes for trolleys and wheelchairs, which hinders certain group of people to have easy access to the amenities and services, subsequently impeding their social involvement.  For instance, cities’ not being walking friendly, adversely affects the well-being of the elderly. Being threatened by high speed and disregard for the pedestrians limits their social interaction. Therefore, lack of accessibility creates absence of inclusivit...

Bu parlaq metala tələbat yüksək səviyyədədir və onun çıxarılmasının ətraf mühitə çox mənfi təsiri var. Sübut edilmişdir ki, qızıl hasilatının aparıldığı ərazilər, onun sağlamlığa və ətraf mühitə təsirləri çox böyükdür. Civə və siyanid qızılın çıxarılması prosesində istifadə olunan ən geniş yayılmış iki kimyəvi maddədir. Qızıl hasilatının daha çox inkişaf etməkdə olan ölkələrdə həyata keçirildiyini nəzərə alsaq, ətraf mühitə təsirin düzgün qiymətləndirilməsinin aparılması, ekoloji standartlara riayət edilməsi və ya azaldılması xərclərinin ödənilməsi əsasən mövcud deyil və ya zəif aparılır. Civə təbii olaraq meydana gələn elementdir, lakin insan fəaliyyəti nəticəsində ətraf mühitə yayılan civə ölümcül ola bilər. Böyük miqyaslı mədənlərdə istifadə olunan siyaniddən fərqli olaraq, hələ də qızıl mədən sənayesində, xüsusən kiçik miqyaslı mədənlərdə ist...

  A few weeks ago Beeco rep. Incha Aliyeva had a chance to visit one of the wind farms and also a renewable village located in Faldheim ⚡ Germany. This is the only energy self-sufficient village in DE. There are also other cleaner energy sources in the village which is not in pictures: sun and biogas. On average the e-farm can produce the energy which can support 55.000 households. The surplus of the energy (which is mostly 99% of produced energy) is sold to the German national grid. The wind turbines have special modern technology that make them less audible. Also they are specially operated on nesting, migratory seasons of birds and bats, so constant research is carried out to learn the local ecosystem. One of the elements of the energy village is that Faldheim village's local residents are actively engaged in the decision-making process, investment options: as they say villagers are both consumers and investors. Of course, this energy farm is not 100% clean, or at least 100% car...
