quarter-finals they are in the driving seats to make the last eight The winners of the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship will qualify directly through to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games but with final ranking spots of 2-7 ensuring qualification through to the IHF Women’s Olympic Qualification Tournaments in April Norway and Republic of Korea already qualified as host nation and their respective continental champions teams outside of the top seven will have everything to play for with third place in the main round groups a key spot to aim for Brazil and Ukraine) and Group H (Netherlands Czechia and Argentina) will fight for the two quarter-final spots in Group IV of the main round in Frederikshavn With three European sides and two South American teams as Spain and the Netherlands start the main round with a maximum of four points and have the upper hand against Czechia and Brazil (two points) while Argentina and Ukraine have the toughest challenge With Korea already qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and three other teams in Trondheim already through as well Slovenia will be doing everything they can to get maximum points in the main round to ensure at least third place Slovenia have impressed already in Norway and are already on two points thanks to their win over Angola and with influential captain Ana Gros back they are clear favourites to face a misfiring Korea side on zero points Korea have shown some signs of their potential but it has been a disappointing campaign so far off of the back of a disappointing Asian Games “Korea have already qualified for the Olympic Games and are one of the top non-European teams which already has many experiences from the biggest competitions,” said Slovenia coach Dragan Adzic to rokometna-zveza.si “We will be focused in the match and take another step towards our goal.” Korea won two 2016 friendlies while the Europeans defeated the Asian champions in a high-scoring (42:35) game at the 2005 IHF Women’s World Championship They had to wait another 14 years for their next gold (2017) and with the form they have shown so far in Norway it is quite possible the wait will continue for their third But the best teams win even when they do not play well and France bring with them a maximum four points “We are gaining momentum and we see that we are progressing with each match,” said France coach Olivier Krumbholz “There are certainly still some imperfections but I think there is a clear improvement in our production.” “We are looking forward to games exactly like this France has the fastest transition game in the world so therefore we have to be patient in our positional attack.” It will be hard though: they have never managed it in their 11 meetings losing all of them in a run stretching back to 1996 a 24:32 reverse in the Posten Cup in Norway just over a week ago reaching the main round is a historic achievement as their inexperienced side qualified for their first world flagship competition after a 14-year hiatus and them progressing further is already a big accomplishment They squeezed among the top teams after a more than convincing win against Kazakhstan in the last round of Group G Even though they will not be able to top their previous best results An ambitious Czechia side came to the 26th IHF Women's World Championship with more experience and confidence Led by backs Charlotte Cholevová and Marketa Jerabkova Czechia are eager to prove their status among the best Czechia are slight favourites in this match as they will aim to keep their chances alive for a quarter-finals berth We made it to the main round and we are starting all over again we are a young team and we cannot say that we are favourites or not favourites even though Iryna Glibko is not currently in the team a player of my club,” said Czechia's head coach Bent Dahl for handball.net.ua This will be their first-ever meeting at the IHF Women’s World Championship but they have met at the EHF EURO in the past Spain are starting the main round with four points after their straight-forward wins against Kazakhstan (34:17) and Ukraine (32:20) Ambros Martin's team certainly has the quarter-finals in their mind and beating Argentina would bring them one step closer to what would be their sixth placement among the top eight teams in history at the world handball flagship competition Sharing a similar style of handball to Argentina Spain's main force looks to be the team spirit and the connection of the backcourt with the line players Argentina could not keep up with Czechia and the Netherlands in the first two games of Group H Beating Congo 31:25 brought them their second-ever main round appearance after Spain 2021 The Spanish language was spoken on the courts of the World Championships between these two sides in 2009 Spain were the winning side while Argentina never scored more than 19 goals against their opponents Arena Nord in Frederikshavn will see the first day of the main round at Denmark/Norway/Sweden 2023 with a heavyweight clash between the Netherlands and Brazil With one of the best attacks in the competition it seems like the Netherlands are on a roll being the second best attack in the competition after Norway Winning all three games of the group phase on a 13-goal margin or higher the Netherlands used the most out of their strong defensive play with goalkeeper Yara Ten Holte shining with 38 per cent save efficiency so far and she will be once again the crucial link in stopping Brazil's fast attack with Bruna de Paula as the main protagonist Despite coming to the main road with two points Brazil proved they are a strong contender to make it to the quarter-finals Brazil made it to the quarter-finals and they will do everything to make it happen again Two easy wins (46:15 against Kazakhstan and 35:20 against Ukraine) gave the Brazilian squad an additional boost ahead of the top-notch clash with Spain but there the South American side failed to secure any points Both teams progressed further to the main round at the last World Championship 2021 held in Spain but now are back in the President's Cup and have to search for newfound ambition Despite their results until the end of Denmark/Norway/Sweden 2023 both Kazakhstan and Congo are now sure their worst placement at the world flagship competition Kazakhstan lost all three Group G matches on a double-digit margin and managed to score more than 17 goals just against Ukraine (24:37) had more strength in the attack with having four goals more per game on average This will be the third time these two countries face off at the World Championship In 2007 Congo won 27:26 but Kazakhstan got their revenge eight years later claiming a 36:24 victory By

realistic & innovative ideas The performance of new and existing jack-ups and the Port of Frederikshavn have today signed a historic agreement in which the parties commit to take their share of the responsibility for making Gothenburg-Frederikshavn the world's first fossil fuel free ferry line of its kind with two battery-powered Stena Elektra vessels launched by 2030 With almost 90 percent of the global trade being ocean shipping efficient and environmentally friendly passenger and freight transport by sea is crucial to achieving the climate goals and the Port of Frederikshavn today signed an agreement aiming to accelerate the transformation of the transport sector by deploying two battery powered Stena Elektra ferries on the Gothenburg-Frederikshavn route by 2030 and making the necessary investments on shore Stena Line has earlier launched the Tranzero Initiative together with the Volvo Group The aim is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions linked to the Port of Gothenburg - the largest port in the Nordic region - by 70% by 2030 Today's agreement with the municipality and port of Frederikshavn completes the chain "Our ambition is to lead the development towards fossil fuel free shipping and sustainable transport at sea That is why we are investing in new technologies and various alternative fuels We are already ten years ahead of the international shipping industry's target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions but with Stena Elektra we are taking another big step on Stena Line's sustainable journey on the road to a completely fossil fuel free operation," says Stena Line's CEO Niclas Mårtensson who is also a member of the Swedish Government's Commission for Electrification Stena Line aims to reduce its total carbon emissions with 30 percent by 2030 and the new Stena Elektra ferries play an important role in getting there it will take more than just battery powered vessels the Port of Frederikshavn commits to securing the necessary infrastructure in the port and its surroundings on the Danish side "The Port of Frederikshavn shares the high and green ambitions that make this project possible The city has also shown that it has a unique capacity for change in its DNA which is evident not least in its sustainability work When we are now taking steps towards making the Gothenburg-Frederikshavn line completely independent of fossil fuels is not only positive for us but for the entire Kattegat region," says Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen The ferries will be the world's first fossil fuel free RoPax vessels their size with a capacity of 3,000 lane meters and  1,000 passengers Already in 2018 Stena Line took the first step on their battery journey and invested in battery hybrid power on Stena Jutlandica currently operating on the Gothenburg-Frederikhavn route This has so far resulted in a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 1,500 tonnes per year equivalent to the annual emissions of 600 passenger cars The Frederikshavn Municipality is also committed to participating in the creation of a sustainable connection between Sweden and Denmark with the two Stena Elektra vessels "Stena Elektra is a fantastic project for Frederikshavn We know from experience that when the municipality leads the way the business community as well as private individuals follow in our green footsteps Our town and Stena Line have had a close relationship for a long time but this ambitious agreement is not only important for us - it also has ripple effects throughout Denmark," says Birgit Hansen chairman of the municipal

What are the biggest challenges in your everyday work national and international politicians right now the number of female politicians is rising For us women it is important to claim our space in the public debate If I were to name a strong and impressive female international politician I would mention the Danish EU commissioner Margrethe Vestager My biggest challenges - I would say economy we have some quite comprehensive economic challenges among other reasons because we have limited educational opportunities we have a demographic development with a rising number of seniors our great challenge is to manage rising expenditures and a declining revenue An ongoing challenge which we deal with every day You have been mayor of Frederikshavn since 2014 How has the municipality changed over this period Looking at the municipality as an administrative unit We have consolidated and achieved stability We usually say that we are part of ‘production Denmark’ (the national industrial production sector) and we aim to follow four growth tracks: the maritime track the energy production/facilitation track and the tourism track I have witnessed positive development on all tracks Many of our companies understand how to adapt and are switching from black energy (oil and coal) to green energy More jobs are created in our ports – and today we have more jobs there than we had when we still had two major shipbuilding yards (now closed) the workplaces in the maritime sector are distributed among many small and medium-sized companies rather than a few large companies and thus we have greater resilience as regards business closures And we have utilized our geographical position near the ocean highways and between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe very well in recent years as well as strengthened our international position Frederikshavn has been very successful in attracting and integrating new citizens from Eastern Europe and beyond tell us more about the social programme of the Municipality it is first and foremost our many local businesses who employ our new citizens and thereby help us keep them as residents in our municipality who help new citizens establish social

Three months later, the wind turbine reached its nominal power rating of 15 MW the unit set a world record for the most power output by a single wind turbine in 24 hours producing 363 megawatt-hours in that period “The type certificate is a pivotal milestone It proves that the V236-15.0 MW is ready for commercial use and compliance with regulations,” said Anne Vedel Product Solutions & Integration at Vestas The blade moulds for the V236-15.0 MW prototype have been developed at Vestas’ blade factory in Lem and the 115.5-metre-long prototype blades have been manufactured at the company’s offshore blade factory in Nakskov The prototype nacelle has been developed and assembled at the offshore nacelle factory in Lindø port of Odense and grid system integration has also started at the LORC test facility in Denmark The prototype stretches 280 metres into the air and has a production output of 80 GWh/year The turbine will make its offshore debut in 2024 at the Frederikshavn

by 2015 to be the first city in the world to run on alternative energy," Frederikshavn mayor Erik Soerensen said The goal was born out of trauma when Frederikshavn was "sucked dry a decade ago by the closure of the shipyards which left 7,000 people jobless," he said "At the time we decided to fight for our survival to find innovative solutions with companies to create new opportunities and jobs And this project is part of our survival strategy," he said Standing on the roof of city hall with its spectacular view of the city and port where passenger ferries link Denmark to Sweden and Norway the mayor points to wind turbines already churning along the coast Wind power is expected to generate 30 per cent of the city's electricity needs the head of the Frederikshavn Energy City project started in 2008 by the city council pioneer" project that presents a "real challenge" The city's current level of green energy is just 24 per cent Yet Mr Kau is convinced the transformation is possible in such a short time administrations and vehicles get their heating electricity and fuel from wind and solar energy and biogas made from wastewater and agricultural waste "It's important for every person to assume their responsibility in the fight against global warming in a world where the enormous consumption of fossil fuels threatens living conditions on earth," Mr Soerensen said Denmark has long been a pioneer in the green movement is already entirely self-sufficient for its electricity 100 per cent of which is generated by wind turbines while 75 per cent of its heating comes from solar panels and biomass But the Frederikshavn project is on a much larger scale "have already signed on to the project and want to invest which is crucial for its success," Mr Kau said The business sector's investments in the project are estimated at between 1.0 and 1.5 billion kroner (€134 to €201 million) "Frederikshavn as a 'green city' will provide opportunities for new environmental technology and jobs," said the mayor Things started moving in 2006 when Danish energy experts selected Frederikshavn as the ideal location to "start an experimental laboratory and show other cities around the world that it is possible to transform consumption of fossil fuels into 100 per cent renewable energy in just a few years with existing technology," the mayor said City officials have since played host to a long line of foreign dignitaries The steady flow of dire climate reports have only confirmed authorities' resolve "Something had to be done and we couldn't wait for the whole world to act," the mayor said The next step was to win over public support since "people wonder whether it's all worth it and want to know if it will create jobs and growth." but also visionaries who are very passionate about the project," Hans Carlsen said at a recent town hall debate to promote the initiative a necessary one that opens our eyes to other sources of energy than oil - which will run out one day," she said But retired heating technician Niels Andersen said "everything will depend on Copenhagen's political willingness to lift the roadblocks that could endanger the success of the project" director of the nearby Strandby heating plant that has 640 solar panels turned towards the sky a key roadblock is Danish car taxes which he feels must be cut The Danish government has so far refused to reduce taxes on hybrid cars which are about 20,000 kroner (€2,685) more expensive than petrol cars "It's hard to ask people to change cars and pay more don't incite motorists to drive green cars," he said Yet Mr Soerensen "wants to believe in the project" "We can succeed if we want and if we get outside help," he stressed Denmark's first biofuels pump station is due to open in Frederikshavn in September please register for free or log in to your account.
