at the 2014 World University Cycling Championship Kathrin Hammes from Germany won the women’s race Petr Vakoc (CZE) took his second gold at this WUC.  It was also a good race day for the host riders who won another three medals the UCI’s judges decided to cut one lap of the race From the very first meters of the race a small group of cyclists took the lead Katarzyna Solus-Miśkowicz and Martyna Klekot Also the silver medalist of the time trial Kathrin Hammes was present in that group And these three student-athletes battled it out for the medals because it is my first start on the road after a two years break So I am really satisfied with my result “ a student at The Holy Cross University in Kielce “Time trial is not my favourite competition the University of Freiburg student-athlete added Few minutes after their start rain began to fall “It wasn’t the longest race in my career but the weather conditions were really tough And Sosnówka … It’s a huge challenge to climb this hill In the beginning Dutch cyclists were very active the time trial gold medalist from the previous day He left no room to his rivals and pocketed his second gold in Jelenia Góra Tim Gebauer (GER) finished after him and Emanuel Piaskowy (POL) ended third the Czech Republic leads with two gold medals Germany is second with 1 gold and 3 silver medals Host country Poland is in third place with 1 gold The mountain bike competition starts on Saturday 12 July Women’s Road Race Men’s Road Race © International University Sports Federation the signed contract proves the strengthening of good cooperation between the two market leaders who have been closely working together for some time due to the growing importance of the use of recyclates in the production of final products “We are a company that meets the needs of our customers in terms of the use of recycled materials in the production process but we are also aware of the importance of engaging in the implementation of the circular economy idea As one of the plastics manufacturers in Poland we are aware of the great responsibility that rests on us which is why we striving to become a leader in achieving sustainable development goals” Tomasz Mikulski from ML Polyolefins speaks in a similar vein emphasizing common non-business goals that connect both companies: “I am glad that our companies share the same values finding deeper meaning in our cooperation – reduction of the amount of plastic waste recycling of secondary materials or empowering our sustainability by minimise the carbon footprint We continue our joint activities in the field of the circular economy taking care every day to provide our partner with a product that meets his expectations.” The cooperation of both enterprises so far has resulted in the introduction to the market portfolio of final products with significant percentage of recyclate input which was possible by pulling together on the innovation and improvement of materials used in processing Monika Łagońska from Jelenia Plast and Krzysztof Nowosielski from ML Polyolefins point to the most important issues and emphasize that this is not the end of joint projects: “For such a large contract work on it surprisingly did not take very long Both parties are proven partners for each other so determining the details was not labour-intensive and complicated The development of the material took us most of the time because – understandably – we wanted to maintain the aesthetic appearance colour and properties of the product” purchasing department manager at Jelenia Plast Commercial director of ML follow up: “We have some work ahead related to the research and development for new recipes but if the cooperation is as smooth as it has been so far we will start deliveries of new product groups very quickly We realize that such contracts – especially publicly communicated – are closely watched by other companies in the industry which are also trying to follow the path of abandoning the use raw plastics Together with such a valuable partner as Jelenia Plast we will try to point out the benefits of using recyclates and promote their importance in global meaning especially where it is not necessary to use prime materials” If you’re a road trip enthusiast, then you’ve likely already explored the most popular routes, such as Route 66 or the Pacific Coast

The PCPM Foundation has been at the forefront of these efforts, with initial deliveries already reaching the affected areas. Working closely with local fire departments, PCPM ensures that aid is distributed where needed most. A fundraising campaign supported by Wirtualna Polska is ongoing at pcpm.org.pl/flood. – Poland is facing one of its worst natural disasters in decades The PCPM Foundation is committed to providing immediate relief to those affected We thank Wirtualna Polska for partnering with us in this important initiative we can provide the essential support needed – said Dr and firefighters’ protective gear is wearing out quickly the scale of this tragedy is almost unimaginable – said Marek Brzęczek a paramedic with the PCPM Foundation who has been delivering supplies to firefighters in Lądek-Zdrój making cooperation with local services crucial In coordination with the Kłodzko district firefighters PCPM is delivering equipment to remove the effects of the flood Pumps were delivered to OSP Starówka Wrocław The PCPM Foundation manages the Polish Non-Governmental Organizations Fund (POP Fund) which supports small organizations throughout Poland As some organizations supported by the POP Fund operate in areas affected by the floods PCPM has also provided financial assistance to organizations in Jelenia Góra to help flood victims A power outage is another challenge faced in on-site work That’s why we’re sending generators and internet-connecting equipment to various locations to ensure connectivity and better coordinate on-site assistance Such equipment has already been delivered to Stronia Śląska we must recognize that the recovery process will be long The need for support will extend far beyond the immediate aftermath of the floods we’re seeing a tremendous outpouring of support We’re genuinely grateful for all your help and for another demonstration of Polish solidarity I want to emphasize that the impact of these floods on affected communities will be felt for months even a year from now – said Zofia Kwolek a board member of the PCPM Foundation – That’s why continued assistance will be crucial That is why the PCPM encourages to support the flood relief efforts at pcpm.org.pl/flood A 10MW solar farm to be built in Jelenia Góra will have panels arranged in the shape of a city symbol – a deer is a city with a population of around 85,000 located in Lower Silesia Legend has it that Prince Bolesław Krzywousty pursued an injured deer into the area and was so taken by the region’s beauty that he built a fortified castle there in 1108 Project developer Polski Solar says the PV plant will generate enough clean electricity to meet the needs of 4,500 local households. To create the shape of a deer, blue multicrystalline (polycrystalline) solar panels will be set among black monocrystalline modules The facility will be built as part of the  Jeleniogórski Renewable Energy Cluster “Renewable energy clusters are the future of the energy sector. They are of great importance in terms of improving the air quality in the Jelenia Góra Valley, but also due to the reduction of the county’s operating costs,” said (translated) Jacek Ryński vice president of the Polish Solar Holding Foundation Apparently the city is plagued by smog during the winter months It’s not the first solar farm in the world to have panels arranged in the shape of an animal (excluding Mickey Mouse) – one we reported on previously was the Panda solar plant in Datong The panda didn’t quite look like the artist’s impression The uptake of solar panels has been rather sluggish in Poland Around 101 MW of new PV systems were connected to the grid  in 2016, with nearly three quarters of this capacity being residential and commercial systems. By May of last year total cumulative solar capacity in the country had reached nearly 200MW Coal is still king of the power sector of Poland – and also the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions The country has a renewable energy target of 15% by 2020, but there have been doubts as to whether that will be achieved. In a report published last March, Ecofys projected a range between 10.0% and 13.8% overall renewable energy share in 2020 a recently approved scheme may help solar power and other forms of renewable energy along the European Commission approved granting of State support to producers of electricity from renewable sources Small installations with a capacity of up to 500kW will be eligible to receive a feed-in tariff and larger installations will receive a premium on top of the market price of electricity The scheme will be financed by a surcharge on electricity consumers and there will be some breaks for large energy consumers “The Polish support scheme will increase the share of green energy in Poland’s energy mix and help the country’s energy transition,” said Commissioner Margrethe Vestager “It will also preserve the global competitiveness of companies that are heavily energy dependent.” The scheme has a budget of around €9.4 billion (around AUD $14.41 billion) Michael caught the solar power bug after purchasing components to cobble together a small off-grid PV system in 2008 He's been reporting on Australian and international solar energy news ever since I understood that monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels could not be mixed where is the pikkie of the German-Japanese hybrid system – the Miki Maus one If dissimilar panels are connected to the same MPPT on an inverter the performance of all the panels will be pulled down to that of the weakest This means it’s a bad idea to mix and match panels for no reason So either the two different types of panels either won’t be attached to the same MPPTs or they are willing to take a small hit to their system’s output in order to have a pretty picture The not very Mickey Mouse looking one is near Florida
