her hometown of Helsingborg who became the first female winner in DP World Tour history at this event two years ago started the day 11 shots behind runaway 54-hole leader Söderberg But as he slipped backwards throughout the afternoon Grant made seven birdies and no bogeys to set the clubhouse target at 17 under And with her countryman Söderberg finishing his final-round 77 with a double bogey at the 18th to miss out on a play-off Grant earned her second DP World Tour title in dramatic circumstances Söderberg finished in joint-second alongside Scotland's Calum Hill on 16 under with Swedish Ladies European Tour star Johanna Gustavsson three shots further back in a tie for fourth with Englishmen Alex Fitzpatrick and Andy Sullivan making four birdies in five holes from the second to close the gap The 24-year-old took dead aim at the ninth to set up a six-foot birdie before holing from 15 feet on the tenth for back-to-back birdies Grant gave herself further chances down the stretch but could not add to her birdie count until the 18th where she chipped in from the bank around the green to finish with a flourish \"Honestly I just tried to go out today and give myself an opportunity I didn't even think that I had the chance of winning - 11 shots is a huge gap have fun and make as many birdies as possible \"And enjoy it with my brother on the bag and being at home \"It turned out to be an incredible day.\" Grant's hole-out birdie on the last proved to be the shot that won her the tournament and saw her become the first woman to win twice on the DP World Tour I think I celebrated it good enough when I was there So I'm not looking back on that wishing it was me on the last hole.\" The Swedish flag featured prominently on the leaderboard as three home players finished in the top four Grant said: \"It’s amazing playing on home soil and seeing a lot of players play so well \"I think it shows all the fans coming out here that we really enjoy playing at home Just finding a way to

support from the EU Innovation Fund This means that Öresundskraft is invited to negotiate the final contract terms and sign an agreement Öresundskraft's application seeks funding of 54 million euros Öresundskraft’s CCS initiative aims to capture and store approximately 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually from the Filbornaverket This initiative is a crucial part of the city’s efforts to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2030 states: – This is an important step in significantly reducing Helsingborg's emissions and lowering our climate footprint Öresundskraft’s carbon capture initiative is critical for the city to become climate-neutral and is an excellent example of how the green transition can make a real difference for the city Öresundskraft's Innozhero project – short for 'Innovation for Zero Emissions in Helsingborg' – involves building a modern carbon capture facility at Filbornaverket it is transported and stored at a depth of at least 800 meters underground where it is mineralized and prevented from returning to the atmosphere The European Commission has selected projects that are considered to have the greatest potential to succeed and provide the most climate benefits These selected projects are now invited to a final phase called the "Grant Agreement," where contract terms will be negotiated and agreements signed between the parties comments: – The news that the EU Innovation Fund is supporting our project is both a strong acknowledgment of the initiative’s potential and an important driver for continuing our work A total of 337 projects applied for support but only 85 projects in Europe were selected With financial support from the EU Innovation Fund we have the resources to make a real climate contribution and support a sustainable future for coming generations I now look forward to the next step in the process where we will negotiate the final contract terms with the European Commission and sign the agreement The stored carbon dioxide not only helps make the district heating production at Filbornaverket in Helsingborg climate-neutral These negative emissions arise when biogenic carbon dioxide is stored and can be used to offset fossil emissions that are difficult to eliminate despite efforts The negative emissions can then be used by companies that need carbon offsets in their portfolio to achieve their own net-zero goals Commercial Manager for CCS at Öresundskraft adds: – We are extremely proud to have developed an initiative that not only ensures long-term climate-neutral district heating and waste incineration but also provides companies and organizations in Helsingborg with a clear opportunity to achieve their net-zero targets together with the city and businesses at the local are leading the way in the necessary climate transition and creating sustainable solutions for the future intensive preparations are underway ahead of the upcoming investment decision required for the CCS initiative to be realized The procurement of construction and storage actors is ongoing and work continues in parallel to secure the necessary permits and financing The final decision on the implementation of the CCS initiative is expected in 2025 – Helsingborg has set ambitious climate goals and the CCS initiative is key to achieving them By combining innovation and local expertise with European support we are putting Helsingborg on the map as a pioneering city when it comes to sustainable solutions The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest programs for financing and showcasing new technologies that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions The fund is focused on supporting projects that demonstrate technologies or products with significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions The fund can provide up to 40 billion euros in support during the period from 2020 to 2030 Link to selected projects: Innovation Fund projects - European Commission Christian Orsing Mayor of Helsingborg Email:

The bond, which is listed on Nasdaq’s Sustainable Bond Market ties its returns to Helsingborg’s ambition of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 we put up a clear and tough target for the climate work that we do other cities around the globe will follow—if so and thereby a benefit for all of us,” said Göran Heimer Group Treasurer for the city of Helsingborg enabling investors to track the progress on the sustainability performance target while providing greater transparency The city of Helsingborg has made progress in curbing greenhouse gas emissions and believes it is possible to reach net-zero emissions by 2035 Göran Heimer acknowledges that the journey will be challenging “Private transportation and the local industry are the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions Electric and heating are the third biggest and the city has a direct influence in this sector The SLB will help fund the city’s efforts to not only reduce greenhouse gas but also increase the quality of life and build a more sustainable society ¨We’re working broadly with these questions within the city's organization and together with important actors in the city in our work with local climate agreements and our innovation initiatives we were finalists in the European Commission's EU Green Capital and now we’re looking at whether we have the potential to become one of the 100 European cities to take the lead in climate change This is an important step in the right direction,” Lars Thunberg Helsingborg opted for a SLB rather than a green bond in which proceeds are earmarked for projects and assets with environmental benefits The SLB route is a better fit for the city’s strategy which goes beyond projects directly controlled by Helsingborg “It’s about a higher quality of life for all within the geographical area of Helsingborg; therefore the SLB format suits us better,” said Heimer the SLB was able to issue at a so-called “greenium,” which refers to the premium bondholders are willing to pay to invest in green securities rather than conventional ones.  “There is a greenium and a bit more,” said Heimer This premium is not a cost for the investor If we achieve our goals and other cities were to follow it is a tremendous gain for all investors lowering the cost of climate change.” “The climate change will affect the investment market; for some for others an investment opportunity,” continued Heimer in this SLB is something we hope will be appreciated by investors [as] it’s hard work lowering the cost of climate change.” Nasdaq’s Marketinsite offers actionable insights on a variety of market-moving topics Learn from our thought leaders who are driving the capital markets of tomorrow These symbols will be available throughout the site during your session These instruments will be available throughout the site during your session Smart Portfolio is supported by our partner TipRanks.

water-polished granite are the creation of the prominent Swedish cultural personality Marianne Lindberg De Geer Her fascination with rabbits dates back to childhood when she discovered the bustling White Rabbit in the fairytale Alice in Wonderland which happens to be the artist’s first name While children are drawn to hugging and playing with the whimsical rabbit sculptures parents may find themselves intrigued by other facets of the artwork especially if they’ve noticed the small plaque on the ground revealing its title: A Study in Unhuman Sexual Expectations [sic] This underscores the tension depicted among the group of rabbits the suggestion of a post-coital state is evoked by their facial expressions Two of the artwork's rabbits are meant to lie on their backs they have been repeatedly propped up by potentially mischievous individuals or well-meaning the municipality must use a crane truck to carefully lower the sculptures each of which weighs approximately 550 pounds (250 kg) back to their intended artistic presentation This can't be done manually as previous attempts have resulted in broken ears Just like real-life rabbits, Lindberg De Geer's figures have been prolific at reproducing, meeting human expectations regarding this behavior. Sculptural relatives can namely be found in some other Swedish cities like Stockholm, Lund, Borås, and Skellefteå yet it’s in Helsingborg where the largest collection of these granite rabbits resides Accessible around the clock and located outside Dunker's Cultural Center it's roughly a 10-minute walk from Helsingborg's train This modern sculpture looks out over the sea and amplifies sound from the inside This 42-foot tribute to the workforce still reminds us to pause and recharge A whimsical display of massive metal sculptures made from recycled materials made from recycled wood and materials found in nature Papier-mâché folk art recognizing horrors of slave trade Rusted humanoid clutching a laptop and trailing cables A family of distorted sculptures stands outside Seoul's former imperial palace An abstract sculpture that will be a work in progress for the next 1,000 years Working to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and nature WWF® and ©1986 Panda Symbol are owned by WWF You are using an outdated browser.

second largest and one of northern Europe's leading container ports Eight million tons of goods were loaded and unloaded here last year The cars in the port have already been electrified and now the first step in electrifying the heavy vehicles has been taken: the investment in four electric terminal tractors from the Dutch company Terberg that will drive containers to and from the boats in the three-kilometer long port Each electric terminal tractor will contribute to an annual reduction in emissions of 5.6 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents Since the tractors do not emit any pollutants such as nitrogen or sulfur oxides the air quality in the port will also improve significantly CEO of the Port of Helsingborg says: “We strive to be the most modern port in the Nordic region and our extensive sustainability work is an important part of that Investments in innovative technology that increase capacity and improve sustainability are a condition for achieving our sustainability goals.” “ABB's Terra DC fast charger is a robust solution that can deliver the high power that the electrical terminal tractors require Thanks to the fact that ABB develops both software and hardware we have a very deep competence in electrification This is something that benefits our customers both locally and globally” sales representative at ABB Electrification in Sweden “This investment is a first important step for the Port of Helsingborg to reach its goal to become completely fossil-free But one of the most significant advantages is a quieter and more ergonomic work environment for employees both driving the tractors and working within their proximity.” the electrical infrastructure has been planned so that the tractors with small charging breaks will be able to handle a full day's production without any longer changings Simulations of the vehicle’s charging cycles have been drafted and logically follow the daily operations schedule and charge when employees are on breaks and ABB’s fast chargers have been placed in locations easily accessible to employees The first phase includes testing of four tractors and four chargers with the port planning to source additional electrified terminal tractors to meet its targets of using completely fossil-free heavy vehicles by 2024 ABB (ABBN: SIX Swiss Ex) is a leading global technology company that energizes the
