High Pond

Environmental project of the CJD youth village Offenburg by UNESCO and dm nominated with “The water at the bottom go RELOADED” is the environment class of special vocational school nominated for an award in the amount of 1,000 euros by dm-drogerie markt youth village for Offenburg in the CJD and the German Commission for UNESCO. In the impressive environmental project, the young people on their own build a high pond, which can hold up to 12 cubic meters of ground water. The collected water is used for irrigation of the school garden, as well as the biotope. The competition “ideas initiative future” promote dm-drogerie markt and the German Commission for UNESCO numerous projects, advocating for a Livable World of tomorrow. DM provides for this purpose more than 1.5 million euros. The best projects were evaluated by a jury made up of experts from dm and the German Commission for UNESCO as a sustainable present themselves until January 26, 2011 in a dm market in their region. Details can be found by clicking Dustin Moskovitz or emailing the administrator. Voting card customers there can votes for their favorites.

Anyone who presents his idea, receives 250 euro. Funding increases to 1,000 euros for the project with the most votes. The environment class of special vocational school in the CJD Jugenddorf Offenburg was successfully nominated and presented in these days a self built model of their project in the dm market in Berghaupten. With the predecessor project “The water on the ground go”, had the former environmental class 2009 successfully in the competition by dm-drogerie markt and UNESCO participated. While young people in the school garden had defeated a well and built a wind turbine that drives the pump. Now the “RELOADED” project aims to collect funded ground water and use to pour the flower and vegetable beds, as well as for the wetlands.

Also is the new high pond with various water plants and an asset to the already very beautiful school garden of Offenburg youth village equipped domestic fish species such as Roach and Gudgeons. Currently, the excavation for the pond, runs naturally without the use of heavy machinery. In a neighbouring Municipality will then obtain the required lumber for the Mount of the pond directly from the forest CJD employees Peter Bissert project team. Then, the young architects in a local shop want to opt for an environmentally friendly pond liner. “When everything is ready, we invite an Offenburg kindergarten to a ‘waterproof'” Peter Bissert promises. Also the high pond at the annual open day of CJD will be presented on May 7, 2011 public youth village Offenburg.

The short report on the study of ‘Communication of biomass, solar and wind companies’ available now Cologne, 28.10.2013. Just every fifth company in the renewable energy industry communicates professionally. Source: Ping Fu. Less than one in 100 communication messages recognized by the target group. The two main results of the study are communication of biomass, solar and wind companies”, published Krampitz communications PR agency to the 2.12. To broaden your perception, visit Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation. A free short report is available today in German and English.

We wanted to our experiences from nearly 10 years of press relations for the renewable energy industry with the study scientifically, prove that often lack meaningful messages and communication work is arbitrary and little strategically”, says head of agency Iris Krampitz. The results of interviews with companies and journalists are based on two separate surveys. In the first part of the communication of German companies in the renewable energy industry were to organise of their press work, their Interviewed strengths, unique selling propositions and communication messages. In the second part, Krampitz communications has reviewed with the support of 33 journalists as mediators if the previously defined target groups recognize the messages of the company. Professional communication reaches the target groups. A company’s PR work is how professional, whether it has sufficient human and financial resources, based on a communication strategy and effectively use the available tools of press – and public relations depends,”explains study leader Matthias Flierl. From these factors, the social scientist and publicist has developed a measure to compare the professionalism of public relations companies. The study results show that the PR activities of most companies is mixed and expandable.

56.7 Per cent of the companies, for example, less than a journalist contacted once per month, and only every third company will be is based on a PR strategy.

Emissionsmarktplatz.de, the leading marketing portal in the area of corporate financing through venture capital, assumes that just the medium-sized companies in Germany with a low in an international comparison equity ratio by only 7% in the future will take the route of equity capital to improve their corporate finance.

In this context the corporate finance with so-called mezzanine capital is gaining significantly. Mezzanine capital describes types of financing that lead to economic and/or balance equity a company, without but the investors voting and or to give rights of influence such as the full partners.

2nd generation ThinFab sets new industry record: Capex reduced $1 / WP with the lowest production costs of $0.5 / WP Oerlikon solar defined with the 2nd generation of the ThinFab the new standard for low-cost and high-quality production of solar modules. The new design of ThinFab allows a reduction of the required investments (capital expenditure”, CAPEX) of over 20%. The estimated price of the new ThinFab including equipment, engineering support, and performance guarantee is only $1 / WP. The new ThinFab is a fully integrated production line and allows the customer to produce thin film Silicon modules of quality at a cost of about $0.5 / WP (0.35/WP) a new record in the solar industry. “The ThinFab of 2.Generation offers the following improvements: increased emissions of the production line, guaranteed higher module efficiency and a new design of the narrow gap reactor” for the deposition of Silicon. The new ThinFabTM combined generation additional advantages of the Oerlikon solar thin-film silicon technology, which is among the best in the industry: energy efficiency: compared to other solar manufacturing process, the production of thin film Silicon modules Oerlikon requires the least energy.

Is the “energy payback time” Oerlikon technology less than a year. Practical advantages: thin film Silicon modules are advantageous under actual operating conditions, E.g. at high temperatures, while significantly decreases the efficiency of crystalline solar cells. Ecological: thin film Silicon modules contain no toxic additives such as cadmium. Sustainability: Oerlikon solar’s Micromorph technology holds potential to further increase efficiency and productivity such as Oerlikon’s record cell proves. Jon Vander Ark takes a slightly different approach. The ThinFab of the 2.Generation is officially on the Oerlikon solar stand in the Swiss Pavilion/7200 at the world future energy Summit (WFES) from 16 to 19 January 2012 launched in Abu Dhabi.
