Eronen says that by 2023 Polar Night Energy aims to be "a truly global company, constructing sand batteries all over the world". The huge boom in offshore wind power – by 2025 wind energy will cover 25% of Finland's electricity consumption - will help enable this, but there is still "a lot of work to do". Most major supermarkets provide plastic recycling collection points in store for stretchy plastic (such as frozen food bags, carrier bags and bread bags) which normally can’t be recycled from home,” says Helen Bird, plastics expert at government waste advisory body Wrap. The size, depth and weight of the 5000 Series Floor Access Cover makes it suitable for a diversity of applications. It can be used in pedestrian-only areas in residential, commercial and public spaces where easy access to concealed under-floor services is required. The floor access covers, wall access panels, ceiling access panels, linear drainage and architectural metalwork we manufacture at our facility in Hertfordshire, are used in some of the most prestigious buildings in the world. Credentials include ISO 9001 accreditation; the CE Mark for structural steel and numerous testimonials from our customers explaining why they use Howe Green.

Lithium batteries are not suitable for large-scale storage applications, says Yulong Ding, director of the Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage in the UK, adding that they are also inherently flammable. If a year without buying anything new seems too big a challenge, try a month, or buy only secondhand. Livia Firth, founder of sustainability consultancy Eco-Age, follows the “30 wears rule”: ask, “Will I wear it at least 30 times?” before buying. There's a lot of pressure on us scientists and engineers to sort climate change," he says. "I turn that pressure into inspiration, just like I did when I was competing at discus throwing. When you're there in the field, preparing for the next throw, you can't freeze under pressure. I bring the same attitude to my job." Eronen says that "starting a company is a bit like competing in sport: you want to win". Together with Ylönen, he chose to cycle 170km (106 miles) from their home town of Tampere to attend an energy conference in Helsinki in 2018. "All the other participants arrived by car or plane. That made us think: 'we really have to make an impact'." Clothes swaps – known as swishing – are one of the greenest ways to refresh your wardrobe. They offer credits based on the value of the items you bring, which can be swapped for items brought by others. Avoid trends and hunt for quality pieces you’ll wear for years. Find one near you at swishing.com.Any configuration of ducts and branches can be created to provide a tailor-made floor access solution.

Commercial buildings, educational institutions, civic and public buildings subject to pedestrian footfall traffic where permanent access to underfloor facilities and services is required. MANUFACTURED TO REQUIREMENT In the wake of the Ukraine war, Finland is urging the EU to increase its renewables output. "The only way out of the energy crisis is to invest heavily in renewable and emission-free energy production," Finland's prime minister Sanna Marin said in September.This is for a significantly bigger system: 2MW in heating power and 500MWh in storage capacity. That's 10 times bigger than what we have in Kankaanpää," says Eronen. Make the most of seasonal gluts and preserve vegetables in oils, vinegars, chutneys, ketchup and marinades, or freeze them. “Blitz and freeze tomatoes in containers for passata all year round; make kimchi from cauliflower stalks and leaves; use beetroot in jams, vinegars and oil, then chop stalks and leaves to top pastas, pizzas, curries and dal,” says Hunter. All types of timber floors – up to 22mm solid hardwood floors, timber strip flooring, heavy-duty laminate flooring. PERFORMANCE

The battery stores 8 MWh of thermal energy when full. When energy demand rises, the battery discharges about 200 kW of power through the heat-exchange pipes: that's enough to provide heating and hot water for about 100 homes and a public swimming pool in Kankaanpää, supplementing power from the grid. The battery is charged overnight when the electricity prices are lower. Made to your specification between stated maximum and minimum sizes, with no time or cost constraint. The 1050 Series Floor Access Cover from Howe Green is the first choice for demanding external and internal environments subject to heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic where the emphasis on creating an attractive public realm is at the heart of the development and easy access is required to concealed underfloor services.Any configuration of ducts and branches can be created to offer a tailor-made floor access solution. There is no way around it, eating meat sustainably requires a little more effort on our part,” says Fergus Henderson, chef and godfather of nose-to-tail eating. His first rule is to “hug” your butcher: “Support them and ask questions – they are your way in to a positive supply chain. They will also give you access to the insides and extremities, such as kidneys, shanks, feet and glands, which offer so much more possibility and flavour than the fillet.” Whole-animal eating is not about blood and guts, but “respecting the animal enough to realise that, if it has died for you, the least you can do is make use of every part”. Polar Night Energy is in the process of signing a contract to build a second battery for another district heating company in Finland.
