More and more electric cars Boom for Battery manufacturer

Status: 06/17/2021 10:13 a.m.

The growing number of e-cars on the streets is causing the battery market to grow strongly. One EU country in particular can catch up significantly with its Asian competition.

From Oliver Feldforth, MR

For years it was talked about, now the boom in electric mobility really seems to be there. Electric cars are very popular at a leading Frankfurt dealership. One seller says that what is delivered to him can also be easily sold.

The electric cars have contributed to the fact that the corona pandemic could not harm the battery market in Germany. Last year there was an increase of 35 percent. “Above all, the volume of the market for lithium-ion batteries has increased enormously,” says Christian Eckert from the Central Association of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry ZVEI. Overall, this segment grew by 63 percent. And that is mainly due to electromobility.

The recycling rate should increase

A battery is only as green as the material and the electricity used to make it. Even the electric car is only as green as the electricity with which it is charged. When it comes to battery recycling, German industry is on the right track, said Christian Rosenkranz, Chairman of the ZVEI Batteries Association. The recycling rate for classic batteries is 80 to 90 percent, while it looks worse for lithium-ion batteries, which are in increasing demand. The industry wants to achieve a rate of 65 percent in four years.

Environmentalists see a need for action. “It is not only in Germany that we have to set high social and ecological standards for the production of batteries,” says Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “The car manufacturers are responsible for this, but politics must set clear rules for all companies.”

Poland leads the way in Europe

Germany imports batteries. The manufacturers from Europe overtook the Asian competition for the first time last year. In Europe, Poland is the leading producer, in Asia it is China, according to Christian Eckert from the ZVEI.

And electromobility will continue to grow. Volkswagen sees it that way too. The car manufacturer plans to set up six battery cell plants of its own in the next few years. According to Ralf Brandstätter, head of the Volkswagen brand, by 2030 at least 70 percent of all new Volkswagens in Europe should be electric vehicles, in North America and China more than half.

Solid-state batteries as the technology of the future

The decision as to which drive for cars comes after the classic combustion engine seems to have been decided for the time being. “The battery-electric drive is the most efficient and significantly more economical than fuel cells and combustion engines,” said Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “With the same amount of renewable electricity, a car with a fuel cell can only go half as far as a battery-electric one.”

In the case of car batteries, solid-state batteries are to replace lithium-ion technology. It does not require cobalt, which under questionable circumstances is mainly extracted in Africa. For environmentalists, electromobility is only part of the necessary turnaround in traffic. And so Greenpeace is also calling for a change in mobility towards an intelligent transport system in which bicycles, buses and trains play a bigger role

German companies and Brexit “A big disappointment”

Status: 16.06.2021 5:08 p.m.

New customs controls, more bureaucracy, additional costs: Brexit is causing many German companies to consider whether they can still maintain locations in Great Britain. By Aylin Dülger, tagesschau.de Little of what Heller makes stays in England. The company from Nürtingen near Stuttgart operates worldwide. The mechanical engineering company exports components that are installed in machines for milling engine and metal parts at the UK site of Redditch in the county of Worcestershire. From there they reach end customers in many different industries. Both export and import are part of day-to-day business. Brexit will put this business to the test. “For a long time we clung to the illusion that in the end a solution based on partnership would emerge,” says Heller boss Klaus Winkler. Instead, the Brexit agreements created a very bureaucratic construct.

The truck takes eight days instead of three

Like many of the small and medium-sized companies that form the backbone of the export-oriented German economy, Heller is now struggling with additional customs controls and bureaucracy. “We have a completely different form war,” says Winkler. “A truck that we send from Nürtingen to England now takes between eight and ten days. We used to do it in three days.”

Klaus Winkler, Head of the Heller Group: “Long indulged in an illusion” The Chamber of Commerce and Industry also moved in April British Chamber of Commerce in Germany a first sobering Brexit balance sheet . Two thirds of the companies surveyed assessed the effects of the new foreign trade rules with Great Britain more negatively than expected at the beginning of the year. More than three quarters of all respondents reported difficulties in moving goods. And almost every fifth company has therefore decided to completely stop foreign trade with the island.

Fear of withdrawal

For Heller, completely forgoing foreign trade with Great Britain is a horror scenario that the company is trying to avert. Business has been slowed down enormously, said Winkler. “We had to convey to our colleagues in Great Britain in a credible manner that we do not intend to question the location in Redditch, but rather to preserve it if it can somehow be done.” In order not to jeopardize its competitiveness, the special machine manufacturer will have to constantly reassess the situation in the near future. Because if the products become too expensive, customers threaten to turn to competitors – the location could no longer be held.

Smaller companies more affected

Smaller companies in particular suffered from the additional administrative effort, according to Ulrich Hoppe, head of the German-British Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK) in London. That makes it no longer economically viable for many to serve the British market. “The medium-sized and large companies that are active in the United Kingdom are of course also struggling with the additional effort, but they can cushion it much better,” explains Hoppe. Despite the additional costs, the British market will remain very important due to its strategic importance. In 2020, Germany exported goods worth 66.85 billion euros to Great Britain. That was around 5.5 percent of total exports. This made the United Kingdom the fifth most important export market for the Federal Republic of Germany. So that German companies do not leave the island in the future, Heller boss Winkler would like to make goods traffic easier . He is hoping for less bureaucracy on the part of the English authorities, so that the additional effort can be reduced to a more bearable level. For the time being, however, disillusionment dominates. Even if Heller wants to stick to its British location: “Overall, Brexit is a big disappointment for us.”

WHO has issued a warning and classified 3 types of meat including grilled meat, processed meat, and moldy red meat on the list of types of meat that are likely to cause cancer for users. So if you want to be healthy, it’s best to keep your mouth shut. The first is barbecue: Grilled meat is one of the favorite dishes of many people. It is attractive not only in its sweet, attractive aroma but also because the taste is really delicious, sweet, hard to refuse. However, grilled meat is indeed one of those delicious but toxic dishes. During the roasting process, the fat flows down to create charcoal smoke, which clings to the meat surface. Furthermore, the proteins, sugars and muscle particles of the meat react with extreme heat to form benzopyrene, a type 1 carcinogen. Most notably, the burnt, burnt part of the meat contains heterocyclic amines with the highest carcinogenic potential. WHO also warns that grilled and fried meats have the potential to cause bowel cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer. The second is processed meat: Including meats such as canned meat, bacon, beef jerky, sausage… In fact, everyone knows that there are many types of additives that can be processed and adjusted. taste and prolong shelf life. However, it is not uncommon for additives that can produce harmful chemicals during processing or cooking. These chemicals can cause cancer. The WHO even classifies processed meat as a food group with a high cancer risk similar to tobacco and industrial smoke. Moldy meat, bacon, and salted meat for too long: Because of being stored for too long in a hot and humid environment, these meats are prone to mold growth. The moldy meat contains aflatoxin – the leading substance in the list of liver carcinogens. There are many people who like to eat meat to mold, according to them, the more moldy, the better, but do not know this meat contains countless dangers. WHO also emphasizes that aflatoxin is a strong carcinogen and can affect all organs in the body, especially the liver and kidneys. Consuming foods containing aflatoxin concentrations of 1mg/kg or more is more likely to cause acute poisoning. Not only that, the risk of liver cancer, aflatoxin is also linked to other types of cancer that are extremely difficult to treat.

EU authority More Piracy in the pandemic

As of: June 8th, 2021 9:10 a.m.

Counterfeit clothing, electronics, cosmetics: According to the EU, product piracy has increased during the pandemic. Recently, counterfeits have been causing problems, especially in the medical field. From Oliver Neuroth, ARD studio Madrid The pandemic has created a huge new market, says Paul Maier, director of the European Observatory on Intellectual Property Infringements. The market for personal corona protective equipment: masks, rapid tests, disinfectants. “We were in a situation in which the industry was not immediately able to create these products in the volume that was necessary for the market. The counterfeiters are incredibly fast.” Just a few days after the lack of good protective masks became apparent last spring, there were tons of offers from China. However, these products, which at first glance appeared to be suitable, turned out to be unusable shortly afterwards because they did not comply with European guidelines. “These people are not the kind of ‘easy criminals’ who are not very dangerous. They belong to the very worst. That also explains why these people were able to react so quickly and in such an organized manner,” says Maier.

Plagiarism worth 120 billion euros

The most common counterfeits include electronics, clothing, toys and cosmetics. In the past year, plagiarism made up almost seven percent of all imports into the EU; it involves goods worth more than 120 billion euros. A good three quarters of the counterfeits came from China. The pandemic also made it easier for product pirates to use their distribution channels, says Maier from the EU Intellectual Property Office. Online retail has been booming for more than a year, with fewer people shopping in stores. “When you hold a fake in your hand, you usually notice straight away: ‘That can’t be the quality I know!’ You don’t see that on the Internet because the counterfeit sellers use the real photographs, “explains Maier. The original product is shown, but a plagiarism is then sent.

Every third person had doubts about the authenticity of a product

Every third consumer in Europe had, according to one study of the EU Office for Intellectual Property when shopping online, doubts whether it is an original or a fake. One in ten says that they have accidentally bought a plagiarism. The expert of the EU authority recommends consumers to buy online only in “Trusted Shops” if possible. And to check that the website has an “https” address, which is considered more secure than the classic “http” pages. Maier also advises buying drugs only from licensed internet pharmacies and never from other sites. Because the network is full of counterfeit medicines. Ingestion can be dangerous. “There is nothing easier to imitate than a pill. You can squeeze it yourself – what is in it, of course, is important. And no consumer can see that.” Counterfeit drugs either contained no active ingredient at all, an incorrectly dosed or even toxic substance.

“Endless Fight”

Finding out who is responsible for plagiarism is extremely difficult, says the expert. “It’s probably a never-ending fight. But you have to fight it.” The EU wants to take more decisive action against product piracy. A few days ago, the Council of Ministers made the fight against organized crime a priority for the next few years. Above all, it is about Internet crime, which also includes counterfeit products.

And most of the mining is located in regions of China, where electricity is produced cheaply by coal-fired power plants. Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin at the end of 2020 when the price of each Bitcoin was below $20,000 and sold 10% in early 2021 when the price of this virtual currency reached $50,000/Bitcoin, earning on a profit of 101 million USD.

Illustration – Photo: Reuters. In a status line (tweet) on the social network Twitter on May 12, Tesla CEO (CEO) Elon Musk suddenly announced that this electric car company stopped accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment when customers buy a car. . This statement by Mr. Musk – who has expressed a pro-crypto stance – shocked investors and caused a sell-off. The reason the world’s second-richest billionaire gave for the reversal is the risks that virtual currencies pose to the global environment. Bitcoin price immediately dropped after Mr. Musk’s tweet was posted. At more than 7:00 am on May 13, Vietnam time, Bitcoin price according to data on Coinmarketcap.com page slipped below $ 50,000, down more than 13% compared to the time 24 hours ago. Many other “hot” virtual currencies also dropped sharply, such as Ethereum down more than 6%, Dogecoin sliding 14%… In February, Musk revealed that Tesla had poured $1.5 billion into Bitcoin and said the company would soon accept Bitcoin as a means of payment when customers buy a car. That information immediately pushed the Bitcoin price up 20%. By March, he said Tesla customers were able to pay with Bitcoin. In a tweet on May 12, Musk said Tesla will not sell a single Bitcoin, but instead intends to use Bitcoin for transactions as soon as Bitcoin mining moves to using other energy sources. more sustainable quantity. “We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use less than 1% of electricity like Bitcoin,” Musk wrote. Bitcoins are “mined” by competing high-performance computers solving complex math problems, and the process consumes enormous amounts of power. The source of electricity for Bitcoin mining is usually thermal power, especially coal-fired power plants, posing a great concern about environmental pollution. At current rates, Bitcoin mining pools used as much energy as the entire Netherlands in 2019, according to data from the University of Cambridge and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Musk himself is a supporter of virtual currencies, and his statements often cause cryptocurrency prices to fluctuate wildly. However, he is also an advocate of clean technology. “Cryptocurrency is a good idea in many ways, and we believe it has a promising future. But that can’t come with a huge loss to the environment,” Musk said. Bitcoin price movement in the last 7 days – Source: Trading View. According to blockchain analysis companies, Bitcoin could in theory be traceable, raising the possibility of “green” Bitcoins having a higher price tag. Stronger climate change policies by countries around the world can also help in this. However, some Bitcoin advocates say that the current financial system – with millions of employees and computers in air-conditioned offices – also uses an overwhelming amount of electricity.

Pediatric patients are examined and hospitalized at the Department of Gastroenterology. After an abdominal ultrasound, the doctor discovered an image of the foreign object resembling a long plastic rod with a long, uniform tube-like structure completely located in the child’s intestine.

Through the above case, the doctors warned that the foreign body is a common dangerous accident in children, especially in children under 2 years old, because foreign objects falling into the airways narrow or completely block the airways. . Accidents usually happen when children eat, smile or eat improperly. In many cases, adults let children eat, play, suck or swallow small foods and objects.

Airway foreign body is an emergency condition, if not handled in time, it can lead to serious consequences such as irreversible brain damage or even death. Therefore, parents with young children need to pay special attention when their children play with objects or foods with high risk of choking, choking because children are easily neglected or swallowed, so there is a risk of choking, choking, choking. suffocate, even lose life if there is no timely emergency.

In addition, be very careful when feeding children or pay attention when children eat foods and fruits with small seeds such as na, corn, beans, peanuts, candy … these are foods. It is very easy for a child to choke and choke on food leading to foreign bodies entering the airways, obstructing the airways and the baby can die immediately before going to the hospital.
