Los grandes titulares hablan de brotes verdes que para la mayoría de los ciudadanos no acaban de llegar. Málaga cerró el pasado mes de noviembre con 195.672 desempleados, 1.954 personas más que el mes anterior. Las filas del Servicio Andaluz de Empleo (SAE) siguen a rebosar de trabajadores desesperados por conseguir un trabajo. Muchos de ellos no cobran ya ninguna ayuda y son muchas las familias en las que ninguno de sus miembros está en activo. Ante este panorama, conocer los sectores con mejores porcentajes de oferta con respecto a la demanda se hace indispensable para tratar de encontrar una salida.

Bankrolls First European LNG-Powered Hopper Barge

Mworld


The EU’s TEN-T Programme will co-finance with over €1.5 million the construction of the first in Europe hopper barge powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The LNG fuel could help reduce air pollution caused by barge transport services.

Hopper barges carrying sand dredged from ports are most often using conventional, more polluting fuel than accepted by the European regulation for future shipping services (2050 onwards).

This project is addressing the European requirements to reduce maritime transport emissions by constructing an LNG-powered hopper barge in the ports of Bremerhaven and Bremen in Germany, the EU Commission said in a release.
