'Putin's decision to cut gas deliveries to Denmark is pure blackmailing and completely unacceptable.'

“We stand firm in our refusal to pay in rubles, and we’ve been preparing for this scenario,” Orsted chief executive officer Mads Nipper said in a statement. The company “continues to work on a phased withdrawal from Russian hydrocarbons, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.” While that’s just a fraction of EU’s gas imports, it accounts for more than 80% of the 24 terawatt-hours Denmark imported last year. That’s less than 0.8% of what the Russian company supplied to the European Union last year. Shell Energy Europe has a contract with Gazprom for gas supplies to Germany of as much as 1.2 billion cubic meters a year, according to the Russian exporter. About 20 billion cubic meters of gas supplies have been cut off, about 15% of Europe’s pipeline imports from Russia.

Denmark's largest energy company says Russia cut off its gas supply because it refused to pay in rubles.

The 27-nation bloc has relied on Russia for 25% of its crude and 40% of its natural gas. Russia's move means that Denmark must purchase more gas on the European gas market, the company added. Russia previously halted natural gas supplies to Finland, Poland and Bulgaria for refusing a demand to pay in rubles. Moscow offered customers receiving its natural gas to establish an account in dollars or euros at Russia’s third-largest bank, Gazprombank, then a second account in rubles. The agency said that Denmark losing its supply would not have immediate consequences “We stand firm in our refusal to pay in rubles, and we’ve been preparing for this scenario,” Ørsted CEO Mads Nipper said.

Oracle's transportation management system offers a solution that allows transportation planners to see estimated emissions – carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, ...

Some of Oracle’s customers need to be able to calculate the miles driven in the province, so that they can adhere to the regulatory requirements. The TMS estimates the cost of a trip inclusive of a carrier’s rate for the lane along with estimated accessorial and fuel surcharges. This tool can also be used to estimate transportation emissions in advance of any shipments. Calculating estimated fuel use is based on estimated miles in a trip, the weight of the load, and the type of equipment. A transportation management system (TMS) allows a shipper or carrier to plan the most cost-effective set of shipments that meets service level goals. According to the environmental protection agency, in the US, the transportation sector accounts for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions.

COPENHAGEN — The flow of natural gas to Denmark via Germany remained steady on Wednesday, despite Gazprom's decision to halt supplies, data from Danish ...

Russian energy giant Gazprom cut off gas supplies to top energy companies in Denmark and Germany after they refused to pay in the mandated Russian ruble.

Nations have been bracing for an end to their Russian-supplied gas following Moscow’s March mandate and Dutch energy company GasTerra said this week it expected its supplies to be cut off. The cuts to German gas supplies were significantly less impactful, as Gazprom provided less than two percent of the country’s annual natural gas needs. Russian energy giant Gazprom on Wednesday said it had completely cut off its gas supplies to two reigning energy companies in Denmark and Germany after they refused to pay in rubbles.

Milk carton “use-by” dates soon may be a quaint relic. A new Cornell study finds that consumers like QR codes, better depicting how long milk is drinkable ...

“During two-month study, over 60% of customers purchased the milk with the QR code, showing a considerable interest in using this new technology,” Lau said. She wanted to assess consumer acceptance for QR code technology that may one day replace the static best-by or sell-by dates commonly found on food products. The environment is affected too. Smart refrigerators ultimately could also tell consumers about a suggested recipe that uses the products in the refrigerator that are close to the end of shelf life, he said, “This type of new digital food system infrastructure can reduce food waste.” Not only could the QR codes accurately inform consumers on drinkability and dynamic pricing, he said, but the technology exists where smart milk cartons could communicate with smart refrigerators to inform a household of the need for fresh milk. “This revealed that the use of QR codes on food products can be an innovative way to address the larger issue of food waste.”

Denmark has vast reserves of natural gas but closed one of its biggest gas fields in Tyra in September 2019 for renovations. Ørsted said that there wasn't a direct gas pipeline from Russia to Denmark so Russia couldn't directly cut off the country's gas supplies. "At Ørsted, we stand firm in our refusal to pay in rubles, and we've been preparing for this scenario, so we still expect to be able to supply gas to our customers," CEO Mads Nipper said. Gazprom said on Wednesday morning local time that it had "completely" stopped supplies to Ørsted, Denmark's largest energy company because it hadn't paid in roubles. Denmark says it doesn't expect the move to significantly impact its energy security. In late March, President Vladimir Putin said Russia would require "unfriendly" countries that had imposed sanctions on Moscow to pay for its gas in rubles.

General Motors Co on Wednesday said it will sharply cut prices on its electric Chevrolet Bolt after the Detroit automaker had halted sales for six months ...

The company has been lobbying Congress to extend a $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases. Bolt sales in 2021 hit a high of 24,828 vehicles. The Bolt EUV will start at $28,195 down from $35,695.

OK, not everyone can save on razor blades, but making a series of small cuts will add up to a surprisingly weighty monthly saving.

These days EV manufacturers like Tesla and Rivian are raising the prices of vehicles at an alarming rate, but GM decided to do the complete opposite.

Chevy’s high-end Bolt EUV Premium model no longer costs $39,000 either, and GM lowered the 2023 model to start at $32,695. The 2023 Bolt EUV in the LT trim will run you around $28,200, which again is 18% lower than last year. Additionally, the Chevy Bolt EV (2LT trim) is packed with leather seats, lane-change alerts, and other upgrades and will see a similar 16% discount for the new model year.

"During two-month study, over 60% of customers purchased the milk with the QR code, showing a considerable interest in using this new technology," Lau said. A new Cornell University study finds that consumers will use the QR codes -- to better depict how long the milk is drinkable and create substantially less agricultural and food waste. She wanted to assess consumer acceptance for QR code technology that may one day replace the static best-by or sell-by dates commonly found on food products. The environment is affected too. Not only could the QR codes accurately inform consumers on drinkability and dynamic pricing, he said, but the technology exists where smart milk cartons could communicate with smart refrigerators to inform a household of the need for fresh milk. The "use-by" and "best-by" dates printed on milk cartons and gallon jugs may soon become a thing of the past, giving way to more accurate and informative QR codes.
