Powerfuel Portland Energy Recovery Facility - Air Emissions & Climate Change What Powerfuel is proposing is not an old school, mass burn incinerator. This project will use the latest technologies to ensure the highest standards of environmental performance. Over 40 similar facilities already operate in the UK and the technology is constantly improving. In December 2019, new emission standards for new and existing plants came into force in the UK. These are the tightest ever standards, further tightening what are already very strict emission limits and ensure that plant will use the Best Available Technology. Many major cities across the World, and a number of port locations, host such technology, including Vienna, London and Copenhagen. They do not deter tourism. Despite using the latest technology, the production of some emissions from the process is unavoidable. A large proportion of the plant is dedicated to capturing air emissions in the exhaust. The ERF is fitted with a series of abatement plant to clean the flue gases. There are likely to be several levels of protection; (1) Electro-static precipitator and (2) a Baghouse (both to collect airborne particles) (3) Activated Carbon and (4) Lime (both to remove pollutants). All of the emissions will be reduced to levels that are categorised as “insignificant” for impact on people, plants or animals. For example 99.9% of particulates will be captured. Given the advantages of the local climate, no plume will be visible on 99.5% of days (only on extremely rare particularly cold days). When considering climate change impacts, the plant is a much lower carbon option than the alternatives of landfill or long-distance export. Powerfuel is committed to making this facility a “Net-Zero Project” – and will offset the lifetime emissions from the plant making this a carbon neutral development for its whole life. We think this is appropriate in the era of climate emergency. Offsetting can be “policed” by Dorset Council and carbon neutrality will be delivered with verified emission reduction projects and tree planting. Modern Energy Recovery Facilities are strictly monitored by the Environment Agency which inspects facilities regularly and tightly enforces regulations. Plants must comply with all applicable legislation including the control of emissions. They can only operate with an Environmental Permit from the Environment Agency under the Pollution Prevention and Control regulations, and operators must continuously monitor in real time and report emissions from the plant. It is a criminal offence to fail to comply with t ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQGOQbdxj80

In this video I provide ten facts about air travel, air transport, and the aviation industry taken from https://www.atag.org/facts-figures.html. 10 Facts About Air Travel, Air Transport, and the Aviation Industry At the time of making this video we in the UK have been in lockdown for several weeks but at last the end is in sight. The measures introduced in response to the Coronavirus pandemic have devastated economies and decimated the air travel and tourism industries. Some airlines have collapsed completely while others predict it may take several years for them to restore their businesses to pre-pandemic levels. Airline staff have been made redundant with the inevitable impact on each individual and their families. Some people have rejoiced at the sight of aircraft parked, skies cleared, and airports quietened to the extent that the only flights are air cargo and emergency services. Others are counting the cost in terms of loss of employment, career setbacks, training suspended, and a whole list of problems not least of which is the effect on their mental health. But aircraft will soon be flying again. So whether you're rejoicing at the prospect of aero engines overhead once more or wishing this grounding of fleets could be made permanent, these few facts are something to mull over while you look skyward. The facts were found listed on the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) website at atag.org/facts-figures.html so please visit the site to learn more. You can also follow them on Twitter at @ATAG_aviation. Here are the ten facts. 1. Over 65 million jobs are supported worldwide in aviation and related tourism. Of that figure 10.2 million people work directly in the aviation industry. We tend to think of airline staff as being pilots and flight attendants but the industry also supports the taxi driver that drives you from airport to hotel, and the cleaner who cleans your room while you're at a meeting or lying on the beach. 2. 1,303 airlines (or fewer by now) operate a fleet of 31,717 aircraft (again, probably not as many today) serving 3,759 airports through a route network of several million kilometres managed by 170 air navigation service providers. That's an awful lot of ancillary staff and technology keeping a vital global network alive. 3. In 2019, 4.5 billion passengers were carried by the world's airlines. 4.5 billion people who found a reason to board an aircraft. That's a huge number of willing passengers. 4. Worldwide, flights produced 915 million tonnes of CO2 in 2019, or 2% of the total produced by human activity. Globally, humans produced over 43 billion tonnes of CO2. This includes things like shipping or the Internet, both of which also account for about 2% each. 5. Jet aircraft in service today are well o ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHFdSxMzx4w

Private Pilot Online Course (free preview): https://bit.ly/367Yp4F In this video I briefly answer the question "How to become a commercial airline pilot?" While forecasters may disagree on the numbers it seems highly likely that the demand for commercial pilots will continue for many years to come. If you are young, ambitious, and you have the financial backing then there are opportunities for those reaching for the sky. You may have seen TV documentaries like the one about EasyJet in which young recruits are put through their paces in the right hand seat of the cockpit of an Airbus A320. Here they hope to demonstrate that they do have the required skills to become a permanent member of the crew. Once they have passed the final tests they can look forward to a career path that leads to the position of Captain, and perhaps one day, Instructor. To reach this point they have gone through months of training and spent a great deal of money. Depending on the route taken and your own personal aptitude the final figure is likely to be around £100, 000 from ab initio to 'frozen' (f) ATPL. There are two paths you can take, the integrated and the modular route. The integrated route is the full time study method in which you fully immerse yourself in flying and study until you reach your goal about 18 months later. The big advantage of this path is the continuity of study and training. The modular route allows candidates to study and train at their own pace. The advantage of this path is that it allows flexibility in planning and financing, with breaks in which to earn money for the next stage. Here then is a summary of the steps taken on either path. Of course, this is only a summary that will give you a rough idea of what's required. For the details you are strongly advised to do your own research, consult the CAA website ( or equivalent for your country) , and talk to flight instructors, and of course qualified airline pilots. As with all things in aviation the onus is on you to check the latest information, whether that is the weather, aeronautical charts, or training requirements. The first step for any aspiring airline pilot is to pass a Class 1 CAA medical examination. There is little point in dreaming of a career in commercial aviation if you are unable to pass this essential test of your physiological condition. This is a very thorough examination that includes eyesight and hearing tests. The next step is to obtain a Private Pilots Licence. If you have no flying experience at all then you'll need to complete a minimum of 45 hours of training of which 5 can be on an approved flight simulator. Those 45 hours should include 25 hours of dual flight i.e. with an instructor. You will also need to include 10 hours of solo flight. Five of thes ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXM6pQeuz20

For more info visit my blog: https://benlovegrove.com/uk-to-maldives-flight-time/ For tools & recommended products: https://linktr.ee/redspan I optimise these videos for searches using TubeBuddy: https://www.tubebuddy.com/redspan The UK to Maldives flight time is approximately 11.5 hours depending on which airline you choose and your departure airport. That’s for a direct flight. Some flights stop in the Middle East in Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, to pick up a connecting flight resulting in a flight times of approximately 13-14 hours. You can get there from Heathrow Airport or London Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow aboard Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways. British Airways provides flights to The Maldives through their partner airline, Qatar Airways. You would need to check with your travel agent whether or not you need change planes at these ME stopovers. Most international flights arrive at Velana International Airport (MLE) on Hulhulé Island in the North Malé Atoll and Gan International Airport, though as you can see in the list below, there are three other international airports capable of handling a commercial airliner that would fly directly from Sri Lanka, India, and the rest of the Asian region.
