Biomass plants

Government

Biomass power plants: redundant or inevitable?
With biomass plants, the government wanted to ensure that the climate targets would be met. The government set aside 10 billion euros for the construction of 628 biomass plants. Objections to the biomass plants soon arose: they would not be as CO2-neutral as was assumed and there would be more useful ways to use the biomass.

The first popsicle
In 1905, the popsicle was invented by eleven-year-old Frank Epperson. He made a drink with water and some soda powder that he stirred through with a stick. Because his mother told him to go to sleep, he left the drink. When he woke up the next morning, it had frozen and the drink with the stick in it was frozen too. This was the first popsicle.

Royal vacation during the corona crisis
In the autumn vacations of 2020 during the corona pandemic, the king wanted to go on vacation to Greece with his family. Stricter corona rules had just been announced and vacations were advised against, but what the king did was not forbidden.

Does robotisation work in theory?
In this project, a new innovative pharmacy model, Big Data and Computing, was developed with the use and consideration of robotisation and extensive automation. This new form of pharmaceutical care was perceived as more pleasant by patients due to the personal approach and also showed better results. Despite the positive results for patients, wholesalers did not want to cooperate.
