Europe's carbon market is experiencing a decline in the start of 2024 due to the rapid growth of renewable energy, which reduces the need for fossil fuels. The decrease in carbon prices can be attributed to factors such as increased renewable energy generation, a slowdown in industry, and a drop in demand for natural gas. The installation of solar panels and wind turbines has significantly contributed to the rise of clean energy in Europe. The lower carbon prices may provide an opportunity for companies to decarbonize or purchase permits at a lower cost. [Extracted from the article]

Legislatures in Europe and the U.S. began imposing targets on paper recycling which resulted in the surge of pulp prices.

The paper discusses the relationships between electrical quantities, such as voltages, currents, and frequency, and geometrical ones, namely curvature and torsion. The proposed approach is based on the Frenet frame utilized in differential geometry and provides a general framework for the definition of the time derivative of electrical quantities in stationary as well as transient conditions. As a byproduct, the proposed approach unifies and generalizes the time- and phasor-domain frameworks. Other noteworthy results are a new interpretation of the link between frequency and the time derivatives of voltage and current; and a definition of the rate of change of frequency that includes the novel concept of “torsional frequency.” Several numerical examples based on balanced, unbalanced, harmonically-distorted and transient voltages illustrate the findings of the paper.
