LONDON, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Heren Energy is pleased to confirm the launch of a new spot gas weekend index within European Spot Gas Markets, as of Friday, 7th March, to add to its extensive portfolio of gas pricing benchmarks.

The new NBP Spot Weekend Index is a weighted average price of all the weekend deals reported by Heren Energy at the British gas hub on the final working day immediately preceding the delivery period. Please note that this differs from the existing Heren NBP Weekend Index, which is based on all the weekend deals reported throughout the week preceding the delivery period.

The new NBP Spot Weekend Index is therefore aimed at providing a market value for weekend gas on a nearer-to-delivery basis than the existing Heren NBP Weekend Index.

LONDON, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Unite, Regional Officer, Graham Tran says,

"This is a devastating blow to workers onshore in Shell. We have always believed that Shell was not committed to the North Sea. This clearly appears to be the case.

It's outrageous that workers had to hear about these redundancies whilst sitting at their breakfast tables. We expect Shell to provide assistance to the workers to seek jobs elsewhere in the industry.

The North Sea oil and gas industry has an exciting future ahead but this is a future without Shell. Unite welcomes the new operators to the North Sea and looks forward to working with them and the original committed players.

Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

Eighteen-year-old Sören Wolf was born with only one hand but when it comes to a prosthetic second one, he's enthusiastic about both the “i-LIMB” and the ”Fluidhand.”

The new “i-LIMB” prosthetic hand developed and distributed by Scottish company “Touch Bionics” has distinct advantages over similar competitive models. Complex electronics and five motors contained in the fingers enable every digit of the i-LIMB to be powered individually. A passive positioning of the thumb enables various grip configurations to be activated. The myoelectric signals from the stump control the prosthetic hand; muscle signals are picked up by electrodes on the skin and transferred to the control electronics in the prosthetic hand.

HELSINKI, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Wärtsilä has secured an order for an engine-driven combined heat and power (CHP) plant that will run on the liquid biofuel, which is extracted from the seeds of the jatropha plant.

The plant is to be located in an agricultural area in Merksplas, Belgium. The plant will be owned by Greenpower NV, a joint venture between Thenergo (50%), the Belgian developer of sustainable energy projects, four local agricultural companies (40%), and a private investor (10%). Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled to begin in February 2009.
