00:00:00.264 --> 00:00:04.583
Today, I took a look
at the production in Kronoterm.

00:00:05.412 --> 00:00:09.173
First time for real,
even though I've been here before.

00:00:09.294 --> 00:00:13.989
Why is this so important?
Kronoterm is one of,

00:00:14.110 --> 00:00:18.684
but in fact the largest Slovenian
company producing heat pumps.

00:00:18.805 --> 00:00:20.405
With a long tradition.

00:00:20.526 --> 00:00:23.702
A family business that has
long since outgrown Slovenia

00:00:23.823 --> 00:00:25.516
and is successful
throughout Europe.

00:00:25.637 --> 00:00:28.008
Above all, it is a company
that constantly invests

00:00:28.129 --> 00:00:29.958
in development and new trends.

00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.602
With the green breakthrough
that is necessary,

00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:36.001
and with the energy crisis
just around the corner,

00:00:36.122 --> 00:00:41.187
Slovenia can only be happy
to have such a company.

00:00:41.308 --> 00:00:46.695
Because it will make green
transition easier for many people.

00:00:46.908 --> 00:00:49.707
One of the things
we talked about today is

00:00:49.828 --> 00:00:57.228
how Kronoterm could be
one of the agents of transformation

00:00:57.349 --> 00:01:01.536
also of remote heating systems
in Slovenia with the aim of

00:01:01.657 --> 00:01:06.073
getting rid of dependence on
Russian gas as quickly as possible.

00:01:06.194 --> 00:01:09.916
In Slovenia, we have
knowledge that we can use

00:01:10.037 --> 00:01:13.109
to carry out
not only the green transition,

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:17.505
but also independence
from Russian gas.

00:01:20.296 --> 00:01:23.626
Bogdan,
would you like to say something?

00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:25.610
Wait, wait.

00:01:29.565 --> 00:01:34.707
We at Kronoterm are very happy
and honoured by this visit.

00:01:36.812 --> 00:01:41.496
Of the Slovenian Prime Minister

00:01:42.116 --> 00:01:45.508
as well as Minister Bojan Kumer.

00:01:46.701 --> 00:01:49.096
Why? We value
both of them very much,

00:01:49.217 --> 00:01:52.610
because they come
from the field of energy,

00:01:52.731 --> 00:01:54.932
in which we also operate.

00:01:56.399 --> 00:01:59.890
Why do we think
this is important?

00:02:00.011 --> 00:02:05.192
Because at Kronoterm we
have been developing solutions

00:02:05.313 --> 00:02:08.302
based on heat pumps
for 30 years.

00:02:08.423 --> 00:02:13.497
Here we see that these
solutions can be a great tool

00:02:13.618 --> 00:02:19.702
during the green transition or
decarbonization of the heating sector.

00:02:20.205 --> 00:02:22.300
As well as achieving the goal

00:02:22.421 --> 00:02:26.595
of the greatest possible
energy independence of Slovenia

00:02:26.716 --> 00:02:28.389
in the field of heating.

00:02:28.509 --> 00:02:33.423
Heat pumps use the heat
of the earth, air or water,

00:02:33.551 --> 00:02:35.982
which we have
in abundance in Slovenia.

00:02:36.103 --> 00:02:41.895
To power them,
we need a bit of electricity,

00:02:42.016 --> 00:02:45.002
which we also know how
to produce ourselves.

00:02:45.123 --> 00:02:51.995
That's why we think this technology
is one of the key ones

00:02:52.116 --> 00:02:54.700
in the field of green transition.

00:02:55.102 --> 00:03:00.194
In addition, we have the know-how
and production in Slovenia.

00:03:00.315 --> 00:03:04.064
That is why we are
happy about today's visit.

00:03:05.205 --> 00:03:12.098
Thank you very much. -Did you
come to any agreements today?

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.996
We talked about setting up
a pilot project as soon as possible

00:03:18.117 --> 00:03:20.705
to transform the remote system,

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.502
to showcase in reality

00:03:24.623 --> 00:03:28.614
how we can use Slovenian know-how
and Slovenian natural resources,

00:03:28.735 --> 00:03:30.735
air, water and sun,

00:03:30.856 --> 00:03:35.208
to restructure
remote heating systems.

00:03:35.329 --> 00:03:40.091
We have talked about it and
we will continue to talk about it.

00:03:40.212 --> 00:03:42.591
I believe that
by the end of this year

00:03:42.712 --> 00:03:46.785
we will be able to present
actual projects to the public.

00:03:46.906 --> 00:03:50.354
Since we always work double-track,
I would just like to say this.

00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:52.786
Next, we are visiting
the Velenje Coal Mine,

00:03:52.907 --> 00:03:54.907
where we are looking
for solutions for today.

00:03:55.297 --> 00:03:58.593
Kronoterm is the company

00:03:58.714 --> 00:04:00.714
where we are looking
for solutions for the future.

00:04:00.835 --> 00:04:03.190
We are doing
both at the same time,

00:04:03.311 --> 00:04:06.681
because that's
the only real way forward.

00:04:07.302 --> 00:04:08.797
Thank you very much.
