The International Equestrian Federation is showing how sporting events can support sustainability.
国际马术联合会向人们展示，运动比赛也可以帮助可持续发展。
We had a vision to do something for making a cleaner world. And we didn't have a clue how to start.
我们希望可以做一些事情，让这个世界更加清洁，我们之前不知道如何开始。
But then we jumped into a sponsorship and partnership with Fortum, big international energy company and they came up with this manure invention.
之后我们选择了一家赞助商和合作商，它就是富腾，一家大型的国际能源公司，他们想出了马粪的创意。
Horse manure power helped heat the Helsinki International Horse Show in 2017.
马粪能源在2017年为赫尔辛基国际马展提供能源。
The project grew and the next year, 235 horses produced 112 tons of manure which fueled 168 megawatts of electricity.
该项目开始发展，并在第二年，235头马提供了112吨马粪，这些提供了168兆瓦电能。
That's all the electricity needed at the four-day event with a little leftover for heating twenty-six small flats in Helsinki for a month.
这些点足够提供4天赛事的电能，剩余的一些电量可以为26家公寓提供一个月电能。
Something else does need to be done because with all the oil and the gas pollution it's really not good.
我们还需要做一些其他的事情，因为石油和天然气污染实在是太糟糕了。
So it's really cool that from horses we can actually get electricity.
所以通过马粪来提供电能是很酷的想法。
The main manure-to-electricity powerplant for the show is Fortum Jarvenpaa. It provides heat for 1,250 customers in the area.
为该赛事提供马粪到电能的发电厂是富腾的“Jarvenpaa”，它为这一地区的1250名消费者提供电能。
During the event, Fortum HorsePower delivered wood-based bedding for the more than 200 horses staying in temporary stalls at the ice hall.
在赛事期间，富腾的马粪能源会为住在冰宫中暂时马厩的200多匹马提供木制垫草。
The manure-bedding mixture is then hauled to the power plant where it's utilized in electricity production.
这些马粪和垫草的混合物会被运到发电厂，之后产生电能。
An estimated 135 tons of manure-bedding mixture will be created during this year's event.
预计今年的赛事会产生135吨马粪赫尔垫草的混合物。
