Alternative Energy

Embracing the value of solar technology, UK wire products manufacturer William Hughes is forecast to save approximately £35,000 in energy costs and reduce carbon emissions by 100 tonnes per year following the installation of a optimised SolarEdge PV system at its headquarters in Stalbridge, Dorset.

The UK has great potential to develop a marketplace for Energy Smart Appliances, and this will be critical to meeting the UK’s Net Zero target. Innovation in the manufacturing of smart appliances and controls has already delivered huge steps forward.

Humans have harnessed the power of the wind throughout history. From windmills and their use in food production to sailing ships that date back thousands of years, people have understood the resource that is the unseen force of the wind. And now the Earth faces the threat of climate change and the challenge to reduce global carbon emissions, once again we turn to the wind as a source of energy to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Here, Beth Ra...

Goal seven of the United Nations’ (UN) sustainable goals encourages progress towards integrating renewable energy into buildings, transport and industry. However, connecting renewable energy sources to the grid faces challenges, including the limited current capacity of overhead lines. How can we make the grid more suitable for renewable energy integration? Here, Robert Glass, Head of Marketing at Exel Composites, explains how composit...

Solar power is currently the UK’s third largest renewable energy generator, but inefficiency challenges its growth. Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of power resistor manufacturer Cressall, has explored how solar panel efficiency can be improved to increase its supply to the grid.

A new paper co-authored by international property consultancy Gleeds, global engineering and design consultancy Arup, global hospitality company IHG, and energy management and automation specialist Schneider Electric has revealed how the hotel industry can tackle the net zero carbon challenge and save millions in the process.

Today’s economy has the potential to become sustainable if companies thought of the world as an island in the middle of an ocean of inhospitable space. This island, our earth, provides us fresh air to breathe, freshwater to produce enough food, and provides an abundant amount of energy to distribute food and to build all the necessary materials around us. All resources on a large island can seem abundant, but they will eventually, become co...

STMicroelectronics has released its 24th sustainability report detailing the 2020 performance.

From powering our homes and hospitals to research facilities and more, the power generation industry did not stop for the pandemic. Instead, it was challenged, and it responded with change. Throughout 2021, we will see many new projects centred around electrification, digitisation and energy storage.

Analog Devices has announced new commitments that advance the Company’s climate strategy, including pledging to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. As part of the Company’s roadmap towards net zero, ADI signed the United Nations’ Business Ambition for 1.5°C pledge and has committed to setting targets to be verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
