The UK needs hydrogen to achieve net zero goals
The UK Hydrogen Strategy estimates that to meet Net Zero aims by 2050, hydrogen will make up 20―35% of the UK’s final energy demand (250―460 TWh a year).
Engineering teams responding to societal challenges are celebrated
Three global teams delivering telemedicine, clean energy for a community, and a world-renowned robotics control system, have been recognised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) for their teamwork in providing solutions to societal challenges through science, technology, engineering, and maths.
£30m government boost to capture and store more renewable energy
Cutting edge businesses, in locations including Scotland and Nottingham, are set to benefit from a share of £30 million to be at the forefront of designing and testing innovative technology of the future that will modernise our energy system and store renewable energy for later use.
Gentle method allows for eco-friendly recycling of solar cells
By using a new method, precious metals can be efficiently recovered from thin-film solar cells.
Fuel cell versus battery trucks
By 2040, all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) sold in the UK must be zero-emission.
Solar modules for the roof of the ID. Buzz
ABT e-Line has developed solar modules for the roof of the ID. Buzz. Due to the limited roof area and the complex shapes of the solar modules, the effort required for this was previously too high and too cost-intensive. The ID. Buzz, especially the one with a long wheelbase, offers the best conditions for this.
Ensuring safe BEV operations
As the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market continues to flourish, and impending fossil fuel bans creep closer and closer, it’s crucial for manufacturers at every stage of the chain consider how best to ensure the correct functioning of their components.
Technology will be crucial to the success of vertical farms
Vertical farming is increasingly being regarded as one of the solutions to the problems faced by global food production systems, and in the following article Antti Viitanen from Vaisala explains why measurement and control technology will be key to the success of this rapidly growing sector.
From seawater to hydrogen without the need for desalination
Researchers from the RMIT University in Australia have developed a method for making hydrogen from seawater without the need for desalination.
People, Planet, and Profit: Why a more sustainable supply chain will benefit the 3 Ps of your business
The global climate crisis can feel overwhelming. We are all facing extreme weather events, habitat destruction, rising energy costs, and increasingly ominous predictions for the future of our planet.
