In the seafood processing industry, energy costs are significant, accounting for about 30% of total product costs.

From 2020 to 2022, Terumo Vietnam Co., Ltd. implemented 61 energy-saving solutions, resulting in savings of nearly 3.4 million kWh, equivalent to more than 5.7 billion VND.

Cement production is one of the industries with high energy consumption, and cement enterprises prioritize finding effective energy-saving solutions to reduce costs and increase profits.

New research from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) finds that making average electric vehicles as efficient as their higher-performing peers can reduce the upfront cost of an EV by almost $5,000 and cut charging costs by nearly a third. Improving the efficiency of a 300-mile-range EV can give it the same range with much smaller batteries, significantly cutting costs.

Integrating artificial intelligence into today's environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25% -- potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, engineers have found.

About 70% of people in Japan are considering reducing the use of heat pumps in winter against the backdrop of soaring electricity costs, a recent survey by Daikin Industries Ltd., a major air conditioning unit manufacturer, has revealed.

The UK Government’s Great British Energy initiative could reduce consumer costs by £35 billion by 2050.

Indonesia's President-elect Prabowo Subianto plans to cut energy subsidies and will give cash handouts to families in need, his key economic adviser said.

Fertiliser manufacturers have implemented solutions to significantly reduce their carbon emission in production and improve energy efficiency.

By recovering almost all the energy from the heat, Toshiba Asia Industrial Products Co., Ltd. saves nearly 1 billion VND in electricity costs and reduces nearly 400 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The Government Energy Management Program (GEMP) is aimed at reducing government-wide electricity and fuel consumption by at least 10% via strategic energy efficiency and conservation measures - and that shall redound to corresponding cost savings.

Bangladesh’s energy efficiency and conservation master plan up to 2030 shows viable EE and conservation potential of 21% and 28.8% in the industry and household sectors, respectively.

Improving efficiency and flexibility of water heating can significantly reduce this major cost for households and for the entire electricity system.

Effective energy management optimizes energy usage, brings economic value, ensures sustainable environmental development, and reduces carbon emissions.

An Italian company has conducted what it says is the first test of magnetic levitation (maglev) transport on an existing railway track, a technology that has the potential to reduce costs and energy use as the industry seeks more efficient systems.

The energy audit report conducted by Viet-Sing Steel in 2023 shows that the company's energy consumption is 0.4% lower than the energy consumption standard of the steel industry (as per Circular No. 20/2016/TT-BCT dated September 20, 2016, by the Ministry of Industry and Trade).

On October 2, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the fifth meeting of the National Steering Committee on the implementation of Vietnam’s COP26 commitments, emphasizing the need for faster and more decisive action in tackling climate change. The Prime Minister’s call comes as Vietnam continues to face increasingly severe weather conditions, highlighting the urgency of addressing climate change impacts and adhering to global pledges.

A low-cost approach regulates heat with common building materials that absorb or radiate heat

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have managed to enhance the framework of Brownian reservoir computing by recording and transferring hand gestures to the system that then used skyrmions to detect these individual gestures.
