Speira’s new “transparent” melting furnace delivers more capacity, more recycling, precise insights and data collection in all process steps with 15 percent less energy.

Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an unconventional approach inspired by quantum physics, Rice engineer Gururaj Naik and his team designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high efficiencies within practical design parameters.

I had the opportunity to visit a children’s health center located about 300 km away from Astana, on the shores of a beautiful lake. The center, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year, has introduced green technologies, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency systems. It was inspiring to witness how such initiatives can tangibly improve sustainability while reducing environmental impacts.

Birmingham-based craft beer maker Attic Brew Co is one of more than 2,000 businesses being backed by a multi-million-pound scheme helping firms cut their energy usage and fuel bills.

A final push would allow the Biden administration to reach its pollution reduction goals.

While utility costs are inevitable, there are strategies to make food and beverage plants more efficient and save money in the long run.

Japan and Vietnam have deepened their cooperation based on Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) and issued carbon credits for nine new projects by the end of October.

The atoms of amorphous solids like glass have no ordered structure; they arrange themselves randomly, like scattered grains of sand on a beach. Normally, making materials amorphous—a process known as amorphization—requires considerable amounts of energy.

Conversion to biogas could reduce emissions and save more than £400 million a year in fuel costs.

Shell Malaysia has unveiled a significant plan to accelerate its transition towards net-zero emissions by 2050, with a focus on installing solar panels across the rooftops of its more than 600 retail sites. The solar installation will have a total capacity of 20 MWp, with plans for all sites to switch to solar power by next year.

The industrial sector in the Kingdom consumes approximately 48% of the country's primary energy, with "energy-intensive" industries such as petrochemicals, cement, steel, and aluminium accounting for around 70% of this consumption.

Cutting the energy used while firing the bricks means big savings at scale.

A new commentary, published by members of the Energy Demand Changes Induced by Technological and Social Innovations (EDITS) network, coordinated by IIASA, highlights that switching the focus from how energy is supplied to how energy is consumed can be a more effective approach to reducing carbon emissions with the added benefit of improving wellbeing for all.

Most community buildings in England are lagging behind other non-domestic buildings in meeting upcoming energy efficiency standards, according to a newly published report.

Forward-looking EU policies, with people and the economy at their heart, position Europe to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Upcoming energy efficiency standards pose a significant challenge for smaller warehouses.

The world is off track in reaching the global goal to double energy efficiency by 2030 that was adopted at COP 28 in Dubai. A coalition of countries, businesses and organizations is urging world leaders at COP 29 in Baku to commit to actionable measures to unlock the energy efficiency investment that is crucial to meeting climate targets.

Doubling global rate of improvement will require countries to accelerate policy implementation, which would improve energy security, reduce energy costs and lower emissions

The Middle East, recognized for its extensive oil reserves and dry landscapes, is grappling with a series of interconnected challenges that are influencing its future: energy efficiency, water scarcity, and the necessity for decarbonization. As the world shifts towards a more sustainable and low-carbon future, nations in the Middle East are facing mounting pressure to tackle these issues and adapt to the evolving global environment.

Reducing a lighting system’s energy consumption requires more than just installing LED luminaires – effective control is essential. Installer looks at how advanced lighting controls can lead to more sustainable operations and significant long-term cost savings, while also enhancing occupant comfort, productivity and wellbeing.
