Investments by the governments of Canada and Ontario through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) are resulting in over $16 million worth of energy cost savings projects to help food processing businesses increase energy efficiency and lower their costs.
-
Annual savings of $20 billion are possible across six Southeastern states by reaching 45% solar generation by 2035, according to a national laboratory study.
-
Industry is the second largest source of CO2 emissions, with heavy industries like chemicals, steel, and cement responsible for nearly 60% of energy consumption. Energy efficiency is crucial for meeting climate targets in the EU, but can it alone decarbonize these sectors? This paper examines the role of energy-efficient technologies and necessary policy recommendations.
-
MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.
-
Decision-makers may believe it’s prohibitively difficult to improve energy efficiency in health care, especially since many facilities never close. Here are some strategies to show it’s easier than they think.
-
Thailand's largest cement producer, Siam Cement Group (SCG), plans to invest THB 200 billion (about 6.3 billion USD) over the next five years to enhance the competitiveness of its subsidiaries, SCG Chemicals and SCG Cleanergy, in order to assist the parent company in accelerating emission reductions.
-
Energy consumption will likely grow to meet supply if states don’t enact limits — and there are already precedents they can follow.
-
Camden council (UK) will be offering free support to nearly 125 local businesses for reducing energy consumption, cutting costs and lowering carbon emissions.
-
Vietnam plans to develop green and energy-saving steel products and increase the market share of domestically produced steel to gradually replace imported products.
