Energy demand – how much energy we use – is a surprisingly under-explored area in the drive to cut carbon emissions and fight the climate crisis. But for energy users who take action in this area, there is “extraordinary potential,” the World Economic Forum says.

The textile and garment industry uses a massive amount of energy in the production and manufacturing processes. And, due to geopolitical events, such as COVID-19 or the Russian-Ukraine war, energy costs have been rising which has also had a big impact on manufacturing companies , including the garment sector. Combined with the global increased pressure to adopt sustainable practices, garment manufacturers are prompted to seek innovative ways to reduce their energy consumption and enhance efficiency.

The Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) market is experiencing significant changes driven by the need for energy efficiency across multiple industries.

Energy and gas costs continue to rise, leaving businesses like food and beverage manufacturers feeling financially strained. The good news is that manufacturing businesses can significantly reduce their energy bills by becoming more energy efficient.

Schools, pools, and hospitals will be supported to make energy efficient upgrades, and businesses with high energy use will receive funding to help cut bills and emissions.

Australian Energy Ministers will decide whether to implement proposed Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for lighting, including light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Lighting can account for 10–25% of your bill. For some businesses, it can be as high as 50%. The figures on this page come from our Boosting Business Productivity program. We worked with more than 300 businesses to explore their energy use and minimise their energy cost.

Homes that meet recommended air tightness levels have lower energy bills and healthier indoor air quality, with the study also identifying the factors – and rooms – that caused leakages in most new homes.

The information and communication technology sector is a major energy consumer, but it also offers the potential for savings... if used properly. Let’s work smarter, writes Pernille Weiss

The current decade is critical to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C: directing investments towards low- and zero-emissions technologies is instrumental to achieving the Paris Agreement target.

The project was commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and ran from 2015 to 2021.

About two-thirds of the entire primary energy reserves of countries is going to waste, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Countries are expanding their efforts in achieving national energy efficiency goals by including more recommendations and policies in their long-term climate agendas.

The pursuit of energy efficiency is a constant endeavor in our modern world, and sometimes the best solutions come from the humblest sources. In this case, a team of scientists turned to the natural world to uncover how oscillating systems synchronize to maximize energy use.

A £7m scheme to install green energy heating schemes at two public buildings is set to be scrapped. Exeter City Council was awarded £6.4m of government money in 2023 to "decarbonise" the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Riverside Leisure Centre.

Energy-as-a-Service solutions provider Redaptive announced ON 22 October 2024 that it has raised $100 million through an equity investment from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments).

Steel remains incredibly relevant and deeply integrated into the modern world. Steel is used extensively in engineering, construction and other applications vital to modern life. The downside is that traditional methods of manufacturing, based upon fossil fuels such as coal, are damaging to the environment as they produce significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2). In fact, according to McKinsey & Company1, steel production accounts for about 8% of global emissions. In 2018, every ton of steel produced emitted an average of 1.85 tons of CO2.

An electric-powered complex debuts with hundreds of ‘passive’ homes.

A new program to plan low- and zero-emissions energy technology for the Massachusetts fishing industry is getting nearly $2 million as part of the recently passed federal Omnibus Appropriations Act for 2023.

According to the plan, Vietnam Electricity will pay for the surplus energy from the local solar power system to the national grid in alignment with the average market electricity price of the previous year.

Rooftop solar now accounts for 11.2% of Australia’s electricity supply, with households and businesses playing a leading role in Australia’s renewable energy transition, according to the Clean Energy Council’s new Rooftop Solar and Storage Report.

The food processing industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors, consuming vast amounts of electricity and fuel to transform raw ingredients into the products we consume daily. This high energy usage not only contributes to significant operational costs but also results in substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Implementing energy-efficient practices is crucial for reducing both costs and environmental impact. This article explores various strategies to enhance energy efficiency in food processing, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and profitable industry.

The iron and steel industry is one of the pillars of the world economy, as steel is a very important material in sectors including construction, the automotive industry, aerospace, energy, and more. However, the steel industry is known to be very energy intensive. For this reason, it is imperative to implement measures to improve energy efficiency.

The energy crisis has affected businesses in all sectors, but perhaps none harder than those in manufacturing. Glass, ceramic and paper manufacturers warned that rising prices may mean they have to charge customers more. Manufacturers in energy-intensive industries such as steel and chemical also warned that the price of goods would increase for consumers because of the high and rising energy costs.

From March 5–7, METEF, the international expo for aluminum, aimed at highlighting new chances for the industry and provide opportunities to diversify one’s business, returns to Bologna

Energy costs are a hot topic for fish processing plants, who can potentially spend a lot of electricity to maintain optimal climates at all times. Below, we explain how Dantherm’s ECOline solution is significantly reducing the energy demands of climate control in this industry.

According to the European Commission, buildings in the European Union are responsible for 40% of final energy consumption in the European Union and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, while 75% of the European Union’s buildings are still energy inefficient and 85-95% of the buildings that exist today will continue to exist in 2050.
