Archwood have specialised in the design, manufacture and supply of timber products for over 150 years. Having complete a site energy audit at the head office and manufacturing facility, a number of energy efficient recommendations were suggested to the board. In a drive to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy resilience a ...
In the textile industry, energy costs and environmental concerns are significant challenges. Sartex, an industrial group specialising in the manufacture of jeans, opted for a cogeneration solution to meet the challenges of rising energy costs and environmental pressures. Sartex chose Clarke Energy to design, supply and install its CHP plant to solve these problems efficiently. This installation ...
In the quest for sustainable energy solutions, plastic to fuel machines emerge as a promising avenue, harnessing the power of pyrolysis to transform discarded plastics into usable energy. ...
PG&E is at it again. Californians are stuck with the highest energy costs in the United States - by far. Rates have risen on average +20% in just the last few months! ...
In 2007, the farm set a goal of being energy self-sufficient and carbon negative. Recognizing that walnut shell had proven energy production abilities, the farm sought an on-site energy production solution that would use the shell as an on-site feedstock for generation of power, heat and eventually synthetic ...
Fuel cells promise vehicle power with zero emissions Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are powered by generating electricity from compressed hydrogen, and their only emission is fresh water. As good as that sounds, though, a lot of fresh water is required to manufacture the compressed hydrogen, and supplies are increasingly limited. Is there enough fresh water for a transition to hydrogen? A Reuters ...
According to statistics, 40% of the energy consumption in Europe comes from the building sector. This led the European Commission to create energy efficiency directives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, introducing the concept of NZEB or Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings. ...
Saying the last few years in California agriculture have been "rough" is an understatement. From a multi-year drought and wildfires to extreme rain and floods... and now we're facing the highest energy costs in the United States! Here's what's going on - and what you need to know to stay ...

One of the first customers to use DustIQ was Green Energy Park in Morocco, to support research field tests. Since February 2018, OTT HydroMet's DustIQ Soiling Monitoring System has been on their site and measuring the on-site soiling ratio. Green Energy Park (GEP) is a research center, a training platform and a testing facility ...

In this article, we review some of the main features of energy efficiency projects in historical buildings. We also share the success story of the Art Nouveau Site of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Energy Management in Historical Heritage The conservation of historical ...
The healthcare industry is being called upon to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build more climate resistant infrastructure through the U.S. Office of Climate Change and Health Equity’s (OCCHE) Health Care Sector Pledge. As a result, healthcare facilities will need to incorporate clean energy solutions such as distributed generation to make good on this commitment. With this comes key ...
My third article for Forbes talks about moving past awareness of climate change and doing something about it. I noted how buildings are one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, so we must address how new and existing buildings use energy. And this is especially urgent if we want to achieve the ambitious 2050 net-zero goal spearheaded by the UN Net Zero Coalition and ...
Solar installations at commercial and industrial buildings have soared in recent years, with businesses realizing that they’re smart investments. Part of the reason is that solar installations produce clean, locally generated energy — a must-have in a time of ambitious sustainability goals. But not all solar installations are alike. According to a 2021 study by Berkeley Lab, 98 ...
At a time of complex, competing business priorities, most progressive and responsible organizations agree on two things. Firstly, to ensure our collective future, we all have a responsibility to act in the fight against climate change. Secondly, we have no choice – we must use digital technologies and data to innovate. The real difference for businesses, however, lies in bringing these two ...
A couple of years ago we noted here on our blog that "2020 is shaping up to see even MORE disruption in both the energy and water sectors, particularly in California." Boy, was that an understatement... Obviously, nobody could have predicted a global pandemic. But what really ratcheted up the stress for all of us in the Western US was the steady drumbeat of higher temperatures, dry ...
As the discussion at last fall’s COP 26 reminded us, reducing CO2 and greenhouse gases are global priorities to minimize the growing impacts of climate change. The International Energy Agency has stated that buildings and construction are responsible for nearly 15% of global CO2 emissions annually. In Canada, where our climate requires significant energy loads for seasonal heating and ...
In the previous two posts in this series, we’ve looked at the hidden risks that make managing critical power facilities so challenging. We’ve also seen how digitalizing electrical power distribution networks trends mean you no longer have to ‘work blind.’ Connected smart devices sharing data with cloud or facility-based software and mobile apps help shine a bright light on ...
The total energy produced can vary widely depending on factors including what is being treated Anaerobic digestion is a waste treatment process that breaks down organic matter with bacteria that thrive in the absence of oxygen. Feedstocks can include manure, sewage biosolids, and food wastes. Among anaerobic digestion’s advantages is its ability to treat high-load streams while producing ...
