Legislation has potential to boost biogas use across the US When anaerobic digestion is used to process wastewater with a high organic load, it produces energy in the form of biogas, a combination of methane, carbon dioxide, and other gases. In the United States, there is huge potential for expansion in anaerobic digestion, but even though the energy produced can more than pay for the treatment, ...
Every action we take online, from browsing a webpage to streaming a video, consumes energy. Yet, how often do we consider the real-world implications of our digital interactions? In this article, we'll explain the connection between EMS and web development trends, explore how energy-conscious web design takes root, the critical role of performance optimisation for energy efficiency, the emerging ...
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 ...
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 ...
The climate picture painted by much of the media makes it easy to be pessimistic. Fortunately it’s not all bad news. According to the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), in 2021 Australia set a new record for renewable energy investments for the fifth year in a row. Last year (2021) 380,000 new solar panels with a combined capacity of 3.2 gigawatts were installed, which means that more than one ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hardware Pioneers, a media hub advocating for a “smarter and more connected world,” recently interviewed me, about the increasing challenges facing today’s distribution system operator (DSO). In this post, I would like to expand on that discussion and talk a bit more about the evolving nature of the smart grid and how new solutions can help a DSO manage this very dynamic ...
The breakout of novel coronavirus in March 2020 has impacted almost all sectors of our society, be it healthcare, educational, or industrial. Steadily, every country is awakening to the importance of a clean, healthy, and sustainable future. In this article, we will bring under purview why it is imperative for industries to switch to sustainable energy. First, let us begin by understanding the ...
If you're looking for ways to cut your home's energy costs, solar power is a clean, abundant, and renewable energy resource to consider. While solar energy from the sun is free, installing a solar energy system can be a costly investment. But with the growing financing options, tax benefits, and reduced cost to install residential solar systems, more people are looking to the sun to power their ...
