Advantages and Disadvantages of a Small Pyrolysis Machine
A tyre pyrolysis plant is a method that converts non-degradable waste into oil. It works with a chemical response to break up the organic matter in the tyres and produces a variety of products, like tyre pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas. The resultant oil might be directly used as fuel or further processed to make a substance called tyre fuel. However, if you're trying ...

Could Grid Modernization Provide the Path to a More Equal Society?
Smart grids have been in the headlines for over a decade. Today we’ve finally reached an impasse: our existing energy infrastructure is no longer fit for purpose. It is crumbling under the weight of abnormal weather conditions, demand fluctuations, and momentous changes to baseloads, historically supported by fossil fuels. Just a few short months ago, flash flooding across Europe left many ...

Preparing your plumbing and heating business for the UK's Race to Zero
Currently, 80% of British households use gas central heating systems, but that won't be the case in the future. The UK is switching to renewable energy, and by 2035, all of the country's electricity will come from clean energy sources. To support the government's efforts to switch to renewable energy and cut carbon emissions, why not offer low-carbon solutions now and help the government reach ...

How Artificial Intelligence helps companies become more sustainable
Some time ago, I wrote a blog about how sustainability and digitization go hand-in-hand. I mentioned the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help us make smarter decisions that rely on hard facts and enormous amounts of data - providing companies operational benefits and supporting us on our path to sustainability. But there’s a catch: To be future-ready, companies must start ...

Fission, Fusion, What's the Confusion?
Clean, sustainable, and renewable energy is a hot topic. Our world runs on energy and our production and use of energy shouldn’t put us or future generations in harm’s way. Society has responded to increasing power demands with technology such as nuclear fission. Fission splits uranium into smaller elements and releases large amounts of energy used to heat water in nuclear reactors ...

Customer-sited solar: four pathways to maximize the green energy revolution’s potential
Decarbonizing power generation is pivotal in the fight against climate change. Accounting for circa 30% of global energy related CO2 emissions, the sector is responsible for more emissions than any other industry. Decarbonizing how we generate energy is a mammoth task. Fortunately, we have the technology today to ensure that, with selective policy intervention, power generation becomes the first ...

What Are MOF and COF Compounds?
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of crystalline porous material with a periodic network structure formed by connecting and bridging inorganic metal centers (metal ions or metal clusters) with organic ligands. Because MOFs have many properties such as porosity, large specific surface area, strong designability, multi-metal sites, etc., they have been extensively studied and used in the ...

Legacy energy infrastructure: The hidden threat to our climate
It’s easy to identify the biggest climate threats: coal and oil-fired power stations pouring emissions into the atmosphere, heavy industry smoking up the sky, and the seemingly endless traffic jams of petrol and diesel polluting vehicles. But another enemy is standing in the way of a greener future; one rarely mentioned because it’s effectively invisible: our legacy energy ...

Distribution Sector Reforms – Time is no Longer a Luxury
The Covid-19 pandemic brought the power distribution sector to a tipping point—reform or perish. On the demand side, the shifting of demand load patterns across consumer categories impacted the revenues of distribution companies (Discoms) because of reduced commercial and industrial demand. On the supply side, the increasing quantum of renewable energy from solar and wind tested the ...
