The European Union has set itself the goal of raising the share of renewable energy sources in the final energy consumption of the Union from 8.5% in 2005 to 20% in 2020. This is an ambitious objective, but it is a necessary contribution to the global fight against climate change and towards better control over our energy dependence. Governments have a crucial role to play through their good ...
This specification covers the design and construction of commercial deep fat fryers which use electricity or gas as the heat source. These units are also known as fryers and are for use in commercial and institutional food service establishments. These open deep fat fryers are classified by type, size, grade, and class. Different types are classified according to where each type ...
The EU has changed the way it rates heat pumps and we have more news about it at Groundsun.co.uk. Just as is the case for a lot of other domestic electrical appliances, heat pumps and a number of other items wil now soon have energy data attached to them by law within the EU. This will ensure that the top and most efficient heat pumps on the market will be labelled and are clear to see. Click ...
Ecofys published first results from a project that is aimed at Polish decision makers and experts. In this project, Ecofys and its partners developed four factsheets and a workshop series. The objective is to initiate a dialogue, and exchange experiences gained in the implementation of Germany’s energy transition and climate policy. As an input to the dialogue, four factsheets were ...
Two Queen's researchers have contributed to a significant breakthrough in solar technology. Their research has led to a new solar photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system that generates both electricity and heat. Solar PVTs are normally made with crystal silicon cells which generate electricity, but little heat. Stephen Harrison and Joshua Pearce (Mechanical and Materials Engineering) designed and ...
According to the latest nationwide consumer survey from the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC), many U.S. consumers express a willingness to transition from fossil fuels to electricity for transportation, heating, cooking and water heating. As electricity generation in the U.S. becomes increasingly cleaner, electrification is gaining momentum among electric utilities and policymakers as a ...
James Murray, Editor of BusinessGreen magazine, takes a look at the success of the Cognicity Challenge and how its is paving the way for Canary Wharf to become a smart city test bed. SEaB Energy was proud to be a Cognicity Challenge winner earlier this year and we’re now working towards implementing our small-scale power plants on the Canary Wharf estate. Our technology will convert food ...
Entropy Solutions has developed shape-stabilized versions of two of its PureTemp biobased phase change materials. These gelled PCMs maintain their shape even as the PCM cycles between solid and liquid form, absorbing, storing and releasing thermal energy as needed in temperature-control applications. Potential uses include building materials, underfloor electric heating systems and shipping ...
AEBIOM and EBA publishes a position paper on sustainability of solid and gaseous biomass. The two associations support the introduction of sustainability scheme for solid and gaseous biomass if such criteria ensures a harmonised framework in the EU, flexibility by taking into account the existing schemes, cost effectiveness by diminishing administrative burden and equal level playing field. ...
MIT's cogeneration plant, which provides most of the electricity, heat and air conditioning for the campus, could get even more efficient if a team of students' project to harness surplus heat works as expected. Andy Muto and Daniel Kraemer, graduate students in mechanical engineering, and Bryan Ho, a graduate student in materials science and engineering, have been working together on a ...
