Measuring Gases Produced by Waste Gasification to Improve Control and Efficiency
Waste gasification is a type of waste to energy process where waste material is used as a fuel to create heat, electricity or other chemical products. Specifically, in waste gasification, the waste material is decomposed in such a way to produce gaseous products, often known as syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.1 Conventional incineration uses heat and ...

Net-zero energy or net zero-carbon - what does it all mean?
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 ...

Net-zero path 2050 and the role of energy storage
Summary Present climate pledges, even if fully achieved, would fall short to give the world a chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Therefore, the world needs to commit on a viable and actionable path to achieve Net-Zero by 2050. While renewables and energy storage are the backbone of the energy transition to achieve Net-Zero by 2050 in the power sector …, the ...

The thermal energy storage is the key for decarbonization
Summary Thermal energy storage plays a key role in the energy transition process. It makes possible to overcome the intermittence’s obstacle inherent to traditional renewable power generation sources (such as wind or solar), or the mismatch between available energy production and consumer’s demand, solved nowadays by inefficient management of resources, with paid plants on standby ...

Energy storage implementation to reach carbon neutrality
Summary The massive deployment of intermittent renewables to achieve the decarbonization targets set out in Paris Agreement by 2050, is arising power management concerns while integrating with the power system due to the variability and intermittency of their renewable energy sources. The implementation of energy storage systems will lead to more efficient energy management system since the ...

Making Your Energy Work for You
Alexander Graham Bell (the telephone) and Thomas Edison (electricity) were two of the greatest groundbreaking pioneers in history. Imagine if the two were alive today to witness the evolution of their thinking. While the chances are pretty good that Bell would have no idea what a smartphone was, Edison’s electrical transmission lines are, conversely, still a mainstay today. Acknowledging ...

Sustainable Electricity: One Step Closer to a Green Future
The continuous rise in carbon dioxide emissions for the last 30 years has led to increased atmospheric temperatures today. And the environment is getting more and more polluted due to the rapid industrialization and usage of fossil fuels for energy production. That is why there is a growing global demand for sustainable electricity, ensuring access to clean and affordable energy in order to stop ...

Trends in the Energy Sector Digitalisation
As the intensifying debate around climate change amplifies, the energy sector is continuing its trend toward phasing out fossil fuels and moving towards reliance on renewable energy. The American Energy Information Administration (EIA) has reported that it expects about 65 GW of coal power to be retired between now and 2030 and that nearly 90 GW has already been phased out since 2011. The latest ...

Nuclear power and water consumption
The UK Government is accelerating plans for homegrown power, and nuclear energy is a significant part of its strategy. The target is eight reactors by 2030, with a target of one nuclear reactor per year instead of one per decade. The government wants 24GW of nuclear energy by 2050, satisfying up to 25% of national energy demand. Nuclear power is safe and is the most reliable energy ...

Don’t Forget the UPS! Why Electrical Contractors Should Include Backup Power in Projects
The power grid isn’t as reliable as it used to be. Extreme weather events such as the 2021 Texas deep freeze and a string of hurricanes and nor’easters along the eastern seaboard have caused major power outages, sometimes lasting multiple days. In California, utilities have to shut off power when winds could knock out transmission lines to avoid wildfires. Adding to the challenge, ...

Energy Communities: Energy Saving through Local Production and Consumption
The energy transition, supported by growing public awareness of climate change has led to the emergence of energy communities around the world. What are these Communities and what are their Contributions and Benefits? Based on individual self-consumption, these communities have been formed to generate and benefit from the electricity generated locally by collaborating with companies, local ...

Which is more efficient solar or wind energy?
Before we start our reasoning, we'd like to remind you that both are renewables, and therefore both are great energy options to turn to to improve our planet and to break our addiction to oil and gas. Today we will try to answer a question that we often ask ourselves when we are interested in renewable energies : between solar and wind energy, which is the most efficient? First, let's take a ...

Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
The essence of combined heat and power technology, over recent decades, is to provide continuous supplies of electricity and heat. This is done at the highest levels of fuel efficiency – typically reaching around 90% – meaning that this has lower carbon emissions than grid-supplied electricity. Historically thermal power plants supplying the grid rarely had heat recovery. Compared to ...

Getting Commercial Buildings to Net Zero
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 ...

At lofty heights: 3D Scan of a wind turbine blade
The maintenance of wind turbines, and whole wind farms, is a challenge. Normally wind turbines are designed to operate for 20 years. During these 20 years they are subjected to all kinds of weather conditions and heavy loads, but thanks to modern acquisition technology and advanced numerical models, such conditions can be addressed and even turned into increased annual energy production. To ...
