Innovative Alternatives to MCCPs in #PVCCables: A Breakthrough in Fire Safety and Sustainability🧯🍀 At the recent PVC4Cables Conference in Prague, Prof. Cardelli Camillo, Senior Researcher, Scientific Coordinator and Co-Founder of iPOOL srl presented new findings on alternatives to Medium-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (MCCPs): “Our research shows that increasing the chlorine content in #PVC cable formulations, by using #biobased chlorinated esters instead of traditional chlorinated paraffins, significantly improves flame retardancy and cable performance into EN 50399 (CPR) burning test, while also improving environmental performance – a potentially groundbreaking discovery in #firesafety and #sustainability.” https://lnkd.in/d7neQa2D #cables

Agri photovoltaic could supply five times more electricity than Switzerland needs. Agrivoltaics refers to the combination of agricultural production with electricity generation using photovoltaics. ZHAW researchers in Wädenswil have now determined the theoretical potential for electricity production with agrivoltaics in Switzerland: This amounts to more than 300 terawatt hours – and is therefore five times as large as Switzerland's current electricity requirements. This was determined as part of the EDGE project, which is funded by the SWEET "Swiss Energy research for the Energy Transition" programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

We are pleased to announce that Electrified Thermal Solutions will be exhibiting at Decarb Connect UK, the UK’s leading industrial decarbonisation event. Save 25% on your ticket by using code ‘ETS25’ at checkout About Electrified Thermal Solutions Electrified Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ETS) is decarbonizing industry with new electric heating and storage technologies. ETS’s Joule Hive™ thermal battery turns intermittent renewable electricity into constant industrial-grade heat. It is a stack of electrically conductive firebricks in an insulated container, which may be installed on-site as a drop-in replacement to fossil fuels in even the hottest industries. The system charges by running electricity directly through the bricks to joule-heat them, circumventing the operating limits of today’s electric heaters. The same bricks store thermal energy up to 1800+oC with minimal thermal loss for hours or days until needed, ensuring the least cost electricity is used to power the system.

AWARDS FINALIST: Methanex – Investing in new distillation technology to reduce emissions An upgrade of Methanex Corporation’s two distillation columns at its Motunui site will save up to 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year. The complex project, completed in late 2023, involved redesigning and replacing 88 distillation trays in the near 30-year-old columns to improve control of the flow of gas and liquid within them. The improved energy efficiency from the retrofit boosted the plant’s distillation capacity by 25 per cent, allowing Methanex to decommission its third distillation column at the Waitara Valley plant, thereby consolidating operations and further reducing emissions. Methanex says close collaboration among the project partners was key to its success. After extensive evaluation, detailed front-end engineering design began in February 2022.

This report discusses the potential of green hydrogen to replace natural gas and reduce CO2 emissions, focusing on the development of a 1-GW green-hydrogen plant to be commissioned by 2030. The transition involves large-scale water-electrolysis plants powered by wind and solar energy, aligning with the European Union's goal of installing 40 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030. The report outlines ambitious targets for the Netherlands, aiming to build 3 to 4 GW of green-hydrogen plants by 2030. It introduces the Hydrohub GigaWatt-Scale Electrolyzer project, presenting an advanced design for a 1-GW plant using alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. Anticipated total investment costs and potential cost reductions through innovations are discussed, emphasizing the urgency to scale up green hydrogen for industrial applications. The report concludes with technical specifications, cost breakdowns, and the importance of reducing investment costs to establish a competitive green-hydrogen market.

450kW ZERO FEED-ΙΝ PV SYSTEM FOR SYFA THESSALONIKIS This system was chosen because the building is situated in a region with grid limitations.

How much electricity does the #Wuppermann Group produce from #photovoltaic systems? Wuppermann has been generating electricity from photovoltaic systems at all five production sites and at the Group's headquarters in Leverkusen since October 2023. The installed nominal capacity is over 4,500 kWp and can thus cover approx. 5 per cent of the Group's annual electricity requirements. The output generated per month is stated on the Wuppermann website. For example, 474 MWh of electricity was generated in April and 1,302 MWh since the beginning of the year until mid-May.
