Reducing the climate impact of our product transports is a key component of our global emission reduction plan. To advance on our action plan, we always test and evaluate new transport means, routes as well as fuel sources. Our latest pilot is a three-month pilot project that sees to the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (a type of biofuel known as HVO100)- instead of fossil-based fuel, for all our products’ ground transports from Sweden to Germany, France, and the Netherlands. While the project introduces a new workflow, adding an extra supplier to our transport processes, it also sees a substantial reduction of the climate footprint associated with the transports mentioned. To compare the project's gains and pains, an evaluation will follow the end of the trial period. #ClimateAction #ChangeCatalyst #CarbonFootprint #MedTech #NowAndForTheFuture

📣 We are proud to partner with the Technical University of Ostrava (special thanks Karel Borovec on a groundbreaking measurement campaign at a Thermal Power Plant in Czech republic, which is combusting braun coal. This initiative focuses on monitoring greenhouse gases (CH4 & CO2) and other critical environmental parameters to enhance our sustainability efforts and regulatory compliance. 📊 What We're Measuring: Methane (CH4), Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5 & PM10), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs, and Wind. 🌍 Why This Matters: With the introduction of the new Industrial Emissions Directive and EU methane regulations, this Thermal Power Plant is leading the way in ambient emissions measurement. By being one of the early adopters, it is taking significant steps to: ➡ Protect public health ➡Mitigate climate change ➡Set a benchmark for sustainability &compliance in the industry 🤝 Join Us in Celebrating This Milestone: This initiative marks a major advancement in our commitment to a cleaner, healthier future. We are excited to lead by example and inspire other facilities to adopt similar practices. #Methaneregulations #Powerplant #Sustainability #PublicHealth #ClimateAction #Methane #EnvironmentalProtection #CleanEnergy #Leadership #Ch4 #Methaneemissons #Coal #Cleanenergy

Biogenic CO2 is carbon dioxide that has been stored in living organisms. It is released through the decomposition of organic matter, such as food waste, as part of the natural, short-term carbon cycle. Because it is already part of the atmosphere, biogenic #CO2 has a lower climate impact compared to fossil CO2 emissions. In fact, biogenic CO2 can be captured and utilised to increase renewable natural gas production. By adding Biogasclean A/S biological methanation technology to #biomethane plants, we can capture biogenic CO2 and turn it into e-methane. This can increase green gas output from our plants by ~ 70%, while capturing CO2 and #methane emissions. https://lnkd.in/ezP3QrmX

With the 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 under increasing pressure to minimize its environmental impact, methanol is gaining recognition as a viable alternative fuel that can significantly advance sustainable shipping. 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗹 offers a cleaner combustion process compared to traditional marine fuels, resulting in reduced emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM). This cleaner burning fuel meets stringent IMO regulations and helps enhance air quality in coastal areas. Furthermore, when derived from renewable sources, methanol can approach carbon neutrality, making it an ideal choice for aligning with global initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving towards a low-carbon economy. Discover more about the environmental benefits of methanol as a marine fuel in our latest blog article: https://lnkd.in/diZUxtae Product available in our stock. #MethanolEurope #Sustainability #MethanolLogistics #EnvironmentalImpact #MethanolPartnerships #Sinotec #Methanol #PetrochemicalSector #EuropeanMarket #MarineFuel

Which climate solution are we referring to? 1. Achieves 10,000 + years carbon storage 🪨 2. Increases crop yields by 30 % 🌱 3. Produces green energy as a by-product 🍃 The resounding answer is biochar! Read the carousel below which explains biochar in a way that is as digestible and essential as it gets🤝 Not only does Biochar solve immense problems for the agriculture sector, but it stores CO2 for centuries! Our partners Novocarbo and Exomad Green is turning turning bio-waste into wonder, aka biochar. By transforming excess biomass into biochar, they’re creating a “carbon vault” that locks away CO2 for over a millennium.

In nature, there exists a carbon cycle, where growing plants absorb atmospheric CO2 via photosynthesis and then that CO2 returns to the atmosphere when crop residues are burnt, land spread or landfilled. RBE’s innovative ECHO2 technology aims to disrupt this cycle with the goal of reducing CO2 emissions. So instead of burning or putting those crop residues in landfills, we can process it through an ECHO2 as feedstock, which is then converted to biochar (carbon solids). When this biochar is used for soil enrichment, or in some industrial applications, it locks away much of the carbon from returning to the atmosphere. Emerging science indicates that biochar produced in the right process conditions prevents carbon from returning to the atmosphere for geologic time scales. Clean syngas fuel, which is another by-product of the ECHO2 process, can be combusted to produce useful heat or power. The biogenic carbon that makes up some of the syngas does return to the atmosphere, however, when used to offset the use of fossil fuels, this clean renewable syngas avoids additional new CO2 entering the atmosphere, leading to the overall process still being carbon negative. For each dry tonne of feedstock, the ECHO2 produces ~0.4t of high carbon biochar, which when utilised appropriately can lead to ~1.0t of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. Around 4.2 GJ of clean syngas is also produced by the ECHO for this amount of feedstock which is classified as a net zero renewable fuel. #carboncycle #agriwaste #biochar #syngas

This is a very informative and interesting article on Biochar as the Circular System At The Heart Of The Carbon Negative Revolution.
"Biochar’s application, from soil amendment to water filtration and even as an additive in construction materials, is instrumental in sequestering carbon, offering a tangible pathway to rebalancing atmospheric CO2 levels," By Lucia Brusegan, Chair of the Board of Directors at International Biochar Initiative (IBI). #biochar #carbonremoval #climateaction #climatechange https://bit.ly/3UkxsDG

Pleased to share that my first publication, "Biochar: A Sustainable Solution," has crossed 100 citations. I extend my gratitude to everyone who has cited this work. 😀😀 Our planet has been grappling with significant challenges such as climate change and pollution. Biochar, a carbonaceous product derived from the pyrolysis of biomass, presents a viable solution. It effectively addresses pollution remediation, soil improvement, waste management, energy production, and climate change mitigation. The application of biochar supports the achievement of several sustainable development goals. The publication can be read at "https://lnkd.in/gsFk-iQK". Thank you once again to everyone who has backed my efforts. 😊😊 #Biochar #Sustainability #ClimateChange #Pollution #Remediation #Soil #Waste #Energy

Today is the international Zero waste day... But we are working every day, seeking a zero waste planet. The organic components of sewage sludge are decomposed under anaerobic conditions in heated, closed digestion tanks. In the process, combustible gases such as methane are released from the sludge. These are collected in a biogas tank and then converted into electricity and heat in cogeneration (CHP) plants. A level sensor controls the filling of the digester. To ensure that no foam gets into the gas system along with the collected gas, a point level sensor is used for monitoring. Our Champions here are VEGAPULS 6X Level measurement with radar for control of the filling process and VEGACAP 64 who detects the conductive foam, and prevents it from entering the gas facility. Those sensors, and others are offered to our planet by #VEGA #HOMEOFVALUES #UAE #INSTRUMENTS #VEGAMENA #levelmeasurement #pressuremeasurement #densitymeasurement #zero_waste #circulareconomy #wastetoenergy #cop28 #water_treatment VEGA France VEGA Brasil VEGA Grieshaber KG VEGA Instrumentos, S.A.
