How do we turn this energy crisis to our advantage?

Pneumatic systems stand out for being a widely used reliable technology with low investment cost. High durability of compressed air systems often hides increasing leakages and pressure drop which can be avoided using predictive maintenance through the implementation of smart technologies in compliance with Industry 4.0.

European project EMB3Rs is finding new ways to recycle industrial waste heat. The project aims to raise energy efficiency, cut carbon emissions and end fuel poverty. Currently, the only large-scale District Heat Cold (DHC) network in Portugal is operated by Climaespaço.

Commissioning has taken place of a 100MW/400M vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) energy storage system in Dalian, China. A second phase will bring it up to 200MW/800MWh.

Vietnams energy consumption has been soaring in the past decade. The majority of its electricity is generated from burning coal, natural gas, and oil. Currently, the industrial sector of Vietnam constitutes up to 47 percent of national electricity consumption.

Spearmint Energy founder Andrew Waranch says we are at a tipping point. Texas power grid froze in 2021 after a surge of severe winter storms battered state. He says we need massive investment in our energy infrastructure, especially in energy storage.

Nearly 63% of lost energy created for electricity, transportation, industrial, commercial and residential markets. Industrial companies can reduce site energy usage 5% to 15% by using energy management technologies. Smart sensors provide real-time visibility into energy performance so operators can take corrective action.

EU needs €210bn over next five years to pay for phasing out Russian fossil fuels based on a plan drawn up in response to the Kremlin-ordered invasion of Ukraine. The plan proposes upgrades to the EU green deal, the blocs flagship policy to confront the climate crisis. Officials also want to cut energy consumption by 13% by 2030 (compared with 2020), too.

The De-risking Energy Efficiency Platform (DEEP) is an open-source database for energy efficiency investments performance monitoring and benchmarking. It now includes data on more than 17,000 energy efficiency projects in buildings and industry from 30 data providers.

Germany is to meet its energy needs from renewable sources in 30 years. The conversion of Germanys energy supply to green and renewable is a done deal. But there is not much time left to switch completely from fossil fuels to a carbon dioxide-free,.
