Two new EU proposals aim to set the bloc on track to meet its net-zero goals. They include the Net-Zero Industry Act and the Critical Raw Materials Act. The proposals are seen as key to reining in the green industry's global front.

IoT (Internet of Things) technology has proven to be a game-changer for businesses. It allows industries to access real-time data across multiple platforms. Ready-to-use IoT platforms have been developed to help you simplify the adoption.

In my blog ‘How will energy look in 2030? I have made 10 predictions for the next 10 years! I predicted that by 2030 all city centres will have some form of fifth generation heat network - taking heat networks share of heating beyond the 18% currently forecast.

Working in smart city projects requires to bring together different players in this very diverse eco-system, from IT to product suppliers, service providers, finance, social innovators and of course the cities with their various departments. A good way to start is looking at top notch smart city projects as well as knowledge, matchmaking and IT platforms.

In the EU alone, more than 70% of heating and cooling is generated from fossil fuels. In principle, industry can rather easily decarbonize their electricity consumption, just buy green electricity. The real challenge is how to decarbonise industrial heat.

Battery energy storage enables electric grids to become more flexible and resilient. While the battery is a crucial component within the battery energy storage system (BESS) other parts are important as well, such as controller, battery management systems or HAVC.

The EU Taxonomy Regulation aims to provide clear and consistent criteria for identifying environmentally sustainable activities. In addition, the EU Taxonomy Regulation also requires financial market participants to report on the environmental sustainability of their investments, one of the reasons why green loans are becoming more popular.

Worldwide, electric motor systems consume about 10,700 TWh annually worldwide and were responsible for 53% of the global electric energy consumption in 2016. This corresponds to approximately the combined electricity consumption of China. Digitalization technologies for electric motor driven systems will have a significant impact on the motor systems industry, offering vast potential for improvements in performance, efficiency, and cost.

Os resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) são uma fonte abundante para a produção de produtos circulares, mas geralmente não são explorados. Mais de 500 kg de resíduos urbanos per capita foram gerados na UE em 2020, enquanto apenas 45% foram reciclados.
