Saving energy directly increases profitability. However, it is sometimes overlooked in cost control. By benchmarking yourself, you can find your energy saving potential, which could add up to 30% of your total energy consumption in the plastics industry. A more detailed view at the machine-level of energy use could unlock a whole array of benefits.

The Vietnamese government’s new decree, announced at the end of October, encourages the development of self-consumption rooftop solar power systems. However, many investors feel that the regulatory details are unclear, making the application process much more difficult.

The government also identified two tiers of support under the grant.

Making motors more efficient is a more immediate solution that reduces energy consumption and cuts costs at the same time. The IEA has said that energy efficiency would provide a third of all emissions reductions in their Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario.

In the plastics industry, the dual goals of economic efficiency and energy conservation are critical for achieving a sustainable and cost-effective future. As the demand for streamlined and environmentally friendly production increases, plastics manufacturers are challenged to innovate while maintaining responsible production practices.

Report concludes using reverse-cycle air conditioning instead of gas ducted heating could save households between $999 to $2,215 a year.

RapidRate is an innovative tool that can estimate the energy efficiency performance of Australia’s 11 million residential properties.

Energy demand – how much energy we use – is a surprisingly under-explored area in the drive to cut carbon emissions and fight the climate crisis. But for energy users who take action in this area, there is “extraordinary potential,” the World Economic Forum says.

Schools, pools, and hospitals will be supported to make energy efficient upgrades, and businesses with high energy use will receive funding to help cut bills and emissions.

Australian Energy Ministers will decide whether to implement proposed Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for lighting, including light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Bulla y Salcedo Ingeniería, Merus Power’s local partner in Colombia, is at the forefront of introducing high-efficiency energy solutions to the Colombian steel industry. This partnership has enabled the implementation of the first reactive power compensation system in the country at Grupo Siderúrgico Reyna’s (GSR) steel facility, utilizing a static synchronous compensator, Merus® STATCOM.

Homes that meet recommended air tightness levels have lower energy bills and healthier indoor air quality, with the study also identifying the factors – and rooms – that caused leakages in most new homes.

The current decade is critical to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C: directing investments towards low- and zero-emissions technologies is instrumental to achieving the Paris Agreement target.

The project was commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and ran from 2015 to 2021.

The pursuit of energy efficiency is a constant endeavor in our modern world, and sometimes the best solutions come from the humblest sources. In this case, a team of scientists turned to the natural world to uncover how oscillating systems synchronize to maximize energy use.

A £7m scheme to install green energy heating schemes at two public buildings is set to be scrapped. Exeter City Council was awarded £6.4m of government money in 2023 to "decarbonise" the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Riverside Leisure Centre.

Energy-as-a-Service solutions provider Redaptive announced ON 22 October 2024 that it has raised $100 million through an equity investment from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments).

Steel remains incredibly relevant and deeply integrated into the modern world. Steel is used extensively in engineering, construction and other applications vital to modern life. The downside is that traditional methods of manufacturing, based upon fossil fuels such as coal, are damaging to the environment as they produce significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2). In fact, according to McKinsey & Company1, steel production accounts for about 8% of global emissions. In 2018, every ton of steel produced emitted an average of 1.85 tons of CO2.

An electric-powered complex debuts with hundreds of ‘passive’ homes.

A new program to plan low- and zero-emissions energy technology for the Massachusetts fishing industry is getting nearly $2 million as part of the recently passed federal Omnibus Appropriations Act for 2023.
