Tool helps prevent fires and explosions in natural gas lines

Garde3 weeks ago01 mins

Lines in natural gas grids have to be maintained and serviced regularly. This entails using flares to vent the natural gas. With FlareSimulator, research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF have developed an assistive tool that calculates the correct distance of flares to houses, trees and other nearby objects. This makes it easy to maintain minimum distances and prevent potential hazards and explosions.

Garde1 month ago01 mins

Alternatives to carbon-producing energy sources are becoming ever more imperative as climate change shows its effects on the Earth and in our daily lives. Although fossil fuels still generate much of the electricity in the United States, utilities are increasingly adding renewable sources such as wind and solar to their energy portfolios.

Pilot study shows how zero waste in food supply chain could be achieved through smart IoT technology

Garde2 months ago01 mins

The REAMIT project (Improving Resource Efficiency of Agribusiness supply chains by Minimizing waste using big data and IoT sensors) aims to save 1.8Mt of food waste or €3B per year in North-West Europe and prevent 5.5Mt/yr of CO2 emissions. It involves a consortium of food and technology organizations and universities, including Nottingham Tent University (NTU).

Novel heat-transfer medium and air wall increase efficiency of solar thermal tower power plantsMarch 23, 2023
The higher the receiver temperature, the more efficiently a solar thermal power plant will operate. Convective thermal losses also have an important effect on yield. The HelioGLOW collaborative project by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and industrial partners is working to address these challenges: The project team investigated a novel ceramic heat-transfer medium including power plant design and air wall for the thermal insulation of the receiver. The trend toward continuously improving production processes is reflected in the development of the Stellio heliostat.
Research team supports isostatic pressing for solid-state battery manufacturingMarch 23, 2023
Following months of promising test results, battery researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are recommending that the solid-state battery industry focus on a technique known as isostatic pressing as it looks to commercialize next-generation batteries.
Current status of our follower case in Linz, Austria – Renewable hydrogen and carbon capture and utilizationMarch 23, 2023
The Linz Follower Case of the CORALIS project focuses on the implementation of industrial symbiosis in the Upper Austrian industrial region of Linz. The project started in 2019 and the follower case has made significant progress since then. One of the first steps in Linz was to conduct a feasibility study to identify the industrial

How the ‘rich man’s energy club’ became a climate championMarch 23, 2023
How do you rebuild an international organization for the climate era? That’s what the Paris-based International Energy Agency has done over the past decade. Founded in 1974 to secure oil supplies for its members, the IEA has become a leading voice on the need to cut emissions. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi asks Fatih...
