Framework for Thermal Energy Recovery and Management in Power Generation
The SCINERGY WHR – Waste Heat Recovery Project aims to enable and economically enhance the recovery of residual heat currently wasted in industry at a small scale for electricity generation (below 300ºC and 1 MW), unlocking a pathway with significant potential to improve the efficiency of primary energy use and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable Dilemmas: Decarbonize First or Capture Later (CCUS)?
The global challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions has led to the development of various strategies. Two primary approaches are decarbonization and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS). While both have their merits, a strategic dilemma arises: should we focus on decarbonizing first or capturing carbon later?
From Linear to Circular: New ISO 59004:2024 Implications
The recent introduction of ISO 59004 marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a sustainable circular economy. As part of the ISO 59000 series, this standard sets the stage for organizations to systematically transition from a linear to a circular model, emphasizing sustainable resource management, innovation, and resilience.
Inside the EU ETS: From Emissions Caps to Market Mechanisms
The EU ETS and its extension, the EU ETS II, are crucial in Europe’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By setting a carbon price and expanding to new sectors, the EU aims to drive innovation in clean technologies and move closer to its climate neutrality goals.
The 2030 Energy Shift: Insights into the Future Landscape
The energy sector is changing faster than ever before, driven by a range of factors, such as delocalization, decarbonization, demographic shifts, and geopolitical tensions. And the changes are not slowing down anytime soon.
