Climate Action: Carbon Capture in perspective

Worldwide global warming is a serious topic of worldwide significance which is the subject of planned US and other mitigating legislative initiatives. From that perspective, carbon capture and store technologies (CCS) becomes an increasingly important means…

Direct Carbon Capture – What is it? How does it work?

In 2015, the Paris Agreement set the objective of reducing human-caused global warming ideally below 35.6ºF (2ºC increase), with a further ambition of staying below 34.7ºF (1.5ºC increase). To meet this goal, countries and corporations would…

The power of combining data for utilities

Where and when should a utility trim vegetation near power lines to best reduce the risk of wildfires? When is the most cost-effective time to take a wind turbine out of service for general maintenance? How…

Why should Scope 3 be the big focus to achieve sustainability goals?

At the industrial and domestic scale, both direct and indirect emission constitutes the contaminated carbon particles that will ultimately lead to atmospheric pollution i.e. most commonly known as greenhouse gases (GHG’s). Direct emission is concerned with…

Blockchain: A New Solution for the Grid Stability Problem

The emerging blockchain technology will allow to improve the safety, transparency and trust among participants of the energy market giving a new solution for the grid stability problem. What Blockchain can do for Power Grids Today,…
