Integrated industry takes Hannover Messe to new heights
With “Integrated Industry – Join the Network” as its keynote theme, Hannover Messe 2015 gave tangible shape to the vision of the “intelligent factory”.
The hydrogen storage
The transformations from hydrogen to energy and back are expensive and technologically complex. Hydrocarbons are often stored at the point of use, either as a liquid in the tanks of petrol, diesel and LPG in cars or in compressed propane tanks.
Ambitious Italian-Japanese project for the future of energy
Signed a cooperation agreement in the field of nuclear fusion research.
Offshore Mediterranean to enhance resources and attract investment
The twelfth edition of the OMC, the biennial event dedicated to upstream operators, will be held in Ravenna 25 to 27 March.
An international project will improve wind farm efficiency and profitability
AWESOME, financed in the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, gathers some of Europe’s most prominent research centres, universities and businesses in the field of wind power with a view to enhancing knowledge on wind farm management and maintenance.
Simulating power fluctuations in large grids of photovoltaic power stations
By knowing the irradiance recorded in one spot, the number of grouped power stations and the average surface area they occupy, we can simulate what fluctuations may take place in photovoltaic power.
Gasification and renewable energies
Gasification is a process that converts organic or fossil fuel based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
To satisfy the natural gas demand in Europe
Europe needs new sources of gas to meet its long-term energy demand, replace its own declining energy production, fuel economic growth and diversify energy supply.
Buoyant future for marine-based energy
A scaled down floating tidal turbine has been successfully put to sea off the Orkney Islands in Scotland, an achievement that represents a significant milestone in the development of a viable European marine-based energy sector.
Switching to energy efficient electrical appliances
Energy consumption has become a key consideration for product manufacturers. The residential/domestic sector makes up about 20 % of global energy consumption, with greenhouse gas emissions from the sector exceeding 35 %.
