Heat exchangers deliver pasteurisation to New Zealand AD plant

Anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce biogas and biomethane has huge potential to generate renewable energy, as well as treat a wide range of organic wastes and provide biofertiliser in the form of digestate (the solid, fibrous material left over in the reactor after the AD process is complete). Here, Matt Hale from HRS Heat Exchangers, explains some of the options for pasteurising materials in the digester.

How a digital twin is being used to optimise energy use in historic buildings

A live digital twin model is being used by Glasgow City Council to identify patterns of energy use in historic buildings located in its largest park. Dave Sweeney, Product Manager at IES, explains how the advanced visualisation concept works with a sensitive approach to optimising Grade A listed buildings and associated structures.

From uncertainty towards independence – one path to self-sufficient energy systems

Global industry accounts for a significant proportion of energy consumption and the sector faces increasing pressure to turn to renewables. Here, Stefan Hufnagl from energy software provider COPA-DATA, explains why industrial consumers should consider becoming more independent from energy markets to reduce energy costs and ensure stability.

Asian action: a diverse picture of energy transition activity

Asia is a very large and diverse part of the world. At International Energy Week in February, a distinguished panel moderated by Mark Gainsborough FEI, Chairman of Seatrium, discussed the manifold challenges and opportunities of the energy transition for Asia, with regions both energy rich and energy poor working towards decarbonisation, new infrastructure and technology innovation. New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis reports.

Bioenergy turns up the heat in the UK

The UK’s journey on the road to net zero will be powered in part by sustainable bioenergy according to the government’s Biomass Strategy, published last year. But how much of this zero-carbon energy can the UK produce and how much is needed as part of the energy mix? asks energy journalist Nick Cottam.

CCS offers Humber a new pipeline to prosperity

The Viking Humber carbon capture and storage (CCS) project has the potential to become a leading UK initiative, integrating the decarbonisation of key industry sectors with advanced carbon emission handling infrastructure and transport providers. The ambitious project is focused on delivery and storage of one third of the UK target of 30mn tonnes of CO₂ capture by 2030. New Energy World reports.

Will all-solid-state batteries dominate the electric vehicle market?

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) seem to provide many advantages over the current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in electric vehicles (EVs). However, the technology has yet to be fully industrialised or commercialised. As a result, Dr Daniel Aronov, CTO at StoreDot, questions whether they will supersede the latest LIBs.

Green ammonia plant plans for Norway

Narvik Green Ammonia (NGA) is an ambitious joint development planned by Aker Horizons and Statkraft, two of Norway’s leading energy players. Together they aim to build a green ammonia production facility, converting renewable power into ammonia to meet European demand for non-fossil fuels, explain Rob Marshall, Asset Development Director, and Armand Breuer, Project Director, both of Aker Horizons.
