Simple steps to reduce carbon emissions and cut costs

Simple steps to reduce carbon emissions and cut costs

The manufacturing industry is widely known as an energy-intensive sector, accounting for around 12 percent of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, however, it has made great strides to become more sustainable and resource efficient, and this forms a large part of our work at the University of Strathclyde's Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), part of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland.

SPME series, single-phase DIN rail power supplies

Carlo Gavazzi has launched its latest range of compact single-phase power supplies. The SPME range offers four width sizes, starting from a narrow 17.5mm wide 15W design, to a maximum of 100W output with a width of only 70mm.

Time for industries to prioritise sustainability: 5 steps for evolving the industrial business model

Time for industries to prioritise sustainability: 5 steps for evolving the industrial business model

While sustainability has become a key industrial concern, the sector has found it difficult to make significant progress. Operating sustainably means industrial companies must simultaneously meet environmental, economic and social measures.

Microchip launches radiation-tolerant power management device space applications

Microchip launches radiation-tolerant power management device space applications

The commercialisation of the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) region is transforming space exploration and satellite communication at roughly 1,200 miles above Earth. For satellites successfully to operate and reach their destination, it is essential to select components that can withstand the harsh space environment.

Are floating wind turbines the answer to renewable power?

Are floating wind turbines the answer to renewable power?

Back in 2019, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised 40GW of UK offshore wind power by 2030. In early 2022, the Government raised that target to 50GW, with an additional 5GW from floating wind turbines. But are floating wind farms the solution to existing offshore power problems? Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall Resistors, explores the technology behind floating wind farms.
