In order to meet Europe's ambitious climate targets, greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced by 2030. To achieve this, around 28 million multi-family houses with over 80 million households must be equipped with photovoltaics. Accordingly, Infineon has introduced a solar power sharing technology.

Based on its medium and long-term environmental vision, the 'Fujitsu Climate and Energy Vision,' Fujitsu has demonstrated its commitment to contributing to the realisation of a carbon-neutral society and adaptation to climate change with a pledge to source 100% of its energy needs for its global Shiodome HQ building from October 2021.

Sulzer Chemtech’s innovative EU-funded Arbaflame project is aiming to produce 70,000 tonnes of biomass-based combustibles per year to enable clean power generation.

The way volcanoes are now being monitored is improving rapidly. As technology continues to evolve, it’s now enabling scientists to use software which can help detect in situ electrical discharges during explosive events at volcanoes around the world.

Samotics, a provider of smart industrial analytics to prevent unplanned down-time and energy waste, has been selected by Thames Water Utilities as its sole supplier for electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology through at least 2025.

Tony Armstrong, Business Development Director at Analog Devices (ADI) explains how wireless sensor nodes are becoming a key application for energy harvesting.

In industrial automation machinery, regenerative braking is a technique employing the existing structures and energy of electric motors (and their drives) along with dedicated subcomponents to slow, stop, and re-actuate axes. Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains further.

Energy storage is a key enabler for the ongoing electrification of carbon-intensive sectors, namely the automotive and energy industries. Developments in energy storage are driven by the increased uptake of EVs and the balancing of renewable electricity grids to provide power during low solar and wind periods. IDTechEx have developed a portfolio of energy storage research to help clients make strategic business decisions and capitalise from these...

New solar photovoltaic inverters will be showcased by Delta at Intersolar 2021 in Munich (October 6–8).

Semtech Corporation has announced its collaboration with Cloud Energy, a leading Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider in Vietnam, for the development and deployment of a network running on the LoRaWAN standard for a wireless solar power system installed onfacility rooftops.
