In our home town of Coventry, the UK’s first all-electric ambulance has been launched by the West Midlands Ambulance Service. Here, Roger Brereton, Head of Sales atPailton Engineering, highlights some of the recent progress toward low carbon emergency services vehicles and the engineering challenges that remain.

Designed to withstand extremely harsh environments, Nautilus cable assemblies with stainless steel (303) SMA connectors offer peak performance against corrosion. They are rated to IP67, IP68 and, for the first time in the Nautilus range, IP69K for high pressure and high temperature washdown protection.

The delivery of tomorrow’s clean electricity will be through an infrastructure characterised by diverse and widely distributed generating sites and predicated on technologies that must deliver continuously increasing performance and energy efficiency. Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics, explains.

Backed by the energy regulator Ofgem, 300 homes in Scotland will soon become the first in the world to use 100% green hydrogen, in a four-year trial that will further cement the UK’s green recovery. Here Luke Worrall, Business Development Manager atNerG, explores the implications and explains how businesses can use existing CHP technology to save money now, while futureproofing their investment as the UK transitions to hydrogen power.

New investment in renewable energy projects and companies totalled $174bn in the first half of 2021, supported by record public market financing and record levels of venture capital and private equity commitments, according to the latest Renewable Energy Investment Tracker from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). This is the highest total ever recorded in the first half of any year, and 1.8% more than during the same time a year prior, although...

CPI has announced the launch of the FASTACEJET project to optimise technology for the scalable, cost-effective and energy-efficient production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The outcomes of this project have the potential to minimise reliance on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the global aviation industry.

Hydrogen production is getting a considerable amount of interest, particularly in the last year. Because of the large interest, boost by the EU green deal which promotes the adoption of hydrogen technologies to reduce CO2 emissions, IDTechEx has recently investigated the electrolyser market, investigating the technical and market aspects of the different electrolysers systems.

Parker Hannifin has announced that it will showcase a selection of its comprehensive H2 solutions at the Hydrogen Online Workshop 2021. Hydrogen Online Workshop is a 24-hour event, involving more than 15,000 professionals from the H2 community worldwide.

Philip K. Dick’s 1964 science fiction novel,Martian Time-Slip, imagined a human colony on Mars reliant on waterways, allotments and robots. Today, such quaint sci-fi concepts are actual scientific possibilities now that we better understand the resources that are available on the red planet. Here, Samir Jaber, engineering content writer atMatmatch, examines how materials testing could make or break humanity’s future on Mars.

Whether hydrogen fuel holds the key to delivering widespread renewable power remains under heavy debate. What cannot be argued is the shear investment that backers are putting into the energy source -as much as €470bn by 2050. When sceptics protest hydrogen’s potential, as both an effectiveandeco-friendly fuel source, it’s important that they see the bigger picture. Mats W. Lundberg, Head of Sustainability atSandvik, examines the...
