The smart technology group, Wärtsilä, has agreed to provide €500,000 in seed funding to Soletair Power Oy, a Finland based startup company operating in the field of Power-to-X. Soletair Power Oy has developed a unique concept to improve air quality in buildings by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and converting it to synthetic renewable fuel.

A zero-emission reachstacker featuring a hydrogen fuel cell is being developed by Hyster Europe for the Port of Valencia, as part of the European Horizon 2020 programme and H2Ports project. The port will be the first in Europe to incorporate hydrogen energy in its operations.

Recently the VDMA founded the 'Power-to-X Application working group' to develop the ideas and concepts around the important topic of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.As the search for the solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally continues, it has been acknowledged that fossil fuels must be replaced. Power-to-X application is being studied by the VDMA working group as it offers one remedy whereby green electricity is turned into synt...

Privately-held, veteran-owned, designer and manufacturer of standard and custom optoelectronics components and assemblies, Marktech Optoelectronics, has announced its successful in-house development of InP epitaxial crystal mass production technologies for ultra-high-speed (5G) large-capacity signal processing applications.

Contaminants, such as oxides, water, organic substances and dust, often cover a surface in layers due to natural exposure in air. While the surface may appear clean to the human eye, such contaminants can impair further treatment such as bonding, printing, painting or coating. Here Peter Swanson, Managing Director of Intertronics discusses plasma cleaning technology and its benefits.

A large proportion of the cost, disruption, pollution and exposure to natural disasters in a city would be eliminated if there were no infrastructure. Imagine no sewage or gas pipes, electricity poles or even sidewalks from which people leap into the face of approaching traffic. Poor sanitation such as leaking pipes kills half a million children under the age of five annually and costs $200bn a year in healthcare costs and lost income worldwide.

The rising interconnectivity among devices in industries is opening up the market for wireless gas sensors. These sensors can be installed in smartphones and are designed to support Bluetooth, WiFi, near-field communication, and other wireless connections. Their portability, low power requirements, and high-performance potential make them well suited for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The ready to use spray from Cortec, the VpCI-329 D ES, reportedly provides strong rust prevention for metals in indoor and outdoor sheltered conditions. The product can be easily applied/sprayed from a handheld trigger spray bottle. It offers a convenient way to protect gears, spindles, coils, or any other metal parts that require a light coat of oil for further processing and shipment.

In a deal that secures a long-term future for battery-powered trains in the UK,Hoppecke Industrial Batteriesand Vivarail have confirmed that they will be working together to design and integrate batteries to power Vivarail's Class 230 passenger trains.In October this yearVivaraillaunched the UK's first passenger train powered by a mobile charging unit developed by Hoppecke, the UK's industrial power specialist.

As several US cities have shown, sensors and data processing gets us pothole counting and prediction for example. However, it is now clear that smart cities can be zero emission, quiet and make all their own clean water, food and electricity. That beats counting potholes any day. Indeed, smart materials are leading to modular roads made from recycled plastic that are hollow, taking flood water, generate their own electricity for self de-icing and...
