Power On Connections is the UKs largest and leading Independent Connections Provider (ICO) specialising in designing and delivering high voltage and low voltage electrical infrastructure to commercial, industrial, retail and city living developments.

The Nordic Built 'Active Roofs and Facades' project reveals how building renovations can be developed with sustainable energy in mind.

The background of building renovation in both Nordic and European projects, where actual energy use is quite often 30-40% higher in practice compared to what was expected from calculations, and where innovative solutions are seldom used, is very much connected to the way the building industry is organised. Here,...

The Circumpolar North is one of the most rapidly-changing places on earth, warming at over twice the global average, and in some regions at excess of 3ºC. This has led to disruptions for the indigenous people living in the Circumpolar North, including Inuit in North Canada.

Climate change is one of the world’s toughest challenges. Despite evidence from both sides to debate the magnitude of the problem, the evidence overwhelmingly supports that climate change is real and accelerating. In order to tackle the problem, experts believe that change is needed – within society.

To increase the share of biomass for renewable energy supply in Europe conversion pathways which are low cost and energy efficient, as well as flexible in feedstock are demanded. The BioBoost project aims to make a substantial improvement towards increasing the efficiency of the use if biomass and organic...

e-Storage Solutions Ltd. has discovered an alternative approach to designing and assembling pressure vessels with a significant cost advantage compared to conventional pressure vessels in order to store mass-energy in the form of compressing gas.

CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) from industrial sources such as fossil-fuel-based power stations, refineries, steel or cement plants followed by compression of this CO2 into a highly dense liquid form, and its injection deep underground into the pore space (i.e. the...

GNB® Industrial Power, a division of Exide Technologies, is one of the world’s leading producers of lead-acid batteries for industrial applications such as renewable energy, telecommunication systems, railways, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), fork lift trucks and electric vehicles.

A basis for a completely new way to build in Europe has been created by the recast of the EU Energy Performance for Buildings Directive from 2010, which demands that new buildings should achieve a nearly-zero energy standard based on local renewable energy sources already from 2018 for new...
