The facility will utilise GreenIron's patented hydrogen-based reduction technology for fossil-free metal production. The collaboration centres on the integration of ABB's distributed control system (DCS). This system will manage the industrial process, integrating control, safety, and power management. GreenIron aims to use the DCS to enhance plant visibility, enabling data-driven optimisation and decision-making. 1-255633 Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:48:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/494/234167.html In June 2022, a fire outbreak at a hospital construction site in Istanbul, Turkey, destroyed most of the newly installed medical and security devices, and injured three people. A few days later, firefighters from West Fargo in North Dakota attended a flaming construction site behind the town's Costco. And a month after that, a blaze broke out at a railway development in Stuttgart, Germany. 1-234167 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 12:17:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/640/233249.html Kenya has had to commit roughly 6% of its GDP to deal with the impacts of climate change - resources that could have been invested in other vital areas of development. 1-233249 Mon, 07 Nov 2022 13:30:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.africa/Article/410/640/232834.html Persistently high temperatures and related heat stress are a big problem for people living in cities, especially in slums and informal settlements. It's a problem that is expected to continue. 1-232834 Tue, 25 Oct 2022 11:02:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/702/231624.html As investors in global cities, we have been using planetary-scale environmental geospatial data since 2019. We have been continuously investigating and mining datasets more commonly found in academic research - including those published by space agencies such as NASA - to tease out the key environmental risks of our investments. 1-231624 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 12:49:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/640/231437.html The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved Saint-Gobain's greenhouse gas emission reduction targets as consistent with the organisation's new net-zero standard and the Paris Climate Agreement. Committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Saint-Gobain is the first company in its sector worldwide to receive this approval since the introduction of the new standard at the end of last year. 1-231437 Mon, 12 Sep 2022 12:57:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/494/225564.html 3D printed concrete may lead to a shift in architecture and construction. Because it can be used to produce new shapes and forms that current technologies struggle with, it may change the centuries-old processes and procedures that are still used to construct buildings, resulting in lower costs and saved time. 1-225564 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 09:32:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/640/224687.html Most people now recognise the energy savings benefits of green buildings. These buildings use less water, energy and other natural resources. In some cases, they can increase biodiversity, produce their own energy and reduce the urban heat island effect. 1-224687 Thu, 03 Feb 2022 08:23:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/704/224228.html Limiting climate change will require an unprecedented global movement to make low-carbon technologies the norm. COP26 - the UN climate conference held last November in Glasgow - showed that, unfortunately, the world is far from ready for such a movement. Many leaders still assume that reducing emissions and growing their countries' economies aren't compatible goals. 1-224228 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 06:07:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/492/223992.html It's been claimed that technology is the answer to the climate crisis. By eventually separating economic growth from its effects on the environment through improving energy efficiency, the argument runs, better technology promises to prevent catastrophic global warming. 1-223992 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 14:28:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development Sweden
