Read this week’s latest Hark Friday Five our best energy, sustainability, technology and IIoT stories and trends.
Hark sat down with Leeds City Council’s Polly Cook to talk sustainability challenges (and solutions) in the Leeds area.
When it comes to getting the best out of your data, there’s only one team to call…
Now that 2021 feels like a distant dream; COP26, the UK energy crisis, the COVID pandemic all echoing around us – all of which being huge catalysts for smart tech integration, the question seems to beckon: are the promises of the last year being brought to fruition?
The power infrastructure in the UK is in a major transitional phase and with the PM stating that all of the UK’s electricity is going to come from clean energy sources by 2035; as COP26 progresses we expect more news on the clean power era to come.
Shift patterns and shift management plays a huge role in the energy efficiency and productivity of industrial assets. Providing insight into asset shifts is the key to discovering system inefficiencies and unlocking control strategies which can simplify operation and ensure production targets are met.
Last Thursday, we were proud to host Becoming Greener: The Corporate Sustainability Summit as part of the 2021 Leeds Digital Festival. Individual behaviour changes will only get us so far on the road to a more sustainable planet. What we really need is for companies and organisations to get fully behind the green movement to ensure their practices have as little negative environmental impact as possible.
Whilst organisations are at terms with energy price increases through the colder months of the year, they may not be quite prepared for what’s now upon the UK.
Creating an energy baseline is a game-changer when it comes to the analysis of changes to your assets, systems or sites. With an energy baseline, you’ll be able to monitor the effectiveness of a change by comparing the data before and after the change is made. This article is all about how to get an energy baseline set up.
A few weeks ago, when the world opened up again – albeit only slightly – I trotted off to a campsite in North Yorkshire for some much-needed R&R and a little detachment from the grid. I was expecting the fully off-grid experience, but was pleasantly surprised to find a solar powered bathroom on the campsite. It seemed that the estate of the campsite was powered by its own microgrid, which got me thinking about off-grid and microgrid living…
All renewable energy sources, past, present and future have got their own benefits and caveats, this is true. But I have to admit the renewables of the future are cool as heck…
It can be easy to fear the gloomy-reality of climate change, but the facts and figures tell us we’re on the way to a much more sustainable future. Did you know the UK was 42.9% fuelled by renewables in Spring 2020?
