• Webinar & E-Learning 5 March 2020 Zero Carbon Emissions in Digitalization (Webinar) - 03.03.2020 Today, nearly half of the global population has internet access through computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Digital technologies make our society more connected, reliable, efficient and intelligent. However while digitalization has opened up unbelievable opportunities for individuals and organizations, it also puts a heavy price on carbon emissions. How much carbon footprint does the information and communications technology (ICT) sector produce? Is consumer use a major cause of the carbon…
• Podcast 6 February 2020 Embodied carbon in construction materials - the new concern for architects Problem: Production of the currently preferred construction materials for the building industry is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally Key message: As buildings become increasingly energy efficient in most parts of the world, the production of the construction materials mostly used - concrete, steel and glass - become the buildings' most severe climate impact. To reduce this climate impact a rethink of the materials that go into construction is necessary.
• Webinar & E-Learning 19 December 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) – 04.12.2019 The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…
• Webinar & E-Learning 10 September 2019 Analysis of hydrogen fuel cell and battery efficiency (Presentation) – 27.02.2019 The transition towards a world free of carbon emissions will determine the future of this generation. The scale required for the energy transition is massive and affects every sector of the economy. Except electricity, hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources might be an alternative if cost effective and efficient production technologies can be developed. As the world accelerating its effort to reduce – and even eliminate – the use of fossil fuels from the energy sector, electric…
• Webinar & E-Learning 8 March 2019 Carbon Reduction and Energy Efficiency in the Water and Wastewater sector (Webinar) - 20.03.2019 The linkages between water and energy consumption are significant. To produce energy, water is needed and, likewise, the provision and treatment of water requires the consumption of energy, in particular of electricity (ca. 60%). Reports and analysis demonstrated that the water sector is becoming more energy-intensive, while the energy sector is increasing its water-intensity. In 2014, 120 Mtoe of energy was used in the water sector only, and the growing global water use suggests that the…
