Pipeline operations are vastly different than they were just five or ten short years ago. One key area in which this is true is in the rise of renewables and sustainability. Today's pipelines are moving new products like hydrogen or carbon dioxide (CO) from carbon capture operations along with the old standards, and these changes significantly impact their operations.

The ANDREW® brand was once synonymous with innovation in telecom network components. However, the brand became less prominent for over a decade within CommScope's outdoor wireless networks (OWN) and distributed antenna systems (DAS) businesses — until the first of February, when the electronics giant Amphenol bought the two business units, comprising all ANDREW staff and assets, in a $2.1 billion cash deal.

A C$2 billion green hydrogen plant being proposed Prince George by Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), for example, calls for a 1,000 megawatt electrolyser. That's about 4,600 gigawatts per hour (GW/h), or 90% of the new Site C dam's generating capacity. The McLeod Lake Indian Band and Mitsubishi also announced a plan earlier this year to build a green and blue hydrogen plant north of Prince George.

Giant buoys over 60-feet tall may one day generate clean energy to feed into local power grids—but making it a reality isn't as simple as going with the ocean's flow. To successfully keep the idea afloat, it's all about timing.

The funds will be provided through Spain's recovery and resilience plan (PRTR) under NextGenEU, which aims to incentivise the production of equipment and components for solar panels, batteries and electrolysers, among other technologies. In total, nearly €300 million has been allocated to 34 projects for renewables manufacturing.

The celebrated Scottish poet, Rabbie Burns, famously said that "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry". Viewed by many as prescient, my hope is that his words don't prove accurate, particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement has seen governments and companies outlining plans to transition society to net zero carbon by 2050.

This week I had an excellent discussion related to hydrogen as an aviation fuel. A master's thesis candidate assembled a panel of experts to enable her thesis, and I was delighted to participate as the acknowledged "It ain't gonna fly" representative among a panel of people who were much more positive about hydrogen's potential.

As renewable energy generation continues to grow, the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in solar farms has become increasingly important for stabilizing the grid and enabling the integration of intermittent solar and wind power. The permitting process to build a BESS facility often requires a formal plan for site decommissioning and disposal, even if this won't happen for many years.

(Nanowerk News) The latest wearable devices, such as Samsung's Galaxy Ring and Apple's Vision Pro, are taking healthcare a step further and even enabling people to work virtually. Given the characteristics of wearable devices that require them to be small and lightweight, there is an inevitable limitation on battery capacity, still presenting a technical barrier to incorporating a variety of functions.
