Switzerland-based copyright and royalties agency SUISA has cut datacentre rackspace and energy costs by 50% following a move from EMC all-flash hardware to Pure Storage arrays. The move also allowed it to overcome capacity limitations on the old XtremIO arrays while simplifying storage admin tasks such as provisioning new capacity and upgrading hardware, which now take place non-disruptively.

Penn State researchers have discovered a significant link between low-magnitude microearthquakes and the permeability of subsurface rocks, utilizing machine learning techniques. This breakthrough could enhance the efficiency of geothermal energy production. Geothermal energy generation relies on a permeable subsurface that allows for the effective release of heat when cold fluids are introduced into the rock.

As hydrogen gains prominence amid the global pursuit of decarbonization and energy security, many major infrastructure projects are considering transportation in the form of ammonia, a safer and more cost-effective method for exporting hydrogen supplies in large volumes. Rystad Energy's projections indicate that 174 export terminals will primarily focus on converting hydrogen into ammonia by 2035, accounting for 62% of total exported volumes, or about 13.5 million tonnes per annum (tpa).
