This should be an interesting look at the pricing and supply effects proposed CO2 sequestration pipelines will have on industries that utilize CO2. Strategies for avoiding or mitigating these effects should comprise a significant risk reduction component in the planning processes of current industrial CO2 users.

What is currently on the #CPO agenda? Many things, from systematicallyreducing #cost to getting a grip on #CO2 reduction. For successfully tackling those challenges, deep technical expertise is needed. So join our upcoming „Power Hour” where POLARIXPARTNER GmbH (a Roland Berger company) shares insights, together with experts from the industry. The potential of a structured value and cost management approach and use of CO2 methodology will be demonstrated through two practical examples.

Ryszard Pawlik, parliamentary advisor to EU Member Jerzy Buzek, said that the EU had endeavoured to include scrap in the CRM list, but after consultations with EU Member States this item was removed. Buzek expressed hope that the list will be periodically reviewed. Tomasz Slezak, CEO of Weglokoks, stated that coking coal will remain an EU CRM if steel remains a strategic material.

Herbert Wirth from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology stated that there are significant amounts of CRMs such as cobalt and vanadium in copper waste in #Poland, and expressed that they expect support from the state for the recovery of these valuable substances. Sodium is also abundant in Poland. EU Member Jerzy Buzek emphasised that fair #greentransformation is key for a sustainable European economy and that measures such as domestic production and #recycling should be taken alongside environmental measures.

One of the key drivers for the circular economy is the use of IT. Our customer, GoodSolutions.se, based in Sweden, has a great tool that can identify and reduce energy waste while also providing data for CO2 reporting. This is a win-win for manufacturers as it saves money and helps our planet. Let's work together to achieve climate goals! #circulareconomy #businessdevelopment #manufacturing #sustainability #greenbusiness

Impact of future marine fuels on lubricant formulations. The drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping means the adoption of lower carbon fuels and improvements to engine efficiency are essential. This combination poses new challenges for marine lubricants, which will drive the need new lubricant additive technologies

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm spoke to Chris Hayes about the gains being made in the renewable energy sector, much of which is under the tip of the iceberg. Keep an eye on how much of this advancement occurs before the fall elections. #manufacturing #manufacturingsector #economy #renewableenergy #bidenharrisadministration #elections2024

Investment into renewable energy technology is flowing. Opportunities abound. As economies recalibrate for the new climate reality, fortune will favour those who take action to do something about it.

Re-engineering the key pillars of our industrial operating system is happening and is driving a manufacturing renaissance in the United States. It’s hard to overstate the scale. More challenges lay ahead, to be sure, but this change will result in: - less economic vulnerability to hostile petro-states - lower costs for vehicle fuel and personal mobility - easier path to higher reliance on variable sources of renewable energy like wind and solar as vehicle batteries become “dispatch able grid resources “ - a more resilient electric system where households can ‘ride through’ unplanned outages #v2gnow
