• Land Use Futures: Making the most of land in the 21st century

    Foresight, Government Office for Science

    This Project has taken a broad and overarching look at the future of UK land use over the next 50 years.

  • Less is More

    Fridolin Weindl, BSH
    BSH Group

    Less is more – This applies especially where the environment is concerned. Less energy consumption means more climate protection, because using energy efficiently is the fastest and easiest way to save energy and avoid CO2 emissions. This applies to all areas of life – including the “little things”. With super-efficient home appliances, every household can reduce its power and water consumption considerably. And that benefits our climate and our budgets.  more[...]  login_required

  • The Sustainable Potential in Energy Efficiency

    Lisbet Bræmer-Jensen, Grundfos & ‘Act NOW‘
    Grundfos

    The human race is facing one of its biggest challenges, and if ignored, it could potentially spiral out of control. Over the past century, the rising global population has triggered a massive growth in industry development, leading to a bottleneck effect where existing resources are disappearing and the challenge to discover new energy sources has become a top priority. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the world’s energy consumption has increased on average 1.4 percent every year since 1990. It is forecasted to continue, which will result in a 49 percent increase in energy consumption from now until 2035.  more[...]

  • Improvements in processing plants

    Copeinca

    COPEINCA’s environmental management is oriented toward efficiency in the process of production. We have modernized and re-promoted our processing plants to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the fuel used for the production of fishmeal. The process is now efficient thanks to the technological implementations and innovations that allow us to produce fishmeal of better quality with Steam Dried technology instead of Direct Fire technology. This innovation has allowed us to not only reduce the amount of gas emissions and particulate materials released into the environment, but also to create a type of fishmeal with better levels of protein.  more[...]  login_required

  • FDS™: A Small-Scale Farming Revolution

    Netafim

    Hundreds of millions of smallholders are struggling to survive from subsistence farming in developing countries across South America, Asia, and Africa. Given the lack of water infrastructure throughout these and other areas, there is a critical need to make the most of the limited available water sources in such regions. In response, OECD countries, international donors, and NGOs have been promoting technologies such as drip irrigation, which optimizes resources, enhances global food security, and promotes sustainable productivity.  more[...]  login_required
