This is a recent presentation to One Stop Shops by Carl Raftery who is an Architectural Conservation Advisor with the National Built Heritage Service in the Department of Housing, Local Government, and heritage. Carl gives an overview on the recently published guidance document - Improving Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings: Guidance for Specifiers and Installers (DHLHG 2023) and highlights some of the key areas to consider when upgrading traditionally built homes.

On Thursday 21 November 2024, the Investors Dialogue on Energy hosted its seventh webinar on the European Wind Power Action Plan. Experts from the European Commission and WindEurope discussed the progress of its implementation, the European Investment Bank's counter-guarantee scheme for the wind sector, and the latest investment trends in wind energy.

Europe’s energy system of today and tomorrow requires flexibility to enhance resilience, integrate low-cost renewables, avoid or delay expensive grid upgrades, and ultimately reduce costs for all energy system users. The good news is that by smartly charging an electric vehicle (EV), and smartly heating water and/or a home, the electrification of transport and heating opens up new money and carbon saving opportunities for consumers and energy systems through flexible consumption. In this video, Jaap Burger, senior advisor with RAP, takes a look at how and where smart energy tariffs and services have almost tripled in the last three years. He has found more than 400 tariffs and services that allow Europeans to adapt their EV or heat pump to (static or dynamic) time-varying energy and grid tariffs, their own rooftop solar generation, the current grid mix and local or national grid situations. This video accompanies our report Imagine all the people: Strong growth in tariffs and services for demand-side flexibility in Europe that can be f9und here: https://www.raponline.org/toolkit/strong-growth-in-tariffs-and-services-for-demand-side-flexibility-in-europe/ Another helpful resource (also mentioned in the video) is our 2022 report The time is now: smart charging of electric vehicles, which can be found here: https://www.raponline.org/knowledge-center/time-is-now-smart-charging-electric-vehicles/

China’s fuel and chemicals strategy has focused on maximising use of its indigenous coal to protect its economy from wide variations in the price of imported oil and gas. Coal to tar chemicals is well established but coal gasification and liquefaction are new industries now of global scale. Coal gasification in China is the largest consumer of coal after power, steel and cement. Syngas can be used to make key products generally obtained from petrochemicals and more, including hydrogen and ammonia. The future of the coal gasification industry in China is under pressure due to its poor utilisation of coal carbon and consequent high emissions that are incompatible with national targets. Future options to reduce carbon intensity may come from renewable energy and carbon capture. More environmental issues are emerging that are in common with Petrochemicals. Beyond gasification the development of graphitic products using a coal feedstock is advancing with new applications. The discovery of critical elements at a former coal mine is an exciting development in using coal as a resource given tightening international export control. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Presenter: Ian Reid https://www.sustainable-carbon.org/team/dr-ian-reid/ Download this presentation: https://www.sustainable-carbon.org/webinar/coal-as-a-resource-gasification-and-chemicals/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Website: https://www.sustainable-carbon.org/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/icscarbon #coal #carbon #china #gasification #coalgasification #hydrogen #ammonia #coalliquefaction

Workshop covering: • How Organisations should go about collecting energy data from Oct- March23/24 (6 months) to use as a baseline against the current campaign ie Bills. Delivery Dockets, Meter readings, Flowmeters and other records. • Conversion factors to kWhs for solid and liquid fuels. • How organisations move forward when they have this baseline in place to track monthly energy use to see progress, and to compare it to the previous winter.
