One of the biggest problems that solar energy faces in terms of viability on a large scale is its intermittency. The production process is lacking in stability and is thus unreliable, and to function smoothly for longer periods of time solar energy requires considerable effort from energy storage innovation. Similarly, this also applies to other renewable energies that aren’t a constant – such as wind energy.
One of the main stages of boring wells for the industry is completion, where finishing touches are applied before the wells are fully adapted for the industry.
The plans for IoT have been taking shape for over a decade now, but recently two main categories of IoT applications have emerged: Industrial IoT (IIoT) and commercial IoT for non-business usage.
While the transportation industry is slowly – but relatively determinedly – moving towards a landscape of vehicles powered by electricity, there remain several applications for which traditional fuels will likely remain unthreatened for many decades to come.
If the oil and gas industry is considered slow in its adoption of digital technology, there is one section of industry that typifies this: mining.
One of the biggest pollutants and environmentally unfriendly materials that today’s society still uses in enormous quantities is plastic. Various types of plastics, their endless applications and inexpensive cost suggests its popularity for industrial usage shows no signs of diminishing.
Organisations across many industries can now be seen to different business models not only in how they provide goods and services, but also how they purchase them.
From 12-14 March 2018 Europe’s leading conference and exhibition on high-pressure pipeline systems, the Pipeline Technology Conference, will take place for the 13th time.
We often talk about how data is expanding and how a bigger chunk of it is becoming digital. Many smart systems such as big data tools are not only reading, interpreting and analysing data, but also creating new sets of processed information.
Electric vehicles, or “EVs”, have been the subject of much conversation over the past decade, and not always for positive reasons. Issues regarding range, charging times and the electronic configurations behind them have frequently been met with scrutiny from experts and consumers alike.
