The New Lean Manufacturing Incorporates Energy Efficiency
Manufacturing throughout the world is becoming leaner. That translates into less waste, less cost, less energy. It also means higher production and greater optimization. Anything that contributes to greater efficiency in production is now bundled into the concept of lean.
Low Energy Prices Impede US Industrial Efficiency and Resiliency
A paper from KfW Economic Research from April 2013 entitled _Fracking – you snooze, you lose?_ by Tobias Rehbock and Peter Kolbe has gained relatively little attention. But as the fracking debate in Europe heats up, the paper seems to offer a very timely input to the European debate, not only on fracking but on competitiveness, growth and jobs in general.
Integrating Fuel Cell Systems in Critical Industrial Processes
In the past few years there has been increasing emergence and market penetration of new fuel cell technologies.
Liquid-Cooled vs. Air-Cooled: A Study in Data Center Energy Use
PALO ALTO, Calif. – Liquid-cooled servers at a data center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used less energy in certain circumstances than air-cooled servers on site, a lab researcher said Tuesday at the sixth annual Data Center Efficiency Summit hosted by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG).
Energy Measuring and Evaluation Toolset Developed for HPC Data Centers
Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a key factor for many modern high-performance computing (HPC) datacenters. It poses various challenges, which need to be addressed holistically and in an integrated manner, covering the HPC system environment (system hardware and system software),
Department of Energy Opening CHP Technical Assistance Partnerships
The Energy Department has launched seven new regional Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnerships across the country in a bid to strengthen US manufacturing competitiveness, lower energy consumption, and reduce harmful emissions.
The Alliance to Save Energy: Learn How Businesses Are Becoming Energy Efficient
Industry surveys indicate that, mainly through procedural and behavioral changes, the average plant can reduce its energy consumption by 10 to 20 percent. Many companies are joining in to do their part in becoming energy efficient.
