Summer highlights 🛫: Key European regulatory developments for eSAF 🗳 Von der Leyen re-elected: Congratulations to Ursula von der Leyen on her re-election. Her leadership will be instrumental in driving Europe's industrial competitiveness. 💡 Antwerp Declaration: The Antwerp Declaration highlights the importance of eSAF for Europe's energy and industrial autonomy. 📌 ReFuelEU Implementation: Arcadia eFuels is eager to collaborate with EASA and the European Commission (DG Move) as part of the ReFuelEU implementation through the RLCF. ♻ Denmark's certification scheme: The provisional certification scheme in Denmark is excellent news for the industry, paving the way for eSAF adoption. Pictured below is our flagship site in Vordingborg, Denmark were we will produce eSAF at scale. Let's work together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable aviation future and the usage of eSAF! #sustainableaviation #eFuels #climatechange #policy #Europe #Denmark #ReFuelEU #eSAF #SAF

The North American Accreditation Forum (NAAF) Board of Directors held a meeting Tuesday, October 8, 2024, in Berlin, Germany. The NAAF meeting was held during the joint annual meetings of both International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), at the same location. NAAF is a nonprofit organization created to promote the exchange of knowledge, ideas and views on conformity assessment and accreditation in support of the principles of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). NAAF participation in ILAC-IAF meeting ensures that we remain aligned with international standards, boosting trade, innovation, and consumer safety. By actively engaging with international partners, we help foster mutual recognition agreements that eliminate technical barriers, enabling easier and more reliable cross-border trade.

Did you know that MEWP incidents involving entrapment and crushing increased from 35 in 2021, to 46 in 2022? As a result of this International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) have released guidance on how to avoid entrapment and crushing while working from MEWPS as part of their latest campaign.

Unifying the message of Interoperability in Process Control. #openprocessautomation #universalautimation #processcontrol #opcua #opa #interoperability #digitaltransformation

Great to see complementary standards collaborating! As always the strength is in the combination.

Looks like not an accident. It could be a process upset. Reason1: Steel tapped with high oxygen potential by EAF/BOF and failed to add tapping addition (basic deoxidizers), results boiling occurred while transfer the ladle. Reason2: Failed to accommodate proper free board on Steel ladle.

It’s clear from this comparison that the future of producing a steel which is environmentally friendly ( with low carbon emissions ) and with optimized consumption of raw materials is greatly dependent on the use of EAF . The use of EAF ensures the following: ✅ less use and consumption of coke ➡️ Less carbon emissions. ✅ optimized consumption of iron ore ➡️ Enhancing sustainability ✅ increased consumption of ferrous scrap ➡️ Enhancing recycling rates. The main challenge will be the availability of ferrous scrap and improving its quality .And introducing of new methods to produce iron ore using clean technologies ( like reducing by green hydrogen) 🌿
