Global Mining Guidelines Group – GMG’s Post

Just finished reading @Oddgeir Gudmundsson’s paper on the challenges facing district energy digitalization. Yes, we have a long road ahead of us, but it’s great to see that we have the technology and solutions necessary to digitalize DHC systems. And that Danfoss is working with organizations like the IAE and the Danish Energy Authority to identify and tackle the barriers to digitalization. Great read, Oddgeir.         https://lnkd.in/ee2qHvjk #decarbonization #DHC #districtenergy #IAEreport #districtheating #districtcooling 

⚡️ With electrification ramping up all over the world to contribute to the goal of Net Zero Carbon Emissions, one question comes to mind: Is our existing electrical infrastructure ready to handle it? This video looks into that question and how it can be remedied.

ICYMI: Special Issue - 2023 - 08 - Electrification in Transportation

Fleet electrification is a sequence of events: plan, design, build, deploy, operate. Planning with EVopt will determine: Where to deploy What to buy How to fund When to upgrade #FleetElectrification #FleetManagement #FleetPlanning #FMC #ElectricVehicles #ZEV #ACF #ZeroEmissions #RightSizeCharging #TransportationDecarbonization #PublicTransit #ZEFTP #ZeroEmissionsTransit #LowNo #CleanSchoolBus #ElectricSchoolBuses #Microgrids #Resilience

As we look to the future, it’s important to see what technology is available presently. We’ve heard of maglev trains and wirelessly charging cell phones, but this technology goes beyond your typical applications. We are able to make powered roads, that can charge vehicles while they drive. Imagine that instead of going to a gas station to fill up, all you need to do is go on the wireless EZpass lane of the highway that also fills your car while piloting you to Exit 11N. This is not a technology gap, this is an adoption gap, from OEMs and local governments. This cures range anxiety as long distance travel is only limited by your distance to the highway. So when people are convinced fuels are still the future of society, ask them how they plan to dynamically fill their gas tank, and how they fill their tank from self supply at home. Wireless electricity is just more convienient, while also being more efficient, and cost effective, and safer, and higher performance. Adoption is swift when there are less compromises to be made and more benefits to be gained. And everyone is entitled to their own weighting system. However regardless of weighting system the clear choice is becoming electric, regardless of subjective personal beliefs, as objective data is forcing businesses to adopt the highest margin solutions. Which means the highest benefit for the lowest cost with the least waste. So do yourself a favor and if given the option to upgrade from a recurring fuel/utility payment to a battery and self generation, do so. Your bank account will thank you. The Chevy Bolt EV is $28,610 for 5 years of ownership according to Kelly Blue Book. That is at least $3,000 cheaper than the next available car, regardless of ICE or EV. But if you want the safest car that has ever been made (Tesla Model Y with a score of 364/400), you will join the ranks of those purchasing the worlds most popular car model with 1.2 Million sold in 2023. Plus the NACS charging network has higher uptime and prevalence than anything that combining multiple CCS charging networks have been able to provide. This isn’t a “do it for the world” plea with respect to climate change or local emission pollution. Do what’s best for yourself based on your own moral beliefs, and do it with REAL DATA comparing apples to apples. - less extracted material vs fuel (tanks) - less cobalt than fuel (to remove sulphur) - less energy than fuel (efficiency) - less emissions than fuel (NOx, SOx, CO2) - less pollution than fuel (fracking waste) - less cost per mile (efficiency) - less fires per sale and mile

Came across this interesting video on 'reconductoring' or replacing existing high tension transmission lines with more advanced technologies. It means you get less loss, higher capacity and higher safety all without having to build more towers - which are unpopular. Apparently shifting from older ACSR / ACCR lines (Aluminium Conductor Composite Reinforced) to newer ACCC lines (Aluminium Conductor Composite Core) can double the capacity of lines. Does anyone know what the prevailing technology is in Australia? Have we got any ACCC lines? https://lnkd.in/g_bFAQyH

Ballard Power Systems announced the signing of a new long-term supply agreement (LTSA) with NFI Group, marking a new phase in the established partnership between Ballard and NFI, focused on deployment-level volumes of #fuelcell powered buses across all of NFI’s major brands including New Flyer, Alexander Dennis and MCI. As part of the LTSA, NFI has placed its first purchase order under the agreement for a minimum of 100 FCmove-HD+ modules for planned delivery in 2024. The modules will primarily be produced in Ballard’s Bend, Oregon facility with Buy America compliance, and will power New Flyer’s next generation Xcelsior CHARGE FC #H2 #fuelcellbuses for deployment across the U.S. and Canada, including California, Manitoba, Nevada, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. #preciousmetals #platinum #netzero #sustainability  #renewableenergy  #climatechange #hydrogeneconomy #PGMs https://lnkd.in/eVG4U2Fd

Shaping the future grid takes leaders like Peter Muhoro from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative , Roger Kranenburg from Eversource Energy, Raghusimha Sudhakara from ConEd and Ahmed Mousa, Ph.D. from PSEG coming together for frank discussions with each other, their large energy customers, city and county stakeholders, industry and lab innovators, and regulators. It's ultimately a human solution and when we open the aperture up towards who we are talking to, great ideas can come to fruition.
