Accelerating the energy transition with smart, standardised solutions creates value in so many ways. Great to be on this journey with Nano One.

‘The ETA changes everything.’    Our ACT technology recently achieved a European Technical Assessment (ETA) which paves the way for a new generation of #LowCarbon cements, which if adopted widely will enable the industry to achieve a 1.5C #decarbonisation trajectory.    By embracing these scalable low-clinker, technologies the #cement industry can now accelerate this transition collectively and can demonstrate leadership as the first major industrial sector to achieve #NetZero by 2050.   #FutureOfCement #Technology #Innovation #SustainableConstruction #AdvancingNetZero | Eoin Condren

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and series production - do they go together? YES! Together with Siemens Energy, we have shown that WAAM can indeed be used in series production. Sebastian Recke and Rene Liers talk about the challenges and opportunities that WAAM offers. We'll let this short video speak for itself. #waam #additivemanufacturing #supplychain #innovation #worldrecord #technology

⚙️"Pioneering a novel approach for #hydrogen tank production: Cevotec's #FiberPatchPlacement technology for 15% lighter and 17% more efficient tanks!” Cevotec partnered with a tank manufacturer, Roth Composite Machinery GmbH and CIKONI composites innovation, Stuttgart, Germany  to explore and demonstrate the effect of #FPP technology on #composite tanks.  The solution reduces the amount of #carbonfiber needed for a #composite #hydrogen tank by locally reinforcing its dome areas, via a fully automated industrial process which can be combined with established wet or towpreg winding equipment. 🦾 💡Due to  material reduction of approx. 15%, the reinforced tanks also feature more storage volume in the same build space and an improved CO2 footprint. ♻️ Read the full article 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRXCZB8a #automation #carbonfiber #manufacturingtechnology #COPV

A recent paper from SINTEF provides a fascinating insight into the concept of zero-defect manufacturing, examining what strategies exist, the different approaches to achieving it, and some of the barriers that exist. In this summary of their paper, we get a glimpse of where we are now and where we are going. #Manufacturing #Innovation #Sustainability #ProjectsMagazine EFFRA https://lnkd.in/eDRccgaS

Avient Corporation is a well-known manufacturer of engineered materials, advanced composites, and color and additive systems. Together with Carbon Minds, they are conducting cradle-to-gate carbon footprint analyses of their products using our cm.chemicals data.   Previously, the lack of reliable carbon footprint data for key polymers and compounds in the supply chain was a major barrier to conducting impact assessments. We filled these gaps with third-party certified carbon footprint data, enabling Avient to confidently report on the environmental impact of its products.   This helps Avient to:   🌱Innovate strategically to develop products with a lower carbon footprint 🔍Identify emission hotspots and optimize production processes to address them 🤝Improve customer relationships by providing transparency along the value chain 🏆Gain a competitive advantage and enter new, sustainability-driven markets   As the use of product carbon footprints (PCFs) demonstrates, environmental impact assessments are increasingly becoming a business imperative – adding value and giving companies a “license to operate” in tomorrow’s economy.   🔗 Read more about how Avient implements our PCFs here: https://lnkd.in/gCVSVrCH   #Sustainability #CarbonFootprints #CarbonEmissions #Data

Read more about how Avient Corporation is implementing the cm.chemicals data to calculate #scope3 emissions in their Carbon Calculator. Avient's story is a bright example for the actionability of compliant and representative secondary data. Thank you very much to the colleagues and team at Avient for the great cooperation.
