There is no shortage of initiatives for decarbonising marine transport. While liquefied natural gas is looking to the future, the true solutions of tomorrow are e-fuels and perhaps… sails? The European FuelEU Maritime regulation stipulates an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from shipping fuel by 2050. Against this backdrop, e-fuels appear to be one […]
Use of industrial 5G, most commonly implemented in the form of private networks, will undoubtedly continue to expand thanks to its huge promise in terms of personal and data safety, maintenance of installations, and process performance. Thierry Delpech, Industry 5.0 expert at Actemium, gives us an overview of the situation. Driven by the digital revolution […]
High-performance thermal insulation can impair connectivity in new commercial buildings. The solution? DAS (Distributed Antenna System). Often, the devil is in the detail. New construction techniques and materials, especially in the sustainable construction sector, have allowed significant environmental progress by providing maximum thermal insulation. But these new environmentally friendly buildings have a limitation: they are […]
Net zero emissions by 2040: this ambitious project for the city of La Rochelle, on France’s Atlantic coast, is based on the Terreze data platform, a unique package with a technical core developed by Citeos. The “La Rochelle Territoire Zéro Carbone” (LRTZC) project is one of 24 prize-winning initiatives from the call for expressions of […]
Technological advances have transformed buildings into intelligent objects. Connected platforms and sensors are making it possible to optimise energy consumption. One VINCI Energies Belgium operations headquarters clearly illustrates these transformations. What do a network-connected solar panel array, heat pump, cooling unit, thermostat and water heater have in common? Their capacity to make a building “smart”. […]
Actemium Saint Etienne Process Solutions has created an automatic, scalable turnkey solution designed to improve industrial performance on powder production sites for the construction sector. In the face of a triple economic, energy and climate crisis, the industrial world, which is particularly energy intensive and emits large quantities of CO2, needs to review its business […]
The international company Enapter wants to scale up renewable production of hydrogen electrolysers, thus contributing to the expansion of green industry. It has appointed VINCI Energies to perform the engineering and installation of the electrical infrastructure required for the project. Green industry is not just a figment of the imagination. Some businesses are working to […]
VINCI Energies is involved in a project in Bredene, Belgium, to create a large aquatic centre due to open its doors in 2024 with 50% lower energy consumption than a traditional swimming pool. To ensure compliance with environmental regulations, the Belgian municipality of Bredene needs to close its current swimming pool by 2024. The seaside […]
Energy storage is a practical solution that helps manufacturers to manage their renewable energy generation, electricity consumption and quality of supply. With the growth in renewable energies and given their intermittent nature, the electricity storage market will become increasingly important over the next few years. The manufacturing sector should take note, even though most manufacturers […]
