Without their involvement, we aren’t gathering valuable site data, which simply evaporates.
C. ontinued research into these technologies, alongside more evidence of cost benefits, may help in incentivising industries to adopt these technologies.. Energy Efficient Plastic Production: It’s a Team Effort.It is not only the reduction in GHG emissions that we need to focus on for CCU to impact the production process most efficiently.
The improvement in producing ‘green hydrogen’ through the electrolysis of water is helping increase the benefits of CCU by reducing the industry’s demand for electricity in producing some chemicals.Hydrogen is required to produce ammonia, for example, an important material in many plastic production processes.The benefit of water electrolysis is that it uses 7.5% less electricity than other methods.
‘Black hydrogen’ is hydrogen produced using natural gas (methane) that is reacted with steam in a steam reformer, and ‘blue hydrogen’ uses carbon capture during the same process to reuse some of the carbon.Even with carbon capture, blue hydrogen still uses fossil fuels, so in some instances carbon capture needs to be used effectively.
It isn’t a blanket fix for every process..
Even though CCU is currently at a low TRL, as funding comes in and progress is made, the development of this method, in conjunction with water electrolysis, would see greater reductions in industry electricity usage to perform these reactions and, therefore, greater reductions in GHG emissions..Each part of the platform system has been designed to value based on its performance requirements..
This standard kit of parts can be configured to offer a broad range of building products without limiting design ambition.Design effort can be spent where it adds the most value – creating places where people want to live and work.. 105 Sumner Street consists of two new-build commercial office buildings, built around a publicly accessible internal courtyard, in total comprising c. 135,000 sq ft.
It will be nine storeys high with reception and basement areas.The development will be a high quality and sustainable building with a vastly improved streetscape and public realm, continuing the transformation of Southwark..
