The continuous growth of wind energy is highly dependent on energy infrastructure becoming more digitally connected. Yet the more connected energy infrastructure becomes, the more vulnerable. This is ...
Polyurethanes can be used in many applications, due to their excellent combination of properties. Protective PU top-coats should withstand weathering degradation and prolong projection of steel ...
What does it cost to avoid an environmental impact of products? The eco-cost method makes it possible to calculate this eco-impact. Although this solution may seem too simple and its use entails quite ...
The CE Connect learning network actually provided us with the golden key to get started on circular projects. We have written about all kinds of pitfalls before, now we are approaching the subject ...
Even before the recent energy crisis, the Belgian government had decided to shift up a gear in the production of renewable energy. Technological innovation will play a major role at the thematic event ...
We have found how executive management can speed up the transition to a circular economy. The good news is that it does not require heavy investment in time or resources. The clue is to postpone your ...
Fairwind, a Belgian company that designs and manufactures vertical axis wind turbines, has in its offering the 50 kW-Polar-Version-Wind Turbine, which is entirely in line with the Paris Agreement ...
Recent research and testing have shown that bio-based coating formulations can outperform traditional fossil-based polymer coatings. As such, the coating lifetime can be extended or the coating can eventually perform better under high-loading conditions. The availability of thermo-analytical testing facilities at Sirris’s testlabs assists in optimizing coating compositions and processing conditions.
A pilot project intends to test a floating wall of wind turbines off the Norwegian coast. The electricity which can be generated would satisfy the power consumption of some 80,000 households, while ...
Icing is a huge challenge for machines and other products in cold climates. Monitoring and testing the functionality and durability of parts is therefore essential to ensure product quality and safety ...
From October 2022, a next cycle of the Agoria & Sirris Circular Economy Connect learning network will start. The goal is to exchange knowledge, experiences and good practices related to circular ...
