to advance construction procurement methods.
On top of this, other practical constraints include social acceptance of greener methods, including electricity capacity.governmental support and policy inclusion, and for uptake in relevant sectors and industries, such as industrial plastic production.
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.And making sure that the lighting controls are working properly can reduce the lighting load (which also creates heat) during bright days..
Desk fans help to reduce the perceived temperature by around 2. o.C, but the additional air movement increases the risk of particle movement.
So desk fans are not recommended, except in rooms with good airflow and high air changes.A simple, but effective, approach might well be just to have a relaxed dress code.
