The deployment of new generation Wide Band-Gap (WBG) semiconductors that reduce electricity consumption and carbon dioxide emissions will increase globally with electrification of mobility, renewable energy and industry. The WIBASE project coordinated by VTT has been launched in Finland to develop WBG technologies for power electronics applications. Participants in the project include leading semiconductor and power electronics companies and research organisations.

Processing up to 700 Nm3/h landfill gas into biomethane

Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe (BSR) is relying on technology from the Rhineland and is delighted to be taking a decisive step towards environmental protection and climate neutrality with the biomethane plant from ETW Energietechnik GmbH in Moers. The full-service provider of biomethane plants and combined heat and power (CHP) plants has been awarded the contract for a plant that will process up to 700 Nm³/h of landfill gas into

Despite the current crisis in the chemical industry, the demand for hazardous waste disposal remains high. The volume of hazardous waste has increased by more than 30% over the past 10 years. Projects with a total capacity of around 400,000 tonnes per year are currently under construction or in planning. This is the result of a recent market study by ecoprog.

According to EU waste statistics, over the past 10 years, the volume of hazardous waste has risen by more than 30% to nearly 120 million
