Think construction of a wind farm ….and how that energy product requires trucks, cars, transport and clearly gas in tanks to build it. Think aviation […]
Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to lead the wind turbine market with an annual installation capacity of 33.14 gigawatt (GW) by 2023, largely driven by onshore deployment; followed by EMEA and Americas with capacities of 19.9GW and 11.7GW, respectively, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. The company’s latest report ‘Wind Turbine, Update 2019 […]
Aberdeen-headquartered logistics and materials management company, ASCO, has recently completed a collaboration with multinational energy company, Equinor, providing a unique digital solution to the energy industry transforming materials management practice. The co-developed digital solution, ‘iLMS Track and Trace’, will facilitate a move away from the traditional energy supply chain model adopting a modern retail model […]
Memorial University is establishing a new Harsh Environment Research Facility (HERF) to strengthen the region’s infrastructure and expertise in technologies operating in harsh environments, such as the ocean, energy, shipping, and aerospace sectors. The HERF will be a new world-class R&D facility for large-scale testing, research and development that is vital to the Canadian economy […]
