The battery industry expects more than 30 percent annual growth in the next decade to reach $100 billion in revenue by 2026, driven primarily by electric vehicle development. Explore common battery cell manufacturing challenges and how virtual commissioning software like Siemens Tecnomatix Process Simulate drives smart manufacturing solutions to address these complexities.Explore critical hurdles in automotive battery production, and how Siemens Tecnomatix Process Simulate enables battery OEMs and line builders to improve safety, reduce costs and accelerate time to market. By simulating production processes in a virtual environment, manufacturers can identify and mitigate potential issues before they arise on the factory floor.Whether you are a battery OEM, line builder, or a manufacturing professional looking to stay ahead in the industry, this webinar will help inform battery makers how to embrace smart manufacturing, digital manufacturing software, and digital twin technology to help improve the end-to-end process.Don't miss this opportunity to see how virtual commissioning can transform your battery manufacturing processes and propel your manufacturing processes forward.Speakers: Mathias Kohl, Solution Domain Expert; Noam Arbesfeld, Application Engineer.

Join us for this webinar and hear from S&P Global Commodity Insights experts explore the current state and development of carbon markets—both voluntary and compliance—worldwide. We will cover aspects such as the infrastructure, monitoring and verification of emissions, market fundamentals, and price trends. We will draw on interesting case studies to highlight key developments ahead of COP 29.Agenda at a GlanceWelcome & introduction.Hear from our panel on what they currently see in Carbon markets.   The state of Carbon markets in 2024 – where are we now?Focus on the global landscape: country progress, regulatory developments, market infrastructure, measurement (monitoring and verification) of emissions, market fundamentals, and price trends. Also, the role of technology and how it is evolving.   Opportunities, challenges, and the road to COP29.Focus on what is needed to strengthen and evolve markets; provide examples of innovative aspects we are seeing around the world; discuss expectations for COP29 and the likelihood of progress on key aspects that will shape Carbon markets, notably Article 6.   Expectations for 2025.Where do we think Carbon markets will be a year from now? What do we want to see vs what is likely? Q&ASpeakers: Roman Kramarchuk, Head – Climate Markets and Policy Analytics, S&P Global Commodity Insights; Jonty Rushforth, Head of Environmental Solution, S&P Global Commodity Insights; Deb Ryan, Head of Emissions Insight, S&P Global Commodity Insights; Marie-Louise du Bois, Global Head of Carbon Pricing, S&P Global Commodity Insights.

Intense operations must rigorously prioritize safety – including in their materials handling functions. In fact, improper forklift operation is one of the most common sources of citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for many demanding, fast-paced industries like manufacturing, metals and paper.In this virtual event, an environmental health and safety (EHS) manager and a training expert from Hyster will discuss ways to assess and support materials handling best practices, including:Focus areas and safety culture indicators to evaluate within your facility or job siteHow to comply with OSHA requirements for lift truck operator trainingMethods to support better training engagement and knowledge retention

This webinar, organized by the FAO Plant Production and Protection Division (NSP), aims to explore innovative approaches to address the complexity and harness the potential of dryland agriculture to build local resilience and adaptive capacity, aligning with the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31, which emphasizes the transformation towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems.

In the past decade, companies have boldly committed to reducing carbon emissions in their agricultural supply chains, naming regenerative agriculture as a potential solution. In total, across the top 100 CPG companies, 40.5M acres and >$3.2B of investment are committed under a regenerative agriculture target. However many companies are still grappling with the question: How can we scale the adoption of regenerative practices, beyond these pilot programs?Watch this webinar to learn more about how CIBO has developed a systems approach to designing, deploying, and delivering Scope 3, Low carbon intensity, and public/private programs through our Grower Network Partners.We’ll cover:• What a Grower Network Partner is at CIBO• How CIBO’s Grower Network Partners offer a systems approach to overcome the transition gap to regenerative agriculture• Why companies should be looking at pairing public and private fundingPresented by Billy Cripe, VP of Marketing.

Struggling to balance cost, scalability, safety, and quality in your e-mobility or battery energy storage system (BESS) designs?  Need a scalable solution for electrical insulation or thermal runaway mitigation?Join industry experts from 3M and JBC Technologies for a webinar that will address these challenges and more, highlighting the importance of a collaborative approach between materials science and manufacturing. Attend this webinar and learn:How to electrically insulate your battery modules in battery storage unitsElectrical insulation solutions to help between cell, busbar, and cold plate applicationsThermal barrier solutions to help mitigate thermal runawayHow cutting-edge conversion technologies can be used to maximize the potential of performance materialsThe production efficiency-enhancing benefits that an engineering-driven flexible materials converter and die-cutter like JBC Technologies can offer.Speakers: Dominic Bowlin - Lead Engineer, JBC Technologies; James Ma, Ph.D - Senior Product Development Specialist, 3M Electrical Markets Division, 3M; Kurt Siebert - Global Products Manager Electrical Markets Division, 3M.

Join us on Wednesday, September 4th at 1:00 PM EST, for a training on best practices in planning and zoning for solar PV installations and development. A local government’s approach to zoning and development can have a significant impact on solar energy growth. The inclusion of solar energy planning and zoning best practices provides a foundation that can help facilitate the growth of solar energy, while balancing other development priorities in a community. This free training will provide communities with strategies for incorporating solar into plans, ordinances, and development regulations.Since 2016, SolSmart has helped over 500 local governments prepare for solar energy market growth. With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, we provide free technical assistance to help cities, counties, small towns, and regional organizations achieve clean energy goals. SolSmart has established solar best practices across local processes such as permitting, inspection, and planning, as well as government operations, community engagement, and market development. This webinar will give you an overview of the program basics and new updates to keep you on top of the solar energy transition.This webinar is eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits.
