The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and CALSTART are pleased to announce the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) will begin accepting voucher applications on August 13 at 9 a.m. Pacific.CARB used public input to improve the CORE Implementation Manual (IM), which includes updates on new requirements, guideline modifications, voucher amounts, and detailed information on eligible equipment categories. These updates ensure stakeholders understand the requirements and procedures for participating in CORE. Join us as we review the new IM to prepare for the FY 23-24 funding segment.

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has now surpassed 420 parts per million, underscoring an alarming milestone in the human-induced warming of our planet. Last year, Earth’s average temperature was 1.48 degrees Celsius hotter than the pre-industrial average. To effectively address the climate crisis and avert catastrophic consequences, merely reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not enough. The imperative extends beyond achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century; we must strive for a transition to net-negative emissions. This needs the integration of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies as a fundamental aspect of our climate mitigation efforts.To address this issue, widespread implementation of CDR technologies is required. Among the foremost CDR methodologies is Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). This technique involves capturing carbon dioxide during the conversion of biomass into heat, electricity, or fuels, subsequently sequestering it in geological formations. Notably, BECCS stands out as the only CDR approach that also provides renewable energy.The World Bioenergy Association, in partnership with Bioenergy International, is pleased to invite you to the webinar "Role of Bioenergy in Atmospheric CO2 Removal". The session will provide valuable insights into BECCS-related projects from around the world. It will also cover the latest changes in policies, regulations, finance, and technology within the industry. The goal is to enhance our understanding of this topic through the contributions of leading industry representatives and experts. The urgency and importance of developing and deploying such technologies are increasing, making this webinar an excellent opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest developments.

A Guide to Getting Started with CobotsCollaborative robots, known as cobots, represent the most rapidly expanding sector within factory automation. The transformative technology they introduce to manufacturing necessitates a unique approach to application selection. Join us as Nathan Desrochers, Business Development Manager from Universal Robots, goes over the compiled checklists and guidelines to assist companies of all sizes in their next steps with cobot automation.During the session, participants will gain insights into:Effectively identifying cobot applicationsAssessing applications based on risk and complexityRationalizing the investment in cobots: Uncover the key factors and considerations involved in justifying the investment in cobotsPresenter:Nathan DesrochersBusiness Development ManagerUniversal RobotsNathan is a business development manager for Universal Robots covering the 6 New England states and has helped customers deploy hundreds of collaborative automation systems. He has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Massachusetts. Outside of work Nathan enjoys skiing, fishing, basketball, and video games.

The SAIEE KwaZulu-Natal Centre invites you to this webinar, in which Dr Rob Stephen will explain Cigre and the methods of uprating lines.With the advent of IBR (renewable) generation, exporting power over existing networks has become more challenging. This is compounded by the lack of ability to build new lines due to the difficulty of obtaining servitudes. This talk covers the means to uprate transmission lines for various applications and describes case studies using the techniques. Those attending the webinar will be able to appreciate the means available, the relative cost, and the most optimum situation for using the different methods. Register now; it is free to attend.

Join us for an insightful webinar where we dive deeper into how Ansys STK, ModelCenter, and the Systems Architect Model (SAM) revolutionize digital engineering and MBSE practices. Discover how these powerful tools can significantly reduce design time and optimize tradeoffs. This webinar will explore a compelling use case for satellite imaging, focusing on a notional Request for Proposal (RFP) scenario. We’ll discuss the intricacies of designing a system to image unknown satellites in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), where the Design Reference Mission (DRM) requires an initial satellite to detect the unknown satellites before relaying tasking to a secondary satellite to image the target. Using a digital thread connecting various engineering tools to SysML, we’ll demonstrate how to evaluate many design variables, including orbital altitude and sensor capability. We aim to achieve optimal design outcomes while balancing cost, imaging time, and image quality requirements.

In its Net Zero Emissions scenario, the International Energy Agency sees global hydrogen demand increasing six-fold by 2050. Since it’s only by-product when used to produce energy is water, hydrogen is considered an important tool to help decarbonize ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors. Countries across the world are deploying national hydrogen strategies and policies to support growth in hydrogen production and usage. As this energy transition gains momentum worldwide, the demand for green and blue hydrogen continues to increase at a rapid pace.  In this webinar, we will discuss the importance of filtration and separation solutions in optimizing green and blue hydrogen production. Our focus will be on how key players in the industry, such as EPC Contractors, OEMs, and end-users, can optimize hydrogen processing and amine-based carbon capture processes. By selecting the right filtration and separation technologies, project developers can reduce costs, protect critical equipment, and improve overall efficiency and reliability.  We will explore real-world case studies and share insights on incorporating absolute-rated particulate filters and high-efficiency liquid/gas coalescers in hydrogen projects. Additionally, we will discuss contamination monitoring techniques to assess filtration effectiveness.  Join us to gain valuable knowledge and insights on achieving optimal process efficiency and economic viability in green and blue hydrogen production.  Speakers:Maria Anez-Lingerfelt, Ph.D., Global Technical Lead – Hydrogen Technology Development, Pall CorporationFernando Garralon, Global Strategic Sales – Hydrogen, Pall Corporation

Densification of biomass fuels to produce secondary products such as briquettes and pellets can significantly improve the logistics of biomass fuels by improving energy density and reducing costs. However, the diverse nature of feedstock available in India poses challenges while the demand for densified biomass fuel is increasing in all end-use sectors including industries, power production, biofuels etc. In the second webinar of the Bioenergy India series, leading technology developers in pellets and briquettes will share their experience in developing projects in India.
