8 d. ago Electric and biomass power could bring paper mills to net zero emissions, study suggests

A study finds that replacing natural gas with electric and biomass power, along with improved energy efficiency, could help some pulp and paper mills reach zero net emissions. The paper, "Advancing sustainability in the U.S. pulp and paper industry: Decarbonization through energy efficiency, electrification, low-carbon fuels, and the social cost of emissions," is published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.

8 d. ago Two AI methods can improve wind speed predictions for wind farms

Last year, wind energy accounted for 23.2% of all energy injected into the Spanish electricity system, according to data published by Red Eléctrica in its latest 2024 report. Although wind power leads national energy production, its dependence on weather conditions and its inherently intermittent nature present challenges. Therefore, fine-tuning wind speed prediction data for these infrastructures is a key task to optimize the management and performance of wind turbines.
