Irrespective of how they have weathered the year, right now we have an opportunity to move forward as part of the post-pandemic green recovery. Particularly as this year of uncertainty has shed a bright light on the other urgent challenge facing the world: climate change.
And so, we have reached a tipping point, with consensus solidifying around the need for significant concerted action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This applies equally to the industrial sector – even energy-intensive processors and manufacturers.
This article was originally published in The Guide
Action from this sector is crucial, given that industry accounts for a third of total energy consumption. Not only that, while other sectors, such as power generation, agriculture and households have begun reducing their emissions of greenhouse gases, industry has hardly budged, even in a country like Germany.
Three levers for emission reduction
To address this, I see three levers to help industry pursue emission reduction and decarbonisation. The first is bringing greater flexibility in how energy is used, for example by adopting storage solutions and enabling virtual power plants.
Secondly, we need to digitalise operations to ensure energy is used efficiently. This can be achieved by implementing IoT devices, sensors, and software.
And last – but certainly not least – by enabling smart electrification across operations.
Of the three, smart electrification offers the greatest opportunities for decarbonisation, but can significantly benefit from the other two.
Within electrification itself, there are two aspects to consider: energy supply to the industrial site, for example, opportunities for zero-carbon renewable wind, solar, and hydro; and energy management onsite, such as software-guided demand management.
The reason why electrification can have such a big impact on decarbonisation is that clean renewable power can replace processes previously driven by high-emitting technologies, such as diesel generators.
As a result, a process that previously produced high emissions now can produce zero, if supplied by renewable energy.
With regards to onsite energy management, opportunities abound because electrification opens the door to digitalisation and smart electrification. These, in turn, deliver opportunities not only in energy efficiency, but also in operational resilience and asset optimisation.
Sensors, data, and IoT
Making electrification ‘smart’ means adding sensors and Internet-of-Things platforms that can collect huge amounts of data. This data is then aggregated and analysed by algorithms and software to help plant operators identify efficiency opportunities within the plant’s energy system and broader operations.
Outcomes include optimised production, reduced electricity consumption, and proactive identification of situations that could compromise system efficiency, such as equipment failure.
Going a step further, digitalisation can enable development of a digital twin for the plant’s power systems. When combined with industrial automation, planners can test a range of operating scenarios to find the optimal coordination of systems and services for lower error rates and reduced planning, construction, and maintenance costs.
Two real-world examples can help illustrate the magnitude of opportunity available to industrial companies.
The 200-year-old Finnish brewer Sinebrychoff is building a grid-connected battery energy storage system. With advanced software guiding energy system operations, the plant will operate as a virtual power plant, not only optimising electricity use at the brewery, but also engaging in energy trading with the grid operator.
As a result, the plant will achieve improved energy efficiencies, as well as a new revenue stream by getting paid by the grid operator to reduce demand on the grid at certain periods â a process enabled by the advanced virtual power plant software and onsite battery storage.
Another example is Gestamp, a metal automotive components manufacturer in Spain. It has numerous energy-intensive processes, but lacked visibility into its energy consumption, even as it faced rising electricity prices.
By installing energy meters and communication solutions linked to big data analytics across 15 factories in six countries, Gestamp was able to identify and implement operational improvements that cut electricity consumption by 15 percent and lowered CO2 emissions by 14,000 tonnes annually.
Central to the decarbonisation of the industrial sector is efficient energy management, and the most effective way to make that happen is smart electrification. For plant managers, the benefits include greater production flexibility, lifecycle optimisation and enhanced performance. It also opens the door to the decarbonisation of the sector through green electricity and significant opportunities in energy efficiency.
By implementing smart electrification in industrial plants, companies can shrink their environmental footprints, and support national and regional sustainability commitments such as the Green Deal in Europe.
The pandemic has forced us to pause and reconsider much about how we operate.
For industrial firms, now is the time to build for the future by incorporating smart electrification into their post-pandemic recovery and growth plans. The results will not only benefit the bottom line, but also the future for their customers, community, and our planet.
He took part in Enlit Europe’s virtual debate: “What if the global pandemic accelerated the green transition?”

A new scheme is being launched aimed at providing ‘genuinely affordable’ housing for people in Pulborough.
A new Community Land Trust has been formed to build flats and houses for residents in the village. The properties will then be held in perpetuity to provide more affordable homes for future generations.
The new trust says it plans to work closely with Pulborough Parish Council to identify suitable building sites. The trust has also applied for the first stage of Government funding to start work.
A trust spokesman said: “There has been wide support for the formation of Pulborough Community Land Trust, not only from the parish council and local residents, but also from district and county councillors, as well as from Horsham District Council since this will be the first Community Land Trust to be active in Horsham district.”
Trust secretary Stephen Pegler added: “Our first aim will be to attract local members, who are interested in affordable housing or who have skills or interests to offer as a volunteer.
“We will have an information stand at the Pulborough Village Fair on September 22 to answer questions and sign up new members - so invite everyone who is interested to come along and talk to us.
“All details are also on our website PulboroughCLT.org or find us on Twitter @PulboroughCLT or Facebook PulboroughCLT.”


A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the latest new car declaration catalog, in which we found the declaration information of Dongfeng Honda’s new-generation CR-V PHEV. The design of the new car is basically the same as the fuel version, and it is expected to be launched at the end of September. The size of the new car has been greatly improved on the basis of the current model, and it is also more dominant than the competing Toyota RAV4.
The new CR-V plug-in hybrid version is replaced with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0L engine and an electric motor, which further improves the fuel economy. The comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 1.61L. With reference to the No. 92 oil price in Beijing, the cost per kilometer is only 1.61L. It takes about 1 cent.
The new car adopts a new design style, equipped with an inverted trapezoidal front grille, and the interior is supplemented with black mesh elements, with narrow and long headlights on both sides. The overall look is much sharper than the current model.
As a plug-in hybrid model, the new car continues the consistent style of Honda, with a blue border on the outside of the LOGO, indicating the identity of the model. The taillight group adopts an “L-shaped” blackened design, and the internal light source is composed of three “L-shaped” LED light strips. While retaining the classic design of CR-V, technological innovation has been carried out.
According to previous exposure information, the interior of the new CR-V has also undergone major changes. The interior layout is the same as that of the new Civic. The floating LCD central control screen is replaced, and the horizontal through-type honeycomb air-conditioning air outlet is used. Feeling a little more.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0L engine with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts, matched with a CVT gearbox, and the battery comes from a ternary lithium battery from the Ningde era. Drive motor rated power: 67.5kW, peak power: 135kW.

Chinese export PET prices fail to remain above $900/ton
Chinese sellers were hoping to improve their export businesses following the yuan devaluation. This week, however, some traders reported that they had to concede to discounts again as Southeast Asian buyers were reluctant to purchase due to their depreciating local currencies against the US dollar.
A trader operating in Shanghai commented, “The upstream trend remains bearish while demand is not showing any signs of real improvement as the autumn season is approaching. The devaluation of the yuan has not had a positive impact on the export PET market yet as Southeast Asian buyers are struggling with depreciating local currencies across the region.”
A source from a local Chinese producer reported that their export PET offers currently stand at $900-910/ton FOB, cash. “We may consider giving discounts after negotiations. Export demand is slow in the face of local currency issues in the nearby Southeast Asian markets. Competitively-priced Indian export cargoes are also hindering our export sales. Meanwhile, demand from our local market is good nowadays. Hence, we are operating our plant at full rates,” the source stated.
In China, export PET prices are currently reported at $880-930/ton on an FOB, cash equivalent basis.

Last Saturday, 27 September, the much-touted Occupy Central was officially launched. Tens of thousands of Hong Kong students and residents enraged and frustrated by the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in Beijing with regard to the Chief Executive election in 2017 took to the streets in Admiralty, close to the new government headquarters overseeing Victoria Harbour. They soon poured into Central and Causeway Bay, blocking the traffic arteries on the northern shore of Hong Kong Island.
On Sunday afternoon, a handful of protesters stormed the police's defence line in Admiralty by trying to remove the iron railings. In response, the police fired 87 teargas shots in an attempt to disperse the protesters, from Central to Causeway Bay, where most protesters did virtually nothing other than sitting, standing, chatting or chanting slogans every now and then.
Undoubtedly, it was a disastrous and foolish decision. For one thing, the protest has been largely peaceful and in great order, much better than what we have on the busy, narrow streets of shopping districts flooded with tourists, local people and promotion booths on weekends. For another, whether to deal with that handful of protesters trying to provoke the police, for whatever reason, justifies the use of teargas, and in that quantity, is highly questionable. A comparison that has been circulating on Facebook said that only seven teargas shots were fired when the police were dispersing the aggressive Korean farmers protesting against globalisation during the Sixth WTO Ministerial Conference held in Hong Kong in 2005. If the data were accurate, it provides strong evidence against the use of 87 teargas shots last Sunday, of which the police owe the Hong Kong people an explanation, and even an apology, for misjudgment.
In no time the consequences of the police's blunder took effect. Protesters began to assemble at the crossroads of Nathan Road and Argyle Street in Mong Kok on Sunday evening. In about 24 hours, the crowd expanded to the north and south, occupying sections of Nathan Road from Waterloo Road to Mong Kok Road. Last night the part of Nathan Road between Waterloo Road and Public Square Street in Yau Ma Tei was also reportedly blocked. Hours before the 65th birthday of the People's Republic of China, hundreds of protesters also occupied the part of Canton Road running from Kowloon Park Drive to Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is well-known for the luxury brands scattered along.
Personally I do not agree with the strategy of taking to the streets, because I find it hard to accept law violation as a means for a great cause. At the end of the day, it undermines the rule of law, which is a cornerstone of our very existence. How far can the cause justify the means is highly debatable. It also gives the authorities a pretext for suppression. So far we are lucky that the government has exercised great restraint except the teargas saga on Sunday, but they still have every legitimate reason to crack down on the law-breakers. I was most worried at the dawn of the National Day, because I thought the authorities would hardly tolerate such a big embarrassment as its "birthday gift". But eventually nothing happened. I am so happy and relieved that I was wrong.
Disagreeing with the occupation strategy doesn't mean that I antagonise the protesters, however. Actually I am greatly sympathetic to them, not just because I share their frustration and the loss of hope, but also appreciate their courage to do whatever they can in such a civilised, peaceful and restrained manner to express their opposition, even though we all know very well that it is going to take to nowhere. At least we prove ourselves as highly dignified, mature and well-behaved citizens who deserve respect from all, and set a great example of peaceful protest for the people in China and other parts of the world fighting for democracy and justice.
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, we have missed all the chances to negotiate and work out a better solution. Beijing has made it clear that the decision is final. The Hong Kong administration has no power to reverse the situation. Beneath all these, the lack of trust between Beijing and Hong Kong has been allowed to poison bilateral relations for too long. Little, if any, has been done to address this underlying problem. Indeed, most Hong Kong people are genuinely anti-communist, otherwise our parents wouldn't have come to start their life anew in the British colony. And we wouldn't have been born here. Thanks to all those idiots in the pro-establishment and pro-democracy camps who have done nothing constructive but repeat their poorly composed rhetoric, the mistrust only widens over time. Media attention always focuses on those who make bold, radical and irresponsible remarks. People who don't take their sides are never heard, let alone represented. Legislators have been engaged in dogfights, forgetting their accountability for the electorate. Moreover, asking the communist regime for genuine democracy is also, we should know too well, a mission impossible; just like the old Chinese proverb of "finding fish on a tree". But we are in no position to overthrow the regime. Even thinking about it may be condemned as dangerous.
What is most confusing and intriguing for me is that when so many protesters have no trust in the Chinese communist regime, even go that far to condemn it and ask people not to take its words seriously on the one hand, and insist that they have no intention whatsoever to overthrow it on the other. But isn't it clear that Beijing's mandate is crucial to foster and legitimise any political or constitutional change in Hong Kong? If we don't recognise the authority of the party that holds the power of saying "yes"or "no" to our reform and don't believe in what they say, what is the point of yelling at it? Why should it bother with the people who don't give it a damn?
Judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that either the protesters and the authorities would back off. As a result, I see no hope that the current gridlock would be resolved. The best outcome would be the protest to come to an end without any violence, the Legislative Council rejects Beijing’s decision, and the Chief Executive election mechanism remaining as it is in 2017. All I can do now is to pray for God's mercy on Hong Kong, and to grant us courage and wisdom for reconciliation. I truly hope that it is not wishful thinking or too much to ask for.

Toronto is a homely city, whether by accident or design. Historic buildings are demolished. Cheap glass accretes, storey by storey, without detail, grace or interest. The cycle continues as ever, the infelicities of the 1960s replaced by the godawfuls of the 2010s, plus murals.
The Twitter pile-on over Margaret Atwood defending her neighbours as they object to an oversized glass condo creature has missed that crucial point. The huge thing goes almost right up to the lot line like a blob on the move.
This is what puzzles me about Toronto’s smug urban campaigners. Esthetics go unmentioned.
The eight-storey condo building planned for 321 Davenport Rd. looks like Ikea’s Godmorgon — they’re acrylic make-up drawer organizers — if you couldn’t figure out the assembly instructions. It will easily be as plug-ugly as the box it replaces, but much bigger.
Improving city life isn’t simple. It’s complex, it’s negotiated. Yes, Davenport is an arterial road and mid-rise buildings will improve it, as they do in the deteriorating Beaches and as high-rise condos will on the ratty east Danforth. More people will come to the city instead of creating destructive suburban sprawl.
That said, the Davenport condo is creepily close to its neighbours — mainly fairly understated brick homes — just behind it on Admiral Rd. and Bernard Ave. It will kill all privacy and will damage or kill trees.
Atwood isn’t directly affected but she’s fed up, and as always, she dares to speak up. Admiral is not a glossy street. It has multiple-dwellings, some rooming houses, and a Salvation Army retreat for addiction treatment for women, Atwood told me, adding, “As for this particular condo in its present design being a fosterer of Affordable Housing or in The Public Interest, give me a break!”
In Toronto city planning, trees are normally treated like the fingers of god himself. Even if your tree is unsightly, good luck trying to cut it down and replant.
But in this case, to hell with trees. They’re owned by people whose responses in June on the city’s zoning amendment form have been ridiculed. Why? Because their owners have money, whether inherited or earned.
The rule in Toronto is that everyone who doesn’t own a detached house hates everyone who does.
Toronto consists of urban tribes: Lycra cyclists; cat people; dog people; foodies; vegans; sports parents; obsessive runners; manspreaders; Proud Boys; angry millennials; cranky retirees; cheese bores; urban planning enthusiasts, etc. The Guardian tracked London ones for years; they haven’t run out yet.
Urban tribes are cultish. We must face the enemy: everyone else. Bike lanes good, children bad. But sometimes everyone is a little bit right, which is confusing. No one has a measured view.
Atwood and her neighbours — a Weston here, an Eaton there — have made the urban planning cyclist geeks as choked with anger as any road-raging driver.
Architectural beauty is worth introducing to Toronto. Glass is cheap. But the glazed glass used by Alterra — a company that mainly builds towers in Toronto and various buildings in southern Ontario — is actually better than the green glass it has used elsewhere. The condos, which will individually cost millions, are not bad if this is the sort of not-bad thing you like.
But the neighbours don’t want their back gardens looking like a prison exercise yard. And why does Alterra pack the building with balconies and terraces? No one uses balconies, not by the lake or in airless Gardiner condos or on University Ave.
Right now, Davenport’s west side looks like a row of bad teeth. It has to be built up for the sake of the city’s health and attractiveness. A six-storey Alterra condo would work better, and the build should not crowd the lot.
But here’s the nail that the Gen Y urban planners, cycling madly and knocking pedestrians down, always catch their socks on: class resentment.
After enduring tribal Twitter attacks of dubious taste — for her age, for being successful — Atwood revealed that she had already been planning to move into a condo, or downsize. As the New Yorker has reported, her husband, Graeme Gibson, has early dementia. Atwood and Gibson have lived on Admiral for more than 30 years. They are rooted. It’s too late to move.
The tribalists were cruel. One editorial mocked Atwood’s husband and advised her that if she didn’t like it here, she could always “sell her valuable Annex home and move to the country.” Ah, go back to the woods from whence ye came.
Imagine saying this to Canada’s most famous writer, a possible Nobel winner, a feminist heroine, a sustainer of the city. Imagine mocking Atwood for her age. Her novels are about Toronto. Few other good novelists bother with it.
But that’s what Toronto does to its tall poppies. You think you’re so fancy? Get out.
The fact that Atwood didn’t inherit Weston or Eaton wealth, that she earned every dollar, wins her no points in this city. “Hmm, maybe it’s time for me to move out of Toronto,” Atwood tweeted. “I didn’t like it much when I moved in. #CatsEye”
Her novel Cat’s Eye was about bullying, Atwood is being bullied by Toronto’s hypersensitive urban tribes, for being famous.
Alterra claims they’re the greatest, just the best guys. “Success comes from understanding that the complex relationship between people and place should be the guiding force behind every decision,” their website states.
I suggest Alterra have a friendly chat with the neighbours. They are people. They have a relationship with their place, and with yours. Guide your force.

Dr Elaine Callinan of Carlow College, St Patrick’s, has just published her new book ‘Electioneering and Propaganda in Ireland, 1917–21’. Elaine is also an active member of CHAS and a regular contributor to Carloviana.
Elaine’s book provides an illuminating and unique analysis of the political rivalry between all the major parties during Ireland’s revolutionary years. Politicians, propagandists and their voluntary supporters instigated forceful election campaigns to promote ideologies and influence the minds of ordinary people. The goal was a victory at the ballot box during the by-elections, general elections and local government elections of this era.
Elaine places her study within the wider contexts of the modernisation of propaganda during the Great War and the expansion of consumerism to conduct an examination of election activity – from candidate selection and fundraising to door-to-door canvassing, and everything in between. Running alongside war and revolution were the political struggles, and they equalled any of the military upheavals that transformed politics in Ireland.
‘Electioneering and Propaganda in Ireland, 1917–21’ is available at €45 in local outlets and at www.fourcourtspress.ie.
