Don’t let COVID-19 wreck your climate change plans
By Onsite Energy Projects We all need to refocus on the big issue of climate change, but we are facing a significant recession in the next few years. I predict that capex budgets are going to evaporate, and as a result investment plans are going to be put on hold. The consequence could be to […]
Saving money on energy using Artificial Intelligence
Many use BMS (building management systems) to control your buildings. BMS is seen a “smart” in that it automates tasks that would need a human to do (such as changing set points, dead bands etc). Artificial Intelligence is best known for self-driving cars and playing chess against grand masters!! So does it have any role […]
Are you getting the most from your CHP?
By Onsite Energy Projects We visit a lot of customer sites and am often struck that the heat from CHP is not being used, or that they have operating problems with the CHP and their returns aren’t what they expected. I equally see CHP vendors and other proposals to customers that advocate a power only […]
The danger of green energy tariffs
Entry into renewable energy PPAs soared in 2019, with European corporates signing up for 8GW of power supply arrangements. Groups of major corporates such as RE100 (http://there100.org/) advocate for a collaborative, global initiative of influential businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity, to work to increase demand for – and delivery of – renewable energy. Additionally, […]
Is NET ZERO possible for heavy gas users?
Achieving NET ZERO emissions is a significant task, made all the more difficult if you use lots of gas for your process (for steam, drying, frying, furnaces etc). Gas is around 5-6x cheaper than grid electricity, so the cost of switching from gas is prohibitive. This is a challenge I see a lot in all […]
Do you have a Net Zero strategy?
The UK has become the first major economy to pass laws requiring all greenhouse gas emissions to be net zero by 2050. The electricity grid is decarbonising (its carbon intensity has dropped by over 50% since 2011 to where it is today – 254 g CO2 per kWh) and is forecast to drop another 50% by 2030. Grid […]
Saving money using Artificial Intelligence
By OnSite Energy Projects We are used to BMS (building management systems) to control buildings, and spreadsheets to analyse data. Both of these require human input (and are prone to human error). So does Artificial Intelligence have any role to play, and could it save money? Firstly, what is AI? “Artificial Intelligence” (“AI”) is software […]
