Why the industry must improve its efficiency

Industrial production is one of the largest consumers of energy and a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. As energy prices rise and environmental regulations tighten, energy efficiency is becoming a top business priority.

Smart Grids and their Role in the Energy Transition

The energy transition is one of the most ambitious projects of our time - a global shift towards a sustainable and climate-friendly energy supply. But the challenges are immense: Renewable energies such as wind and solar do not provide a constant supply of electricity, and the infrastructure in many countries is not designed for the necessary flexibility. This is where smart grids come into play.

Blockchain in the energy industry: transparency and efficiency for all?

The energy sector is undergoing a transformation. Decentralized power generation, renewable energies and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) require new solutions for greater transparency, security and efficiency. This is where blockchain technology comes into play. But what is behind the hype and what are the challenges?

The true cost of our energy consumption

Our world faces a crucial question: How can we manage energy consumption in a way that preserves our planet while meeting the growing needs of our modern society?

How do we resolve the geopolitical conflict over energy?

The global race for energy is increasingly dominating the geopolitical agenda, while renewable technologies and critical minerals are replacing fossil fuels as the central source of conflict. Blockchain-based decentralized energy systems have the potential to reduce dependencies and increase resilience to geopolitical tensions.

Challenges and pioneers of the global energy transition

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the greatest global challenges. It is unlikely that we will meet the goals of the Paris Agreement unless we accelerate our efforts. But a number of pioneers are undeterred.

Making the digital age more energy efficient

Blockchain and other technologies are driving technological progress, but can generate immense energy costs. Innovative approaches such as energy-efficient devices and structures could significantly reduce the ecological footprint of these technologies.

The Evolution of Energy Production

Each shift in energy production has shaped civilizations, enabled technological breakthroughs, and created new challenges. Today, the world is on the threshold of a new era: clean, renewable energy sources and breakthrough technologies promise to end our dependence on fossil fuels. But how can we best meet this great challenge?

Concussions are a common health risk in American football

A hard-hitting truth: There is still a general lack of knowledge about the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury - especially in the professional league of American football. This is what makes CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) so dangerous.

Blueberries heal the brain

Daily consumption of blueberries can protect older people from cognitive decline and even cure it. A study by the University of North Carolina provided the proof.
