At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Ben Freeman of the Environment Agency gave a 25-minute presentation detailing the updated protocols for mercury monitoring in waste incineration.   Mr. Freemen outlines: The monitoring techniques to be made mandatory in waste incineration by 2023   How to adhere to new protocols Methods for determining threshold-values The necessity and practicality of accounting for outliers

At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Dr. Johannes Pfingsten of VDZ gave a 10-minute presentation comparing methods for the monitoring of mercury emissions.   Dr. Pfingsten discusses: The advantages and disadvantages of the prevailing reference method, EN13211 Different methods for reducing the limit of quantification Prospects for the wider utilisation of sorbent-trap methods Controlling breakthrough at different concentrations

At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Shawn Wood of Ohio Lumex gave a 20-minute presentation comparing methods for the monitoring of mercury emissions.   Mr. Wood considers: The prospects of emerging sorbet-trap technologies A range of reliable means for cement and power plants to achieve compliance The state of plant regulation in the United States Notable emissions limits for power and cement plants

At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Professor Alistair Lewis of the University of York gave a 25-minute presentation on the relationship between strategies to address climate change and global air quality.  Professor Lewis addresses:  How decarbonisation might enhance air quality Whether adjusting timescales of net-zero targets could affect air quality The harmful side-effects of climate action on air quality How to reduce emissions from agriculture, domestic activit...

At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Professor Ronald Cohen of University of California, Berkley, gave a 25-minute presentation on a new methodology for mapping and modelling ambient air in urban environments, the BEACO2N. Professor Cohen discusses:  How the BEACO2N system works Recent data from BEACO2N The utility of BEACO2N for understanding the urban environment How BEACO2N might be used to design and assess reduction strategies

At our annual Air Quality and Emissions event, Dr. Justine Bejta, Head of Science at the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU), presented data on the outcomes of recent government interventions in areas with high levels of NO₂ pollution. In her 15-minute presentation, Dr. Bejta discusses: The origins and aims of the Joint Air Quality Unit Various strategies employed by the Joint Air Quality Unit How JAQU designs bespoke interventions Difficulties of implementation The intr...

At our recent Air Quality and Emissions event, Professor Paul Linden of the University of Cambridge discussed recent research into the relationship between the transmission of COVID-19 and indoor air quality. Professor Linden’s 15-minute talk addresses: Contemporary modelling of airborne transmission in epidemiology The ratio between number of occupants and infection Managing the likelihood of secondary infections The nature of seasonal variation in transmission How schools...

Stephen B. Harrison talks to Andres Saldivia business development manager at Hysytech to discuss hydrogen generation from natural gas or biomethane. Stephen's questions include: What purity in hydrogen are you able to achieve? Can this gas be used directly in fuel cells? Natural gas used, does this need to be high pressure or from the normal grid? Is the result a "green element"?  

Stephen Harrison talks to an independent consultant from XTH energy about the decarbonisation in the cement making process. They talk about CO2 capture, and how its impacting the cement industry. Projects around europe are discussed and more details are provided by Xavier d'Hubert on the current progress.

Stephen talks to Philip Bell the hydrogen champion for Aberdeen city. This 5 minute interview includes questions on; The conference centre in Aberdeen The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) uses fuel cells, for heat and power, how does this work? The fuel cells are supplied by biogas, methane, can you tell us more Philip? Can you tell us about the Clover Hill building project of 550 houses running on biogas? Who will look after all of these systems in Aberdeen? Will the MSc Course in...
