Energy recycling: how wind power helps to keep the traffic moving

Until recently, green revolution in energy was held up by lack of storage, which meant that efficient electricity production depended on an impossibility; namely uninterrupted wind and sunshine. Conversely, the excess energy produced during strong wind or sunshine could not be stored for later use. Now a revolution in energy storage is occurring, and it is possible not only to store green energy but to convert it to other uses, in other words to recycle it.

LNG: meeting future demand will be problematic

Global demand for natural gas will continue to grow. Between now and 2035, this demand is expected to increase with an average of 2 % per annum. Along with this rising demand, LNG production will increase too, mainly for markets in the Middle East and Asia. The question is: will it be sufficient?


Stainless steel is a versatile material that finds applications in various industries and everyday products due to its desirable properties. Here are some common applications for stainless steel:

Architecture and Construction: Stainless steel is used in building structures, bridges, facades, and roofing due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Equipment: Stainless steel is used in surgical instruments, medical devices, and equipment due to its excellent sterilization capabilities, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and staining.

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: Stainless steel is utilized in the construction of tanks, pipes, valves, and fittings for handling corrosive chemicals, acids, and gases. It ensures product purity, longevity, and prevents contamination.

Food and Beverage Industry: Stainless steel is widely employed in food processing equipment, brewing systems, storage tanks, and food preparation surfaces due to its corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, and hygienic properties.

Energy and Power Generation: Stainless steel is used in power plants, nuclear reactors, and renewable energy applications like solar panels and wind turbines. It provides strength, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and corrosion.

Aerospace and Aviation: Stainless steel is utilized in aircraft components, including structural parts, fasteners, and engine components. It offers lightweight strength, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Marine and Coastal Applications: Stainless steel is employed in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure due to its excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
