Thermal monitoring for battery energy

storage systems: From research &

production to storage & inspections

Working with battery energy storage systems (BESS) can pose many

dangers, but thermal imaging can help prevent battery failures,

accelerate new battery development, and enable safer inspections.

attery Energy Storage

Systems (BESS) are a key to

Bthe success of power utilities

that rely on renewable energy.

Whether the BESS is in place to

ensure power grid stability or is

deployed on a smaller scale to

help businesses store solar power

from their own panels, maintaining

their viability requires regular

inspections and repairs.

Maintaining safe conditions in and around BESS sites is

important yet challenging due to potential temperature

fluctuations reaching critical levels and the health risks

associated with physically contacting materials within

the battery cells. Similar risks are present throughout

the manufacturing process, transportation, and initial

development stages.

Manufacturers can manage

thermal runaway with the help of

automated thermal monitoring.

Fixed-mount thermal cameras can

be stationed at storage facilities or

along production lines to monitor

batteries for rising temperatures.

Many of these kinds of thermal

sensors are loaded with on-theedge

analysis software, so they can

sense temperature changes and

send alarm information directly into an industrial PLC for

data logging and even automatically trigger suppression

systems, should temperatures rise beyond a user-defined

threshold.

spots at connection points within the battery pack and

overheating in cells or modules, significantly reducing the

risk of fires.

Destructive testing for research and development

The temperature of a failing battery can instantly rise

from a normal condition to an explosive combustion. Highspeed

thermal imaging is on the best ways for capturing

data the moment it happens.

The Battery Innovation Centre (BIC) in Newberry, Indiana

frequently relies on FLIR high-speed thermal imaging

cameras during nail penetration tests, which simulates a

short circuit condition to induce combustion. Before adding

high-speed thermal to their testing, BIC researchers

attached dozens of thermocouples at a time to measure

a battery’s temperature during testing. This provided only

limited data and consumed significant time when setting

up each test.

The solution is to perform inspections using an infrared

camera. Infrared cameras offer a non-contact, reliable

solution for monitoring thermal patterns and identifying

issues at every stage of a battery system’s lifecycle.

Whether used for handheld inspections and spot checks or

integrated into a battery production line, thermal cameras

provide a safe and effective way to detect small heatrelated

faults before they escalate into major problems.

So, what are some of the risks for working with BESS?

Let’s review some key battery inspection applications and

examine how thermal imaging contributes to early fault

identification, fire prevention, data-driven insights, and

improved safety measures.

Thermal runaway

Industries working with battery systems must take

precaution to prevent thermal runaway, a dangerous chain

reaction in which rising temperatures spread from one

battery cell to another, potentially leading to fires and the

release of harmful gases.

During battery production, the process can begin when

electrical connections are made and current begins

flowing between components, causing a continuous rise

in temperature. As the battery heats up, the system

voltage decreases resulting in increased current, further

accelerating the temperature rise. If left undetected,

thermal runaway can result in damaged batteries, product

failures, and even facility fires.

hot spots with a FLIR A70 Smart Sensor Fixed-

Mount Thermal Camera

Poor welding

Large BESS battery packs are typically assembled from

individual cells, which are welded together to form larger

modules, and then placed inside larger battery packs.

Defective welds can result in resistance issues, diminished

output, and shorter lifespans.

Thermal imaging offers a reliable method for identifying

poor welds, as areas with higher resistance exhibit

noticeable temperature variations under electrical load,

signalling potential defects.

Cell leakage

Cell leakage can happen at any

point in the manufacturing process.

Corrosive materials from the battery

are almost invisible to the human

eye and can both damage the skin

and ruin the product.

When the seal of a battery cell is

compromised, the liquid electrolyte

can leak into the outer layers,

creating a detectable temperature

variation. Thermal imaging cameras

can swiftly identify these minute leaks within seconds,

without requiring direct contact with the cells.

Testing phase

Integrating thermal cameras into

end-of-line testing and load cycling

offers a reliable method for verifying

production quality before product

shipment.

By detecting temperature anomalies,

these cameras help identify hot

Cell rupture caught using a

thermal imaging camera

Thermal imaging allows BIC to monitor and record rapid

temperature changes across the entire battery surface

then analyze the entire event frame-by-frame for a deeper

understand of a cells behavior when damaged. “When we

do a test, we want to collect as much data as possible,”

explains Ashley Gordon, Director of Programs at BIC. “We

want to have confidence that our data is accurate.”

Not only were researchers able to monitor the entire

battery surface, but they could also more accurately

evaluate the materials being expelled during tests.

Understanding how a battery short-circuits and how

the material will ignite enables researchers to better

understand the potential danger and how to best mitigate

damage should it reach failure.

Inspecting and maintaining BESS

Battery Energy Storage Systems are susceptible to

thermal runaway, which can not

only lead to fires that are difficult

to extinguish but can also release

hazardous gases that pose health

risks to nearby communities and

can potentially cause environmental

damage through soil and water

contamination. In the worst-case

scenarios, BESS fires can lead to

property damage and evacuations.

Automated thermal imaging

cameras are the go-to solution for

preventing disaster at BESS sites.

While traditional flame detectors can

be used as a preventative measure, they fail in the early

stages of a fire detection due to their reliance on visible

flames or smoke which may not be immediately present.

Thermal imaging is significantly

more reliable as it can trigger alarms

and suppression systems from small

rises in temperature before anything

reaches combustion.

Nutrient Management Company of the Month

Nutrient management simplified

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are pleased

to feature Navigate Eco Solutions Ltd as our

Nutrient Management Company of the Month

Established in 2021, Navigate Eco

Solutions Ltd (NESL) is a joint venture

business between Compass Agronomy

Ltd and Orbital Software Solutions Ltd, with

Alli Arden providing farm advice and Ian

Cocks leading software development.

Based in the Northwest of the UK, near

Chester, NESL has produced NavigatePro, a simple

digital solution for livestock and arable producers

who wish to improve the efficiency of their

production, optimise key inputs, and move towards

more sustainable management practices.

Used by businesses and independent advisors

across England and Wales, NavigatePro has a

unique integrated approach, combining nutrient

planning requirements with delivery of vital

insights into maximising enterprise productivity.

Aimed at growers and advisors alike, NavigatePro

simplifies the complex management of cropland

and natural resources by streamlining inorganic

and organic inputs, helping match fertiliser

products to crop needs.

The software also produces all the compliance

reports that farmers require by law and are

inspected against, on an annual basis.

Whilst enabling all farm business types to save

money and also protect the wider environment,

NavigatePro has a particular applicability to the

livestock sector. Alli and her team believe this

sector is under-serviced with digital solutions and

is in need of greater support in terms of better

management of nutrients from both organic and

inorganic sources.

“The livestock sector is also generally carbon

intensive, so by pushing farmers to making simple

changes such as switching to a different fertiliser

product, we can make a difference to their farm’s

carbon budgets,” added Alli.

NESL has recently developed new functionality to

help farmers select and apply fertiliser products

that are best suited to their specific farming

systems. Working with associated environmental

metrics, including GHG intensity, ammonia-N

mitigation, NavigatePro also helps minimise

excess nutrients in the natural environment due to

product choice.

Building on the success of NavigatePro – which

has already begun to break the cycle of traditional,

habit-driven management decisions—NESL has

introduced the Fertiliser Optimiser Tool. This new

feature enhances NavigatePro by streamlining

nutrient management planning, ensuring farmers

choose the most appropriate fertiliser products.

It also enables reporting on greenhouse gas

emissions, supporting more sustainable and

informed decision-making on the farm.

“The tool automates nutrient management by

matching fertiliser products to the crop’s actual

nutrient demand. This avoids applying products

with unsuitable nutrient ratios and over- or undersupply

of essential nutrients. It also ranks the bestmatched

products based on their greenhouse gas

(GHG) intensities and the risk of excess Phosphate

and Ammonia-N emissions, both in terms of

embedded and field emissions. This allows farmers

to choose products that minimise nutrient loading

risks and carbon intensity.

“No other ag software offers this level of

automated nutrient planning. We’ve collaborated

with RSK ADAS, a respected research organisation,

to ensure the Fertiliser Optimiser Tool maintains

technical and agronomic integrity.”

Furthermore, the Fertiliser Optimiser Tool is

advantageous in helping better manage all

nutrients on farm and ensuring farmers keep their

compliance obligations updated each year for NVZ

and farming rules for water.

NESL’s extensive database covers a wide range of

fertiliser products available in the UK market, and

its continually expanding. “Most fertiliser suppliers

support our independent approach and are keen

to have their products included—many are already

carbon footprinting their operations and products,”

stated Alli.

What’s more, based on advice from the AHDB

RB209 nutrient management guide, there is scope

for farmers to complete nutrient planning for

themselves. If you are a farmer and need guidance

on nutrient management, NavigatePro can connect

you with a team of advisors who can provide

independent advice and create nutrient plans and

compliance reports on your behalf.

As a startup company that has only been in

the market a few years, NESL aims to be part

of the transition towards lower carbon food

production that the Arable and Livestock industries

are adopting. With its unique, purpose-built

revolutionary products and systems. NavigatePro

and the Fertiliser Optimiser Tool have both made

incredible changes to the running of farms, helping

advisors and farmers to automate processes and

remove any sustainable ramifications.

NavigatePro has also been invaluable in helping

farmers access Sustainable Farming Incentive

funding (SFI) which subsidies nutrient management

advice. We asked Alli what else is expected from

NESL in in terms of additional products & services.

“We have a comprehensive development plan in

place that focuses on enhancing the current user

experience and adding new usability features

based on user feedback. As part of this roadmap,

we also aim to integrate with other small agri-tech

software providers who currently lack nutrient

management functionality – creating a more

connected and efficient ecosystem. The Fertiliser

Optimiser Tool, will also be further developed to

include more crops, such as potatoes, sugarbeet,

soft and top fruits and field vegetables.”

Spotlight on sustainability:

Optical Gas Imaging Ltd leads the

charge in emission reduction

Leading the charge in emissions control:

OGI at The World Biogas Expo 2025

In a world that’s accelerating toward carbon

neutrality, Optical Gas Imaging Ltd (OGI) is not

just keeping up – it’s leading the way. As the

global focus sharpens on sustainable practices

and environmental responsibility, OGI continues

to stand out with its commitment to delivering

innovative, effective, and non-disruptive gas

leak detection solutions. This year, the company

is proud to be featured at the World Biogas

Expo on 9th and 10th of July 2025, at the NEC in

Birmingham – an event that gathers the brightest

minds and most impactful technologies in the

field of sustainability.

At the core of OGI’s mission is a straightforward

but powerful objective: help industries reduce

their environmental impact without compromising

productivity. Using state-of-the-art, non-invasive

gas imaging technology, OGI offers real-time leak

detection that identifies and addresses harmful

emissions before they escalate. Whether it’s a

large-scale energy producer or a smaller-scale

manufacturing facility, OGI’s equipment is designed

to integrate smoothly into any operational

workflow – meaning zero shutdowns, minimal

product loss, and significant improvements in both

safety and efficiency.

Achieving net zero is critical. Central to this mission

is the role of anaerobic digestion, which has

been widely recognised as a vital component in

managing food waste and reducing greenhouse

gas emissions. As we explore innovative solutions

for waste disposal, the demand for anaerobic

digestion is poised to grow significantly.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the

effectiveness of anaerobic digestion can be

severely compromised if the facilities are leaking.

Such leaks not only squander valuable resources

but also undermine the fundamental purpose of

implementing this technology. To make meaningful

strides toward our net zero goals, we must

ensure that our anaerobic digestion sites operate

efficiently and without leaks. Only then can we fully

leverage the potential of this process in our pursuit

of a sustainable future.

The same principle applies to

other areas – for example, carbon

capture and storage. Despite

the substantial investments –

amounting to millions of pounds

– being directed toward its

development, these strategies

will only yield results if we

prioritise the maintenance of

the equipment involved. Without

proper upkeep, even the most

advanced technologies will fall

short of their intended impact.

But OGI’s value proposition

extends far beyond technology.

The company is built on the

strength of its people. With

one of the most skilled,

knowledgeable, and reliable

teams in the industry, OGI

has cultivated a culture of

excellence and trust. Clients

consistently commend the

team’s professionalism, technical

expertise, and dedication to

solving complex challenges. This

commitment has led to a loyal

customer base and exceptionally

low staff turnover, both of which

are key indicators of a company

that not only performs but cares.


This year’s World Biogas Expo will serve as a stage

for OGI to highlight its innovations and showcase

how its solutions are making a real-world

difference. Attendees will have the opportunity

to see firsthand how OGI’s technology works,

speak with the experts behind it, and explore the

many benefits that come with choosing a partner

who understands both the environmental and

operational demands of modern industry.

You can find OGI at Stand C43, where our team will

be offering live demonstrations and consultations

tailored to your business’s unique needs. Whether

your goal is to improve compliance, enhance safety,

reduce losses, or achieve long-term sustainability

targets, OGI has the tools and expertise to help you

get there.

Biogas grass silage additive proves

value after two difficult seasons

Following successful trials in 2023/24 at

Evesham-based Vale Green Energy’s biogas

plant, a new grass silage additive from FM

BioEnergy has further proved its value and

adaptability this year (2024/25).

Silasil Energy SG has delivered

impressive results across a range

of situations from high dry matter

grasses in the West Midlands to wet

fourth-cut silage in Northern Ireland.

Silasil Energy SG was specifically

developed to provide a silage

additive for the variability of dry

matter seen in UK-grown grass, at a

range of dry matters, temperatures

and pH levels. Featuring a unique

combination of four bacterial strains,

instead of the usual two found

in other silage additives, it has

proven ideal for the unpredictable

summer weather seen across the

UK in recent years, as Andy Lee, FM

BioEnergy’s UK Forage Manager,

explains, “In the UK and Ireland,

we’ve had two years with highly

unpredictable weather for making

silage. In some areas it was wet early, in others

it was too hot during mid-summer, drying crops

out. In Northern Ireland particularly, they have had

two atrocious years. This means that farmers have

faced really challenging conditions. However, Silasil

Energy SG has proved its effectiveness in two of

the worst years possible for silage production.”

One user grateful for the benefits of

Silasil Energy SG is Willsborough AD

near Derry/Londonderry in Northern

Ireland. The 500 kW on-farm biogas

plant is predominantly fed using

grass silage (with some wholecrop

cereals), but with average rainfall

between 2.2 and 3.7 inches (56 to

94mm) per month, it can be hard to

produce the recommended minimum

dry matter content of 25%.

“I’m really pleased with the results,”

says Willsborough AD owner Rob

Gallagher. “In the past we’ve had

issues with clamps heating and

spoiling, meaning silage has had to

be used earlier than planned or even

making it unsuitable for use at all.

“However, since using Silasil Energy

SG, from the front of the clamp

to the very back, our silage has

remained cold and free from yeasts and moulds

throughout the season – this hasn’t always been

the case with other silage additives we’ve tried

over the years.”

HRS orange shoes return to the

NEC for World Biogas Expo 2025

HRS Heat Exchangers will

return to the NEC in July,

where visitors will quickly

be able to identify them

thanks to their trademark

orange shoes. The team

will be happy to discuss

the importance of biogas

project optimisation in an

increasingly uncertain world and provide real case

studies using HRS systems and components from

biogas projects around the globe.

A global leader in heat exchange technology for

the AD and biogas sector, HRS offers systems

for digester heating, pasteurisation, digestate

concentration, biogas dehumidification, and

sludge and exhaust gas heat recovery. HRS

equipment is installed at more than 200 biogas

plants worldwide, helping operators to improve

their efficiency and

overall operation. Last

year the company

delivered its largest

ever order for 384 heat

exchanger modules

(weighing a total of

126 tonnes) to a client

in North America for

a renewable energy

project.

Closer to home, the National

Farmers Union (NFU)

continues to push for more

on-farm use of anaerobic

digestion and deliver on its

ambition for 1,000 on-farm

biogas plants in the UK,

around double the current

number(1).

“Global economic challenges mean that

financing new plants can be difficult, even where

governments are supportive,” comments Matt Hale,

HRS Heat Exchanger’s Global Key Account Director.

“One way to improve economic returns and

maximise biogas production is to upgrade existing

plants, and in particular maximise efficiency at

every stage of the process.

HRS Heat Exchangers’ wide range of products and

systems for AD and biogas include:

t HRS DTI Series for digester

heating

t HRS G Series for exhaust gas

heat recovery

t HRS Biogas Dehumidification

System (BDS) which removes

water from biogas, protecting

CHP engines from corrosion and

cavitation

t HRS Digestate Pasteurisation


Analysis in March 2024 after 22 weeks of storage

showed that last year’s fourth cut silage was still

in good condition with good gas yield potential.

“Despite low dry matter of just 16.4%, key quality

parameters including protein and acid levels were

good, and the pH was below 4,” adds Andy Lee.

“Without the use of Silasil Energy SG that silage

would have been completely unusable due to its

low dry matter.”

Evaluate feedstock quality and boost profits with

our innovative automated technology

As demand for sustainable

energy increases, the biogas

and biomethane sector play an

essential role. However, meeting

the energy demand while ensuring

profitability requires optimisation

of current biogas and biomethane

production. This begins with

feedstock selection and process

optimisation.

Feedstock quality is critical for

biomethane production. During the

anaerobic digestion process, the

amount of biogas and biomethane

that is produced depends on many factors,

including feedstock composition, pre-treatment

and additives. Both selecting the right feedstock

and optimising the digestion process can lead to

an increase in methane production. Furthermore,

understanding feedstock quality means it can

be priced correctly, boosting your biogas plant

profitability.

At BPC Instruments, we develop instruments that

enable more efficient, reliable and higher quality

analysis of the biogas production process. Our

flagship product, the Automated Methane Potential

Test System (AMPTS® III), is a fully integrated

system designed for performing batch anaerobic

digestion tests with highly reproducible results.

The AMPTS® III allows you to perform feedstock

quality control, optimise substrate mixtures

for co-digestion, screen proper pre-treatment

methods, and evaluate the need for additives. The

instrument boasts:

t Automated and intuitive operation with remote

access to data analysis, instrument control and

report generation

t Real-time measurements of up to 18 channels

t Significant reductions in time and labour

t Various application possibilities including

biomethane methane potential (BMP) tests,

specific methanogenic activity (SMA) assays

and residual gas potential (RGP) analyses on

digested slurry.

At BPC Instruments, we are experts in the

anaerobic digestion process, also offering

instruments for process optimisation, such as

our BioReactor Simulator (BRS III), in addition

to bioreactors, agitation systems and gasflow

meters from small to industrial scale. BPC

Instruments also offer service analysis BMP testing

of your feedstock samples in-house with AMPTS®

III at our laboratory in Sweden.

electric vehicles and waste management

solutions, has launched a new range of Refuse

Collection Vehicles which are specifically

engineered to tackle the challenges of urban and

food waste collection.

The Refuse Collection Vehicle range, which includes

the Goupil G4, the long-wheelbase G4L and

Bradshaw's pedestrian PFB1500, are each designed

to offer a solution to local authorities and waste

management companies who need to operate in

confined urban and pedestrian areas.

All three models have been made available in 4

body configurations; high tip body only, high tip

body with bin lift, high tip body with bin lift and

compaction arm or high tip body with bin lift and

rear door for food waste collection.

Both the Goupil's and Bradshaw's RCVs are

compact, agile, highly manoeuvrable and ideally

suited to towns, high streets and pedestrianised

areas. Their compact dimensions enable access

240, and 360 litre bins. The G4L

Long-Wheelbase adds 500mm to

its chassis, increases the volume

to 3.5m3 and works with larger

660-litre bins.

Based on the popular PFB1500,

which is available with a number

of body options, including cage

body, Bradshaw’s pedestriancontrolled

walk-along RCV is designed to tackle the

challenges of urban waste collection in areas with

high pedestrian footfall and limited vehicle access.

The pedestrian-controlled RCV handles 120, 240 and

360-litre bins and features a corrosion-resistant

aluminium hopper. The ergonomic tiller head

provides a comfortable and precise operation and

can be driven easily with either hand. With five

braking systems, automatic hill hold, and advanced

safety features, it ensures safe operation on

slopes.

All three RCVs feature corrosion-resistant

aluminium bodies with a 90° tipping angle for easy

waste disposal into larger containers or larger

RCVs for satellite operations, streamlining waste

collection rounds and reducing overall time on the

streets.

With increasing pressure on local authorities

to reduce emissions and improve air quality,

traditional diesel-powered waste vehicles are no

longer viable. Bradshaw's latest offering addresses

these concerns by providing a zero-emission, costeffective

solution tailored for urban environments.

The Goupil G4 RCV in particular arrives

at a crucial time for waste management

operations following the introduction new

recycling regulations coming into effect on

31st March 2025, requiring businesses across

England that produce more than 5 kg of food

waste per week being legally required to

segregate food waste from general waste.

Ramsy Labassi, Marketing Manager of

Bradshaw Electric Vehicles, commented, "As

a company that is continually looking to

innovate and respond to the evolving needs

of its customers, we have introduced this new

RCV range to offer a more sustainable and

efficient solution for urban waste collection.

“Urban zones are becoming increasingly difficult

for traditional waste collection vehicles to navigate

due to rising congestion, restricted access zones,

low-emission regulations, and the continued

pedestrianisation of city centres and high streets.

However, Bradshaw’s new compact RCV range has

been purpose-built to overcome these challenges,

offering local authorities and waste contractors a

practical and zero-emission alternative that can

easily access tight spaces and operate safely in

areas with high pedestrian footfall.

“Both vehicles have been launched at a time where

there's a growing need from local authorities to

improve efficiency in collecting waste, especially

with the new food waste regulations coming

into force recently, and we are delighted to

already be receiving overwhelming interest for

our new vehicles as they seek innovative and

environmentally friendly alternatives to existing

refuse collection practices – which typically involve

large diesel-powered vehicles that simply have

become unsuitable and impractical in line with how

urban environments are evolving.”

Recycling & Waste Management


Air Quality

How dust affects air quality near

recycling plants and waste facilities

Air Spectrum Environmental

are specialists in dust control

and environmental solutions,

and therefore understand the

importance of managing the risks

imposed by airborne dust to ensure

both regulatory compliance and

community wellbeing.

Airborne dust is an unavoidable

by-product of recycling and waste

processing and can significantly

impact air quality both on-site and in

surrounding areas. From the unloading

of mixed materials to the crushing and

sorting processes, mechanical handling

generates fine particulate matter—

known as fugitive dust emissions.

Without an effective dust suppression

thortful prevents

22.3 tons of carbon

from entering the

atmosphere

n honour of World Environment Day on the 5th June,

Igreetings card company thortful has shared its

sustainability journey, detailing their top initiatives to

ensure that they are looking after the planet, and to

inspire other businesses to take greener steps.

thortful has prevented 22.3 tons of carbon from entering

the atmosphere. And along with the other projects it funds

through Ecologi, the trees planted have removed 210 tons

of carbon from the atmosphere. That's the equivalent of

100 economy flights from London to Beijing.

In addition to the partnership with Ecologi, thortful also

has other eco-initiatives to help the environment. All

thortful cards use vegan inks, and all cards are 100%

recyclable. thortful also use Royal Mail and DPD, the top

two eco friendliest couriers in the UK. All cards are printed

on the UK's mainland, not printed overseas and flown into

the UK because it's cheaper.

The World Environment Day 2024 theme is all about

land restoration and preventing desertification and

drought, with the slogan: "Our land. Our future. We are

#GenerationRestoration." Since partnering with Ecologi,

thortful has helped fund various projects around the world,

alongside other eco-conscious businesses.

The initiatives have helped plant over 1,930 trees in

all corners of the world, including Kenya, Madagascar,

Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal, Ecuador,

Morocco, and Peru.

system in place, these particles can

escape the facility boundaries, posing

health risks to nearby communities &

contributing to serious air pollution.

This problem becomes even more

inherent in the summer months

in dryer weather conditions when

ambient moisture is low. This is when

road dust suppression within a site

becomes even more integral.

When dust control is poorly

managed, it can lead to elevated

levels of particulate matter PM10 and

PM2.5, both of which have negative

impact on overall health causing

increases in cardiovascular issues

such as asthma and bronchitis.

Ensuring compliance amid the rapid

roll-out of EV Charge points

he growing sales of electric vehicles (EVs)

Tcontinues apace, as governments

around the world set ambitious targets

for EV adoption in line with wider

emissions reduction goals. However,

can a rapid roll-out of EV charge

points (EVCPs) lead to a lack of

safety?

Strategic Technical Director at

Bureau Veritas, Michael Kenyon MIET,

looks at recent research on EVCP

safety and asserts that more must be

done to ensure this high current using

equipment remains fit for use.

However, Air Spectrum Environmental

offer effective dust suppression

strategies including a variety of

equipment to help manage dust.

From machines that spray fine mist

directly where dust is created like

Rotary Atomisers and Jetstream

systems, to systems that create

barriers at the edges of a site, like

their Pacific systems, Air Spectrum

cannons and other products available

to rent or buy, depending on what your

site needs. Plus, air quality monitors to

keep track of dust levels in real time.

energy sources, electric vehicles,

and intelligent, energy-efficient

buildings.

The site, which is almost triple

the size of Schneider Electric's

existing Scarborough facility, is a blueprint for sustainable

design and operations in the manufacturing industry. It

is poised to become a net-zero plant and will use modern

technology to reduce energy waste and maximise the

use of renewable energy. It is expected to be net-zero in

Scope 1 and 2 emissions when it opens in early 2025.

t 30% of the facility's energy will be produced by a

state-of-the art solar energy system, with solar panels

covering 50% of the roof, to ensure the building

harnesses solar energy efficiently.

t Any energy consumed on site from the national grid

will be ‘renewable certified’.

However, while the last century has

been dominated by petrol and diesel

cars, there is now a global shift

to EVs, as governments around

the world cite transport as a key

area for decarbonisation. The

UK Government specifically has

targeted 2035 for the ban on the

sale of new petrol and diesel cars

and we’ve seen an almost 400%

growth in EVs registered in the UK

over the past 4 years. This will show no

sign of abating as economies of scale will be

seen with higher production volumes and lower

Fleet decarbonisation: Practical steps for businesses

to cut emissions and lower costs

Are UK and EU businesses doing enough

to decarbonise their fleets, or are

they missing a strategic opportunity as

regulations tighten and EV technology

matures?

An applied research project by MBA

students at Warwick Business School, in

collaboration with sustainability consultancy

Verco and global consultancy BIP UK,

explores how businesses can accelerate

fleet decarbonisation. Part of Warwick's

Leadership Plus module, the project

focused on identifying practical strategies

that combine emissions reduction with

operational and financial benefits.

Guided by Verco and BIP consultants, the student

team analysed market trends, emissions data, and

cost modelling to develop a prototype Total Cost of

Ownership (TCO) tool. This tool helps organisations

assess various fleet transition options and pinpoint

where EV adoption delivers the greatest value.

In one scenario, a mid-sized UK logistics fleet

(42 vans, 21 trucks, 7 HGVs) could cut annual CO 2

emissions from 2,416.4 tonnes to 829.1 tonnes (a

65.7% reduction) by switching to electric vehicles.

The modelling aligns with market trends

suggesting TCO parity between EVs and diesel

The next generation of

trommel screen

Screening with maximum

efficiency: With the SM

620.3, Doppstadt presents the

latest generation of its proven

trommel screen. Developed

based on customer feedback

and requirements, the SM 620.3

combines the proven performance

of previous models with innovative

features such as the DualPower

drive, which makes operation even

more flexible and convenient.

After Doppstadt presented the

prototype at IFAT 2024, many

screening machines are already

successfully in use today.

Doppstadt focuses on flexibility

and user-friendliness with the SM

620.3. “With the latest generation

of our trommel, users no longer

have to choose between a diesel

or electric drive,” explains Moritz

Müller, Product Manager at

Doppstadt. This is because the

DualPower drive combines both -

depending on the application, an

uncomplicated change is possible.

For example, if there is no power

connection available, diesel

operation is an option. In this case,

the addition of AdBlue is no longer

necessary. This saves costs and

makes refuelling particularly easy.

In residential areas, the e-drive

scores with its low noise level, and

in halls with reduced emissions.

The SM 620.3 also sets new

standards in the area of material

processing. The galvanised

discharge belts offer particularly

high resistance & good protection

against corrosion. This proves

particularly effective in demanding

applications such as the

processing of mineral materials.
