The UK government should develop an integrated materials strategy to reduce demand, reuse and recycle critical materials to support the UK’s existing Net Zero Strategy, and improve economic security, according to a new report by the National Engineering Policy Centre, led by the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Ready for use in forthcoming multi-protocol smart meters that enhance flexibility for handling energy data, STMicroelectronics’ ST85MM programmable powerline communication (PLC) modem natively supports field-proven Meters and More and PRIME 1.4 smart grid standards.

Infineon Technologies is paving the way to a significant reduction of plastic waste and CO2 emissions in the payment card industry. The company has announced the launch of SECORA Pay Green which enables card designs allowing production of the world’s first fully recyclable contactless (dual-interface) payment card bodies based on environmentally friendly and locally sourced materials.

Rehlko, formerly Kohler, has provided Data4, a major European data centre operator with crucial data on the environmental lifecycle impact of its mission-critical generators, allowing the company to make more informed decisions about low-carbon strategies.

A team from the University of Oxford have been investigating the decline in insect populations and the impact this is having on our ecosystem. Biotracking technology is a system of tracking insect movements and behaviours on a large scale by using a combination of radar, optical systems, and miniature chips to monitor insects like bees. 

Google has announced a partnership with Kairos Energy as it turns to nuclear energy to tackle the growing AI data centre power consumption crisis. The partnership will see Google utilise a fleet of Kairos Energy’s advanced small nuclear reactors for its AI data centres, potentially the start of an industry-wide sweep to decarbonise the tech sectors carbon footprint.
