One of the main considerations concerning the valve actuators at the Bens WWTP (waste water treatment plant) in Coruña, Spain, was its close proximity to the Atlantic coast and the resulting saline atmosphere in the area. It is well known that this environment is highly corrosive to exposed electrical equipment and can be a major cause of unreliability and breakdowns.

Rotork was able to reassure the main contractor, engineering company and the end user by referring them to the nearby Repsol Refinery, where all the installed actuators are Rotork’s intelligent IQ design, together with the Ro…

Back in January, we reported on the Lindell family as they embarked on their “One Tonne Life” challenge outside of Stockholm, Sweden. Three months into the project, the Lindells had reduced their carbon emissions by an impressive 64 percent, dropping from 7.29 tons of CO2 emissions per person per year to just 2.7 tons. Now, some six months into the challenge, the Lindells have slashed their emissions by nearly 80 percent, compared to January, and will finish the project with a paltry 1.5 tons of CO2 emissions per person per year. It’s a big change, but falls short of the stated goal of emitting just one metric ton of carbon emissions per person per year.

Transportation and electricity consumption were two key areas in which the Lindells made significant progress. This is thanks mostly to their state-of-the-art home - equipped with energy efficient appliances that run on solar and wind power - and the Lindell’s electric Volvo C30.

Alicja Lindell had this to say of the family’s journey down to 1.5 tons:

On our way down to 2.5 tonnes we didn’t have to make any major compromises in our everyday lifestyles. After that, however, things got tougher. Living at the 1.5 tonne level was an extreme experience for us.

“One Tonne Life” is a project in which A-hus, Vattenfall and Volvo, along with partners ICA and Siemens, created the necessary preconditions for a climate-smart household. Over a six-month period, the Lindells have switched from their 1970s villa and aging vehicles to a climate-sensitive wooden house provided by A-hus and a battery-powered Volvo C30 Electric. Vattenfall provided renewable electricity and ICA and Siemens coached the family in the areas of food and household appliances.

The carbon-offset powers that be over at TerraPass have updated its online, carbon footprint calculator to include estimates for greenhouse gas emissions from electric vehicles (EVs). Though EVs do not directly emit greenhouse gases, most - not all - do generate some emissions along the line when the electricity used to recharge the batteries is generated.

Following the Environmental Protection Agency’s lead, the TerraPass calculator utilizes the “miles per gallon-equivalent” figure displayed on a vehicle’s window sticker to make its calculations, with a “gallon-equivalent” pegged at 33.7 kWhs. For example, the EPA officially rates the battery-powered Nissan Leaf at 99 MPGe. The electric vehicle calculations on TerraPass are available by clicking the “Alternative Fuel” option on the site’s main carbon calculator page. Users can then enter the MPGe for any battery-powered vehicle.

In addition, the calculator update provides emissions estimates for all 2011 model year vehicles on sale nationwide.
