The role of hydrogen toward a greener future

The commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is driving the search for cleaner, commercially viable energy technologies. As a result, worldwide demand for hydrogen, known as a versatile energy carrier, is growing steadily worldwide, facing major roadblocks along every step of the supply chain. A shift to absolute-zero carbon hydrogen production requires transformation at every level, a challenge for everyone involved.

Industrial companies are spearheading the fight against climate change

In the past year, the consequences of climate change have been more tangible than ever before. With 2024 shaping up to be as extreme as 2023 in terms of weather events, Québec’s Comité consultatif sur les changements climatiques has published its sixth opinion calling for accelerated decarbonization and adaptation to climate change.

Compressed air: A more precious resource than it may seem

When you were young, your parents probably said this to you in the wintertime: “Close the door. We're not heating the neighbourhood!” Even if you disliked this comment, it still made common sense. You might not have seen the wasted energy and money, but it was very real. The same applies to compressed air. You may think that air is free, but that's far from being true, as this blog article will demonstrate.

Optimizing solutions for air quality and acoustics in industrial settings

Many industries generate air pollutants—dust, fumes, and organic and chemical compounds—as well as odours. Québec’s Clean Air Regulation1 (CAR) sets guidelines regarding the release and impact of these pollutants on ambient air quality. As urban sprawl brings residential neighbourhoods and industrial areas closer, fostering a harmonious relationship with your immediate neighbours is a must.

Developing a reliable mining decarbonization plan

As global awareness of climate change reaches new heights, pressures on mining companies are becoming increasingly stronger to move more quickly toward decarbonization. As stated in Part 1 of this blog article, Purposeful planning for mining decarbonization, mining companies need to come up with a reliable action plan. There are three questions to ask when establishing a plan development process:

Ingenious women – Yiru Wang

"I really hesitated between the health and engineering sectors. I like interacting with people, I’m proactive and I enjoy reflecting and finding solutions, so I was interested in both. But I wanted a career filled with many opportunities that would surprise me. The engineering field just seemed to offer me more.
