At the World Utilities Congress in Abu Dhabi the theme of battery storage technology was prominent.  Dr Matthias Vetter, of the Fraunhofer IIS Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Germany presented on ‘Battery storage: key enabler for large-scale integration of renewable energies’ and it was a pleasure to meet Dr Matthias Vetter in person.

It was great to meet Maarten Kanters, of Norway’s Cambi Invest at WUC. Cambi’s thermal hydrolysis processes are at the heart of advanced treatment of sewage sludge and bio-degradable waste. Cambi’s tech innovation reduces emissions in the wastewater sector.
