UK missing opportunity to be world leader in tackling climate change due to Government inaction
New report says that:
• Carbon Capture and Storage is essential to meet UK CO2 targets and deliver clean electricity
• UK is ideally placed to spearhead a new movement to cutting carbon emissions internationally
• It is not happening: The UK CCS effort is slowing down, whilst other countries are speeding up
• Innovation by industry is stifled by over-management of £1.5bn white elephant project
• UK can use electricity market finance to deliver new technology to slow climate change

E2S Hootronic improves productivity at the Port of Felixstowe
The new E2S Hootronic has been successfully trialled at the Port of Felixstowe, where the cranes cannot operate without a functioning warning device. The port's cranes currently use traditional electro-mechanical hooters, which have several moving parts and are prone to mechanical failure. In the trial, hooters have been replaced by the electronic Hootronic, which overcomes this problem by having no moving parts, eliminating downtime and increasing productivity. The Port of Felixstowe is now enjoying the benefits of replacing failed traditional electro-mechanical hooters with the new Hootronic.

Linear rail for hostile environment
Engineering components that are resistant to the ingress of wood dust are crucial to the reliability of a new automated production line being built by project engineering company, 3think Limited. This Halifax based company has designed, manufactured and is currently installing a bespoke automated line at a large timber engineering company. This special purpose machine automatically produces frames for timber framed houses and these can be up to 6m long and 3m wide. The process requires up to 8 nails per second to be fired into the frame to achieve the necessary productivity.
