KNOWLEDGE HUB
MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF ESTER-FLUID FILLED TRANSFORMERS: A Sustainable Innovation for the Power Generation Industry
[Presenter] Narong Timthong: Senior Electrical & Transformer Specialist
GRID CURTAILMENT STUDIES: Managing Revenue Risks in Renewable Energy Integration
[Presenter] Sansana Rattanasaengsakulthai: Electrical Engineer
eBook: Gas Power Generation Solutions for Asia Pacific's Energy Transition
Natural gas is set to play a pivotal role in Asia Pacific’s energy transition and displace much of the coal-fired electricity generation that makes up more than 50 percent of the region’s grids today.
WHITEPAPER: Sodium ion batteries - What do they mean for battery energy storage systems?
This whitepaper looks at the current and future economics of sodium ion batteries versus lithium ferrophosphate, and highlights some key features to watch out for as this exciting new technology develops.
Fueling the Future: Five Steps to Successful Sustainable Fuels Development
Sustainable fuels – those produced from primary renewable resources – have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil-based fuels. Renewable natural gas (RNG), Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), synthetic fuels and drop-in liquid biofuels are leading the way to help the world reach decarbonization targets.
REPORT: Black & Veatch 2025 Water Report
Utilities face a number of threats to a sustainable water supply including increasing drought, seawater contamination, and increased demand. Using One Water principles, our experts weigh in on topics such as top actions to improve water supply resiliency, water reuse options, and vulnerability studies.
EBOOK: Future-Ready Data Centers
Data center owners and developers are setting environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals to actively protect the environment and mitigate climate change impacts. A top approach is to reduce the carbon footprint of their operations by building and occupying green buildings and campuses. These sustainable structures are designed to enhance society, environment, culture and economy.
