Drives for New Energy
Every generation has its challenges and is looking for better solutions for a brighter tomorrow. The world is at a turning point, and we need to cut CO2 emissions. The most effective way to do this is to use less energy – and to ensure that the energy used is as green as possible. Drives are one way for industries to achieve energy efficiency, and so is the use of renewable energy sources. This issue looks at drives and related technologies that nurture innovation and sustainability, as well as some products and solutions that are making use of renewable energy sources to help drive the low-carbon future for industries, cities, and infrastructure. We may not be able to turn everything off, but we can keep the world turning while saving energy every day. Enjoy reading!
