Lhyfe and UGITECH have signed an MoU to establish a green hydrogen production unit near Ugitech’s site in Ugine, France. Their aim is to decarbonise the steelmaker’s operations and local mobility, while promoting sustainable winter tourism in the French Alps. By opting for a green hydrogen production unit, companies like Ugitech can make substantial strides in shrinking their carbon footprint, thereby bolstering global initiatives to mitigate climate change. This move is especially pivotal in industries like steelmaking, known for their challenging decarbonisation processes due to high carbon emissions. Green hydrogen offers a promising alternative. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eQ6VWwek At Gastech 2024, numerous projects akin to this initiative will take centre stage, showcasing a collective dedication to the energy transition. These projects highlight the industry’s commitment to innovative green solutions and technology, reinforcing the trajectory towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious energy landscape.

Many different aging and degradation mechanisms are constantly at work on equipment and buildings. Fatigue cycles accelerate aging and can limit the remaining component lifetime. Framatome's Aging Management enables long-term operation by ensuring the safety of your power plant. Our comprehensive plant status assessment has already been successfully applied to a number of nuclear power plants (NPPs) worldwide. It provides the basis for long-term operation (LTO) and the implementation of an effective plant life management program. https://lnkd.in/e8f5hMjV #NuclearEnergy #AgingManagement #LongTermOperations #Framatome #Framatome

Strengthening ties with our Nuclear industry partners in Europe. First edition of the EDF European Nuclear Suppliers’ Days gathering more than 300 industry representatives in Paris On June 4-5, EDF in partnership with GIFEN and Business France hosted its inaugural EDF European Nuclear Suppliers' Days in Paris. This event gathered over 300 industry leaders from 15 European countries to explore the future of nuclear projects and emphasize the critical role of a robust European supply chain. The nuclear sector stands at the forefront of reindustrializing Europe. By fortifying our supply chain, we are poised to catalyze significant economic growth, drive innovation, and enhance our competitiveness on the global stage. The French #nuclear industry is fully engaged and eager to expand its collaboration with European partners. Through GIFEN, we are dedicated to working alongside other European industries to execute both French and broader European nuclear projects efficiently and effectively, with #EPR and NUWARD SMRtechnologies. I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Czech Power Industry Alliance; the UK Nuclear Industry Association; and the Polish Chamber of Power Industry (IGEOS) for their active participation in this first-of-its kind supply chain event. The ambitious nuclear journey of Europe already started, and it requires a collective effort. Let’s use this event as a platform to forge those partnerships and discuss how we can collectively advance our industry for the success of our European nuclear projects. #EDF #EPRtechnology #Europeansuppliers

[#HydrogenPurification] Regardless of its origin, #hydrogen comes with an array of impurities and its use entails strict specifications. ⚠️ Hydrogen from an SMR (#SteamMethaneReformer) or an ATR (#AutothermalReformer) coupled with a PSA unit can still have traces of carbon oxides and water and needs to be purified. The steps are the following: ✅ The purification is first carried out through a Methanator containing MT 201, which converts CO/CO₂ into CH4. ✅ The ultra-pure Hydrogen is then dried by AxSorb® desiccants, so that it can be used for any application. ➡️ Click here to discover more of our #H2Purification solutions: https://hubs.ly/Q02yfWR80

Every year across the Orano group, we set aside time for a #SafetyDay! So last Thursday in the UK, we took the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our employees, communities, and the environment. At Orano, safety is always our priority, whether that is on our operational sites or in more office-based environments: it is our main value as a company. For years, Orano Limited has aimed to establish of a strong safety culture within the UK, taking time to consider risks to our safety in and outside of work, learning more about how to keep safe, and discussing how topics such as inclusion, diversity and equality allow us to create a workplace and community where everyone feels safe. From time to time, we all need to take a moment to remind ourselves what we need to be aware of both inside and out work, and #SafetyDay is an opportunity we take to do that together. Why not take a moment today to consider what might keep you and those around you safer? Here’s a glimpse of some of the things we thought about! #safety #nuclear #workplace #wellbeing #orano #oranolimited #teamorano ......................................................................................................................................................... 👷‍♀️ Physical safety 👷‍♂️ Don’t take risks with your body! This year, we spoke about manual handling- think about your posture, what’s around you, and your own capabilities when lifting and moving items. … we also heard from some of our team on safety in their chosen hobbies, whether that was horse riding or shooting! 🌳 Environmental safety 🌲 How do we make the world safer to live in? We want a safe and healthy world for everyone, with clean air and a safe climate, so we discussed how we as a company can continue to reduce our carbon emissions. 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 Community safety 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 How can we create a safe community? Fighting discrimination to keep people safe and to create a culture where people can identify risks and problems that may be crucial for all our safety. ❓ Test your knowledge! ❓ What do you know about Health and Safety? … and we wrapped up with a quiz on some lesser known facts about the history of Health and Safety, and testing people’s knowledge on some key safety-related helplines and acronyms!
