There is a buzz in the transportation sector and it’s all about natural gas (NG). The industrial gas business, and its related production, distribution, and applications businesses, develop, design, and build equipment directly applicable to compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied...
As the world moves toward a cleaner planet, mandates for the use of environmentally friendly chemicals and technologies have created shifts in gas demand in some markets and ushered in new and/or expanded market opportunities for industrial and specialty gases and...
Fabricated parts—metal structures formed by cutting, bending, and assembling—are the underpinnings of modern life. They include everything from the steel girders that support our buildings to the oven rack that allows the bread to rise. As new technology makes old technology...
Thanks to the rising concern for the environment and the price of gas, electric-drive technologies are ready to compete with—and complement—the ubiquitous internal combustion engines (ICE), according to US Department of Energy (DOE) (www.energy. gov). By combining an ICE with new advanced...
According to a recent report by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) (“What’s Next for Alternative Energy,” www.bcg.com), “several alternative-energy technologies are approaching inflection points in their development, and the day when they could have a profound impact on the global energy landscape could...
Fossil fuels — petroleum, coal, and natural gas — represent mainstream energy sources: alternative fuels include everything else — from biomass to nuclear. Most of the energy consumed in the US, about 84 percent, comes from fossil...
Vacuum insulated products, cryogenic systems, biological storage systems, and related software and monitoring devices are invaluable to biotechnology research applications such as gene therapy, oncology, immunology, and stem cell research; they are therefore playing an increasingly large role in healthcare markets.
