    Intelligence in Manufacturing
    Energy Saving now for long-term gains.

    The current crisis in the cost of energy is likely to last for some time to come and so everyone’s attention is on how to become more efficient and reduce energy usage. The current crisis is caused by the rising global price of gas which has imprecations for heating our homes and places of work along with electricity production which is reliant in part on gas as a fuel. Of course, as more wind and solar generation is added to the mix, the nation grid will over time be less reliant on global gas prices. Energy savings, both at home and in industry, is of course a long-term goal that will contribute significantly to fixing the climate crisis.
