An investigation conducted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, has determined that Premier Engineering Projects Ltd and M&M Mobile Crane Hire Ltd could have prevented the death of a 48-year-old self-employed engineer. Russell Hartley had been hired by Premier Engineering Projects to replace a Trisomat screen, better known as a ‘flip-flop,’ at a materials recycling facility. Mr. Hartley and his team of engineers were using a crane, which was supplied by M&M Mobile Crane Hire, to lift the flip-flop off a telehandler, which had its forks slightly raised. The machinery then fell forward off the forks, crushing Mr. Hartley.

Thus, alternative renewable energy sources, including some strange ones, are being thoroughly explored, but we still have quite a long way to go before we can give fossil fuels a rest. Oil remains one of the most important resources in the world for more reasons than one.

A significant milestone achieved as the Danish partnership of Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy and Vestas inaugurated a green ammonia plant in Ramme, Northwest Jutland, Denmark. The plant will demonstrate how renewable power can be coupled directly to an ammonia plant while taking the fluctuations in power production into account, and simultaneously making it a cost-effective way of producing green ammonia.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
