While hydropower is emission-free, the use of traditional turbines can result in negative impacts on fish, especially migratory fish. Fast-spinning, traditional blades can cut them, sudden changes in pressure can kill them, as can being pushed through the turbine. But a new pin-wheel design turbine with blunt edges can act as "an airbag" and greatly improve the outcomes for fish. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200713-the-most-powerful-renewable-energy
Urban mining – collecting minerals and aggregates from
building sites after demolition and reclaiming them for industrial usage. Enter
smart containers and a circular economy, goodbye to illegal dumping and
overstocked landfills. Israeli company GREENMIX builds recycling parks for
urban mining of construction and demolition waste. They process the materials
and produce green concrete, sand, and gravel used for roads, rail, and even
underfloor fillers. GREENMIX operates two concrete plants, and the green
concrete produced is based on 100% recycled raw material and cement. It has the
“green label” issued by the Standards Institute of Israel. Reach out - https://www.bnz.co.il/?lang=en
Mining in Israel has historically not been a large-scale industry, aside from the ancient Timna valley mines that have been actively mined by humans since the era of King Solomon. However, Israel’s positioning as a center for advanced technology and innovation is well known worldwide, and is gradually being acknowledged by the mining industry as an excellent source of potential solutions. This idea post features Israeli companies that are some of the largest System Integrators and provide cutting-edge innovative technologies that make mining operations efficient and environmentally sustainable.
