CERN and the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) plan to develop new beam-intercepting devices using liquid-lead technologies to enhance the performance of particle accelerators worldwide
Through a strategic research partnership focused on CERN’s cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency audits have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4% across a total of 800 motors
With energy shortages anticipated this coming winter in Europe, CERN is implementing measures to contribute to the collective effort and minimise disruption.
In light of the current global energy supply and cost crisis, and as part of its social responsibility, CERN will be implementing measures that will significantly reduce the Laboratory’s energy consumption in 2022 and 2023
