The technical risks of process commercialization

We often hear about groundbreaking solutions designed to combat global warming, produce green energy or improve living conditions. These innovations include alloy powders for 3D printing, anode and cathode powders for high-capacity batteries and additives such as graphene that enhance the properties of everyday objects. They also include catalysts used in green hydrogen production. Producing these new materials often involves developing innovative manufacturing processes. Successfully commercialized innovations typically come from manufacturing processes that have migrated from the lab to full industrial scale while navigating two major risk categories: technical and commercial. This article explores technical risks, while a future article will address commercial risks.

Hurricanes are becoming increasingly violent, but industrial companies can calm the trend

Scientists warn that hurricanes are becoming increasingly violent, a trend worsened by climate change, which is warming the oceans. Warm water fuels these storms, making winds stronger and rainfall more intense. Hugo Careau, Senior Decarbonization Engineer at BBA, explains how industrial companies can begin or speed up their transition to carbon neutrality, playing a key role in reducing global CO2 emissions significantly.

Solving structural vibration issues

A structure subjected to vibrational stresses can exhibit unexpected behaviour and may suffer rapid damage. For instance, some members far from the source of vibration may begin to vibrate significantly, a phenomenon known as resonance. When the vibration frequency of an external influence approaches the resonant frequency of the system under study—determined by the system's properties—it can lead to substantial displacements and even catastrophic structural failure.

Recycling: a cornerstone of decarbonization

The extraction of natural resources is growing at an unbridled rate. So much so that the United Nations' International Resource Panel of experts, in its Global Resources Outlook 2024 report, calls for “urgent and concerted action” to slow the pace. If nothing is done, researchers estimate that this trend could increase by 60% by 2060, jeopardizing progress toward the sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015.
