Plenary Session 2: Energy Management at Research Infrastructures. Current Actions
- J.-L. Revol (ESRF)
Brookhaven National Laboratory has been a leader in energy and water conservation for decades. Currently the Laboratory is managing the dual challenges of meeting clean energy goals while providing for the increased electric power demand of the Electron Ion Collider (EIC), its new nuclear physics accelerator facility currently being developed. The presentation will provide a summary of energy...
Accelerators are high energy consuming infrastructures, and even though light sources in particular has not an extremely high-power requirement, its continuous routine operation has an impact on the yearly required energy. Recent events have impacted the operation of some of the light sources, forcing in some cases the reduction of the operating hours. This has been a reminder that...
The climate crisis and the degradation of the world’s ecosystems require humanity to take immediate action. The international scientific community has a responsibility to limit the negative environmental impacts of basic research.
The HECAP+ communities (High Energy Physics, Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, and Hadron and Nuclear Physics) make use of common and similar experimental...
