While Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are sending rockets to explore space and make Mars habitable for humans, there’s a strong argument to be made for housekeeping changes on Earth, especially if you can’t afford to relocate to the Red Planet.
Women in the Field
Throughout all the years women have been in the workforce, they have faced numerous challenges, including balancing familial and professional responsibilities. On top of that, they’ve been up against bias and preconceived notions about what a woman can and can’t do when it comes to work.
Is Water the Answer to Renewable Power?
It’s pretty hard to miss how countries around the globe are making the environment a priority. From the latest Biden administration initiatives to put green power and renewable resources on the agenda to pledges by leading nations to meet new carbon-neutral goals by 2050, there’s one source that’s been achieving these targets for more than 100 years—hydroelectricity.
Fossil Fuels at a Fork in the Road
Peak oil theory is the concept that there is a point where the world’s production of oil will reach the maximum amount of production, after which the amount we can produce will start to decline. This comes from American geologist and geophysicist Marion King Hubbert, who theorized that oil production ultimately has a bell-shaped curve.
Keeping Workers Safe in High-Risk Environments
Working in natural resources is many things, but it is not 9 to 5 – and it comes with its own risks and rewards.
Innovation in Agriculture
They say you are what you eat.
Well, if technology is the future of food, we might be more apt to say we digitize than digest.
With 2 billion more people living on the planet in the next 30 years, global population is expected to outpace current food production supply by as early as 2050. Compounding this situation is that in some countries, such as the U.S., irrigation-thirsty agricultural land is pumping groundwater faster than nature can replenish.
Future-Proofing the Economy
We have become so good at extracting resources from the Earth that we’re now extracting at three times the rate that we did in 1970. Demand is increasing as emerging economies mature. By 2025, global consumption will reach $62 trillion, twice as much as in 2013.

The Green Future of Biofuels in Agriculture
Mention the word “farm,” or “farming” and a quaint, stereotypical image of a barn, fields, maybe cows and a tractor likely comes to mind.
Nuclear’s Green Reality
Nuclear power. Say those words and you can conjure up all sorts of images in people, from a lethal mushroom cloud to the power source of the future.

The New Generation of Energy Storage
As heavy industries around the world continue to strive for cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally friendly energy storage, plenty of options in addition to cogeneration, or combined heat and power (the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time), are emerging.
dmg events and The Global Energy Show & Conference
The world is in debate, and the subject is energy, whether traditional fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, or solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewables. Meanwhile, regulators and power producers alike search for the holy grail that is a lower-carbon economy.
Borea Construction
As Canada works toward total carbon neutrality by 2050, a future rich in renewable energy moves ever closer. Canada’s largest renewable-energy constructor, Borea Construction, is making renewable energy more accessible and smaller in size and environmental impact than ever before.
La Granaudière
The La Granaudière renewable energy project is currently underway in the Saint Michel des Saints region of Québec. The project involves constructing and operating a wood pellet plant capable of producing 200,000 metric tonnes of pellets annually, to be sold primarily in Europe. After more than five years of planning, the development broke ground in September of 2019 and is expected to be complete by end of the summer of this year.
AdvancedAg
Canada is one of the world’s biggest food producers, responsible for nutritious crops like wheat, corn, canola, rye, malt barley, soybeans, beets, and potatoes, to name a few. Pulses such as peas and lentils, chickpeas and beans—staples of Canadian farmers—are packed full of health-giving protein, fibre, and iron.
CLAAS of America
In an era marked by changing climates and a rising global population, the world’s food producers need new tools to raise efficiency and output. From its U.S. headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, CLAAS of America is dedicated to its mission of improving efficiency and reducing losses using over a century of industrial experience. With new machines, new facilities, and new leadership, CLAAS and its North American division offer the latest in farming machinery.
