FETSA Criticises European Commission’s Clean Industrial Deal & Affordable Energy Packages
The Federation of European Tank Storage Associations (FETSA) is disappointed by the European Commission’s Clean Industrial Deal and Affordable Energy Packages, urging a more comprehensive and strategic approach to Europe’s industrial challenges. While the Commission’s proposals reflect a worthy commitment to sustainability, they fail to adequately address the critical issues that are eroding Europe’s industrial base and competitiveness. ‘The European Commission’s approach to the Clean Industrial Deal and Affordable Energy Packages risks being more of a symbolic gesture than a solution to Europe’s industrial crisis,’ says Ravi Bhatiani, FETSA Executive Director. ‘The Commission should be focusing on addressing the underlying […]
Confidence in Net-Zero Goals Plummets as Industry Faces Policy, Investment Hurdles: EIC Report
Energy industry confidence in reaching global net-zero targets is fading as policy instability, financial uncertainty and slow project approvals continue to hinder progress, according to Net Zero Jeopardy Report II by the Energy Industries Council’s (EIC), the world-leading trade association for the energy supply chain industry. Only 16% of senior energy executives interviewed now believe the world can achieve net zero by 2050, down from 45% last year. The report, based on interviews with EIC member companies mostly based in the UK, points to growing concerns over the lack of clear regulatory frameworks, underinvestment in clean technologies and delays in […]

Protectoseal Explains: Conservation Vents For Emission Goals
Protectoseal’s Anand Palanivelu outlines how conservation vents can help storage terminals achieve net zero targets and reduce hazardous gases Storage tanks used for chemicals, petroleum products, and other volatile liquids, often experience changes in internal pressure due to temperature fluctuations, filling, and emptying cycles. As liquids expand or contract, vapour build-up can occur, creating excess pressure within the tank. If unchecked, this can lead to fugitive emissions, contributing to air pollution, ozone depletion, and climate change. Importantly, many of these emissions consist of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are hazardous to both the environment and human health. Regulatory agencies, such […]
OPW: Updating Overfill Prevention Monitors
How OPW’s new technology could help terminals meet evolving requirements The requirements for overfill protection and ground verification have remained consistent over the decades, yet terminal requirements and end-user needs have evolved. Terminal automation technology has become more sophisticated, while at the same time, truck driver demographics have become more diverse over the past few years. These dynamics have converged, highlighting the need for electronic monitoring systems that are advanced enough to meet terminal automation requirements while at the same time more user-friendly and intuitive to operate. OPW’s 8800 Series family of overfill protection and ground verification monitors are designed […]

AC Valve Alliance: Supplying The Skies
The experts at AC Valve Alliance explain the challenges of jet fuel storage and maintenance Not many people know that civil airports in the UK hold very little jet fuel storage capacity. The fuel is stored off site in strategic locations around the UK. There is a connecting pipeline grid that feeds the airports 24 hours a day in order to keep the capacity of fuel needed. This strategically designed grid was installed many decades ago and went through a complete upgrade starting in 2019 of all the equipment and controls. For safety reasons, storage of the bulk of fuel […]
