The stereo 3D viewing experience has always had some issues associated with it, with standard screens suffering from dim lighting and requiring the use of 3D glasses. More recently, fewer graphics card vendors are supporting traditional stereo displays. Vision Engineering, a global optical and digital innovation and manufacturing company, have now changed the game. CONTOUR is the future of glasses-free 3D stereoscopic displays, designed specifically for GIS professionals.
Millions of families in the UK risk being forced into fuel poverty after the energy price cap was increased in April leading to bills going up by £693 for 18 million households on standard tariffs. With further increases of up to £800 expected in October, when the energy price cap is next reviewed, it doesn’t appear there will be a reprieve any time soon. But what is specifically behind the energy crisis in the UK? What have other countries done to avoid similarly disastrous situations? What can the country do to mitigate the impact and help millions of citizens and businesses? And importantly, how can we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in favour of clean energy sources, such as solar power?
Geospatial Insight have been selected by a consortium of Public Sector bodies, including Isle of Wight Council, South West Net Zero Hub, and the West of England Combined Authority, to undertake a detailed analysis of the Isle of Wight’s key urban conurbations and council owned car parks to support the development of a public EV infrastructure deployment strategy for the south coast island.
Geospatial Insight (GSI) are working with Charge Point Operator Be.EV to help deliver fair and equitable EV charging infrastructure solutions across Greater Manchester. GSI are providing innovative, location based, intelligence around driveway availability, footway widths, and potential catchment areas for off-street charging hubs, allowing Be.EV to rapidly identify and prioritise deployment sites across the region.
The safety issues surrounding tailings dams has been a hot topic over the past few years, with numerous failings causing catastrophic property and environmental damages. To minimise the occurrence of disastrous collapses in the future, there is a pressing need to understand the stability of these infrastructures and implement more efficient monitoring solutions.
Energeo – now part of Geospatial Insight Limited – are delivering a portfolio of renewable energy intelligence to support a number of community projects in the East Hampshire District. The deliverables include a rooftop Solar PV suitability database for over 25,000 buildings in the district, as well as an assessment of over 500 square kilometres of land for ground mount solar potential. These datasets will enable community groups in the district to rapidly identify the most beneficial locations to deploy Solar PV, and determine opportunities to aggregate projects across the region.
As a Platinum Partner of Hexagon Geospatial, we not only distribute their leading-edge technologies across the UK, but also encourage its use internally – building powerful solutions and creating innovative applications both in the cloud and on desktop.
Geospatial Insight (GSI), a leading provider of global risk intelligence, has announced the integration of Energeo, experts in leveraging geospatial data and technology to identify rapid decarbonisation pathways, and low carbon technology deployment opportunities.
The long wind-down in timespreads at Cushing continued over the last few weeks with the January contract slipping into a shallow contango upon expiry earlier this week. That is reflective of the change in physical storage needs in the hub, inventories there having built a solid 7 million barrels since bottoming out in early November. In the last few weeks, several factors pulled in the same direction to help replenish Cushing levels, including the ramp-up of new midstream crude infrastructure bringing in additional volumes from Canada to the US Gulf, significant SPR releases in PADD-3, somewhat weak crude runs in PADD-2 (until recently), and even rising US onshore crude production.
