The Shift Snippets
Power on the slopes: Innovative energy solutions in ski resorts
Did you know ski resorts can boost their energy independence by turning snowmaking ponds into pumped storage systems?
Traditionally, these systems are known for bigger scale, but innovative solutions now make it possible to use existing smaller ponds for energy storage. With rising energy demands and the push for renewables, ANDRITZ provides pumping technology adapted for smaller-scale applications – helping ski resorts store and generate power efficiently while promoting sustainable resource use in alpine regions.
Bluer skies ahead – with clean air technologies!
Did you know astronauts aboard the International Space Station can actually see smog from space?
Air pollution over major cities is visible from orbit and in some regions, poor air quality persists for hundreds of days each year. To tackle this, governments are increasingly focusing on measures like “point source control,” which targets specific emission sources. ANDRITZ contributes to cleaner air with advanced single- and multistage solutions that help reduce emissions and improve air quality worldwide.
Sweet history: from luxury item and medicine to everyday treats
Did you know sugar was once a luxury item – and even used as medicine?
Until around 1850, it was so expensive that only the wealthy could afford it. As prices dropped, sugar transformed from a rare remedy into a kitchen staple, used for preserving, decorating, and sweetening food. This shift paved the way for the treats we love today! ANDRITZ supports this sweet journey with cutting-edge solutions for sugar processing, helping producers maximize quality and efficiency.
