  • Valves, Actuators & Regulators Blog: Hydrogen Blending to Decarbonize the Natural Gas Grid

    Jim Cahill
    The long-term strategy in Italy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through decarbonization focuses on increasing energy efficiency, electrification of end uses and switching to alternative fuels. Within the residential sector, to meet 2050 emissions targets, around 30% of final consumption will be of alternative, renewable fuels. The use of hydrogen aims to reach 2% by 2030 and 20% by 2050. In Italy, gas transportation…

  • Valves, Actuators & Regulators Blog: New Noise Reduction Technology for Gas Pipelines

    Jim Cahill
    Natural gas pipelines tend to produce loud noise as gas flows through pressure regulating valves. This is usually not a problem in isolated locations, but when neighborhoods develop or expand nearby, it becomes a pressing issue. Our article in the January 2024 issue of Pipeline & Gas Journal , titled “ New Alternatives for Noise Reduction in Gas Pipelines ,” describes the difficulties of pipeline pressure reduction…

  • Valves, Actuators & Regulators Blog: Gain Asset Health Insights with Emerson’s Digital Valve Controller

    Jim Cahill
    In many applications, control and on-off valves are subjected to regular position changes and constant contact with process media, causing wear and tear that must be monitored to prevent operational issues. Control valves are typically operated with a 4-20mA signal sent from a remote automation system, but without valve position feedback, drift from the intended setpoint can occur. On-off valves are simpler to control…
