Esto es un extracto de la tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Recientemente, varias marcas de automóviles como Kia España, con Eduardo Dívar; Renault Group Spain, con Sébastien Guigues, y BMW Group, con Manuel Terroba, entre otras, han comenzado a incorporar un concepto que hasta ahora era más común en el sector energético y menos conocido en la industria del automóvil: el Certificado de Ahorro Energético (CAE). Esto nos lleva a preguntarnos: ¿qué son exactamente los CAE? ¿Por qué ahora el sector del automóvil muestra interés por ellos? ¿Suponen realmente un ahorro en la compra de un coche? Vamos por partes. Seguro que alguna vez has oído que, si mejoras la eficiencia energética de tu vivienda, por ejemplo, instalando ventanas que mejoren el aislamiento, puedes recibir una compensación económica. Pues bien, eso es un CAE. ¿Qué es un Certificado de Ahorro Energético? Según el Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, los CAE son documentos que certifican que hemos llevado a cabo una acción que ha generado un ahorro de energía. Aquí es donde entra en juego el sector del automóvil, en particular los vehículos eléctricos. Es importante recordar que los motores eléctricos son mucho más eficientes que los de combustión: un motor eléctrico tiene una eficiencia de aproximadamente el 90%, mientras que un motor de gasolina ronda entre el 25% y el 30%. Si además la electricidad utilizada proviene de fuentes renovables —en España en 2024, el 56% de la generación eléctrica fue renovable—, el ahorro energético es aún mayor. Por lo tanto, cuando un usuario cambia un coche de combustión por uno eléctrico, se genera un ahorro de energía que puede traducirse en un Certificado de Ahorro Energético. El vínculo entre el automóvil y los CAE Aquí es donde se produce la conexión entre las compañías energéticas y la industria del automóvil. Las empresas energéticas tienen la obligación de mejorar la eficiencia energética, y una forma de hacerlo es comprando CAE a terceros que han implementado medidas de ahorro, como los fabricantes de coches que fomentan la electrificación. Por este motivo, marcas como Renault Group y Kia España han llegado a acuerdos con Iberdrola para intercambiar estos certificados. Como incentivo, Renault y Kia ofrecen 800 euros a los clientes que entreguen un coche de combustión y compren uno eléctrico, mientras que BMW eleva esta cantidad a 900 euros. Además, este dinero es compatible con otras ayudas disponibles. Luis Buil, director de Smart Solutions de Iberdrola, ha señalado que el objetivo de este acuerdo es facilitar la transición hacia la electrificación, mientras que Sébastien Guigues, director general de Renault y Alpine en Iberia, ha destacado que Renault fue el primer fabricante en aplicar este sistema desde febrero, reforzando su apuesta por la movilidad sostenible. ¿Por qué desguazar un coche antiguo genera CAE? Cuando un vehículo viejo se retira definitivamente de la circulación, se reduce el impacto medioambiental, ya que los coches más antiguos suelen consumir más combustible y emitir más gases contaminantes. El ahorro energético derivado del desguace de un coche se debe a: Menor consumo de combustible en circulación: Si un coche antiguo es reemplazado por uno más eficiente o se deja de usar, se reduce la demanda de energía. Menos emisiones contaminantes: La retirada de vehículos antiguos disminuye la emisión de CO₂, NOx y partículas nocivas. Reciclaje de materiales: Reutilizar componentes del coche reduce el uso de nuevos recursos. ¿Cuánto se ahorra con un coche eléctrico? Para entenderlo mejor, comparemos el consumo de un coche diésel y un eléctrico en 10.000 km anuales: Coche diésel Consumo: 6 litros/100 km Energía consumida al año: 5.880 kWh Coche eléctrico Consumo: 20 kWh/100 km Energía consumida al año: 2.000 kWh Esto supone un ahorro de 3.880 kWh al año con el coche eléctrico. Dado que 1 CAE equivale a 1 kWh de ahorro, hablamos de 3.880 CAE generados. Si el precio de cada CAE en 2024 es de 0,182 € por kWh, el valor total sería: 3.880 CAE × 0,182 €/CAE = 706,16 € En definitiva, el cambio a un vehículo eléctrico no solo implica un ahorro energético considerable, sino que además puede traducirse en incentivos económicos directos gracias a los CAE.

In today's fast-paced world, many individuals struggle to maintain a healthy and thriving indoor garden. Busy lifestyles, frequent travel, and a lack of gardening expertise often lead to neglected plants and, ultimately, plant death. However, technological advancements have paved the way for innovative solutions that simplify plant care. One such innovation is the smart planter, exemplified by the LeafyPod, which automates plant care through integrated technology, thereby making it easier for anyone to nurture their houseplants.Smart Planter Automates Plant CareThe LeafyPod is designed to be a smart planter that takes the guesswork out of plant care. At its core, the device is equipped with a built-in water tank and pumps that facilitate automatic watering. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who may forget to water their plants regularly or for individuals who travel frequently. The smart planter can hold approximately 33 ounces of water, which can sustain an average plant for several weeks. This efficiency allows users to maintain their indoor greenery without the constant worry of over- or under-watering.What sets the LeafyPod apart from traditional planters is its incorporation of advanced sensors that monitor critical environmental factors. The device measures soil moisture, light levels, temperature, and humidity, providing users with real-time data about their plants' conditions. This information is relayed to a companion app, allowing users to track their plants' health and receive notifications when care is needed. For instance, if the soil moisture drops below a certain threshold, the app can prompt the user to water the plant or automatically initiate the watering process if the user has selected that option. This level of automation is particularly advantageous for novice plant caregivers who may not fully understand the specific needs of different plant species.Smart Solutions for Many Popular PlantsThe user-friendly app also allows for customization in plant care. Users can select from over 100 popular houseplants and tailor the care routine according to each plant's requirements. Options include automatic watering, scheduled watering intervals, or even manual watering preferences. This flexibility ensures that both experienced plant enthusiasts and beginners can find a suitable care regimen for their indoor plants. Furthermore, the LeafyPod is designed to be wireless, relying on IoT technology to connect to a home Wi-Fi network, which enhances its versatility and ease of use.Another significant advantage of the LeafyPod is its portability. The device can operate for up to three months on a single charge, allowing users to place it anywhere in their home without the need for unsightly power cords. This feature not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of indoor gardening but also enables users to experiment with different placements to find the optimal environment for their plants.While the LeafyPod currently caters to a specific range of plant sizes, the company has plans for future expansions, including larger models for bigger plants. This adaptability reflects the growing demand for smart gardening solutions and the company's commitment to meeting diverse consumer needs.Conclusion: LeaftPod Takes the Guesswork Out of Plant CareIn conclusion, the LeafyPod smart planter represents a significant advancement in the realm of indoor gardening.

Looking to maximize efficiency while minimizing shipping costs? Keen on shrinking your company's and clients' carbon footprint? Concerned about the complexities of transporting hazardous liquid materials? Picture this: You're tasked with moving a three-hundred-gallon tote of corrosives to the twelfth floor of an office building. Or perhaps you've encountered the challenge of maneuvering a two-hundred-pound tote across pristine mahogany floors, all while hoping against leaks on the way to the cooling tower. If these scenarios resonate with you, our latest episode is a must-listen! Join us as Blaine Nagao, CWT, Senior Director of Smart Release Technology at Dober, answers a multitude of questions about how solid technology works and how it differs from liquid technology. Blaine debunks old misconceptions about solid technologies. Learn how to match the right equipment with the products you're using and gain insight into controlling as many variables as possible upfront by adopting solid technology. Discover how solid technology can eliminate the need for hefty shipping fees, significantly reduce your carbon footprint, and save money for both your company and your clients. Tune in for an educational, insightful, and positive discussion that could revolutionize your bottom line. Understanding the Formula for Cost Savings with Solid Chemistry Technology Blaine explains that the cost savings from using solid chemistry technology come from several key areas: Reduced Shipping Costs Decreased Storage Space Requirements Lower Risk of Spills and Accidents Let's break these down: Reduced Shipping Costs Solid chemistry products are more concentrated than their liquid counterparts. This means you can ship smaller quantities, which reduces the overall shipping cost. For example:  - Liquid product: 100 gallons (heavy, requires special handling) -  Solid product: Equivalent treatment power in a smaller, lighter package Decreased Storage Space Requirements Solid products take up less space than liquid ones, meaning you can store more product in the same amount of space. This can lead to lower storage costs, especially in facilities where space is at a premium. Lower Risk of Spills and Accidents Handling liquids, especially hazardous ones, carries a significant risk of spills and accidents, which can be costly. Solids minimize this risk, leading to fewer incidents and lower associated costs. Blaine's Formula Blaine suggests considering the total cost of ownership rather than just the upfront cost. The formula he uses involves calculating the savings in the following areas: Total Savings = Savings in Shipping + Savings in Storage + Savings in Risk Management Let's put some hypothetical numbers into this formula to illustrate: Savings in Shipping: $500 per shipment Savings in Storage: $100 per month Savings in Risk Management: $150 per month Assuming these savings over a year: Annual Savings = ($500 times 12) + ($100 times 12) + ($150 times 12) Annual Savings = $6,000 + $1,200 + $1,800 Annual Savings = $9,000 By switching to solid chemistry technology, the company could potentially save $9,000 annually. This example illustrates how the cumulative savings in different areas add up to significant cost reductions.   Summary Solid chemistry technology offers significant cost savings by reducing shipping costs, storage space requirements, and risks associated with spills and accidents. By focusing on the total cost of ownership, as Blaine suggests, companies can see the broader financial benefits of transitioning to solid chemistry solutions.   Timestamps 01:00 - Trace Blackmore asks you to share your future podcast show ideas with us by filling out the Submit a Show Idea form 03:15 - Come to The Hang on July 11th, a free online opportunity to connect with other water professionals 10:10 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals  12:30 - Get to know Blaine Nagao, CWT 20:00 - Interview on Solid Technology 1:00:00 - Drop by Drop With James McDonald    Quotes “Solid chemistry is good chemistry.” - Blaine Nagao  “Ask too many questions because the devil is in the details to find the right solution for your client.” - Blaine Nagao “With water, you always need to think about Murphy's Law - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” - Blaine Nagao  “Pick the equipment that works, not the one that looks pretty.

When we think of smart fabrics, we often think of fabrics with sensors inside them meant to monitor our body's activity or temperature, but not all innovations in fabrication are digital. In fact, most of the time they're chemical. Today's guest on the Electric Runway Podcast is Fi Paziana, a Milan-based ex-investment banker-turned fashion designer who is launching her debut collection featuring a patented, lab-verified smart fabric. This fabric acts as a filter, protecting the sun from harmful UV rays while still allowing UVB rays through in order for the body to produce Vitamin D. This fabric is a breakthrough when you consider that one billion people worldwide suffer from a deficiency of Vitamin D. Fi is on a mission via social media, with her 2.5 million views on TikTok, to help correct it, starting in the realm of modest fashion.LinksSign up for Electric Runway on Substack to never miss an update: https://electricrunwayreport.substack.com/Visit Electric Runway: http://electricrunway.com/More podcast episodes: https://electricrunway.com/the-podcast/Subscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/15F6eMSFReREEp8fVgNA0L?si=62e6b01855c643acSubscribe to the Electric Runway podcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/electric-runway-podcast/id1064514329Follow Electric Runway on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/electric_runway/Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/electricrunway?sub_confirmation=1Follow Electric Runway on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Electric_RunwayAmanda Cosco Social Links:Follow Amanda Cosco on Twitter: https://twitter.com/amanda_coscoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda_cosco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandacoscoGuest Links:Fi Milano on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fi.milano

They are calling it a hormone revolution.  With almost half of Canadian women between the ages of 40 and 60, there are just a few of us (myself included) who are embarking on a hormonal transition that few know anything about.  In today's episode, I clear up what is related to your hormones after 40 (and what isn't) and what is happening to your body during each transition stage (yes there is more than one stage!).  In this episode we cover:  The “stages” of perimenopause What is happening hormonally in your body, and why you feel the way you feel.  What testing makes sense, and what you shouldn't waste your money on.  Why feeling better in this stage of life is vital to your future health and the health of our communities.  Today's podcast episode is sponsored by Smart Solutions. I've worked with Smart Solutions as an educator for two years and am encouraged by their continued dedication to providing evidence-based products and solutions to women to support their health needs.   Perimenopause and menopause can leave women feeling confused, overwhelmed, and stressed about their hormones. That's why it's important to have practical solutions to stop symptoms from getting in the way of their day. Smart Solutions offers products that contain ingredients, like chaste tree and sage to help ease the symptoms in perimenopause and hot flashes in menopause. Other ingredients, like ashwagandha and Rhodiola, are offered by Smart Solutions to help ease stress so women can focus on the important things in life.   Use my promo code JORDAN10 at checkout for your next order at smartsolutions.com to receive 10% off your order.
