How Alobees became the Easiest and Most Efficient Tool for Construction Site and Crew Management? 🐝 💡 In 2017, a talented engineer named Erwan Baynaud had an idea to simplify the construction industry and began to develop it. A year later, he met Franck SOUSA, a flooring company owner struggling with crew management. ⏳ For a year, they collaborated to refine the application, adapting it to industry needs. With Franck’s 30 years of experience, they addressed common challenges, like mastering digital technology. Today, the process remains the same: Franck, leading sales and customer support, guides Erwan’s development teams on future updates based on field feedback. 🤝 Every day, Alobees evolves. 📈 Every day, Franck brings his expertise to our team. 👨‍🏫 Every day, we listen to users to understand their needs.👂 Alobees isn’t just another software built by engineers and developers (though we have talented ones, haha). It’s designed by contractors, for contractors. 👷

📢 France’s transmission electricity grid operator, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité, is stepping up investment sharply to transform a system designed for nuclear power in the 1980s into one that can accommodate more renewables and double its links with neighboring countries. 💰 RTE’s spending to improve the grid will jump at a 19% compound annual growth rate from 2023 to 2026, a steep increase compared to the 3% rate from 2019 through 2023, according to BNEF analysis of the company’s announcements. 💰💰💰 It also has proposed a 157% surge in spending on its next 15-year network development plan. A draft update of the plan, published earlier this year, includes a budget of €100 billion ($108 billion) for 2025-2040. That’s a major boost from the current budget for €39 billion from 2021-2035. The program is still out for public consultation, and BNEF expects the final version to be approved next year. 🔌 The French transmission grid is expanding to draw power from new offshore wind farms and cross-border interconnectors. France has committed to doubling its interconnector capacity to 30 gigawatts by 2035 from about 15GW now. This is to align with European interconnection targets of 15% of interconnection over installed generation capacity by 2030. 🍃 BNEF also expects that France will install 12GW of new offshore wind over the next 10 years, from 0.5GW today. However, it will still fall short of its 18GW target by 2035. 🧓 RTE is the sole transmission operator in France, managing the higher voltage networks. Its asset replacements represent 29% to 40% of the total transmission investment since 2019.

Explore or exploit, where’s your preference ? The balance between exploring (finding new), or improving on what’s already working (exploiting), is very tricky. Some 2% of all companies are able to both explore and exploit well at the same time. Doing either one too much, is usually a road towards crisis. As companies evolve into becoming more competent in what they are doing, they also evolve into less exploring. Worst case = we fall into a success-trap. If we have fallen into a success-trap, we are very likely to continue exploiting on our historical success. = We are so good at doing something we love doing…so we simply refuse to change… -         So, how to explore (and change) in time…before “a sudden crisis” forces us to ? (Note: there are usually no “sudden crisis” around…however there are plenty of success-traps). If you have 10 minutes one day, I can recommend the TED-link in the comments. And you know me by now…there has to be some reflection as well…here we go: -         Where’s your personal balance-preference between exploit and explore ? -         Regardless where you are on this scale…how does your preference affect your interaction with your colleagues ? #exploit #explore #balance /m ps. I also learned about Jyväskylä's coolest landmark today = Local Block. = A rag ball from Kangas papermill (painted in yellow this year). This ball has transformed from being exploited for many years in Kangas papermill, into nowadays being explored on Kauppakatu in Jyväskylä.

I am thrilled to share the latest white paper on the topic of water and green hydrogen, authored by my esteemed colleague Henrik Tækker Madsen, in collaboration with myself In this comprehensive study, we explore the potential of seawater as a sustainable source for green hydrogen production. Key questions we address include: - The advantages of using seawater for green hydrogen. - Comparative analysis of seawater vs. freshwater in terms of energy and resource consumption. - Essential design parameters for desalination processes targeting green hydrogen. - A comparison between thermal and membrane-based desalination methods. Currently, seawater is rarely used in green hydrogen projects, but with increasing project sizes and the water stress in various regions, this trend is poised to change. I am excited to delve deeper into these topics in future posts and discussions. For now, I invite you to read the full paper by following the link in the comments. #desalination #greenhydrogen #water #watertreatment #hydrogen

🌍 Europe CCUS: Will the North Sea Become Europe’s Only CO₂ Storage Option? 🌍 In the past few weeks, we’ve seen major milestones in the realm of carbon capture and storage (CCUS) from countries bordering the North Sea. 📌 The Northern Lights project in Norway announced the completion of its CO₂ receiving and storage facilities. 📌 The UK government has released £26 billion subvention to accelerate CCUS development. (article below) 📌 Meanwhile, Dutch projects like Porthos and Aramis continue to make strides toward large-scale CO₂ storage. It's incredible to see the North Sea emerging as a frontrunner in CO₂ storage at scale, positioning European oil and gas producers as key leaders in this space. But the question remains: Is the North Sea becoming Europe’s only viable CO₂ storage hub? Will countries like France or Germany develop their own storage capacities, or will they rely on these projects for their long-term CCUS strategies? What are your thoughts on North Sea becoming Europe’s Only CO₂ Storage Option? https://norlights.com/ https://lnkd.in/e-k-prwV https://lnkd.in/eAupcFCS

Bringing one of the best & balanced posts that I have seen in recent days which encompasses the reality aspect of why AI alone cannot shift you to 7th gear. The people, the underlying data , the digital op model - all these also would require the effort to shift from their current mode to buttress this new way of working - beyond smaller POCs- that will pave the path towards the real shift of traditional labor moving to digital labor. The sooner the IT ecosystem embraces that the better it would serve the purpose collectively to stay ahead in that direction.
