SUDBURY, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#USWWorks--Sudbury Steelworkers are looking to Vale to “walk the talk” at the bargaining table.
“Steelworkers are pleased to hear Vale’s positive tone and praise of its employees during its Chamber of Commerce presentation on March 23. This is great news for the region of Sudbury,” said Nick Larochelle, President of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 6500.

Otranto also commented extensively on how the outlook for nickel prices is positive, with increased demand worldwide for the metal’s use in electric vehicle batteries.
“We welcome seeing Vale’s positivity and we look forward to this openness being carried through to the bargaining table,” said Larochelle.
USW Local 6500, representing over 2,500 production and maintenance workers in mining, milling, smelting and refining at Vale’s Sudbury operations, will be bargaining for a new collective agreement. The unprecedented one-year agreement is set to expire May 31, 2021.

USW Local 6500 welcomes Vale’s Copper Cliff South Mine expansion and looks forward to continuing to contribute the skills of its members long into the future. The union will continue working with Vale to unlock the region’s undeveloped rich ore reserves including Victor mine.
“When the company says: ‘Let’s start the dialogue,’ workers hear that, too. We are seeking a new deal that recognizes the long, rich and proud history of the Steelworkers as partners in Vale’s success – now and into the future,” said Larochelle.

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Horizon Discovery, a PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE:PKI) company, today announced that its gene editing and modulation portfolio is expanding to include a new family of CRISPR modulation (CRISPRmod) reagents for CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). CRISPRi enables scientists to better understand the biological pathways, processes and pathologies of disease by repressing genes at the transcriptional level, ultimately leading to new therapeutic approaches.
The new reagents include the first-ever commercially available synthetic single guide RNAs for CRISPRi, as well as a patent-pending, dCas9-SALL1-SDS3 repressor available in mRNA and lentiviral formats. With these new technologies, researchers will have the flexibility to repress genes in almost all cell lines, over any length of time, and at any scale from single gene readouts to high-throughput studies.
The novel dCas9-SALL1-SDS3 repressor was developed following extensive research and has shown more robust and consistent gene modulation over a longer course of time compared to current-generation CRISPRi products.
Alan Fletcher, SVP Life Sciences at PerkinElmer said, “CRISPRi is gene knockdown, not knockout. It’s CRISPR without the cut, so it offers a temporary and nuanced approach which is ideal for researchers looking to mimic cellular effects of small molecule drugs or do multiplexed gene interrogation. By offering these new reagents, in addition to our existing CRISPR options, we’re primed to aid researchers in achieving even more exciting breakthroughs in the years ahead.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Pressure Vessel Composite Materials Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Material and End User" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
According to this report the global pressure vessel composite materials market was valued at US$ 758.36 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 3,539.95 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.4 % during 2020-2027. The report highlights key driving factors and prominent market players along with their developments in the market.
Pressure vessel composite materials are used in pressure vessels used to store gases and liquids under high pressure. A composite material is a combination of materials that vary in composition or shape on a macro scale. These materials do not dissolve or otherwise blend entirely into each other. Composite materials help boost efficiency of applications on which it is used and can deliver a large amount of material savings. Therefore, most of them are needed in various industries such as oil refineries, nuclear reactors, automobiles, gas repositories, and aerospace.
The chemicals industry is growing across the world due to the increasing consumption of goods such as fertilizers and other agrochemical products, coatings and adsorbents, LED lightings, plastics, and human-made fibers, and research laboratory chemicals. According to the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), the chemical industry was valued at US$ 5.7 trillion in 2019, which was equivalent to a 7% share in the global GDP. Also, the petrochemical industry is receiving a huge demand from various construction projects worldwide.
Pressure vessels are designed to work by reaching the pressure level required to make an application function, such as holding air in a scuba tank. It can deliver pressure either directly by valves and release gauges or indirectly via heat transfer. Potential pressure levels ranges from 15 psi to 150,000 psi, while temperatures are usually above 400C (750F). A pressure tank can hold anywhere from 75 liters (20 gallons) to many thousand liters. Pressure vessels are used in different industries, but chemical, oil & gas, and energy industry are the main industries.
The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. Lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdown measures are restricting the supplies of chemicals and materials products, which is causing a significant loss for pressure vessels composite materials manufacturers.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Hydropower Generation Market by Capacity, Medium Hydro Power Plant and Large Hydro Power Plant: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global hydropower generation market was valued at $202.4 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $317.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2020 to 2027.
Hydropower is the electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy. The hydropower generation is highly capital-intensive mode of electricity generation but being renewable source of energy with no consumables involved, there is very little recurring cost and hence no high long-term expenditure. It is cheaper as compared to electricity generated from coal and gas fired plants. It also reduces the financial losses due to frequency fluctuations and it is more reliable as it is inflation free due to no usage of fossil fuel.
The global hydropower generation market is primarily driven by the growing demand for reliable and continuous electricity from the industrial sector. Increase in supply-demand gap has been a prime concern for utilities which led to the significant investments toward the development of sustainable power generation sources including hydropower. Growing investments toward the replacement of traditional power generating technologies with advanced sustainable and clean solutions is expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, regulators across European Union has set target to reduce carbon emissions by 20.0% by 2020 from 1990 levels, by promoting the utilization of renewable resources such as hydropower.
However, requirement of high capital and operational expenditures, along with long gestation periods restrains the growth of the global hydropower generation market. Furthermore, growth in demand for renewable power and surge in hydropower install capacity across the developing economies such as China and India are expected to provide new growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
The global hydropower generation market size is segmented on the basis of capacity and region. Based on capacity, the market is fragmented into small hydro power plant (up to 1MW), medium hydro power plant (1MW-10MW), and large hydro power plant (above 10MW). Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
COVID-19 analysis:
The production of hydropower is expected to hamper during and after the lockdown due to halted development of hydro power projects due to non-availability of workers and limited liquidity. According to the UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), 30.0%-70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce working on development of hydro power projects has migrated back to their hometowns due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This non-availability or less availability of workforce will directly affect the annual production of hydropower due to halted development of power plants.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Biogas Plants - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global market for Biogas Plants is projected to reach US$ 6.8 billion by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 6.7% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027.
The severe impact of COVID-19 pandemic in areas with high level of air pollution has prompted the researcher community to explore the direct link between severity of the infection and air quality. Various scientists have indicated a perceived association between spread of the virus along with fatality rates and air pollution. Poor air quality adversely affects human health and leaves people susceptible to various infectious diseases including COVID-19.
In 2020, medical conditions associated with air pollution are estimated to claim around 7 million lives globally. Air pollution is a key contributor to various medical conditions including heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, respiratory infections and lung cancer. The impact of pollution on human health and the immune system makes can be hold responsible for severe COVID-19 symptoms experienced by a large number of people living in polluted areas.
For instance, Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, is one of the most polluted cities globally. In addition, a significant fraction of fatalities related to COVID-19 in Italy have been registered in areas with poor air quality. Moreover, the COVID-19 virus is carried by polluted air as it can stick to PM10 or PM25 particles to remain airborne for a long time. The fact indicates that areas with high concentration of particulate matter hold high risk of virus transmission.
These perceptions point towards effective measures to implement green options, including biogas, for reducing carbon emissions and air pollution levels. The production and utility of biogas, mainly bio-methane, improves air quality. Biogas presents an eco-friendly substitute to fossil fuels for generating heat and electricity, and supporting transportation.
Bio-methane presents an effective option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, which holds positive implications for human health. Cities and countries that have embraced clean air policies such as the use of biogas as transportation fuel are expected to witness less mortality, paving way for effective strategies to promote these sustainable options.
The wake of COVID-19 pandemic has provided countries with the unique opportunity for rebuilding on low-carbon, sustainability agendas for dealing with rising concerns over climate change. The scenario has prompted regions to shift away from fossil fuels towards green technologies, with Europe leading the pack in these endeavors.
The drive is likely to benefit sustainable options including wind, solar and hydrogen along with biogas that offers more than energy and holds potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 12% by the year 2030. The anaerobic digestion process intended to produce biogas involves treatment of organic waste that otherwise emits hazardous emissions in landfills. The approach converts the waste into green gas that can be exploited for transport, heat and power.
