The costs of operating big science facilities, for example accelerators, are very large and facilities should at the same time be environmentally sustainable. The presentation will exemplify what the ESS project has done to design in sustainability in the project, and how this works in practice. We will cover what strategies are employed for sustainability and ESS ongoing and future work in...
DESY has a broad approach for sustainability and this ansatz is also being chosen for the upgrade of PETRA. In the PETRA IV project the focus is on energy efficiency. Optimisation of temperatures, waste heat usage and reduction of traveling are only some examples.
One of the highest energy consumers are the magnets. In order to save energy and space, the decision is made to use permanent...
The ISIS-II Neutron and Muon Source is the next generation of, and successor to, the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom. Proposed to begin construction sometime after 2030, ISIS-II will have the rare yet exciting opportunity to embed environmental sustainability into the early stages of the design process. One instance of this is to...
Nowadays, many fundamental scientific findings are obtained with the help of large-scale equipment. Particle accelerators for high-energy and high-intensity heavy-ion beams play a special role as key infrastructures for fundamental science, e.g. for the ambitious superheavy element program and for application-oriented research, including projects in material and life sciences. Innovative...
The last update to the European Strategy for Particle Physics highlighted the need to factor sustainability aspects into the decision process of large future projects in particle physics. Recently the European Laboratory Directors Group (LDG) of European Laboratories with a strong interest in particle physics decided to setup a working group that will define guidelines on how this assessment...
