Speaker
Description
In this talk I will present several initiatives taken by European synchrotron sources towards a more sustainable operation in line with the recommendations of ESFRI report on energy and supply challenges of research infrastructures.
Examples will cover the optimization and reduction in electric power consumption. I will in particular discuss the use of permanent magnets in storage rings as well as the use of photovoltaic panels to reduce the dependence on external suppliers.
I will also describe efforts towards a more sustainable use of water and cryogenic fluids.
More generally, some figures will be given regarding the carbon footprint of research infrastructures.
A quantitative discussion of the gains that can be achieved following best practices will be given.
