Hydrogen continues to attract attention in transport decarbonisation, but its role in day‑to‑day public transport operations is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. This article explores how public transport operators are weighing hydrogen against battery‑electric technologies - recognising its potential to address challenges around vehicle weight, refuelling time and grid constraints, while also grappling with infrastructure gaps, safety concerns and cost pressures.

Fugitive emissions remain one of the most persistent challenges in process industries. If you can’t measure them, you can’t improve them, but measurement alone isn’t enough. This time, we look at why valve packing degradation is a major contributor to VOC leakage, how regulatory pressure is accelerating change, and how advances in sealing technology are helping operators achieve sustained low-emissions performance. We also share practical insight from real-world applications, including the deployment of ISO 15848-1 certified packing systems designed to reduce maintenance and deliver consistent sealing under demanding conditions.

Reliable flow control is critical in LNG feed gas systems, yet many facilities still rely on legacy valve designs that struggle with fluctuating pressures, temperatures, and flow rates. In this article, we explore how advances in valve technology are helping LNG operators improve process stability, reduce flow-induced noise, and increase overall plant efficiency. From managing high pressure drops to mitigating noise and vibration, we look at how modern quarter-turn valves and multi‑stage pressure reduction technologies are performing in demanding LNG, refining, and industrial applications. Featuring real-world examples from LNG trains, refinery expansions, and high-demand pump testing, read the full article below ⬇️

Hydrogen has enormous potential, but large‑scale adoption is still held back by cost, infrastructure and uncertainty. The Road Ahead explores what’s often missing from the debate: the views of transport decision‑makers who are actively planning and operating hydrogen fleets across Europe. By understanding their priorities, concerns and investment drivers, the industry can start to remove real barriers to deployment.

We’ve officially opened our new manufacturing facility in Lake Forest, California - an important milestone for our Southern California team and for IMI. The purpose‑built site brings our office space and full‑scale manufacturing together under one roof, creating a modern environment designed for collaboration, precision and performance. From Lake Forest, we design, manufacture and service severe service control and isolation valves for customers operating in the oil and gas, power generation and nuclear sectors, where reliability and safety are non‑negotiable. Bringing our engineering, R&D and manufacturing teams closer together strengthens how we deliver critical solutions for some of the world’s most demanding applications. Sustainability has been embedded from the start, with an electrified building design, planned on‑site solar generation and manufacturing improvements that reduce emissions and environmental impact. This opening represents a significant investment in our people, our capabilities and our long‑term manufacturing footprint. You can read the full release on our website: https://lnkd.in/g_fNCeAY

Creating certainty in complex industrial operations starts with valve technologies proven in real service, not just at installation. IMI Th Jansen severe‑service valves are engineered alongside customers to deliver reliable isolation and flow control across energy, oil and gas, and petrochemical applications. Designed to perform under abrasive media, high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, they support predictable uptime, reduced maintenance and long‑term asset reliability.
