Правительство утвердило актуализированную редакцию Стратегии в области цифровой трансформации в сфере госуправления до 2030 года. Её ключевыми направлениями стали автоматизация административных процессов, внедрение и применение искусственного интеллекта. Документ PDF 709Kb Распоряжение от 9 июля 2026 года №1779-р На сегодняшний день Правительством ведётся системная работа по оптимизации бюрократических процедур за счёт внедрения цифровых технологий, в том числе в документообороте. Ключевым результатом является сокращение количества документов на 10% и согласований – на 8%, а также уменьшение объёма ручного ввода данных на 42% по оптимизированным процессам. Также за последние 5 лет среднее время согласования документов сократилось втрое, и теперь составляет один день, а срок выпуска нормативных актов уменьшился в 48 раз – до 15 минут. В марте 2026 года также был запущен пилотный проект по внедрению ИИ-сервисов на площадке Аппарата Правительства. Участие в нём приняли более 130 сотрудников из 8 пилотных структурных подразделений. По итогам пилота принято решение о масштабировании ИИ-сервисов на все структурные подразделения Аппарата, а также об интеграции технологий искусственного интеллекта в систему электронного документооборота. Кроме того, началась работа по размещению протестированных ИИ-сервисов на площадке ГАС «Управление» для их использования ФОИВ и регионами.

As AI Factory deployments accelerate, infrastructure requirements are rapidly expanding beyond conventional data centers toward industrial-scale environments. Leveraging its expertise in power systems, cooling technologies, and industrial engineering, MHI is advancing an integrated AI infrastructure portfolio that combines advanced cooling, modular systems, and power technologies to support this transition. To address increasing power and cooling challenges for scaling of AI-ready data center infrastructure, MHI has shipped its 10MW-class centrifugal chiller test unit to the United States, supporting next-generation high-density AI workloads with arrival scheduled at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia around July. The shipment marks an important commercialization milestone in MHI's integrated AI infrastructure strategy. As part of this strategy, MHI is advancing its Modular Chiller Plant (MCP), a pre-engineered cooling system that integrates MHI's centrifugal chiller as its core cooling component together with pumps, heat exchangers, and controls into a modular architecture. The MCP is designed to support NVIDIA DSX™-aligned cooling architectures and scalable liquid-cooled AI deployments while simplifying deployment and enabling scalable expansion. MHI's MCP architecture enables effective utilization of free-cooling operation modes and improved Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), while its closed-loop configuration addresses growing concerns around water scarcity and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) in large-scale data centers. MCP is currently undergoing U.S. safety and regulatory certification, including UL certification, with shipment of the centrifugal chiller contributing to certification readiness ahead of commercial deployment. Designed to reduce onsite integration requirements and support future growth, MCP helps hyperscale, colocation, and AI infrastructure operators efficiently manage cooling as computing densities continue to increase. Delivering AI factories at scale requires close collaboration across compute, power, and cooling. NVIDIA DSX is NVIDIA's AI factory-scale platform, unifying design, simulation, operations, and ecosystem technologies. Supporting this strategy, MHI participates in the NVIDIA Partner Network as a Power & Cooling Partner and works with NVIDIA and ecosystem partners to advance integrated power and cooling technologies for NVIDIA DSX. MHI's expertise in energy, engineering, and industrial infrastructure systems underpins these solutions. The centrifugal chiller is based on proven technology with a strong track record in mission-critical applications, while MHI's advanced power initiatives, including 800VDC, are built on decades of experience in large-scale power infrastructure and transportation systems, and are developed in collaboration with ecosystem partners. "AI growth is driving a step-change in infrastructure scale and complexity," said Shin Gomi, Senior General Manager, Data Center & Energy Management, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. "By combining advanced cooling technologies, modular design, and industrial engineering expertise with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, MHI is helping enable the scalable, reliable, and energy-efficient AI infrastructure." "AI factories require compute, power, and cooling to be designed as one system. NVIDIA DSX provides the platform for that system-level approach. MHI's work in large-scale cooling and 800 VDC power infrastructure can help ecosystem partners build more scalable and energy-efficient AI factories," said Vladimir Troy, Vice President of AI infrastructure at NVIDIA. Looking ahead, MHI continues to expand its integrated AI infrastructure portfolio through technology investments that support the evolving requirements of AI Factory and high-density computing environments.

For the average citizen, Algae is often viewed as a problematic growth, sometimes found in backyard swimming pools and in-home fish tanks. These environments are constantly trying to eliminate and prevent algae formation. On the other hand, algae today in greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts and biofuel production via algae growth are significant; where algae support environmental improvement (via CO2 sequestration) and supports biofuels, which should be among the most acute demands of our time. Coincidentally, with restrictions on fossil fuels in the Middle East; this is ever more critical than before. In addition to ethanol projects today, the electric utility sector has tested the injection of hot flue gas from coal and gas fired power plants, with the potential for carbon sequestration. Certain blue-green algae can grow in an environment with hot flue gas from such power or chemical projects. Via photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are basic requirements for algae growth, and oxygen plus water vapor are by-products from this process. The algae also can absorb SOx and NOx; two compounds which cause acid rain. The algae process from power, combustion, and other chemical projects including ethanol are therefore a means of sequestering carbon, plus, in some cases, other environmentally harmful agents, with an energy source feedstock in the form of algae generated; which could be used for both ethanol and biodiesel projects. As for ethanol and biodiesel, when a full loop or cycle is considered, whereby ethanol yields CO2 as a by-product, and this CO2 is then used in algae growth, from this point, algae can be used in the manufacture of biodiesel and/or a feedstock for fermentation as ethanol; conceivably a cycle is then generated; that being a cycle using CO2 from ethanol and other CO2 sources for production of algae; and this algae returning as a feedstock for ethanol or as a feedstock in biodiesel projects. The algae growth is a CO2 sink, or form of sequestering carbon; thus, it is extremely important today, as would be generating a viable, highly efficient form of plant oil from algae. Algae could be considered the most viable oil source available, growing more rapidly than any other material. Please see illustration 1 for the CO2 an algae sourcing concepts for biodiesel and ethanol production. As a rule of thumb, approximately one ton of carbon dioxide would be removed (from otherwise airborne emissions) via the growth of two tons of algae. Carbon Dioxide – Gross Yield, Markets, and Ethanol Merchant Carbon dioxide is well known as a soft drink carbonation agent, a cryogenic fluid, and an industrial gas consumed in foundries, to name a few. Globally, there is an estimated 25 million tons of total CO2 emissions daily absorbed by the oceans, leaving a gross 50 million tons in excess, beyond the ocean’s ability to take on this gas as a natural process, again this is on a daily schedule, all produced from industrial and biological processes. This is primarily power plant, flue gas & chemical by-product; to follow with a wide range of other processes daily. This total 50 million tons of carbon dioxide in excess each day is growing at an astronomical rate, from an emissions perspective. Next is the question of growing energy demand. The U.S. has a dire need to become green energy independent, as well as other continents and countries throughout the globe. Even in markets which are oil rich, CO2 sinks must be established which are of a viable nature, v. those which are not true sequestration methods, such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and class VI wells. Therefore, using CO2 from ethanol sources as an ingredient for algae growth, is an excellent CO2 sink, since algae oil can then be used to produce biodiesel. Some 40% of the U.S. merchant CO2 is sourced from ethanol v. other sources in the United States. The U.S. Midwest is today well satisfied with merchant CO2 from ethanol, assuming all current CO2 from ethanol sources continue. Other regions of the US and various global markets are also candidates for CO2 from ethanol; that being for merchant use. As for algae use, all regions are wide open when ethanol and CO2 emitting sources exist. The ethanol markets in the US and Brazil essentially equal each other in terms of volume, however, corn-based ethanol sources run year-round v. those sourced from sugar cane, as found in Brazil. The problem with the sources in Brazil, if dedicating these sources to the algae production, a chemical process, or the merchant markets, yield a void period due to the timing associated with sugarcane crops as well as the lack of a viable means for storage of sugarcane v. corn. At one time, and in error, corn gained a negative reputation in terms of creating food shortages and high food prices; which is not correct; evermore in today’s world. Since most of the corn is dedicated to markets other than ethanol, those concerned about grain use as a feedstock sometimes sought alternate feedstocks, such as algae. Ethanol is one of today’s hopes to become green energy independent in the U.S., and elsewhere; and the drive in some markets to increase the gasoline blend to E-15, only makes sense. Biodiesel growth, Feedstock Yield & Projects Algae have basic requirements for growth, including CO2, water, nutrients, and sunlight. CO2 is a major by-product of ethanol production. Algae can serve as a feedstock for biodiesel and ethanol. The discussion surrounding this article surrounds the biodiesel sector, where on the front end, CO2 is one ingredient for growth of algae; and algae is then discussed as perhaps the ultimate source of plant-based oil for biodiesel. It is also well known that algae can flourish in otherwise hostile growing environments, including non-arable land, or in dirty water. When algae flourishes, it is unmatched by any terrestrial feedstock known. Algae can double in mass several times daily. In the United States, Iowa and Texas have traditionally been the largest producers of biodiesel; with a total of 11 plants or so; with a newfound interest in SAF. Of course, B100 as 100% biodiesel is more expensive than diesel; so the most common form of biodiesel is 20% by volume, or B20 more commonly known. With respect to estimating the number of U.S. gallons of biodiesel produced from a variety of feedstock materials, algae is often considered the highest in efficiency when compared to a variety of other materials, for example, table 1 below has estimates which are defined in terms of gallons of biodiesel per acre (gpa). Table 1 – feedstock yield from acreage of crop source CROP YIELD – gpa Algae 1,800 to 15,000 Tallow, Chinese 503 to 970 Palm Oil 508 Coconut 230 Rapeseed 102 Soy 59.2 to 98.6 Peanut 90 Sunflower 82 The DOE has estimated that algae fuel can yield up to 30 times more energy per acre than land crops such as soybean. A growing consensus suggests that biodiesel produced from algae is the only feasible solution today for replacement in full of petro-diesel products. No other feedstock has the oil yield sufficient in volume to produce such large volumes of oil. To illustrate this point, in order to produce sufficient oil for biodiesel from crops such as soy or palm, all growing regions for all of today’s crops would have to produce simply soy (for example) to yield sufficient biodiesel for full replacement v. producing a mix of biofuel the ideal algae strains and food dedicated products. Given the high oil yield from algae, from 10 to 45 million acres would be sufficient, as land, pond, or ocean space, to grow enough algae to replace the total petro- diesel fuel in the United States today.

CEO and Founder, Tom Rose, holding ReVentas virgin-like recycled film © Reventas ReVentas, a Scottish start-up pioneering a new type of plastic recycling, has been awarded £3.5m grant funding from Scottish Enterprise to support the development of their solvent based recycling technology over the next three years. The funding, awarded as part of a £9m project, will help ReVentas further develop its proprietary recycling technology, with a particular focus on difficult to recycle plastics such as films found in food packaging. These materials remain one of the biggest challenges in plastic recycling today and will become an increasing priority for councils from 2028 onwards as requirements to collect and process films expands across the UK. ReVentas’ patented dissolution recycling technology uses a chemical solvent to rapidly dissolve waste plastics, filtering the polymer of contaminants including colour and odour, and producing a natural, virgin-like polymer that can be directly used in high value applications such as packaging, automotive and consumer products. The technology operates at low temperatures and pressures, reducing both process cost and carbon footprint, providing a sustainable route to recycling plastics at scale. ReVentas recently signed an engineering and licensing alliance agreement with global engineering company KBR to support the roll out of the technology globally. The Scottish Enterprise backed project will accelerate ReVentas ambition to take its technology closer to commercial deployment by expanding their pilot plant facility in Livingston to handle more complex plastic waste streams. CEO and Founder of ReVentas, Tom Rose, said: “Plastics are essential to every part of our lives, but we have not yet delivered workable solutions to deal with them at the end of life. ReVentas is providing a simple, scalable solution that can ensure the waste plastic we produce today are directly used in the products we buy tomorrow. “By continuing to develop our technology in Scotland, ReVentas can impactfully contribute to Scotland’s important net zero and circular economy goals.” Nicola Anderson, Director of Scaling Innovation at Scottish Enterprise, said: “ReVentas is developing pioneering recycling technology that has the potential to transform how valuable materials are recovered and reused, supporting Scotland’s transition to a more sustainable, circular economy. By turning cutting-edge innovation into commercial opportunity, the company is creating high-quality green jobs, attracting investment and strengthening Scotland’s position as a leader in clean technologies. “We are proud to have supported ReVentas throughout its growth journey. Over several years, Scottish Enterprise has worked alongside the company to secure international funding, develop a robust intellectual property strategy and unlock the investment needed to scale. More recently, our £2 million investment and this R&D grant are helping accelerate the development and commercialisation of technology with significant global potential. “ReVentas is a fantastic example of Scottish innovation delivering economic, environmental and social value. We look forward to continuing our partnership as the business grows internationally, creates new opportunities for Scotland and helps address some of the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.” About ReVentas ReVentas is a Scottish recycling technology company based in Livingston, developing a patented solvent based recycling technology for polyethylene and polypropylene, the two most common plastics in use today.

PRESS RELEASE UN Forum concludes with renewed commitment to accelerate action on the Sustainable Development Goals NEW YORK, 15 July 2026–The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) concluded this week with the adoption of a ministerial declaration, signaling a renewed commitment by countries to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). “With less than five years remaining until 2030, the challenge before us is not simply to move faster. It is to work differently. It is to work collectively. It is to work with resolve,” said H.E. Mr. Lok Bahadur Thapa, President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). “Implementation can no longer be approached with one Goal, one sector, or one institution at a time. It requires policies that are integrated. It requires partnerships that are stronger. And it requires international cooperation that is more effective.” Held from 7 to 15 July under the auspices of ECOSOC, the Forum brought together more than 4,000 daily participants, including governments, business leaders, civil society organizations, youth, scientists, United Nations entities and other stakeholders, to showcase innovative solutions, exchange experiences and strengthen partnerships to accelerate SDG progress. The Forum conducted in-depth reviews of SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), highlighting integrated approaches to advancing these Goals while accelerating progress across the entire 2030 Agenda. “Even in these times of division, multilateralism continues to deliver results,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. “From the Pact for the Future to the Sevilla Commitment, the Doha Political Declaration, the High Seas Treaty, and the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States, countries have demonstrated that cooperation is possible.” “Moreover, the steady progress we are making in data and measurement is providing a much stronger evidence base to help countries better target their development efforts,” Mr. Guterres said. “The Sustainable Development Goals Summit, to be held next year, will provide a critical opportunity to build on this momentum and mobilize the leadership, financing and solidarity needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals,” he stressed. The SDGs deliver: Now the world must urgently scale up what works Currently, only 36 per cent of assessable SDG targets are on track or making moderate progress, according to The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2026, launched on 7 July 2026. While progress toward the Goals continues to face significant headwinds, including escalating conflict, economic uncertainty and the intensifying climate crisis, the report also highlights encouraging gains. Key achievements since 2015 include: Nearly 1 billion people gained access to safely managed drinking water. The global unemployment rate declined to a record low of 4.9 per cent in 2025. 92 per cent of the world’s population gained access to electricity, with one-third supplied by renewable energy sources. Global internet access increased from 40 per cent to 74 per cent of the population. A significant decline in AIDS-related deaths, with fatalities falling by 35 per cent. The report emphasizes that the SDGs remain the world’s shared blueprint for peace, prosperity, and sustainability and must be urgently returned to the centre of global decision-making. It identifies the priority actions needed to accelerate progress, including increased investment, stronger international cooperation, expanded access to technology and data, a faster energy transition, greater gender equality, and renewed commitments to peace. Voluntary National Reviews Thirty-six countries presented their Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) at the Forum, highlighting actions they have taken to achieve the SDGs. This brings to 437 the number of reviews conducted since 2016 by 190 countries and the European. A snapshot of countries’ reporting on progress this year: Algeria: Developed a comprehensive “education-to-employment ecosystem” to align vocational training and higher education directly with modern labour market needs. Burundi: Established dedicated banks for young people and women specifically to finance their own economic empowerment and entrepreneurial projects. Cameroon: Strengthened the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem by expanding Internet access and supporting local start-ups as part of its structural economic transformation. Egypt: Launched the first voluntary carbon market in Africa in 2024 to advance climate finance and green investment. Gabon: Professionalized local maintenance and expanded solar-powered wells to ensure universal water access despite paradoxical shortages in some regions. Guinea-Bissau: Integrated climate resilience and multi-year spending targets into a programme-based budget for the first time in the country’s history. Italy: Conducted the first-ever “youth voluntary review,” directly incorporating the views and assessments of children and young people into the national reporting process. Jordan: Initiated a massive national water conveyance project designed to desalinate and transport 300 million cubic metres of water annually to combat extreme scarcity.

BRUSSELS — Three letters are about to dominate policy debates in the European Union. Best get familiar with them. This Friday, the European Commission will sketch out the future of the Emissions Trading System, or ETS, its most powerful tool to reduce the bloc’s contribution to global warming. The reform proposal will kick off months of squabbling among leaders and lawmakers, accompanied by ferocious lobbying from industry and campaigners, as they dissect and amend the plans. Advertisement The outcome will determine the path forward for Europe’s heavy industry, shaping decades of investments, and for the bloc’s efforts to cut planet-warming pollution. That’s because the ETS regulates the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, mostly factories and power plants, by turning carbon dioxide into an expense companies want to avoid.
