There is also an in-depth interview with alternative fuel producer N+P Group and a look at how climate change regulation may impact strongly on those producers that have already taken steps to reduce their emissions. Outside of alternative fuels, there are technical articles on wear protection, belt analysers and lubricants, and a look at the cement plants of Libya, as well as all of the latest news.
