This week’s blog is the last one of year and we’ll be discussing the benefits of outsourcing your logistics and the advantages it can have for your business.

Storm Procurement are extremely pleased to announce we have been certified with IMS (Integrated Management System) ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

The construction industry, just like most other industries is adapting and considering making necessary changes to keep up with current trends as and when they emerge. Advancements in technology are gradually influencing the methods in which day to day operations run.

On a mine site you will find a variety of equipment that ensures the process runs smoothly. There are different mining operations that require specific mining techniques to efficiently extract the minerals, this impacts the types of equipment they require.

Hydrogen consists of a positively charged nucleus and a negatively charged electron, with the lowest atomic weight of any element. Under normal conditions, hydrogen is a colourless and odourless gas. So, what is a hydrogen energy you may ask.

We have previously discussed the methods being undertaken to increase sustainability within the industry. How we can work together and make use of resources we already have, before creating new products. Tyres and rubber tracks are widely used in the mining industry, so we know.

We have been mining since prehistoric times, earliest records show the oldest known mine is the Ngwenya Mine in Eswatini (Swaziland), dating back to around 43,000 years ago. We have extracted valuable minerals and metal resources from the earth to use for many different purposes.

The world is working towards a greener future, one of the methods undertaken to achieve this within the energy sector is the digitalisation of power grids, with a focus to both increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by 2030.

Last year we posted a blog to review the procurement trends of 2022, now that we’re halfway through 2023, it’s a great time to reflect on this year’s trends.

This generation is more aware than any before, of the importance, of working towards a more sustainable future. We have a greater understanding of the choices we make and the impact this has on the environment. Greener, more environmentally friendly options are being encouraged.

Oil plays a relevant and important role in the global economy, despite the efforts for alternative green energy sources. The price of oil is impacted like most other commodities by supply, and demand. This article explores the different ways in which oil prices can be impacted.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a machine’s ability to perform cognitive functions, usually associated with the human mind. It is defined when a machine can perform a task that previously would have been completed by human intelligence.

In our previous blogs we have discussed the united efforts that we must undertake to ensure we reverse climate damage. So, it is unsurprising that all responsible companies in many different sectors are considering the efforts they can make to do their part for the planet.

The global electric car fleet is rapidly expanding. Many car manufacturers are quickly producing electric vehicles (EV) to meet the growing demand. This increases the pressure for minerals whilst pushing up the prices and disrupting mining production.

Oil and Gas are the main industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global market. We rely on oil for transportation, heating and electricity, industrial production, and manufacturing. Gas fuels many industrial processes that produce materials and goods.

There are two main categories of modern mining: surface mining and underground mining. In surface mining, the ground is blasted to allow ore’s close to the Earth’s surface to be removed and extract the minerals.

Sustainability is fundamental for the planet; we must act now as we are responsible for not only our current needs but that of future generations.
