  • Managing energy responsibly: CERN is awarded ISO 50001 certification

    Managing energy responsibly: CERN is awarded ISO 50001 certification

    CERN’s accelerators are responsible for most of its energy consumption. As powerful research instruments, these machines make a unique scientific programme possible and support a global community of scientists. CERN makes every effort to run them in the most energy-efficient way possible. Powering CERN’s unique array of accelerators, detectors and infrastructure primarily needs electricity, which
