M-RETS

M-RETS is excited to be a new Ammonia Energy Association member and our CEO Benjamin Gerber is presenting on global certification processes and standards this afternoon at their annual conference. This is a global industry group looking to decarbonize a critical commodity with many existing and potential applications.

👏 👏👏MAKE SURE you check out the proposed updates to the EPA’s Green Power Partnership which is open for comment. Some of these are major! Here are the major takeaways👏👏👏: New Program Metrics: ⚡Annual Green Power Use Metric (Required)  🌎 Location Matching Metric (Optional)  🕰 Time Matching Metric (Optional)  📈 Emissions Balance Metric (Optional)  🆕 Incremental Capacity Metric (Optional) Other Updates 💡 Eligible resource definition (new nuclear) 💡Eligible “new” date for generating sources  💡New pilot initiative to recognize green power purchases serving electricity demand of sold products (Scope 3, Category 11)  💡Changes to EPA Green Power Communities Initiative 

Inspiring morning! Learning, laughing, & playing Catan New Energies w/ Verge conference attendees & speakers including Guido Teuber, Jane McGonigal, Saul Griffith, Nicole Kelner, Nathan Cummins, & Jesse Puckett. 🐑🎲🐑🎲😄 Thank you Sarah Golden & Trellis Group team! Thank you Kevin Hovdestad & CATAN Studio team! 🙏 #SocialLicense #DeployDeployDeploy

Congratulations to Zachary Zweifler and the PurposeEnergy team for this achievement. Great to see other Industrious Minneapolis contributing to decarbonization. PurposeEnergy – Middlebury is the state’s first food waste to renewable electricity project awarded under the Vermont Public Utility Commission’s Standard Offer Program. Designed to accommodate the high-strength organic waste from food and beverage manufacturers in the Middlebury Industrial Park, the facility can also accept a wide variety of trucked organic waste from other Vermont businesses. As permitted, the plant can process 100,000 gallons of high-strength organics per day into clean water, renewable electricity, and natural fertilizer.

Tracking clean electrons and clean molecules through our decarbonized economy is what we do at M-RETS, and I will say it until you are sick of hearing it. M-RETS welcomes this S&P Global report with support fromCoalition for Renewable Natural Gas, European Biogas Association, ERGaR European Renewable Gas Registry aisbl, and Eurogas supporting the work registries like M-RETS are doing to support biomethane/biogas/RNG certificate schemes. "The report demonstrates that there is a solidly regulated biomethane/RNG market in Europe and the US, which provides sustainability, guarantees and transparency; plays an increasingly important role in achieving GHG emissions reductions targets; and supports the economics of new production capacity development."

Important new research on the impact of RECs. Thanks to Center for Resource Solutions for summarizing key points. "The research is undergoing peer review, with a working draft summarizing six key themes: ⚡ Voluntary RECs drive renewable energy deployment ⚡REC revenues are critical for deployment ⚡REC prices are a poor proxy of impact ⚡Voluntary demand for RECs underpins voluntary demand for renewable power ⚡Voluntary demand is not easily replaced ⚡Unbundled RECs have indirect impacts on deployment" https://lnkd.in/gQqn8DAf

Thank you to US Solar, Lupulin Brewing LLC, Cannon Valley Graziers, and The Food Group for hosting an amazing solar farm agrivoltaic dinner. We had a nice group from M-RETS present to witness the power—no pun intended—of merging clean energy and sustainable agricultural practices.

The M-RETS team is on a continuous learning journey and exploring local renewable energy generators to help further a full staff understanding of the existing and possible new markets our software can support.

Fantastic start to sold-out Renewable Energy Markets conference. 😃 Love that conference snacks (Clif Bar 👀) include clean energy as an ingredient. 😋 These Clif Bars highlight dual-use and pollinator-friendly solar. Benjamin Gerber & M-RETS team is here.
