SR Inc is thrilled to share a case study on our collaboration with Akamai Technologies, Quantum Energy, Inc., and REsurety, Inc. in response to the Science Based Targets initiative's (SBTi) Call for Evidence on Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs). 🔗 Case Study Highlights: Discover how SR Inc and Akamai, including Director of Corporate Sustainability and ESG Officer Mike Mattera, along with data partners Quantum Energy and REsurety, collaborated to showcase the effectiveness of Purchaser Caused EACs in achieving corporate climate targets. Our joint submission to the SBTi provides evidence-backed insights into Purchaser Caused EACs, shedding light on their economic, public health, and ecosystem benefits. 🌱 Purchaser Caused EACs: Explore SR Inc’s commitment to facilitating the procurement of EACs that represent tangible investment in grid decarbonization. The Purchaser Caused tag for EACs certifies a company's contribution to creating new renewable energy capacity. 🌐 Market-Based Mechanisms in Action: Delve into the details of Akamai's 18MW offtake from the Azure Sky wind project in Texas. SR Inc’s Net Zero Consortium for Buyers (NZCB) facilitated Akamai’s offtake in this buyer-aggregated VPPA. 📈 Data-Driven Insights: Explore the impactful analyses conducted by Quantum Energy and REsurety, leveraging their respective AI-driven energy modeling and Locational Marginal Emissions (LME) tools. The results showcase avoided emissions brought about by Akamai's commitment to new renewable energy, as well as demonstrate how Purchaser Caused EACs can drive quantifiable public health, ecosystem, and economic benefits. 🌍 Accelerating the Energy Transition: The availability of Purchaser Caused EACs in climate markets, as demonstrated by this submission, can play a pivotal role in driving impactful climate solutions. The VPPAs facilitated by SR Inc's NZCB empower businesses to signal their demand for new renewable energy, contributing to our needed collective response to human-caused climate breakdown. 🌟 Innovative Collaborations for Sustainability Leadership: The collaborative efforts exemplified in SR Inc and Akamai's response to the SBTi Call for Evidence, along with Quantum Energy and REsurety’s innovative tools, are instrumental in driving towards sustainability leadership and helping accelerate the energy transition. https://lnkd.in/efXqnjbp

Progressive ranchers are putting a dent in the 355,000 deaths related to burning fossil fuels in the U.S. A recent study from Harvard found that the particulate matter emissions from burning #fossilfuels were killing 8.7 million people per year, 355,000 of which in the U.S.  Around 2.8 million people die per year in U.S., so if that study is accurate, we’re talking about 1 in 8 deaths in the U.S.   A group of progressive ranchers in Arizona are putting a dent in those deaths. They leased a portion of their land to six energy developers who are developing the largest #wind and #solar project in the U.S. Part of the project has been permitted, the other half is in the process.  Like in many areas, nimbyism and opposition to clean energy are stalling and threatening the permitting process. An unfortunate statistic is that ~79% of renewable energy projects in the US die in a permitting or interconnection queue, and this is at a time when we need to deploy clean energy faster than ever. These progressive ranchers hired Quantum Energy, Inc. to simulate the avoided emissions and impacts to public health, ecosystems and the economy of their project. Two weeks ago, we presented the results to the energy developers, utilities, state and federal agencies involved. The results? If fully developed, the project would save nearly 10,000 years of life (this is like 2,000 people getting an extra five years of life) in it’s first year of operation, along with saving 10+ local species and bring $1.8 billion in economic benefits. The response? The permitting officials said this was exactly the data-driven evidence they needed to justify their decisions. Corporate, government and utility decision-makers have lacked insight into the #publichealth and #ecosystem impacts of their energy decisions for too long. Why? Current tools require terabytes of data, years of analysis and teams of experts to use. That’s why we developed the TotalView Energy Platform. A platform that puts the public health, ecosystem and economic impacts of energy decisions at the fingertips of analysts and decision-makers. Above is a picture of us signing a blade of the wind farm with the ranchers, who just might be the most progressive #landowners in the country. We have a few more pilot projects available subsidized by the National Science Foundation. Interested? Join our free beta: https://lnkd.in/gJbdNhRS Let’s put a dent in those deaths.
