Brewing a brighter future: beer powered by the sun🌞🍻 The world is such that our favorite brands get their energy straight from the sun. It is not a fantasy anymore but it’s happening now. Just two years ago, Bavaria – most popular beer maker in Colombia – set an ambitious goal of producing all its beers using solar energy exclusively. Now this dream has become true. Featured brands like Aguila, Poker and Club Colombia are now made entirely on solar power after they partnered with Enel Green Power. This achievement does not only mean beer but also shows how we can align our plans with Mother Nature herself. Through renewable energy usage, Bayern indicates that creativity and commitment can help everyone play a part in keeping the world eco-friendly. In looking forward to the future, this serves as a strong reminder of how much control we hold over the destiny of energy. Every tiny progress towards renewable alternatives makes it possible to establish a sustainable planet where maintainability doesn’t have to be exceptional anymore. Let’s toast for #FutureWithMoreCheers while transforming our globe into something that runs on sunbeams! 🌞🍻 https://lnkd.in/eipMJkNp #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SolarPower

Belgium is home to more castles per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world. At VARO Energy, we see our partnerships with our customers as our castles - strong, enduring, and built to last. This was celebrated during our biennial customer event last week outside of Brussels.   It was energising spending time with our customers and institutional partners. Their support is the foundation of our success. Belgium represents an important part of our customer base, with almost a quarter of the Belgian fuel consumption distributed through our 8 VARO terminals in this geography. The event highlighted upcoming changes in the energy system through interactive sessions. Topics included forward-leaning perspectives on regulation, insights across the biofuels value chain, and strategies to electrify commercial fleets. Given Belgium's significant logistics sector - more commercial vehicles per capita than in other VARO countries (source: 2023 new vehicle registrations, ACEA) - e-mobility is poised to play a crucial role. Partnering means sharing insights, and it was rewarding to reinforce the strong relationships with our customers. We look forward to advancing the Energy Transition together. Many thanks to our customers and all VARO teams involved for their passion in making this a memorable event, including Olivier Vanbiervliet, Commercial Director BELUX, Monique Boers, Marketing & Communication Specialist, Sacha Konan, VP Commercial and President VARO Benelux & France, Marcel Andriessen, VP Biofuels, Sandor D., Sr. Business Development Manager EV, theo pannekeet, EVP New Energies and Innovation.

This week, our Mexico Country Head, Osvaldo Rance, participated in an insightful panel discussion with Mariuz Calvet (Chief Sustainability Officer of Santander México), Alejandro Malagón (President of CONCAMIN (CONFEDERACIÓN DE CÁMARAS INDUSTRIALES, MÉXICO)), and Carla M. (President of ASOLMEX) as part of Asociación Mexicana de Energía Solar (ASOLMEX)’s tenth anniversary celebrations. 🌞   The panel highlighted "Ilumínate, Sol para Todos," a circular economy program dedicated to creating a fair and inclusive energy transition by providing energy access to rural and indigenous communities across Mexico. Cubico is proud to have been an important and longstanding supporter and driver of the Illuminate initiative, managed by the fantastic team at PROYECTO CONCENTRARTE AC. This partnership has been instrumental in delivering over 700 solar kits to communities without access to electricity this year alone, lighting up homes and transforming lives. 💡   Cubico's commitment to these communities is evident not just in the provision of clean energy, but in our support for broader social initiatives. At the event, families benefiting from the 2024 program showcased and sold handwoven bags, with the proceeds reinvested into a food sovereignty program for the same communities. This holistic approach ensures that our efforts contribute to both energy independence and economic empowerment.   To learn more about the fantastic impact the Illuminate program has had, watch the video below: https://lnkd.in/ekhwQKYi #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #SocialImpact #EnergyTransition #CircularEconomy #ASOLMEX #Iluminate #SolarEnergy ☀️

Green methanol: what role can Uruguay play in the decarbonization of maritime transport? The production of green methanol could generate employment and encourage the development of local industry in Uruguay, creating opportunities for research, engineering, manufacturing and logistics related to this sustainable fuel. Currently, maritime transport called the "soul of world trade" plays a crucial role in global trade , representing 80% of activity and constituting the backbone of global supply chains. At the antipodes, the sector is under turbulence due to the drought affecting the Panama Canal [1] and conflicts in the Red Sea between American ships and the Houthis (rebel group fighting against the Yemeni government) causing blockades in the strait that communicates with the Suez Canal [2] . We are talking about an industry highly dependent on fossil fuels, which is responsible for emitting 1,000 million tons of CO2 annually, implying 3% of global emissions; In addition, IMO studies indicate that it could double between now and 2050. Consequently, the industry is in transition to incorporate sustainable fuels based on methanol, such as Bioethanol and E-Methanol. Sustainable growth of the methanol market is expected; It is projected to increase from US$ 28,740 Million in 2021 to US$ 39,180 Million in 2028 with a growth rate of 4.5% annually according to Fortune Business insights. What is green methanol? Green methanol is divided into two main classifications: Bioethanol and E-methanol. They differ in the green raw materials used in their production. Bioethanol involves the replacement of coal or natural gas sources with biomass or biogas, while E-Methanol is synthesized using hydrogen produced with renewable electricity called green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide. Green methanol, in contrast to conventional fuels, demonstrates a significant emissions reduction, estimated between 60% and 95% according to the Methanol Institute. The antithesis is that the main limitation lies in the high costs associated with production, which fall specifically on the distribution sector. Projections indicate continued growth in the global e-methanol market, estimating that it will go from the current US$122 million to reach US$3 billion over the next decade. Thus, green methanol is positioned as a sustainable fuel for the decarbonization of the maritime sector . https://bit.ly/48S7r38 #methanol #marine #sustainable #futurefuel #efuel #lowcarbon #tomorrowsfuel
