Things starts moving fast in Hydrogen. The fuel of the future. and transport clearly an area that can exploit the potential. Still most of word`s train network is not electrified, hence use of green hydrogen can truly make transportation clean. #hydrogentrains #energytransistion #greenhydrogen #renewableenergy

Municipalities and communities have finite resources to fund the next generation of infrastructure projects which will improve the quality of life for Canadians.     Sashen Guneratna, Managing Director, Investments, discusses how the CIB blends financing from public, private and institutional partners to help enable new infrastructure.     Our investments in public transit, building retrofits, broadband for underserved communities, wastewater treatment facilities, and district energy systems are supporting healthy and resilient communities.     What do Enwave Energy Corporation, Port Stalashen and Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) have in common? Investments like these are supporting growing communities and unlocking future housing developments.    Connect with us, we’re always looking to build new infrastructure partnerships.   #infrastructure #cdnpoli  Disponible en français: https://lnkd.in/gMWuF-ce

When Member States reconstruct railway lines, also using European Union funding, the works undertaken typically include the modernisation of passenger stations, but rarely do they extend to the access points for freight. Freight terminals should therefore be made a compulsory component of the planning of any infrastructure development project. The efficiency of transhipment terminals is determined by numerous factors: • the geometry of the infrastructure, • the types of transhipment equipment used, • the degree of digitalisation, and • the infrastructure that connects them to the TEN-T network lines.

Groundbreaking Electric Commuter Bus Project Set to Transform South African Transport Landscape In a landmark initiative, South Africa is poised to introduce its first fleet of electric commuter buses in Tshwane and eThekwini municipalities by the close of 2025. The pilot project, financially backed by the Global Environmental Facility and overseen by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) and the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI), aims to revolutionize the nation’s public transportation system. Managed by SANEDI, the implementing agent appointed by DBSA, the project is set to deploy 39 electric buses and the necessary charging infrastructure. The USD 4.7 million in funding secured from the Global Environmental Facility will […] - https://lnkd.in/dUv9yUcq #automotive #evs #ev #electricmobility #emobility #ebikes #fleets #evfleet #evnews #autonews #electricvehicles #electricvehicle #automotiveindustry #automotivejobs #cleantech #cleanenergy #hydrogen #lithium #evbattery #sustainability #climatechange #dbsa #electricbus #electricmobility #sanedi #southafrica

Infrastructure decisions facing the new government The new The Labour Party government has arrived in Number 10 – we look at the decisions relating to #infrastructure such as energy, #transport and #planning that need resolving by the new ministers. The secretary of state for transport Louise Haigh MP and secretary of state for energy and net zero Ed Miliband have plenty to investigate in their new in-trays. Here are some of the considerations that we’ll be watching closely. https://lnkd.in/eRSWHQHw

The First Nations Major Projects Coalition (FNMPC) and Mokwateh are pleased to launch the National Indigenous Electrification Strategy (#NIES).

Opportunity is a door open for First Nations as we must and can become economically independent as First Nations. We are are not just economic problem we are economic success for Canada and can be the solution to our own economy on reserves. The opportunity is there after 150 years of Indian act holding us back for so many years. Exciting times as First Nations venture into country projects such as the electricity grid which many run on our traditional Hwy ways. Key to this is trust amongst everyone and changing the stereotype version of First Nations being a hindering country drain as we are ready and willing to participate in these ventures with fare and equal opportunities. #wealth # partnerships#economic opportunities# Canada 🇨🇦

🌟 In this month's member spotlight, we are highlighting the work of the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada (ACEC-Canada). As the federal government moves forward with initiatives to accelerate housing construction and the transition to electric vehicles, John Gamble, President and CEO of ACEC, says there is an urgent need to ensure foundational infrastructure—from roads and electrical grids—is in line with plans. To achieve that, ACEC says Canada needs a long-term vision and plan for infrastructure to build a more robust economy and meet our climate change targets. ➡ Read the full spotlight: https://lnkd.in/gSSW2hpM #betterfutureforcanada #memberspotlight #GrowthforAllCdns #CroissancePourTousLesCdns

Israel is powering an infrastructure revolution with projects in all sectors, metro, water, waste to energy, power and transport. Finally, the infrastructure deficit is being dealt with. I highly recommend joining this webinar and learning about how to become part of the story!
