Attention All Climate Solutions and Infrastructure Businesses! In response to the pressing climate crisis, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the development and operation of a 2.75-acre parcel on the Brooklyn waterfront for clean energy infrastructure or the production of technology addressing climate change. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation has a 130,000 sq ft parcel that is a prime location for clean energy infrastructure or the manufacture of products to address climate change. BNYDC is seeking to learn more about potential projects for the Site with these uses. Climate change is one of society’s most pressing global issues and one that requires the development, production and deployment of a significant amount of “devices” of varying sizes and scales (i.e. heat pumps, solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, transmission stations, battery energy storage systems, to name a few). BNYDC has a rare opportunity to redevelop the Site to provide critically needed clean energy infrastructure and/or establish industrial space that will develop products addressing climate change and create jobs in New York City’s emerging “green economy.” Tour dates listed on the RFEI.

Here's a possibility inspired by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation’s Request for Expressions of Interest, we envision a dynamic shared facility like The Green Launchpad to foster innovation in sustainable technologies. The Green Launchpad is a collaborative hub within the Brooklyn Navy Yard designed to nurture startups specializing in sustainable technologies. Sponsored by leading industry corporations and supported by public funding, this facility offers a range of shared resources from manufacturing spaces to R&D labs. Startups begin in the Green Launchpad with access to shared resources, reducing initial costs and fostering collaboration. As companies mature, they move on, making room for new ventures. This cycle nurtures a continuous flow of innovation and job creation in the Yard, supporting the local economy and advancing environmental sustainability. This model promotes not only economic growth and innovation in green technologies but also serves as an educational platform for the next generation, tying closely with the Yard’s mission of sustainable community development. This hub could accommodate around 10-15 startups, potentially creating 100-300 jobs, which would invigorate the local economy and boost job creation in green industries. **Financing the Vision: ** The development of such a hub could be supported through a mix of industry sponsorships, government grants, and public-private partnerships, enabling a robust platform for startups to innovate with reduced financial barriers. This concept, inspired by the Brooklyn RFEI, illustrates the immense potential for similar initiatives globally, offering a blueprint for how industries could collaborate to nurture eco-friendly innovations and sustainable community development. Community Engagement: Startups at the Green Launchpad would collaborate with the Brooklyn STEAM Center and other local educational programs to offer internships, training, and workshops, thereby fostering a pipeline of talent and reinforcing community ties. This integration ensures ongoing benefits for the local economy and enhances the social fabric of the area through innovative, environmentally focused projects. This is merely one idea of how spaces like these could be transformed to meet the needs of tomorrow's green economy. It's definitely a great opportunity for industries and local government to make a difference in climate and infrastructure!

Delivering #InfrastructureResilience is crucial for asset owners, investors and communities. However, the current level of investment is significantly lower than what's required. So, how can we bridge the gap between the severity of the climate emergency and the actions being taken? Madeleine Rawlins, our global practice leader for #ClimateChange, explores the need to work together and advocate for a globally standardised approach with IG - Infrastructure Global. Discover insights on recognising global #ClimateResilience gaps and ensuring funding is targeted to places that need it most. 👇 https://mottm.ac/3XefG7g

Severe weather events across the globe are a stark reminder of the scale of the climate crisis we are facing. It’s vital that we ensure our infrastructure is resilient to the impact of a changing climate. I’ve written a piece for Infrastructure Global, on the scale of the resilience challenge we’re facing, and the role that the Physical Climate Risk Assessment Methodology (PCRAM) is playing to improve consistency in risk and resilience assessment and protecting infrastructure and communities. Mott Macdonald developed PCRAM through the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment and it's further development is now led by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC). https://lnkd.in/ehM4msXr

Maryland is taking bold steps towards cutting emissions and promoting clean energy! Despite a budget shortfall, Gov. Wes Moore has committed $90 million to electrify low-income households and install #evcharging infrastructure. This initiative underscores Maryland's commitment to climate action and equity. With a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the state aims to achieve ambitious climate targets outlined in the 2022 Climate Solutions Now Act. Additionally, proposed legislation seeks to shift energy efficiency programs towards reducing climate pollution while maintaining a focus on conservation and home improvements. By embracing electrification and energy efficiency, Maryland is paving the way for a cleaner, healthier future. Let's support these initiatives and work towards a more sustainable tomorrow! #cleanenergy #climateactionnow #maryland #energyefficiency #electrification #electrifyeverything #electricvehicles

Interdisciplinary scientist with an academic background in physics and environmental exposure assessment, and professional expertise in assessing geochemical CDR approaches.
💥 RMI's new State CDR Atlas is now launched! 💥 Carbon Dioxide Removal (#CDR) is an important piece of the climate solution puzzle. States have pre-existing natural resources, infrastructure, industries, and workforce that can advantage certain types of CDR. The Atlas is a starting point for US state stakeholders to explore CDR opportunities and policy needs in their states, compiling over 80 metrics to highlight natural resources, infrastructure, industries, and workforce assets relevant to eight types of CDR. It compares the CDR opportunity in each state to the strength of current state policy and provides insights into possible policy interventions to enable CDR in a safe, community-supported way. Check out the launch article: https://lnkd.in/eJ4u7MtX Explore the Atlas: https://lnkd.in/eBcpR9ej Congratulations on all the hard work that went in here Kyle Clark-Sutton Isabel Wood Jane Sadler Joaquin Rosas Elizabeth Healy Kaveer Phillip Gareth Westler! #carbondioxideremoval #climatepolicy

New York State continues to set nation-leading examples in climate change efforts, emphasizing actions in many areas of clean energy to meet ambitious emission targets. However, meeting tomorrow's net-zero targets requires immediate action in several critical areas, like building decarbonization. Initiatives like Local Law 97 mandating stringent carbon emission reductions for buildings are urging building owners and developers to consider extensive actions to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, with building HVAC accounting for approximately 55% of a building's energy demand, alternative heating and cooling systems are first in line to drive the change. Geothermal heat pumps offer a future-focused and viable path to compliance, significantly reducing fossil fuel consumption and working up to five times more efficiently than comparable systems. By adopting technology like geothermal heat pumps in dense areas across NYC, the State can make significant strides towards a sustainable future, transforming our buildings into efficient, green structures and providing realized long-term economic benefits.
