Soil Solutions can offer pivotal support to Astra Energy Inc.'s initiative to develop a 100-Megawatt Clean and Renewable Energy Park in Lesotho, leveraging its expertise in providing innovative and environmentally friendly soil stabilization and dust control solutions. Their involvement can enhance the project's efficiency, sustainability, and overall success in several ways: Infrastructure Stability: Soil Solutions can ensure the stability of the energy park's infrastructure, including access roads and foundations for solar panels or wind turbines, by employing their advanced soil stabilization techniques. This would mitigate erosion risks and ensure long-term structural integrity, crucial for the project's durability and reliability. Dust Suppression: Implementing dust control measures is essential for maintaining optimal operational conditions, especially for solar energy components. Soil Solutions' environmentally friendly dust suppression products can significantly reduce airborne particles that may affect the efficiency of solar panels, contributing to maintaining high energy output levels. Environmental Conservation: Soil Solutions' technologies align with Astra Energy's commitment to environmental sustainability. Their solutions are designed to minimize ecological impact, supporting the project's aim to enhance Lesotho's energy sector without compromising its natural resources. This approach is essential for gaining community support and fulfilling regulatory environmental standards. Project Consultancy: Leveraging Soil Solutions' extensive experience in large-scale projects, Astra Energy can benefit from expert consultancy in planning and implementing soil and dust management strategies. This collaboration can identify potential challenges early and deploy effective solutions, ensuring smooth project progress and timely completion. Enhanced Project Viability: By addressing soil stability and dust control effectively, Soil Solutions can help Astra Energy enhance the project's overall viability and attractiveness to investors and stakeholders. Demonstrating a proactive approach to managing environmental impacts strengthens the project's credentials as a sustainable and responsible investment. Soil Solutions' contribution to Astra Energy Inc.'s Clean and Renewable Energy Park project in Lesotho can be a key factor in its success, ensuring that it not only achieves its energy generation goals but also sets a benchmark for sustainable and environmentally responsible development in the region. https://lnkd.in/dXAQ_v8S #renewableenergy #environmentallyresponsible #lesotho #infrastructuredevelopment #solarpanels #soilstabilization #erosioncontrol #dustcontrol #structuralintegrity #highenergy

💡Achieving #3xRenewables by 2030 requires overcoming structural barriers impending the acceleration of the #EnergyTransition. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s World Energy Transitions Outlook Brief identifies the barriers and the key enablers to overcome them. Read: bit.ly/49Wu8UB

"Tripling installed renewable power capacity by 2030 requires a parallel commitment to significantly increase electricity storage capacities. Implementing a battery storage system is crucial to achieving flexible and resilient power systems. In 2022, global total capacity of grid-scale battery storage reached 28 GW, marking a 75% increase compared to 2021." #LDES #EnergyStorage #Innovation #IronSaltBattery

Upon a request from the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia - ეკონომიკის სამინისტრო to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Agency had embarked on a Renewable Readiness Assessment (RRA) process in the country. In partnership with the Ministry, IRENA facilitated an Expert Validation Workshop as virtual event yesterday to engage large number of relevant stakeholders and discuss challenges and validate draft recommendations for the development of renewables and #energytransition in #Georgia. The outcomes of the discussions provided substantive inputs for the finalization of short- to medium-term actions and recommendations to improve the conditions and remove the existing barriers to scale up the #renewable power.

Former Gasunie CEO george verberg has called European plans to repurpose natural gas pipelines for renewable hydrogen transport unrealistic, predicting they won’t be feasible until at least 2045.   Verberg highlighted safety concerns and hydrogen’s lower energy content, which complicate its integration into existing infrastructure.   While the EU aims for 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen production and imports by 2030, Verberg said more tests and risk analyses are needed. He criticized the Dutch HyWay 27 report, suggesting that the actual cost of retrofitting pipelines could quadruple to EUR 5-6bn.   Link to the full news article by Elias Huuhtanen can be found in the comments section. #hydrogen #energymarkets #renewables #energygrid #energyprices

Our Director of People, Nicola McSweeney is participating in a panel discussion tomorrow morning at the Energy Ireland Conference. During the discussion entitled ‘Accelerating Ireland's Energy Transition’, Nicola will outline how our employees are central to the success of realising our vision to decarbonise the gas network by replacing natural gas with renewable gases – biomethane now, and green hydrogen in the future to substantially reduce the country’s carbon emissions while complementing intermittent renewable electricity and ensuring a secure energy supply. Also participating in this panel discussion are: Dave Kirwan, Managing Director, Bord Gáis Energy Klair Neenan, Managing Director, SSE Airtricity John Reilly, Head of Renewable Energy, Bord na Móna Marguerite Sayers, Deputy Chief Executive, ESB #RenewableGases #Biomethane #GreenHydrogen
