I'm excited to announce IEDO's $121M investment towards industrial decarbonization! Details below: Achieving a net-zero industrial sector requires an aggressive, multidimensional approach. Today the @U.S. Department of Energy Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office announced $121 million to decarbonize America’s industrial sector through a two-pronged research, development, and pilot demonstration strategy: Cross-Sector Technologies FOA: $38M to drive innovation for the cross-sector technologies required to create a clean energy economy. Energy-and Emissions-Intensive Industries NOI: $83M to decrease emissions in the hardest to decarbonize industrial subsectors. Read more about these funding opportunities:

The impact of energy efficiency on the economy is crystal clear. GDP is growing at a faster pace than energy consumption, proving we can now do MORE for LESS!! "US “energy productivity” set a new record in 2023 as economic growth outpaced energy consumption and grew 3.8% year-on-year. The trend is even starker over the past 10 years, where GDP has grown by 25.5% while primary energy consumption has decreased by 4%. The result: a 30.6% increase in productivity." . . . . . #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #SolarPower #WindEnergy #SustainableEnergy #EnergyInnovation #ClimateChangeSolutions #GreenTech #BatteryStorage #SmartGrids #GreenEnergy #EcoInnovation #RenewableResources #CleanEnergyFuture #ZeroEmissions #SustainableLiving #EnergyTransition #EcoFriendlyTech #RenewableTech #CleanPower

Clean energy investment is on the rise! A recent report by BloombergNEF reveals that global investment in clean energy increased by 17% to $1.8 trillion in 2023.

Global Clean Energy R&D: 2023 Trends And Challenges In Funding Innovation In 2023, global clean energy R&D spending continued to rise, driven by a 13% increase in U.S. government spending and significant corporate investments, totaling USD 160 billion. Despite a slower growth rate than in previous years, the momentum remained strong, particularly in the automotive sector. Three main factors fueled this trend: government commitments to emission reduction, strategic funding in areas with deployment gaps, and the recognition of investment opportunities in clean energy technologies. However, 2023 was challenging for smaller, innovative clean energy companies. Rising inflation and higher interest rates made venture capital (VC) more expensive and less accessible. Many investors […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dHHizVgh #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #cleanenergy #marketresearch #renewableenergy #sustainable #venturecapital

It was great to see representatives of Harmony Energy Income Trust plc and Harmony Energy take to the stage at the 9th Energy Storage Summit last week 👏   Head of Sustainability Lucie Peralta Agass, Head of Asset Management Jamie Vernon, and Harmony Energy CIO / Harmony Energy Advisors Managing Director Paul Mason all took centre stage to share their knowledge and expertise of the industry.   🍃 Lucie’s session, ‘Ensuring Sustainable Energy Storage with ESG Compliance,’ covered various topics, including:   - How battery energy storage systems (BESS) will accelerate us towards net zero, including methodologies for measuring the climate impact of BESS. - The sustainability challenges facing the industry, such as the environmental and social impact of extracting and processing rare materials and minerals used in batteries, and how we’re working to move the dial on these challenges through the implementation of our Supplier Code of Conduct and supplier due diligence and engagement. - The importance of investing back in local communities and the natural environment through our community funds and commitment to achieve a minimum net biodiversity gain of 10% across the portfolio.   📈 Jamie’s session, ‘Enhancing Asset Management with Performance and Data,’ was an opportunity for Jamie to share his expertise on: - The importance of utilising data to enhance both financial performance and asset availability, citing the key influence of our bespoke internal asset management system, Harmonise, and how it plays a pivotal role in optimising our operations and driving strategic conversations with our partners and investors. - How collecting and understanding data can lead to well-informed decisions on how to optimise revenue streams, risk manage cycle rates, boost asset reliability and accurately track warranty/contractual compliance.   🔋 Paul rounded off a brilliant couple of days at the summit, with his session, ‘Highlighting the Investors’ Current Appetite for Energy Storage.’ In his session, he emphasised the continued appetite for the sector from investors who are able to see past short-term noise and make investments based on the clear long-term value which BESS brings to the energy transition.   It was a delight to hear from all those across the industry sharing their expertise.
