Heliogen’s Post

To celebrate the UN’s World Ocean Day, here’s a gorgeous short video of the magnificent ocean (plus all the wind sound effects!) taken by our own Cormac Gebruers, Group External Affairs Manager.   Oceans cover 70% of the planet and produces over 50% of our oxygen. It is vital to humanity, and also to our operations at DP Energy as well.   Ocean winds are also the strongest and most consistent (and reliable) on the planet, making them a fantastic endless source of cost effective, sustainable energy. Our Ocean Energy initiatives utilise our vast water resources to create electricity from the power of waves, known as Wave Energy, and tides, known as Tidal Energy.   In creating all forms of energy, we also work to enhance marine biodiversity, aiming to leave the ocean just as we found it; or better.   One example is our Gwynt Glas floating offshore wind farm project, where we work with Falmouth Harbour and charities Sea-Changers and OUR ONLY WORLD to install ‘reef cubes’ – structures made from recycled aggregate and sand by ARC Marine, that enhance marine biodiversity. We are working to install 14 of these cubes in the harbour waters and they will support marine ecosystems by providing living spaces for fish, crabs and lobsters, and allow marine plants to grow on their surface.   This partnership aligns with our mission to drive sustainable innovation and maximise local benefits from our projects, wherever possible.   Find out more about this partnership here - https://lnkd.in/eNDVpy4E   Find out about World Ocean Day here - https://lnkd.in/gzMV3qE

Strix at the World Ocean Summit forging partnerships and advancing offshore wind development We were delighted to take part in this year's World Ocean Summit, organized by The Economist. As an organisation at the forefront of sustainable development and the preservation of marine biodiversity, we not only contributed our insights but also forged significant partnerships and expanded our network among global leaders in sustainable ocean economy and ocean-climate solutions. This year, the summit shone a light on critical themes such as biodiversity and offshore wind energy development. Strix's engagement at the event underscored our unwavering commitment to innovative solutions that balance renewable energy projects with the vital need to protect marine ecosystems. At Strix, we stand firm in our belief that collaboration and innovation are key to a sustainable future. The World Ocean Summit served as an unparalleled platform for networking with policymakers, experts, and industry leaders passionate about the health of our oceans. We seized the opportunity to share our expertise in sustainable offshore wind development and to lay the groundwork for future collaborations that will amplify our efforts in marine conservation. Participating in the summit enabled us to dive into crucial discussions and pave the way for a more sustainable and flourishing future for our oceans. Through building partnerships and expanding our network, we are advancing in the battle against climate change and the loss of biodiversity. #WorldOceanSummit #Sustainability #OffshoreWind #MarineBiodiversity #StrixInAction #Partnerships #Networking

Happy Earth Day from Naue! 🌍💚🌳 At Naue, we're passionate about building a sustainable future for our planet. That's why we develop innovative geosynthetics solutions that minimize environmental impact. This Earth Day, we're reflecting on the power of making smart choices. Did you know that switching from compacted clay liners to our Bentofix® geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) can significantly reduce your project's CO2 footprint? Here's a simple example: sealing 4,500 square meters with Bentofix® requires just ONE truck, compared to a whopping 187 trucks needed for the same area using traditional compacted clay! That's a massive reduction in transport emissions and a huge win for the environment. We believe that every step towards sustainability counts. By choosing Naue, you're not just building strong, reliable structures – you're also building a greener future. Let us celebrate the beauty of our planet and pledge to do our part to protect it! #EarthDay #Sustainability #Geosynthetics #Naue #BuildGreen P.S. Want to learn more about how Naue can help your project achieve its sustainability goals? Drop a comment below and let's chat!

Did you know that today, 5th of June, is the World Environment Day 2024? In case you didn't - World Environment Day is a day to increase awareness of global environmental problems and inspire people to take action to protect the environment. This year's themes are accelerating land restoration, drought resilience & desertification progress - the issues that we increasingly face due the people's behaviours to consume more than necessarily, to accept products and lifestyles consuming and destroying planet Earth's resources. It is mandatory that we all increase our awareness and take actions to safe our planet. I write this post in Stockholm, where I am meeting our EG A/S and EG EnerKey new colleagues from Mestro. Together we are addressing and building solutions to enable our customers to drive their energy efficiency and sustainability agendas fact-based. What I am impressed is not just the great team of Mestro but also the passion how they drive the overall sustainability awareness in the Swedish industry. So important, so purposeful! But, then again, I should not be surprised, as Sweden has a long history of sustainability and protecting the environment. In 1967, Sweden was the first country in the world to pass an environmental protection act! That is a topic to be proud of!

What does Earth Day mean to us at Novastus? Reflecting on the origins of Earth Day back in 1970, its evolution resonates deeply with our mission. Initially, actions like planting a tree symbolized a commitment to environmental awareness. Today, the urgency to safeguard our planet has only intensified, especially as many of us are parents and grandparents, aspiring to leave a healthier Earth for future generations.
