Launch of the Renewable Energy from Waste Manifesto on World Environment Day❗️🌍 In honour of World Environment Day, we are thrilled to announce the release of our Renewable Energy from Waste Manifesto.📣 With the upcoming general election on July 4th, the renewable energy from waste sector must garner the recognition it deserves in combating climate change and enhancing energy security in the UK. Building on the success of our previous manifestos, our new manifesto addresses critical topics including: 🔹Renewable energy from waste - where has the industry got to? 🔹A spotlight on anaerobic digestion (AD) 🔹Remaining challenges to the development of AD 🔹Renewable energy proposals from major parties 🔹Our commitment to AD and renewable energy This manifesto highlights the pivotal role that energy from unavoidable, organic waste plays in achieving environmental sustainability and energy resilience. We seek to raise awareness about the importance of this sector, identify existing barriers, and propose actionable solutions to drive further progress. This #WorldEnvironmentDay let’s promote and support a more sustainable future.

Co-CEO Adam Comora and Patrick Serfass of the American Biogas Council published an opinion piece in The Daily Digest outlining their thoughts on how best to encourage investment in the capture and productive use of methane emissions from organic waste.   Recent reports found the incidence of harmful methane emissions from landfills is greater than previously thought – but confirms that their abatement represents a significant opportunity in our fight against climate change. The finalization of EPA's 2022 proposed electric pathway framework regulations would allow for electricity derived from eligible biomass resources and used to power electric vehicles to qualify as renewable fuel and obtain credits called eRINs. This would have manifold benefits to U.S. sustainability and energy security goals, including providing an incentive for landfills and farms to capture methane that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere, increasing and diversifying domestic fuel options, supporting the deployment of electric vehicles, and renewing local waste facilities.   At OPAL Fuels, we are committed to building and operating best-in-class biomethane capture and conversion projects that deliver industry leading, reliable and cost -effective low carbon intensity energy products that displace fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.   Check out Adam and Patrick’s piece here: https://lnkd.in/e5JM5yri   #energypolicy #methanecapture #renewableenergy #renewableelectricty #RNG #climatechange

With the UK aiming for net zero by 2050, it's crucial to prioritize diverse renewable technologies like AD to achieve energy self-sufficiency and resilience. Read more about how AD can help us reach our green goals and the three key commitments outlined by Privilege Finance.

#FAQs A question regarding the most popular projects for carbon credit registration is often asked by our clients and today, we are sharing the answer! Many types of projects or technologies qualify for carbon credits, but the most commonly registered are: Renewable Energy projects #RenewableEnergy projects are categorized as carbon avoidance or emission reduction projects by generating electricity from renewable sources instead of fossil power plants. They can take many forms, but the most familiar are wind, hydro, solar, and biomass. Afforestation & Deforestation projects This type of project is aimed at either planting new trees or removing existing ones. Examples of #afforestation projects include the Managed Forest Project Proposal, which promotes a greater understanding of the workings of a healthy forest essential to a broader appreciation of the natural world and our environment. Nature-based Solutions projects Nature-based solutions are initiatives that use nature to address various environmental, social, and economic challenges. These projects often involve the restoration and #conservation of natural ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, and oceans. Carbon dioxide Removal projects Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects, such as direct air capture are essential for mitigating climate change. These projects aim to draw down and store carbon dioxide, contributing to global efforts to achieve #netzero emissions. Energy Efficiency projects These projects focus on improving #energy use in buildings, transportation, and industry, contributing to a more #sustainable future.

At SGL Carbon, we are committed to sustainability and environmental protection. ✅ Our commitment to resource-friendly manufacturing processes is clearly reflected in the production of our own carbon fibers. By using renewable energy, we can reduce the carbon footprint of our fibers by up to 50 % compared to conventional fibers. This significant progress is a living part of our climate strategy. 🌿 The introduction of a CO₂-friendly biomass system at our site in Lavradio, Portugal, to generate energy will enable a further reduction in our CO₂ emissions. Combined with the potential for renewable energy supply at our Moses Lake site in the USA, we can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions from the production of our own SIGRAFIL® carbon fibers. Dive into our green journey and learn more about our commitment to climate protection.

No single technology alone can stop climate change rapidly enough to prevent irreversible damage. It's imperative that we unite efforts and employ a combination of strategies to effectively address this urgent issue. Additionally, directing investment to the right places is crucial. With significant changes occurring simultaneously, ignorance in new fields could slow down progress.

Design plastics for Landfill Gas-to-Energy recovery (ASTM D5526). These moves into RNG are weekly events, nothing else compares. "Landfill gas is a key source of renewable energy that not only mitigates climate change through the reduction of highly potent methane emissions, but can have a transformative and positive impact on local communities through revenue generation derived from the sale of RNG and associated environmental benefits, as well as job creation for its facilities." https://lnkd.in/gTgJxdac
