⚙️WATCH: Boston Metal CEO Tadeu Carneiro at the 103rd Transportation Research Board meeting, where he spoke in the "New Materials for #Infrastructure" session moderated by U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The session highlighted durable, green, and low-embodied #carbon infrastructure technologies like Boston Metal's Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE), an electricity-driven technology that revolutionizes #metal production. As a CI portfolio company since 2019, Boston Metal offers cost-competitive, eco-friendly solutions for decarbonizing steel-making and producing high-value metals from various feedstocks and iron ore grades. This innovation exemplifies reducing emissions in infrastructure and construction while enhancing resilience to #climate impacts. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dfKy_fn.

ESTCP is thrilled to have sponsored Department of Navy’s capacity to execute over $20 million in contracts for innovative projects that will increase mission resilience and mitigate impacts of climate change. These projects, funded by the Navy and Marine Corps, include a range of nature-based solution prototype projects with focused investments in areas such as shoreline and infrastructure resilience, embankment stabilization, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) monitoring, and the creation of a climate adaptation planning framework for Navy Region Southwest: https://bit.ly/3NcMcjN As part of the Innovation Landscapes Network, ESTCP is partnering with the Department of Navy – which manages nearly 3 million acres of arid and semi-arid landscapes – to accelerate the transfer of science and technology solutions that address severe flooding events and improve watershed resilience. With an expedited acquisition process, we're meeting today's installation manager needs on responsive timelines.   Led by DoD and USGS, the Innovation Landscapes Network facilitates partnerships between researchers, installation managers, and federal agency landowners to develop and transfer adaptive tools across ecological landscapes in the Eastern U.S., Southwestern U.S., and Alaska.

In a recent report, the University of Alaska Fairbanks's Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP), supported by Hawaii Natural Energy Institute and Office of Naval Research, concluded that Alaska's Railbelt communities could generate >90% percent of #electricity from non-fossil-fuel sources by 2050... but there is a catch. Learn more about the scenarios (tracks) laid out for Alaska's Railbelt and how they could affect other energy #investments in #Alaska and beyond in my article " A Track to #Sustainability" for the May edition of Alaska Business , available now in print and online!

Another piece of the puzzle provided to Government. The Defence Estate is a complex web of structures and infrastructure, often deprioritized when funding is needed for platforms and equipment. Defence White Paper 2016 highlighted the reducing remaining useful life of Estate assets and started an increased renewal focus. Unfortunately, as has been the case over much of history, this has been harder to implement and subject to ongoing reprioritsation and the effect of significant underlying cost pressures. Additionally, the approvals process has not been fit for purpose, although much positive work has been done to improve that over the last few years. Hopefully, this report will provide some insight and impetus to further improve how Defence Infrastructure investment can occur. Security and Estate Group Australian Naval Institute
