This week our Chief Executive, Hamish Trench, will be speaking at the Scottish Contaminated Land Forum conference discussing progress made on tackling vacant and derelict land. Hamish will look at recommendations made in 2020 by the Commission’s VDL Taskforce and actions taken, as well as what more can be done to accelerate progress. His presentation will address what needs to happen to enable re-use of existing VDL and steps needed to prevent a new legacy of VDL based on changing town centres. This is a topic the Commission are heavily focused on with a review conducted by Ryden to be published later this month. #SCLF2024

In an era where our industry is striving to achieve reduced carbon it is also important to understand lifetime carbon. Our Nypol RE is the perfect solution for reducing both upfront carbon and lifetime carbon due to increased durability for more sustainable roads.
By using Nypol RE, a polymer-modified binder with a biogenic component, it is possible to reduce the climate impact while extending the technical lifespan of the asphalt. This was the reason behind the choice of coating when Skanska recently carried out work at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wKslJ

Clean up of sites throughout the Great Lakes continues by dredging in the Lower Rouge River Old Channel (near Detroit, MI) sites contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, heavy metals, and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. The dredging will contribute to the removal of beneficial use impairments, or BUIs, and support progress towards the future delisting of the Rouge River Area of Concern. https://lnkd.in/e7nkhHQz

Link takes you to a short story about one of our tenants that benefited from expedited permitting available through TCEQ. The Waste Permits Division expedite the issuance of a RCRA hazardous waste permit to Expal USA, Inc. These efforts, combined with Expal’s motivation, TexAmericas Center's existing relationship with TCEQ, and the efforts of the Governor's office of Economic Development & Tourism allowed the permit to be issued a remarkable four months ahead of schedule. #TCEQ staff issued a protective permit while helping establish a new business in #Texas that provides both economic and environmental benefits. #SpeedToOccupancy #casestudy #gotxk #economicdevelopment #siteselection Texas Commission on Environmental Quality #industrialdevelopment #texarkana #texasrealestate #DOD #expeditedpermitting #defense Super Dave Quinn, CEcD 👊Jane Witowich Audrey Moon #defense #DOD #foreigndirectinvestment #industrialpark #innovation #investment #TimeIsMoney #incentives

Part six! The WaterborneTP transport sector has many different ship types and services. In the context of the WATERBORNE TRANSPORT lasting INNOVATION project, the six ship types of the Partnership on Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport formed the basis for activities. What would be missing from European lives without these ship types. The sixth and final leaflet in this series concerns offshore vessels. #HorizonEurope #EUPartnerships

A great resource tracking mobilizations related to environmental issues linked to different supply chains and industries. A few years it has been available but good to see it is still being updated. And for those in supplier, supply chain, human rights and/or environmental due diligence, it could be useful to identify and assess the risks of adverse impacts for the rightsholders, as a first step...#environmentaljustice

Ground source heat pumps are overlooked and poorly understood by a supplier base looking to swap over from gas boilers. There is a huge wealth of knowledge amongst the GSHPA and our standards are important in shaping the future of low carbon heating and cooling.
The #GSHPA is pleased to announce the new leads of our Standards working group as Ken Gordon and Chris Davidson. They take this on from our esteemed member Robin Curtis. Our Standards include the vertical borehole standard, thermal transfer fluid and the open loop standard, which are used throughout the industry and are embedded in legislation as Statutory Instruments. We have now launched a new embodied carbon working group, chaired by Ken Gordon, Casper Sanany and Rob Gardiner. We look forward to member involvement in this new group and the results. #GSHPA #LeadershipAnnouncement #IndustryStandards #Geothermal #KenGordon #ChrisDavidson #RobinCurtis #VerticalBorehole #ThermalTransferFluid #OpenLoopStandard #EmbodiedCarbon #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #Legislation #StatutoryInstruments #Innovation #MemberInvolvement #EnergyEfficiency #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture
