Solar One’s Post

To make the earth a better place, I would focus on: •Encouraging conservation of natural resources. •support development of technology that solve global challenges. •Participation in local cleanups. •support renewable energy. Sustainability in Practice

Sustainability is a challenge that we at Sachsenkabel are tackling—step by step and always within our capabilities. Today, Martin from Supply Chain Management shares how we began reducing our ecological footprint in 2024: "2024 was a year of rethinking for us," reports Martin. "A significant step was switching to hydroelectric power for our facility in Gornsdorf. This means we now source our electricity entirely sustainably. Additionally, installing a photovoltaic system was a milestone: With a capacity of about 50,000 kWh, we can cover approximately 40% of our energy needs on-site. These are initial measures that show us we are on the right track." For the coming years, we have further plans: "In 2025, we will switch to biogas at our Gornsdorf and Burkhardtsdorf facilities. This is another step towards gradually meeting the legally mandated CO₂ reduction targets." There have also been changes in the area of mobility: "We have increased the share of electric and hybrid vehicles in our fleet to 45% and have installed charging points at our locations—for both our fleet and our customers. It's gratifying to see such measures prove effective in practice." What Martin especially emphasizes: "Sustainability is a process. We are working to meet the requirements and find the most forward-looking solutions possible. Being able to implement these first steps makes us proud as a team." What changes did you make in 2024 to become more sustainable? We look forward to hearing about your experiences and ideas in the comments!

Behind Every Great Solar Plant, There's a Great Team 🌟 At megaom, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, extending beyond optimising solar performance to nurturing the natural environment. In Trujillo, Extremadura, at our La Solanilla solar park, we’ve seen firsthand how renewable energy can work hand in hand with biodiversity. 🐝 Alongside producing clean energy, our solar park supports local ecosystems, including a thriving bee population. Recently, we collected honey directly from the beehives on-site—a small reminder of how innovation and nature can complement each other. 💬 How do you see technology and nature working together to shape a better future?

📊 From Sustainable Energy to Sustainable Ecosystems – Answering the Biodiversity Question 📊 The case for clean energy is clear – dependence on fossil fuels for energy will force climate change to severely impact our lands, oceans and lives. As we clear smooth highways for energy transition, we must pay close heed to the ecosystems we are clearing, in our haste. ✅ Globally, it is estimated that 1/3rd of areas with high solar and wind power potential and many of the reserves of critical minerals used in RE overlap with areas of high biodiversity value. The Zone of Influence of a project can extend outside several km of a project ✅ The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that USD 44 trillion of economic value generation is moderately or highly dependent on nature. ✅ The presence of plant and animal life also acts as indicators of the health of the ecosystem. For instance, the presence of the GIB is a strong indicator of the health of the grassland ecosystem which supports local communities. ✅ It is essential to improve the visibility on biodiversity impact of projects, along with costs and technical proficiency. Clean Energy project proposal submissions could contain a mandatory study on the long-term impact of the project on region biodiversity, with a scoring on biodiversity impacts of the project Such studies can encourage actions across several pathways: 1️⃣ Supplement investment in clean energy with investment in technology solutions: HUB Ocean is leveraging its Ocean Data Platform to publicly share ocean environmental data from offshore wind farms. This visibility can offer continuous opportunities to device ways and means to safeguard biodiversity. 2️⃣ Financial Instruments such as blue bonds: This provides an instrument for investors to allocate capital towards biodiversity action in renewable energy while demonstrating to the wider financial community that there are opportunities as well as demand to invest in such initiatives. 3️⃣ Proposals have been made in Australia to visualize the country in red, green and yellow zones that highlight the critical biodiversity regions to ensure that land-use measures the impact on biodiversity. 4️⃣ Other technology solutions such as modelling movements of animals to avoid collisions and to reduce habitat loss over large areas, etc. can help drive the adoption of biodiversity interests. ✅ Let’s be clear – Renewables aren’t the “bad guys” here. There is no “bad guy” here. We might feel like we are a long way off from the interests of clean energy and nature intersecting. But the fact remains that we are constantly running out of time to secure the earth’s future. We NEED to find a way to balance multiple interests all at once – just as our planet does.

ESG & Cleantech Summit 2024 - Synergizing Innovation and Sustainability   It was a great experience attending above summit in Mumbai on 5th Sept. Expert speakers joined the event from various spheres.   Main take away from this session, I would like to share with you all: -- Turning FOOTPRINTS to HANDPRINTS Mechanism of hands on action to offset carbon based on carbon footprint -- BEST out of WASTE Meaningful end of life cycle through coprocessing based on calorific value -- VASUNDHARA ABHIYAN & JAL JEEVAN MISSION Biodiversity preservation and Water Conservation projects -- Green Finance and RECs (also known as green tags) Funding of business, technologies, projects that are environmentally oriented Customers can buy a REC for each MWh of renewable energy they consume

Kudos to Miami-Dade County for Taking Bold Steps Toward Sustainability! Miami-Dade County is tackling a long-standing challenge with bold innovation, turning the byproduct of something we all do—flushing our toilets—into renewable fuels capable of powering hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation, cruise ships, and heavy freight. Transforming wastewater biosolids into sustainable energy isn’t just an environmental solution—it’s a critical step toward addressing one of the nation’s most pressing issues. At the core of this initiative is Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL), a cutting-edge technology that converts the carbon-rich material in biosolids into biocrude oil. Every time we flush, we contribute to the millions of tons of biosolids that wastewater treatment facilities must manage daily. HTL offers dual benefits: reducing the growing burden of biosolid disposal while tackling emerging contaminants, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, and other "forever chemicals" that threaten our environment and farming communities. This transformative project not only addresses Miami-Dade’s immediate waste management needs but also positions the county as a leader in sustainable innovation. By investing in solutions with significant environmental and economic benefits, Miami-Dade County is setting an example for the nation on how to turn everyday waste into a powerful resource for the future. Taking bold steps like this—investing in cutting-edge solutions with real environmental and economic benefits—is exactly what’s needed to drive a more sustainable future. I commend the county for its leadership and vision in pursuing this transformative opportunity. AECOM Energy AECOM - Water
