Top stories today (£): 💰 Losing investors at PR24 could have consequences beyond water https://lnkd.in/epAPvWJq A major UK infrastructure investor has warned that failing to keep the investment community on-side at PR24 puts wider infrastructure investment at risk, beyond just water. The investor – which holds a stake in a UK water company – told Utility Week that Ofwat’s current stance on equity in its draft determinations risks a “fundamental loss of confidence” in wider UK infrastructure investment. They were speaking following a meeting hosted by environment secretary Rt Hon Steve Reed OBE MP, which brought together investors which hold an estimated £2 trillion worth of available funds. ♒ Government vows to address £45bn waterway funding gap https://lnkd.in/ebC9HBcu The government has vowed to address a £45 billion funding gap which puts the country at risk of missing a string of legally binding targets. Without the funding commitment, The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) has warned that England will fail to meet targets agreed to under the European Commission’s Water Framework Directive “by a considerable margin”. In response to the watchdog’s stark warning, the government said it “accepts that not enough progress has been made in meeting the Framework’s objective for water quality, to restore water bodies to good ecological status or good ecological potential”. 💹 CfD budgets could stretch further with more realistic assumptions https://lnkd.in/e474JfXR The government has been urged to adopt more realistic parameters for Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctions to make the budgets to stretch further. RenewableUK said the assumptions for market reference prices and load factors in recent auctions have become increasingly unrealistic, making bids appear more expensive than they are actually likely to be.

To gate or not to gate your content... that seems to be a pretty common question in the channel. Though the answer isn't quite as clear-cut as you'd think. Interestingly, there's been a 77% increase in demand for gated content since 2019 with no signs of stopping anytime soon. But while gated content is on the rise, that doesn't mean you should do it to everything. Ungated content is still incredibly valuable, from search engines trawling your content to boost your organic on-page SEO, to prospective leads dipping their toes into your brand to see what you can offer them. So, to answer the question, a clever blend of gated and ungated content will maximize your reach and engagement. Not sure what to gate and what to leave accessible? Check this article from our CCO, Daren Bach (FCIM), where he shares his insight! #IndirectChannel #ChannelContent #ChannelMarketing #KnowYourCustomers

Following on from a lively discussion I had, I wanted to share my thoughts on the gated versus ungated content debate (yes, that's how interesting my life is!! At least it wasn't a political debate!). Have a read, agree or disagree just let me know.

Turbulence ahead - What is Project 2025? Developed by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and dozens of allies of Trump, Project 2025 is a transition project, or blueprint, for the next Republican president, namely Trump. Hoping to hit the ground running on Day One, authors of the plan, which was released in April 2023, say it’s a guide to undo the “damage” to America caused by Democratic presidents. #project2025 https://lnkd.in/efwUG2_h

THE TOPIC: natural “waste” as a resource (there is no waste in Nature!) – a suitable case for innovation ? Read in circularonline.co.uk/news today: “Waste and Resource Minister Robbie Moore has said there are “no options that are off the table” for dealing with hydrogen sulphide emissions from Walleys Quarry landfill site. Speaking to a reporter from Signal 1 on 19 February, Moore said he intends to hold the Environment Agency to account over the options they are exploring. The Environment Agency told Circular Online that it is keeping all its “regulatory options under review”. Moore also said he spoke to residents in Galingale View and described the smell coming from the landfill site as “bad”. Writing on X, Moore said the “status quo is unacceptable and cannot continue”. Walleys Quarry in Newcastle-under-Lyme has been subject to numerous complaints over foul-smelling odours. Between 5-11 February, the Environment Agency received 905 odour reports/complaints.” THE TOPIC: hydrogen H2 and sulfur S2 are naturally occurring elements freely available in specific locations ; as is hydrogen sulphide H2S, a combination of the two. THE GOOD NEWS 1: Hydrogen is available in nature as gas, free of charge. Hydrogen and Sulfur are natural resources, Sulfur as solid. THE GOOD NEWS 2: in the UK, Waste and Resource are dealt with by the same Ministry. And natural (green) hydrogen is in rapidly increasing demand by the steel and glass industry as well as for H2-fuel-cell driven vehicles. THE BAD NEWS 1: Sulphur in solid form is mined in many volcanic areas by child labour in unhealthy conditions, to say the least. THE BAD NEWS 2: in Walleys Quarry in Newcastle-under-Lyme, hydrogen sulphide gas escapes as gas and causing trouble with the local population. THE CHALLENGE: this is a clear case for innovation to capture the H2S. emissions, separate the two elements and sell them in the commodity markets. Which University or industry in the UK or elsewhere is willing to pick up this challenge? Any organization solving this problem will gain a gold medal in sustainability for a truly green technology ! Who is willing to pick up this challenge, which may also occur elsewhere ? https://lnkd.in/eeGKGp-q #hydrogen #sulfur #waste #UK #WalleysQuarry #hydrogensulphide #emissions #nuisance #challenge #holisticinnovation #technology #WHO

What's the quickest way to lose favor with journalists? According to the Cision 2024 Global State of the Media Report, 3 in 4 journalists will block someone who spams them with irrelevant pitches. Only 7% of journalists said the majority of pitches they get are relevant to their audience, underscoring the importance of conducting targeted outreach when pitching stories. If you're reaching out to a journalist for the first time, it's imperative that you take the time to read through their bio, review their past stories, and check their social media activity to ensure that your topic is a good fit before you make your pitch. Other ways to find yourself on a do not call list include providing inaccurate or unsourced info, sending pitches that sound like marketing brochures, overdoing it with endless follow-ups, and demonstrating a lack of transparency.

Fossil Fuel's social licence to operate aka public support, is crucial to them. There are multiple ways such companies sustain this, clearly a key way is through advertising as illustrated in this great article from DeSmog
🔴 Based on internal docs seized by US congress, my latest for DeSmog lays out how BP placed paid-for content in trusted media brands to influence Washington policymakers. “Sponsored content advertising is a powerful way to reach a specific audience focused on specific issues,” BP stated in the document. “We use sponsored content as a tool to push our messages directly to Washington, DC, [sic] elites who set and influence energy policy — and can decide whether we keep our license to operate.” 😬
