Avebe’s contribution to SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy⚡ To produce starch and proteins from potatoes, Avebe requires vast amounts of energy. We continuously strive to find opportunities to reduce energy consumption, which should always be the first step. However, there will always be a remaining energy demand. For this part, Avebe investigates which sources of sustainable energy could meet this demand in the future. This is how Avebe contributes to the energy transition. 🌎🌱 In recent years, Avebe has enabled solar parks on its grounds and shared its power connection to the grid, helping to keep costs affordable. ☼ This summer, Avebe participated in a study led by the New Energy Coalition to investigate the application of blue hydrogen* produced in the Eemshaven to replace natural gas. For this, a new grid would be built to connect the industry in Eastern Groningen. Over time, this blue hydrogen can be replaced by green, fully renewable hydrogen when production volumes have increased, and prices have dropped to an affordable level. *Green hydrogen is hydrogen based on renewable energy; blue hydrogen is hydrogen that does not release carbon because it is stored in Norway under the North Sea. About the SDGs: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals set by the United Nations in 2015 to address pressing environmental, social and economic challenges and create a more sustainable future for all by 2030. Avebe wants to have a positive impact in the short and long term. We link our long-term impact to the SDGs. #RoyalAvebe #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #SDG7

Social acceptance of renewable energy and green transition projects depends on whether the projects have national and local benefits such as domestic energy supplies, use of domestic technology and economic advantages through local value chains. Does foreign ownership play a role in local value chain development and benefit small communities? Could the EU Green Deal help or hinder local communities to develop sustainably within the green transition?  As part of the License to Operate: Sustainable Ocean Development and the Green Transition, we will focus on the societal acceptance of the green transition and how it impacts small businesses, remote communities and political decisions.

We are excited to announce that Carbonway has become a proud member of the Alliance for Industry Decarbonization (AFID). The Alliance for Industry Decarbonization was established in September 2022 by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to accelerate the decarbonization of the industrial sector, particularly focusing on those industries that are challenging to decarbonize. It is rapidly expanding its footprint with currently more than 60 members. IRENA has more than 170 member countries. The alliance focuses on multiple pillars of action, including policy advocacy, technology innovation, financing and investment, and knowledge sharing. As part of our involvement in the alliance, Carbonway is joining the working group on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (BECCUS). Bioenergy is poised to play a crucial role in decarbonizing industry by providing a renewable gas source and contributing to negative emissions when combined with carbon capture. Look out for upcoming publications on BECCUS Policies, regulations, MRVs & certification. #carbonway #beccs #cdr #carboncapture #industry #climatetech

What a great week for green ammonia. Following exciting news in MENA earlier this week, now we hear from Chile with another large (huge) scale project in Patagonia submitted to the Environmental Permitting Service. Step by step, green hydrogen based projects make progress as the main alternative to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors. This week is the turn of Ammonia and Fertilizer Industry.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized Europe's leadership in renewable hydrogen, contrasting with US delays.--'Europe will continue to lead green #hydrogen , even as the US lags behind'-- She highlighted Europe's investment decisions on over 2 gigawatts of projects, quadrupling installed capacity. She cited Sweden's Stegra steel plant as an example of rapid development across Europe.

South Australia's Hydrogen Jobs Plan, aimed at transforming Whyalla into a leading green energy hub, has received crucial federal environmental approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This milestone marks a significant advancement for the project, bolstering South Australia's commitment to sustainable development and environmental conservation. The project, featuring a 200 MW hydrogen-fueled power station and a 250 MW electrolyser, represents one of the largest of its kind globally. With a budget of $593 million, it aims to leverage Whyalla’s substantial renewable resources to produce green hydrogen, thereby supporting the region's transition to a green energy hub. As the world’s demand for clean energy grows, Australia is moving ever closer to realising its potential as a global renewables powerhouse. This latest development is a strong case study of the country’s commitment to a cleaner future, setting the stage for further innovation and expansion in green hydrogen production.

📢 🇨🇱 Chile and Germany Strengthen Energy Cooperation 🇩🇪 📢 Chilean President Gabriel Boric and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced plans to enhance cooperation on climate change, renewable energy, and industrial decarbonization. Meeting in Berlin on the first day of Boric’s European tour, they discussed green energy development, joint projects in artificial hydrocarbon generation, green hydrogen refinement, and sustainable lithium production. Boric emphasized the importance of Germany in Chile's lithium industry, highlighting the commitment to increasing trade and collaboration in this promising sector. Chile, the world's second-largest lithium exporter, sees this partnership as crucial for the energy transition. Scholz mentioned efforts to combat marine pollution, scientific exchange on renewable energy, and Germany's support regarding Colonia Dignidad. #Chile #Germany #EnergyCooperation #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChange #GreenHydrogen #Lithium #Sustainability #GabrielBoric #OlafScholz #InvestChile #EuropeanTour #Decarbonization
