Terrific to see the Australian Government is supporting three new partnerships that will deliver off-grid #renewableenergy to rural and remote communities across Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Vanuatu. One of the new partnerships, delivered by Master Electricians Australia's charity MEA Power Up, will enhance four critical health infrastructure sites in Timor-Leste's Cova-Lima Province, including two medical clinics and two water pumping sites, which will benefit from new solar energy systems. The Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships are part of the Pacific Climate Infrastructure Financing Partnership initiative to expand the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific's climate investments. This announcement brings the total investment under the Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships program to $5.8 million in 13 partnerships across six countries. This includes $3.6 million funded by the Australian Government, with the remaining invested by partners through cash or in-kind contributions. 💡 Learn more about the new partnerships https://lnkd.in/g3Nrfzhm With exceptional solutions, Australia has expertise that spans clean energy, green materials, smart cities, critical minerals, the circular economy, and sustainable mining and agriculture.

Something I love about the NRN business model is its ability to impact the energy transformation in a way that makes it more equitable for everyone - be that our Customers, Partners or Suppliers.

🔊 The 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States #SIDS4, “Charting the course toward resilient prosperity" is approaching and will take place from 27 to 30 May in #AntiguaandBarbuda. The proposed ten-year UN plan puts focus on building #climateresilience and fostering the transition of SIDS towards diversified #green, #blue and #digital #economies. There is need for an international system that allows island businesses to participate in fair #supplychains and #leapfrog to innovative technologies and business models. The outcome document also highlights the importance of SIDS-SIDS and triangular cooperation #SSTC as a mean for enhanced implementation and accelerated progress. Therefore, the Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centres (GN-SEC), covering 35 of 39 SIDS, is a good platform to promote joint learning and exchanges on adapted clean energy solutions, including #renewables #energyefficiency #gridflexibility #storage #electricmobility #greenports. #SIDSGBN #SIDS4 UNIDO Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Central Africa (CEREEAC) SICA Centre for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency #PCREEE Pacific Community-SPC #SIDSDOCK Watch our video: https://lnkd.in/dEh_hHXQ

#GuaranteesofOrigin (GOs) have always been controversial in #Norway. And while some feared the largest GO producer could leave the energy tracking system, the likelihood of Norway quitting GOs has never been lower. Why? We spoke with Lars Ragnar Solberg, Principal Consultant at AFRY Management Consulting, about three main reasons for the changing attitudes of the Norwegian government and industry towards GOs: - The EU is pushing Norway to implement the long-overdue RED II. - The GO system now provides significant income to the Norwegian state. - The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is implemented in Norway and GOs will play an important role in reporting #renewableenergy use.

Brazil, Latin America, and beyond are at a turning point, with $100B+ investment opportunities emerging in renewable energy, sustainable agribusiness, rare earth elements, and climate solutions. But capturing these opportunities takes more than just capital—it requires strategic vision, strong partnerships, and an intentional approach to impact.

We’re excited to announce that IKO is now a proud member of the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC)! 🌱 This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing sustainability initiatives as we look towards 2025. From our Recycled Asphalt Shingle Line in our Hawkesbury plant to installing our third rooftop solar project at our Hagerstown plant, we’re making strides in waste reduction and renewable energy generation. As a member of CAGBC, we’ll collaborate with industry leaders to promote sustainable building practices in the built environment. Together, we’re working towards a more sustainable future! 💪 Click here to read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gVQg4CZc

A good day for Project Greensand and CCS in Europe.   Today, the EU Commission has announced the selection of innovative net-zero projects to receive grants from the EU Innovation Fund. Among the 85 selected projects is Project Greensand operated by INEOS Energy together with the license partners Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden.   Last year Project Greensand demonstrated as a worlds first that CO2 could be transported cross borders to be stored offshore to mitigate climate change. And recently the independent verifier DNV verified that CO2 can be stored safely in Greensand. The good news on Project Greensand being among the selected net-zero projects is a huge acknowledgement of the importance of CCS in general and of the work done by the partners behind Greensand.   The support from the Innovation Fund will be a valuable contribution to our work with Project Greensand and the fulfilment of the ambition to establish the first CO2-storage site within the EU by the end of 2025/start of 2026.

Meet the recipients of the $33.6 million Lower Carbon Grants (LCG) Program Gorgon Fund which will deliver green energy and greentech projects in Western Australia to support a sustainable low carbon future. 🌱 The LCG Gorgon Fund provided funding for large research and innovation activities across industries that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions or test, demonstrate and deploy technologies that support lower carbon projects.

Collaboration is the key to unlocking Australia and Denmark's potential in the green transition. 🌏 "A lot of the challenges that we have already addressed in Denmark are actually, at this very moment, areas where Australian partners are wondering what to do – for example, offshore wind." "In this area, Australia has big potential and big ambitions – and Denmark definitely has a lot to share." Last week, Tilde Hellsten from Danish Energy Agency joined a delegation of Danish companies in Australia, led by Danish Industry, State of Green Denmark and The Trade Council of Denmark in Australia & New Zealand. Hear her insights and takeaways from the week in the video below, exploring how Denmark and Australia can together lead the charge on the green agenda🌱

🌱 With nearly $200 million invested in municipal sustainability projects and over $820 million in new funding from the Government of Canada, 2023-24 has been GMF’s most impactful year to date. However, to reach Canada’s goal of net-zero by 2050, projects also need support from players in the private sector. We’re dedicated to catalyzing even more private investment opportunities forward by supporting projects like the new community energy system in the City of Markham. With a partnership between Enwave Energy Corporation and Mattany Homes, Markham’s geothermal community exemplifies the powerful impact of public-private collaboration: significant reductions in energy use and GHG emissions. 📑 Read our 2023-24 Annual Report to learn more. https://lnkd.in/g57YDwiS
