Discover how Ocean Power Technologies is making strides towards profitability, with a significant increase in revenue and improving gross margins, in Shawn Severson's latest research note on their 4QFY24 results #OPTT #Sustainability #EquityResearch #WTR #WaterTowerResearch

This short video presentation is well worth a watch. It highlights the challenges of reuse of building materials but also the solutions being worked and of course the need to design for sustainable decommissioning. #planfortheendatthebeginning #sustainabledevelopment #sustainablewastemanagement https://lnkd.in/epG5nwbe

The DfT Science Advisory Council has released a new paper exploring the crucial link between land use and transport planning! 🏘️ 🚌 This paper, stemming from a meeting with external experts, delves into the scientific evidence supporting these policies and their real-world implementation. It highlights key recommendations, including the need for better visibility of successful case studies showcasing sustainable development principles and the potential of triple access planning. #transportplanning #landuse #sustainabledevelopment

🌍 The Vision for a fossil-free aggregate industry by 2045🌍 Yesterday, CheckProof's COO, Linn Karlsson was invited to participate in a panel discussion at SBMI, Sveriges Bergmaterialindustri (the Swedish Association for the Aggregate Industry) as they presented their updated climate road map. The event addressed some of the most pressing topics in the journey toward a sustainable future, including: 💡The importance of collaboration across the value chain to meet climate goals. 💰Climate-friendly solutions should be financially attractive to drive immediate and long-term change. 💻The role of accessible data in setting and achieving emission reduction targets. ♻️Tackling indirect emissions through optimized maintenance and digitalization. 👷The need for strong leadership in ensuring climate strategies are integrated into daily operations. The day was full of insightful discussions and actionable takeaways with a special mention to Linn's fellow panelists: ABT-bolagen's Jonas Alterteg, NCC's Patrik Österberg, and Skanska's Gustaf Werner And also to PhD researcher, Ida Karlsson from Chalmers who spoke of her research on how to implement climate-friendly practices across the construction materials industry. 🌱 To top it off, the event was wrapped up by Housing and Infrastructure Minister, Andreas Carlson. This was significant as it was widely agreed that to achieve our common goal and vision of a fossil-free aggregate industry, everyone needs to be a part of the solution, from the government to the companies implementing the change. Thank you to Lisa Sennström and Mårten Sohlman at SBMI for organizing a great event. 🚀 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #HeavyIndustry #DigitalTransformation #Leadership CheckProof #Linn Karlsson #SBMI

It has been an eventful weekend in Gothenburg! Among the highlights, we proudly welcomed Laura Maersk, the world’s first container ship powered by green methanol, to the Port of Gothenburg. “Already today, many of the customers importing and exporting via Gothenburg have chosen lower-emission ocean transport enabled by green fuels* and thereby reduced the greenhouse gas footprint in their supply chain. With the arrival of Laura Maersk on a weekly basis, we are now connecting Gothenburg to a green corridor in Northern Europe and giving Swedish-based customers direct access to the World’s first methanol-enabled container vessel,” says Birna Odefors, Area Managing Director Nordics at A.P. Moller Maersk. Laura Maersk is the first vessel in Maersk's major initiative to use renewable methanol as a ship fuel. The shipping company has an additional 20+ methanol-powered ships on order for delivery between 2024 and 2027. Ports play a crucial role as enablers in the transition to sustainable shipping, and the Port of Gothenburg has been working systematically and long-term to create conditions and incentives. One key part is securing the supply of renewable fuels, and the port aims to become Scandinavia's largest hub for renewable energy. Renewable methanol is seen as a key component in the fuel mix.

"Once the heart of the German coal and steel industry, the Ruhr Region has a bold objective: to become the 'greenest industrial region in the world'. Boasting over 5 million residents, Ruhr is a role model, balancing the relationship between civic well-being and economic vitality. Towards Germany's 2045 climate neutral objective, the Regionalverband Ruhr is redefining itself as a pioneer of 21st-century civic administration. With help from one mutual technology platform, the 53 municipalities, such as Stadt Dortmund, Stadt Essen and Stadt Duisburg, will let data-driven decisions support the chartering of a new course over the next five years."

☝ From Plus Energy Buildings (PEBs) to #ClimateNeutral Districts 🗓️ On 6 November, #ICLEIMember #Graz 🇦🇹 will host professionals from all over Europe to discuss #PEB solutions and experiences of the last years. 🗣Exchange with experts from ICLEI Europe, JOANNEUM RESEARCH, VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND, FH Technikum Vienna and many others about what potential PEBs hold for advancing the #decarbonisation of #cities and whether PEBs are the way to #ClimateNeutralCities. Highlights on the agenda include: 🏗 Site Visit to Taggerwerk Take a tour of Graz's former industrial quarter of Taggerwerk, which is to become climate neutral and turn into a vibrant living quarter solidifying Graz's (AT) role as Climate Pioneer. Key part of the transition of the quarter is the EXCESS PEB, a former feed production silo, turned positive energy building with the help of award-winning multi-functional facade elements. ⏩ The path to Climate Neutral Districts Learn about different tools, roadmaps and measures to decarbonise districts. We will look at Plus Energy Buildings as a nucleus of Climate Neutral Districts, explore the role of #digitaltools and paint a picture of a #climatefriendly #future by moving from building to district to city level. 💡 More information: https://lnkd.in/edP6pTQ8 ✏ Registration: https://lnkd.in/eY_nWYK9
