The Wagner Companies has actively been working toward implementing more green business practices since 2004, when they first participated in the Queensland Focus on Energy program. As a result, they have upgraded to more energy-efficient lighting; and hot-water boiler and air compressor systems. They also offer products and components that qualify for LEED credits. But […]
By Wily Salim, LEC Partners Special to The Digest Approximately 71% of Earth’s surface is covered by water, which makes shipping a vital mode of transportation. The earliest known seafaring can be traced back to 6,000 BC, when ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, began using boats to transport goods and people across water bodies. […]
OTC Direct created a services arm, Base Climate, that leverages proven project development innovation to simplify and de-risk investments in SAFc carbon credits. SAF project decarbonization value potential not matched by deployed pre-construction venture capital. Most projects are stalled. <250 SAF projects announced; >$2b deployed pre-construction; <50x investment needed to hit targets. At the same […]
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic evaluation of the environmental impact of a product through its entire life cycle. Many cleantech startups and companies cannot afford the time and cost that is required for an ISO-compliant LCA. Boundless Impact follows ISO standards, but completes reports in 4-8 weeks, translating the Life Cycle Assessment into […]
Oak Ridge National Lab, in partnership with the US Department of Energy, aims to collect, review, and distribute the best available and citable global data on current biomass uses, and potential future availability as consistent as possible; at the same time, developing effective methods for systematizing, cataloging and harmonizing inventory data from varying sources and […]
Carbon is the foundation of our material world, says LanzaTech CTO Rob Conrado in these slides presented at ABLC 2024. It’s in the products we use, the planes we fly, the clothes we wear. Where our carbon comes from will define our climate future. Good news, the world has enough carbon above ground to make […]
By Steve Weiss, co-founder of Grey Heron, and long-time member of the Due Diligence Wolfpack* Capital is the fuel for building your business – and you can get it, just like you keep achieving milestones and adding partners. But fundraising is often harder, longer and more uncertain than you’d like – and you don’t want […]
By Patrick Serfass and Adam Comora Special to The Digest A recent study released by the journal Science supported by research conducted by Carbon Mapper and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory revealed that methane emissions from landfills are greater than previously thought – but also that their abatement represents a significant opportunity in our fight […]
Dimethyl-ether is a single molecule that can be produced from a wide range of renewable feedstocks. It can be blended with LPG and used in existing applications. It is chemically similar to propane and butane, and is a gas at room temperature and pressure. Like LPG it is easily transported as a liquid in pressurized […]
A decarbonization path for the LPG sector continues to increase in importance as a response to political forces which affect regulatory survivability and access to capital. Global North LPG marketers are responding to the lack of green LPG by getting involved in upstream green supply development. Global South countries are looking for ways to unlock […]
