Heat as a Service transforms sustainability challenges into a seamless, cost-effective, and collective approach for renewable heat and/or power generation. Bioenergy Andijk, as seen in the video below, is a great example of Heat as a Service. At Bioenergy Andijk, multiple greenhouses collectively purchase renewable heat generated by the heat and power plant. The horticulture companies improve their sustainability and remain focused on their core business, while HoSt operates and maintains the renewable heat and power plant. 🌱 Find out how to get access to renewable heat, a reduction of your carbon footprint, and increased sustainability → https://lnkd.in/dnYqFxk3 #esco #renewableenergy #energyasaservice #renewableheat

From organic waste to renewable energy 🌿 We've made a 10-year agreement with Alberta-based renewable energy producer GrowTEC to supply our New Brunswick operations, including our Saint John refinery, with carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) from a family-owned potato farm near Lethbridge. With this agreement, up to 60,000 gigajoules of RNG - produced from organic waste such as potato peelings and manure - will be supplied to our operations via pipeline annually, where it will offset conventional natural gas amounts. Together with future opportunities, these developments mark another important step in our decarbonization journey. We believe renewable natural gas provides a powerful opportunity for the efficient decarbonization of our operations – as we make strides toward our goal of reducing emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.

🌻 Arrives from France the first module #agrivoltaic, bifacial and semi-transparent to have obtained a certification TÜV Rheinland. Feedgy, a company specialized in the optimization of solar systems, presented its novelty at the last Energaïa fair in Montpellier. In the world of renewable technologies, the agrivoltaic – that is the combination of photovoltaic and agriculture in a symbiotic relationship – is gaining more and more space. Just think that in the European Union alone, 14 Member States have incorporated solar energy in the strategic plans of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). A large group included France and Italy. And although the sector still faces several regulatory, bureaucratic and social challenges, it is undeniable that it is now channeled into an exponential trend. With an estimated average annual growth rate of about 10.1%. #SENnews #environmnent #globalwarming #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainabledevelopment

🌞 Agrivoltaics: Unleashing Solar Power for a Sustainable Future 🌱 Discover how covering just 1% of agricultural land with innovative agrivoltaic systems could exceed the EU's 2030 photovoltaic goals, contributing to the ambitious REPowerEU plan. However, hurdles like the lack of a clear EU definition and challenges in electricity production and biodiversity preservation exist. Let's explore how the EU Solar Energy Strategy is paving the way for incentives and community engagement to overcome these barriers. #SolarEnergy #Agrivoltaics #RenewableFuture #Sentnet #Skygre

🌍🌱 Empowering a Sustainable Future through Plantation and Energy Innovation 🌱🌍 Today, we stand at a pivotal moment where the convergence of plantation initiatives and sustainable energy solutions offers a powerful path forward. By integrating reforestation efforts with renewable energy technologies, we can address critical environmental challenges while meeting global energy demands. 🌳 Plantation for Sustainability: Trees are vital for carbon sequestration, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity enhancement. Through strategic plantation projects, we not only combat climate change but also create sustainable biomass resources that can be harnessed for clean energy. 🔋 Innovative Energy Solutions: Advances in renewable energy, from solar and wind to biomass energy, are transforming our energy landscape. Utilizing biomass from plantation efforts provides a sustainable and efficient energy source, driving us towards a cleaner, greener future. 🤝 Collaborative Impact: The fusion of plantation and energy initiatives showcases the innovative approaches needed to tackle today’s environmental and energy challenges. By investing in these integrated solutions, we pave the way for a sustainable and resilient future. Let’s champion the integration of plantation projects with renewable energy solutions. Together, we can plant the seeds for a brighter, more sustainable world. #SustainableFuture #GreenEnergy #PlantationPower #RenewableInnovation 🌿⚡️

New Power for All report on how distributed renewable energy can decarbonize the global agricultural system while building resiliency and creating a just transition. Distributed renewable energy can help achieve SDG2 and SDG7. Learn about the solar technologies that can make a huge difference, five to thrive.

In recent months Grant Engineering ULC has transitioned several of its distribution lorries to be fueled by renewable biofuel alternative Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a move which is helping Grant reduce CO2 carbon emissions by up to 90%. At present five, 18-tonne lorries are being fueled by HVO biofuel to deliver Grant’s innovative home heating technologies to merchants throughout Ireland. As HVO biofuel is a complete drop-in fuel replacement for diesel and kerosene, the lorries did not require any modifications to be made before making the change. This move further reinforces Grant’s commitment to a sustainable future and its continued focus as a renewable heating company on decarbonisation within its products and operations.

Mopabloem BV and Bosman Van Zaal Collaborate on Electric Boilers for Greenhouses Mopabloem, a leader in greenhouse horticulture, has partnered with Bosman Van Zaal to install two electric boilers. The project aims to optimize energy costs and contribute to sustainability. Key Features: Electric boilers have a capacity of 1200 kW for load balancing and 1000 kW for regulating solar panels. The technology became operational in July 2023 and has a lifespan of 30 years. Goals: The initiative is part of Mopabloem's broader goal to rely entirely on renewable energy sources and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
