Last week, MITC attended the American Clean Power Association (ACP) Offshore WINDPOWER Conference and Expo in Boston along with FINSULATE USA and Running Tide. Working to connect Maine companies with national and international markets in the offshore wind industry, MITC met with representatives from Canada, UK, and Norway, Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New York, as well as leaders in the private sector across the United States and abroad. Discussion topics at the conference included the transition of infrastructure from other energy industries to offshore wind, logistics, investor outlook and investment opportunities, grid development/planning, electricity demand, and industry supply chain. #ACPOffshore23

Natural gas infrastructure plays a critical role in the United States, with nearly three million miles of pipelines transporting and delivering almost one-third of the nation’s primary energy supply. These pipelines are essential for meeting our current energy needs and have a key role to play in the transition to a low-carbon future. According to a 2022 International Energy Agency (IEA) report, natural gas and its accompanying infrastructure will be necessary for energy security for several decades.   In a new NZIP white paper, learn about the natural gas industry’s pathways to decarbonization including:  ✅ Reducing fugitive emissions with improved leak detection methodologies   ✅ Upgrading and repairing higher-risk pipelines    ✅ Improving energy efficiency and building optimization initiatives   ✅ Integrating low-carbon gases with the existing infrastructure       With collaboration, investment, and technological advancements, the existing infrastructure can be upgraded and expanded to contribute to low-carbon, low-cost energy systems of the future – while continuing to be a reliable source of energy today.  Read the white paper here: https://lnkd.in/gev72mKP

Exciting times for SEYSES! Today, we had the honor of participating at RE Texas in Houston. The event couldn’t have come at a better time, as just yesterday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued its much-anticipated Regional Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation Rule. This new rule promises to bring much-needed planning certainty to the development of the US transmission grid, addressing a critical bottleneck in the energy transition. The atmosphere was buzzing with optimism as our Global VP of Operations, Ramón Charlo Gómez (left), and Global CEO, George Berczely (right), engaged in fruitful discussions with both local and international EPC companies about upcoming construction projects. From SEYSES we are excited to contribute to the US energy transition and support the growth of renewable energy infrastructure. Together, we’re powering a sustainable future! 👏 #SEYSES #REPlusTexas #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition

Listed as a prime example of how to achieve commercial success in the clean energy industry, Eavor was featured in an opinion piece that discusses successes and challenges in achieving net-zero. https://lnkd.in/gTg7xiD8 #Eavor #EnergyForEavor #Geoenergy #NextGenerationGeoenergy #NextGenGeothermal4real #TheFutureEconomy

Today, Piotr Kus, ENTSOG, joined the 10th edition of the European Commission's Energy Infrastructure Forum, and actively participated in the high-level policy session on fast-tracking towards the EU’s net zero energy infrastructure.   Discussions centered on #infrastructure planning for gas and electricity to support the ongoing decarbonisation efforts, where ENTSOG’s contributions to the exchanges allowed us to emphasise the following key points and challenges to be addressed 👇   📍 Energy System Integration is at core of the work, evidenced in the ongoing cooperation with ENTSO-E and once established – ENNOH. 📍 In #TYNDP 2024, projects submitted show important trend of significant increase of #H2 projects. 📍 Need to plan and think together to enhance the interlinkages and synergies between electricity, H2 and gas systems to speed up decarbonisation process. 📍 Futureproofing new infrastructure as much as possible. #Repurposing existing infrastructure will develop this grid in the most cost-efficient and quick way. 📍 #H2 investments need to be taken now. Support investment decisions with a clear, robust framework.   Many thanks to Kadri Simson, Commissioner for Energy, for the organisation of these exchanges.

As the U.S.’s energy future remains clouded by economic, environmental and political uncertainty, public natural gas utilities have proven to be an integral part of our energy infrastructure, balancing security, efficiency and affordability. However, as APGA President & CEO Dave Schryver explains in his latest op-ed in RealClearEnergy with limited resources, not-for-profit, community-owned utilities need public support to continue being a source of stability. Through continued investment, policymakers can build on the recently-enacted Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization grant program to secure a robust, forward-thinking national energy strategy going forwards.
