There are no backup planets. Here is what we are doing: As we look towards 2050, we at Urania are committed to evolving into a society with a positive impact. The path to sustainability is not just a choice but a necessity. Our journey is challenging. For an entity of our scale, achieving short-term sustainability takes much work. However, we embarked on this path early, and our proactive measures are already making a difference: • The ISO 14001 and 45001 certifications have been instrumental in shaping our long-term vision. • Since 2008, we've been integrating solar energy into our systems. By 2023, we proudly covered approximately 70% of our electricity needs through self-production or feeding back into the grid. • Our investments in cogenerators and high-performance, energy-efficient buildings have significantly reduced our reliance on fossil fuels. But this is just the beginning of our journey. In the coming years, we are dedicating ourselves to profoundly understanding sustainability, particularly in environmental terms. If our commitment to a sustainable future inspires you, follow our journey, and let's make a difference together! #TheMissingPiece #ESG #UraniaWay #NetZero

The macaúba, a Brazilian plant, may be the answer to the fuel of the future. This is according to the Fraunhofer Institute, a globally recognized research organization collaborating with Acelen at the forefront of our project focused on producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel. Though not yet commercially exploited, our macaúba production will be groundbreaking in every aspect. We are merging agriculture with industry and positioning Brazil as a key player in the development of an international sustainable supply chain. The cultivation of macaúba will adhere to the best agricultural and environmental practices, promoting carbon capture in the plantations and minimizing CO2 emissions from the initial seed stage through to the final fuel product. We aim to address the raw material challenge for the future with a plant that has the potential to produce more fuel per hectare than any other renewable source. By 2035, Acelen is projected to rank among the world’s most competitive and sustainable renewable fuel producers. We anticipate surpassing the production of 1 billion liters of renewable diesel and SAF annually.

The City of Toronto's net-zero strategy has set Toronto on an ambitious path to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2040. To achieve this, the City is leading by example, diverting organics from landfill and turning it into compost where it is used to produce renewable energy from biogas at City facilities. The two completed renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities collectively reduce more than 16,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions each year and can processes approximately 130,000 tonnes of organic waste per year to generate RNG.   We will be at the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas next week in Dana Point, California to discuss RNG project development including how other municipalities across North America can leverage the model the City of Toronto has deployed to implement sustainable energy in their communities and enable a circular economy.   More about the projects: https://lnkd.in/e3agjhHW

GreenGo announces it has received approval for an advanced agrovoltaic plant in Sicily The Soparita project, in the municipality of Vizzini, Catania province, #sicily , with a nominal #capacity of 8.5 MW, represents the first plant entirely developed and managed by GreenGo Srl as an IPP (Independent Power Producer) and one of the first application cases in #italy of advanced #agrivoltaics . GreenGo has thus far achieved a track record of 250 MW of authorised projects, including not only the permits issued but also the authorisation procedures successfully concluded at the Services Conference (Conferenza dei Servizi): 8 #photovoltaic plants and a stand-alone #bess Storage plant. An additional 156 MW of #solarpower that have already obtained positive EIAs and will reach RTB in the first half of 2024. “We have been waiting for this moment with trepidation” said Fabio Domenico Amico, Business Development Director and member of GreenGo's Board of Directors. “We were among the first to believe in advanced agrivoltaics, proposing the first projects with tracking systems at a height of more than two metres above ground level as early as 2021 to allow for the widest compatibility with agricultural production. Today, thanks to the final approval of the PNRR's Call for Proposals for advanced agri-voltaics by the EU, we have gained an interesting competitive advantage on our RTB Ready to Build projects.” https://lnkd.in/gZP6ZuRc #solarenergy #solarplant #solarinstallation #renewableenergy #renewables #sustainablefuture #sustainability #europe #greengo

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌱✨ In 2022, we demonstrated unwavering commitment to sustainability by taking bold strides towards decarbonization and emission reduction. 🇳🇴 Our factory in Myre, Norway, led the way by replacing a natural gas boiler with an electric one for steam production. This switch significantly curtailed scope 1 emissions 🏭 🇩🇰 Meanwhile, our Danish facility in Brande adopted a localized approach, transitioning to local district heating to warm their offices. 🌡 🇨🇷 BioMar Costa Rica embarked on an enlightening energy monitoring venture. The result? A finely tuned energy consumption system, meticulously crafted for optimal feed production processes. 💡💡 #aquaculture #aquafeed #fishfeed #aquaculturefeed

“Renewable energy and Nature: How do we make room for both?” - This was the central question of yesterday's conference organized by Green Power Danmark. Here is what I learned: 👫 Multi-stakeholder engagement is key to find suitable, multi-purpose solutions to expand renewable energy supply whilst not compromising Nature in Denmark. Broader stakeholder involvement might be time-consuming in the project design, but reduces the risks of lawsuits and increases the level of acceptance in the local communities when building renewable energy parks. 💡 Leading companies are developing innovative solutions and alternatives to cater for a Both / And approach. One example is Skovgaard Energy who builds renewable energy parks protected by cameras and AI, instead of fencing off the areas. This decreases operating costs, increases safey and allows wild animals to move around freely, improving connectivity of areas. 🌳 National regulation of §3 areas prevent many developers to invest in biodiversity measures when designing and maintaining their renewable energy parks on leased grounds, as they risk a commercial devaluation of the land when biodiversity improves, and the land gets protected status. A thorough re-think from a legal perspective can really increase opportunities for a co-existence of renewable energy and nature. I am already now looking forward to next year's event!
