Finding ways to decarbonise the ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors of our economy, such as long-distance transport and industrial manufacturing, will be a crucial element in Australia’s path towards net-zero. But how can this be done? At EE Australia, we convert clean, renewable energy from wind and solar farms into sustainable products such as green hydrogen or e-methanol, a process known as ‘Power-to-X (PtX)’. These products can then be used to electrify important industrial processes, such as steel or cement production, or to sustainably fuel shipping, aviation, and other forms of long-distance transport. To illustrate the powers of PtX, here, an excellent model created by our colleague Alexander Reumert shows how e-methanol produced at European Energy’s PtX Kassø plant can be used to greenify shipping. As we scale up our PtX capabilities here in Australia, we’re excited to see plants like this contribute to the country’s clean energy transition! #powertox #renewableenergy #greenhydrogen

🌍♻️ Proud to announce: Recorra is powered by 100% renewable electricity! 🌟   In honour of World Earth Day, I wanted to highlight the leaps and bounds Recorra has made to minimise our environmental footprint. 🌱   For the past few years, we've secured REGO certificates (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) for all our offices, which ensure that the energy powering our operations comes from renewable sources like solar, wind, or biofuel. They're regulated by OFGEM, the UK's energy regulator, meaning they're greenwashing-proof.   By investing in REGO certificates, we're not just offsetting our energy consumption; we're actively contributing to the growth of renewable energy in the grid. This initiative promotes increased production by reducing the demand for fossil fuels.   But we're not stopping there. We're taking direct action by installing solar panels at our facilities to power our sorting machinery, further reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.   Stay tuned this week as we share more about our commitment to environmental sustainability across all our channels!   🌎💚 #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EarthDay2024 #Recorra

🌟 Today (18.October 2024) marks a significant milestone as Germany finally embarks on its journey to phase out oil heating systems. 🛑 Starting today, oil heating systems in Germany can only be renewed if they are gradually operated with biofuels according to a legally defined schedule. This change is expected to accelerate the shift towards sustainable heating solutions. 📊 Did you know that Germany has 5.2 million installed oil heating systems, the highest number in the EU? Despite the push for renewable energy, 55,000 new oil heating systems were installed in the first half of this year alone. For comparison: in the second largest heating systems market in Europe - France - it were 2,000! This highlights the urgent need for a transition to greener alternatives in Germany. 🌍 As we look ahead, it's clear that the demand for sustainable heating solutions will grow. At ÖkoFEN Forschungs- und EntwicklungsgesmbH, we are ready to meet this challenge with our cutting-edge pellet heating systems and heat pumps. Let's work together to create a cleaner, more sustainable heating sector. #bethechange

"Australia is positioning itself as a global leader in the production of clean ammonia, driven by its renewable energy resources and strategic focus on net-zero emissions. As industries like shipping and agriculture look to reduce carbon footprints, ammonia is emerging as a key solution due to its versatility, particularly for industries that are difficult to electrify. One of the companies spearheading this effort is Hexagon Energy Materials, with its flagship WAH2 project in Western Australia." 💡 Read about how we’re preparing to drive the #EnergyTransition and explore the potential of low-carbon #ammonia production in the Asia-Pacific region. 🌏 Rueben Hale from Energy News Bulletin covers Hexagon Energy here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gG2W3tCN #CleanAmmonia #Hydrogen #NetZero #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy

Just read an insightful piece by Josu Jon Imaz de Repsol in La Vanguardia about the importance of the industrial sector and its role in economic stability. I couldn't agree more with his point on the value industry brings by creating stable, well-paid jobs—industries, especially energy, are vital to our economic future. https://lnkd.in/du-XDQvm La Voz De Galicia S.A. [online article] However, I believe that energy independence, especially for industrial sectors, can (and should be) be accelerated through renewable heat solutions. By adopting the right decentralized renewable heat strategies, industries can reduce reliance on external energy sources (fossil fuels) and strengthen national economic resilience. On the topic of decarbonization, while I agree that a balanced approach is essential, the transition to cleaner energy can—and should—be faster than many traditional energy companies are prepared for. Several renewable heat technologies are already mature and ready to scale. With the right support, industries can begin implementing them now, accelerating both economic growth and environmental sustainability. The key is not to see this as an either/or debate but to recognize that clean energy solutions, particularly in renewable heat, offer industries a chance to thrive in a decarbonized future. Let’s connect if you're interested in exploring how renewable heat solutions can transform your business. #RenewableEnergy #IndustrialDecarbonization #EnergyIndependence #CleanEnergySolutions #Sustainability #RenewableHeat #EnergyTransition #GreenIndustry

Ecological transformation as a way of accelerating your energy independence With fluctuating oil prices and Europe looking to move away from fossil fuels, many industries, towns and cities are wondering how best to achieve energy independence. At Veolia Belgium & Luxembourg, we haven't waited for the question to arise before developing realistic and effective solutions that increase the importance of renewable energies in your energy mix: ✅ Flexcity adds value to electrical installations and allows companies to take advantage of the volatility of energy prices by favouring renewable energies. For electro-intensive manufacturers, for example, this has become crucial. By adapting their production processes to the amount of energy available on the grid and energy price fluctuations, they gain a considerable competitive advantage! 👉 www.flexcity.energy ✅ Setting up or participating in a district heating network gives access to renewable, sustainable energy. It can be powered by decarbonised local energy such as geothermal energy (as is the case with the Usquare project, recently covered by the press 🎥📰) or other untapped local energy sources such as residual heat from industrial furnaces or data centers. https://lnkd.in/eE_gkg_x 💡 District heating networks are one of the cornerstones of Europe's energy and climate policy. To speed up their deployment, we hope that federal or regional support (such as green certificates) will be put in place in the near future. Linking the granting of building permits to the requirement of being connected to a heating network could also encourage their development. ✅ Installing a biomass cogeneration unit allows the local production of electricity and heat from agricultural and wood residues or industrial by-products. ✅ Biogas production units help to produce green energy through anaerobic digestion, as is the case at the UBE/DP World site in Antwerp. https://lnkd.in/eitAb244 ⏩ The solutions to speed up the ecological transformation exist and can be unlocked quickly #GreenUp We are ready to respond effectively to your goals of energy self-sufficiency and to propose cost-effective and ingenious mechanisms to offset the instability of renewable energy production in Europe.
