~Company advances clean energy program with the installation of solar array and linear generators in California’s Inland Empire~

~Partnering with PowerFlex and Mainspring Energy, Lineage’s Colton Agua Mansa facility installs two linear generators, and among the first of its kind to integrate a linear generator with solar panels~

~This announcement is part of Lineage’s broader energy reduction strategy through which the Company commits to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040~

NOVI, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#onelineage--Lineage Logistics, LLC, the world’s largest and most innovative temperature-controlled industrial REIT and logistics solutions provider, today announced the installation of groundbreaking clean energy advancements at its facility in Colton, CA to establish the first facility in the Lineage network to generate 100% of its energy consumption on-site.



This announcement comes in tandem with Lineage’s commitment to becoming net-zero carbon by 2040 as a signatory of The Climate Pledge, representing the Company’s industry-leading charge for a more sustainable cold chain.

Aligned with President Biden’s announcement on October 13, 2021 to invest in a secure and sustainable supply chain in the United States, Lineage has installed a 3.3MW solar array and 460kW of linear generators at its Colton Agua Mansa facility in California’s Inland Empire that, combined, will produce 100% of the facility’s energy consumption on a net basis. These advancements are indicative of Lineage’s continued prioritization of energy reduction, which started with the introduction of the Company’s responsible energy reduction roadmap in 2015.

“Lineage always strives to be responsible leaders in the communities where we live and work, and our commitment to advancing the future of renewable energy at our locations is no exception,” said Chris Thurston, head of renewable energy projects for Lineage. “Lineage is already a model for the industry with our innovative development and deployment of industry-leading technologies. Responsibly creating our own energy is an important sustainability milestone, and I am excited to see how this achievement further inspires our commitment to carbon neutrality by 2040.”

Lineage partnered with PowerFlex, a national provider of renewable energy infrastructure, to install the rooftop solar array in Colton – the second largest solar array in the Company’s leading global network of temperature-controlled warehouses. The facility has 8,426 individual solar panels that will generate an estimated 5.4 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually. The Colton array is one of several onsite solar installations that PowerFlex is supporting across Lineage’s distribution centers in the United States.

“As Lineage’s long-term partner in renewable energy, we are incredibly proud to share and help execute their bold vision for impactful solar solutions across their extensive network,” said PowerFlex Director Danny Ptak. “The onsite solar project in Colton demonstrates Lineage’s ongoing commitment to deploying innovative solutions to ensure that its operations are as sustainable as humanly possible.”

The onsite linear generators, a new technology launched in March by Mainspring Energy, create electricity using a low-temperature reaction of fuel and air. Distinct from an engine or fuel cell, a linear generator directly converts motion into electricity using chemical or thermal energy. The units ramp up and down usage to enable maximum use of the building’s solar array, ensuring reliability and optimal use of renewable power at all times. This increases the site’s resiliency by reducing grid dependency and lowers operating costs. Lineage’s Colton location is the first facility in the world with two linear generators, and the first of its kind to integrate a linear generator with solar panels. The two generators were installed in October.

“Commercial and industrial buildings account for more than a third of electricity usage in the United States and play an essential role in the energy transition,” said Mainspring CEO Shannon Miller. “Mainspring designed the linear generator to accelerate this transition by delivering resilient, sustainable, and affordable generation that is also ideal for pairing with solar and other renewables. We are proud to partner with Lineage, an industry leader and pioneer in deploying innovative energy technologies.”

In December 2020, Lineage’s increased its commitment to energy reduction by implementing new and innovative technologies. In 2021, Lineage was recognized by the United States Department of Energy for Outstanding Accomplishments in Energy Efficiency for the third year in a row and the Department of Energy’s Better Plants Challenge with a commitment to reduce energy intensity by 25% by 2024.

Intent to purchase an EV among U.S. consumers increases dramatically when provided the option to wirelessly charge

More education and experience with EVs will produce more EV owners, too

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new research study conducted by TideWatch Partners, an independent market research firm, finds that wireless charging significantly increases the likelihood of a consumer purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) in the U.S. For those already intending to purchase an EV, their likelihood to purchase increased 40% – from 60% to 84% – when presented with wireless charging as an alternative to plugging in. The increase was even greater – nearly 70% – for people less certain about purchasing an EV.



The study, commissioned by WiTricity, aimed to uncover what it would take to accelerate the adoption of EVs among U.S. car owners. It is based on results of a September 2021 survey of more than 1,000 U.S.-based adult EV Owners, “EV Intenders” (those intending to purchase an EV in the next 18 months), and “EV Considerers” (those intending to purchase an EV in the next 5 years).

Over the summer, the U.S. joined other countries in proposing EV policies aimed to fight climate change by announcing a goal that half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2030 be electric. However, the U.S. has some work to do: according to a recent Pew Research Center survey, only 7% of U.S. adults currently have an electric or hybrid vehicle. WiTricity’s study evaluated attitudes and orientations toward EVs, and EV charging in particular, to determine barriers for consumer EV adoption and opportunities for automakers to increase sales of EVs.

The study found that education, experience, and better charging options will propel EV adoption amongst U.S. consumers.

Wireless Charging Significantly Increases Likelihood of EV Purchase

Eighty-one percent (81%) of all consumers surveyed are very or extremely interested in EV wireless charging. Respondents agree that wireless charging makes EV charging easier (72%) and more convenient (68%), and almost 2 in 3 (63%) say they’d like to see wireless charging in public EV charging stations.

Automakers looking to compete for share of the growing EV market will need to differentiate – and EV wireless charging is one way to do so, as evidenced by:

  • EV Considerers, who need the most convincing to purchase an EV, indicated that their intent to purchase increased almost 70% (from 35% to 59%) if wireless charging were an option, significantly improving the odds for EV adoption.
  • EV Intenders’ intent to purchase in the next 18 months increased by 40% (from 60% to 84%).
  • EV Owners were already very likely to purchase an EV again (91%), but 96% of them say that they are extremely or very interested in an EV equipped for wireless charging.

“The research shows consumers want wireless charging for their EVs,” said WiTricity CEO Alex Gruzen. “Automakers can sell more EVs when equipped with our proven wireless charging technology. Let’s improve the EV ownership experience, remove a real barrier to EV adoption, and welcome in the next wave of new EV owners.”

Experience and Education is Necessary Amongst EV Considerers and Intenders

Battery range anxiety is common among people who don’t own an EV – 41% of EV Considerers are worried that they won’t be able to go as far as they need to on a single charge. Those who have made the leap to EV ownership are 50% less likely to share that concern. EV Owners are also 50% less likely to worry about the time it takes to charge. EV Owners report driving an average of 97 miles/day, which is well within the battery range of today’s EVs, and most (74%) charge at home.

Further, once people purchase an EV, they love them. EV Owners have a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 82%, are satisfied with their car, and 81% are likely to recommend one to others. The virtual unanimity among EV owners in their interest for wireless charging will become another benefit for them to point to as they champion their cars to others. GenX owners are even more passionate about their EV and are 10% more likely to recommend their EV than the average owner.

Charging issues overall are the major barriers for EV adoption, and wireless charging can significantly help to reduce those barriers. The availability of wireless charging increases purchase intent, will bring new owners to EVs, and will help expand the market beyond today’s early adopters.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Business Council on Climate Change (BC3), a multi-sector partnership dedicated to incubating, scaling, and sharing world-leading solutions to address climate change, has launched a major new effort to catalyze carbon removal investments by the corporate sector.


Carbon removals--the removal or sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere through natural or engineered solutions--are an increasingly important strategy alongside emissions reductions for meeting global climate goals. Carbon removals can also deliver broader ecological benefits and bring socio-economic advantages to local communities, including those that are most impacted by climate change and ecosystem loss.

“We need bold and immediate action to meet the urgency of the climate crisis,” said BC3 Executive Director Maura McKnight. “Collaboration by the corporate sector in the growing carbon removals space can spur the innovation needed to bring it to scale and maximize its impact.”

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in launching its new Net-Zero Corporate Standard last week, emphasized that companies will need to neutralize residual emissions through carbon removals to reach net zero. A number of corporate climate leaders, including several BC3 members, have already included it in their strategies, but the market is complex and immature, and many companies are just starting to explore it. In September, BC3 released a Quick Start Guide to Carbon Removals, in partnership with member companies Atlassian and Autodesk and subject experts Carbon180 and Anthesis, to help companies learn about removals and the market, and kick-start their investments.

BC3, which has a history of bringing members together to create innovative aggregate purchasing for solar energy and invest in soil carbon sequestration research, is also convening a carbon removals buyers forum. The forum brings together members, outside experts, and other companies interested in expanding their sustainability investments to foster collaborative learning, problem solving and action. Coordinated corporate investments and inclusion of carbon removals in companies’ sustainability strategies will send a strong “demand signal” from the corporate sector to help scale the removals market and strengthen emerging companies and technologies.

“​​BC3 members have the critical opportunity to launch the carbon removal industry with early investments that will bring down the cost for everyone, leading to a prosperous economy that removes more carbon than it emits,” said Peter Minor, Director of Science & Innovation at Carbon180. “Carbon180 looks forward to working with early leaders like BC3 member companies, and building the policy landscape needed to support them.”

“In contributing to this effort, Anthesis is delighted for the opportunity to support newcomers to the carbon removal space to quickly get up to speed so they can focus their time and energy on developing meaningful investment strategies,” said Emma Armstrong, Executive Director, Anthesis North America. “This is well aligned with Anthesis’ mission to help organizations to activate sustainable performance.”

Finance leaders confident in economy; still concerned about pandemic, workforce shortages and supply chain disruptions


CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to a new survey by Grant Thornton LLP, 57% of chief financial officers (CFOs) have made it a priority to invest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts since the start of 2020, with 23% saying that ESG investments are much more important for their organizations than they were prior to 2020.

According to the 2021 Q3 CFO Survey, while some companies are waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide its anticipated disclosure regulations for ESG matters, many companies are looking beyond just compliance — 17% of CFOs see ESG as a fundamental driver of financial success and another 69% say that ESG is either a top consideration or equally as important as financial success. Just 14% believe that ESG is a minor consideration or that financial results are the only thing that matters.

“It was transformational when, two years ago, the Business Roundtable changed its statement on the purpose of a corporation from existing principally to serve shareholders to one that benefits all stakeholders, including consumers, employees and communities,” says Jim Burton, partner and leader of ESG & Sustainability services for Grant Thornton. “Today, CFOs and other business leaders increasingly see ESG as a key value driver that’s central to their mission and success.”

When asked about the biggest challenges facing their business, respondents’ concerns about ESG reporting and disclosures jumped from 13% in the second quarter to 27% in the third. When polled about the desired end state of their ESG program, almost half (49%) of senior finance executives say they aim to be consistent with peers and stakeholder expectations, while 42% aspire to be known as market leaders and innovators. Perhaps most telling, nearly 8 out of 10 (78%) CFOs report their companies are integrating ESG expectations into both performance evaluations and compensation.

ESG compliance and reporting a growing concern

The maturity and reach of ESG evaluation and reporting is uneven, however. When asked about the extent to which they evaluate and report on ESG, only 18% of CFOs report across their entire value chain. Thirty-six percent of CFOs say they report on their own operations and immediate upstream/downstream, vendors, suppliers and customers; while 29% confined reporting to their own operations. A surprising 17% say they do not currently report on ESG at all.

“Most of those companies that are not currently reporting plan to start within the next two years,” adds Burton. “A company’s impact on society doesn’t end within the operational boundaries — and that’s now more apparent than ever. When you combine increased regulatory requirements with escalating supply chain, market and public pressure, organizations will have to disclose more to compete.”

ESG further complicates the war for talent

According to the survey, ESG is also adding a new layer of complexity to an already challenging employment landscape. When CFOs were asked which stakeholders are pushing their organization to enhance maturity of their ESG programs, employees (42%) were the most commonly cited group, followed by organizational leadership (39%). When ranking the top ESG issues for their organizations, employee retention and development (35%) was at the top of the list. Diversity, equity and inclusion (30%) followed close behind, while employee health and safety (27%) took third place.

“ESG isn’t just something you worry about with investors, customers and regulators,” says Marjorie Whittaker, an SEC Regulatory Matters and ESG & Sustainability managing director at Grant Thornton. “Employees want to work for employers that share their values, embrace diversity and demonstrate real care for their well-being and advancement. It’s going to be an increasingly important differentiator in recruiting and retention — employees are looking to align their values with their paychecks.”

Talent shortages seen to imperil strategies

But ESG is hardly the only concern for CFOs. A strong majority (70%) of respondents are now worried talent shortages jeopardize their ability to meet short-term strategies — up from 64% in Grant Thornton’s second quarter survey. Concern about controlling overall employee benefits costs also increased to 70%, up from 68% in Q2. Meanwhile, plans to return to a full-time in-office culture dropped to 28% from 33%, while plans for a hybrid employment model jumped to 59% from 50%.

When CFOs were asked about their top workforce priorities for the next 12 months, several talent issues topped the list: 49% indicated that attracting and retaining talent was a top priority; 47% saw managing a hybrid workforce as a top priority; 45% claimed maintaining or improving culture was a top priority; and 44% saw addressing employee work-life balance concerns as a top priority.

Economic optimism and expenses on the rise

When polled about the current state of the U.S. economy over the next six months, a majority (69%) of CFOs say they are optimistic. When asked about issues that could imperil their business, CFOs were most concerned about the continuing pandemic (52%), workforce shortages (51%) and supply chain disruptions (48%). On the positive side, another 48% of CFOs anticipate that infrastructure legislation could aid their business.

CFO responses were also scattered across a variety of choices when asked what steps they plan to take to mitigate negative impacts from business disruptions. Fifty-four percent say they plan to develop new or significantly updated disruption scenarios and action plans, while 39% say they are looking to increase investment to bolster output. Just over a third (37%) of CFOs plan to make immediate changes to operating models, while 35% plan to increase focus on cash flow and liquidity.

“The economy presents some immediate opportunities for growth, but the pandemic has taught CFOs that their existing plans to recognize and deal with potential disruptions were inadequate,” says Enzo Santilli, national managing partner of Transformation at Grant Thornton. “Most organizations are implementing new and broader definitions of risk and acting to bolster their resiliency and agility.”

Grant Thornton’s Q3 CFO Survey also found that CFOs are expecting expenses to rise across the board. In fact, 59% expect cybersecurity expenses to increase, while 55% expect IT and digital transformation expenses to rise. Not surprising, just 34% of CFOs expect real estate expenses to go up.

“CFOs are planning to invest in operations to boost growth,” adds Santilli, “but they are also looking to maintain reserves and keep a close eye on cash flow and liquidity.”

Ultimately, the Q3 survey revealed that CFOs are fairly confident that the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue, but workforce concerns and ESG readiness will continue to dominate CFO time and attention.

Bitmain Announces High Efficiency, Carbon Credit Initiative ANTMINER S19 XP as Bitcoin Reaches All Time High

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crusoe Energy Systems Inc. (Crusoe), a Denver-based energy technology company focused on powering computation with stranded energy resources, is proud to receive allocations of the new ANTMINER S19 XP that has a hashrate of 140 TH, which improves the power efficiency by 27% compared to the previous model from premier ASIC manufacturer Bitmain Technologies (Bitmain). This selected batch of the newest release of Bitcoin mining hardware was designed to achieve market leading environmental performance through best in class energy efficiency as well as a carbon offset program to neutralize emissions from the manufacturing process and the first year of operation. When combined with Crusoe’s computing operations powered by otherwise wasted and stranded energy resources like flaring natural gas, Bitmain and Crusoe aim to jointly deliver the world’s most climate-optimized Bitcoin infrastructure and operations.


Bitmain has made initial allocations of the ANTMINER S19 XP 140TH available to a limited number of preferred customers selected on the basis of commitment to environmental operating practices. Crusoe is proud to be among the first customers to access Bitmain’s cutting edge hardware on this basis. Crusoe’s selection for the first production allocations of the ANTMINER S19 XP 140TH, Bitmain’s most powerful ASIC to date, was announced at the World Digital Mining Summit held in Dubai today when Bitmain publicly announced the new model ANTMINER S19 XP 140TH. Bitmain announced that it had purchased carbon credits to offset emissions incurred during production and the first year of operation of these selected units. The resulting hardware is the first carbon credit initiative miners available from the manufacturer. Initial production will have limited availability and is being offered only to five of Bitmain’s longstanding and strategic partners.

Crusoe CEO and Co-Founder, Chase Lochmiller, said, “It is exciting to see the industry rapidly evolving towards environmentally-oriented ways of thinking and operating. Bitcoin mining has historically been conflated with carbon emissions. We believe mining can be leveraged as a tool to help reduce emissions and also accelerate the energy transition, providing critical infrastructure for both the bitcoin network and the future of energy infrastructure. It's great to have partners like Bitmain that have passion for our long term mission to align the future of computing infrastructure with the future of the climate.”

Crusoe mines cryptocurrency in custom engineered modular, mobile data centers. The data centers are deployed directly to energy sources that are otherwise wasted, such as flaring natural gas. The company’s patented Digital Flare Mitigation® technology provides an emission reduction solution by utilizing otherwise wasted flare gas, one of the largest sources of emission from oil production, to power mining operations onsite. In this process, Crusoe is able to significantly reduce uncombusted methane emissions and achieve an estimated 63% reduction in CO2-equivalent emissions compared to continued flaring. Crusoe has prevented more than 1 billion cubic feet of gas flaring and has reduced emissions equivalent to hundreds of thousands of cars.

Irene Gao, Bitmain BD Director of NCSA Region said, “After many years of strategic and long standing partnership, Bitmain is proud to deliver Crusoe early access to the ANTMINER S19 XP, our most energy efficient, powerful and carbon mitigated systems ever. Bitmain is committed to innovation in all regards ranging from design to manufacturing and production. As part of our commitment to positive environmental change, Bitmain is constantly looking for ways to improve our product and the industry as a whole and recognizes the value in offsetting emissions in all areas of mining. Crusoe is a leader in this regard, and we are pleased to partner with them going forward.”

Bitmain is the world leader in ASIC manufacturing for the cryptocurrency industry. Bitmain exhibited their newest generation mining hardware at the World Digital Mining Summit hosted at the Atlantis hotel in Dubai.
