HOUSTON & SAN FRANCISCO & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Rise Fund, a global impact investing platform managed by alternative asset firm TPG, today announced that it has acquired a majority stake in Element Markets, LLC (“Element”), the leading independent marketer of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and environmental commodities in North America. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2005, Houston-based Element Markets uses differentiated environmental and market expertise to play a leading role in markets for low carbon fuel standard (“LCFS”) credits, renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), emission credits, and carbon credits.
“The Rise Fund’s mission to deliver positive social and environmental impact alongside competitive financial returns is perfectly aligned with Element Markets’ value proposition. We are excited to partner with The Rise Fund to expand into new environmental markets and continue to deliver a best-in-class solution for our partners and clients,” said Angela Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer & Co-President of Element Markets.
Randall Lack, Founder & Co-President of Element Markets added, “By helping public and private institutions monetize environmental assets, realize sustainability goals, and meet compliance obligations, we help our partners and clients do well by doing good. This transaction is a validation of the great work done thus far by Element Markets’ team. With the support of The Rise Fund we will be able to accelerate our efforts to support a decarbonizing economy.”
Element Markets is a leading provider of greenhouse gas reductions via offsets and renewable natural gas to several Fortune 100 companies. Founded in 2005, Element has transacted over 50,000,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas credits.

“The Element Markets team has coupled their deep experience in renewable energy with a relentless focus on exceptional customer experience to create a unique, streamlined solution for environmental commodities markets,” said Marc Mezvinsky, Business Unit Partner within TPG. “We believe that market-based regulation like carbon markets will remain a favored approach for managing emissions at all levels. Element’s first-mover and leadership position provide a strong foothold across a variety of carbon credit markets and we look forward to working with Angela, Randy, and the rest of the Element team to help them grow this important business in the years ahead.”
“We continue to focus on an expanding opportunity set in climate transformation and Element Markets is both a knowledge and commercial leader in that regard,” said Mike Stone, Chief Investment Officer of The Rise Fund. “There is tremendous white space for Element to grow into and the management team has the experience and expertise to capture what we see as a significant opportunity in carbon credit markets.”
As part of the transaction, Stone and Mezvinsky will join Element’s board of directors.
The acquisition of Element Markets represents The Rise Fund’s second investment in the climate transformation and renewable energy space within the past six months. In July 2020, The Rise Fund acquired 1 gigawatt of solar PV projects from Trina Solar to anchor the portfolio of newly created, Madrid-based Matrix Renewables.
These recent transactions add to The Rise Fund’s growing portfolio of climate and sustainability focused investments including CLEAResult, the largest provider of energy efficiency and demand response solutions in North America; Fourth Partner Energy, India's leading developer of distributed solar solutions; Wilderness Holdings, a leading ecotourism group using responsible tourism to build sustainable conservation economies in Africa; and Green Monday, Asia’s plant-based food leader.

NEW DELHI & ENSCHEDE, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BioGasPurification--BoxLNG, the India-based distributed clean bioenergy project developer has signed a technology collaboration and investment agreement with HoSt Holding B.V. (HoSt) of the Netherlands. HoSt is one of the largest suppliers of bioenergy systems globally with more than 200 installations during its 30 years of experience.
BoxLNG is an emerging firm in India focused on executing scalable Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) / Compressed Biogas (CBG) projects, and through its subsidiary ZiPGAS holds 14 Letter of Intents (LOIs) for the supply of approximately 150 tons/day of CBG under the Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme by the Government of India.

“We at HoSt are excited about the partnership with BoxLNG. This is a great bioenergy platform for us to showcase our technology expertise in one of the fastest growing clean energy fields, and for us to establish a strong foothold in (South) Asia,” said Herman Klein Teeselink, CEO of HoSt.
Brij Mohan Bansal, President of BoxLNG, said, “This is an opportune time for India to showcase its leadership position towards cleaner and greener future, and in this regard, following on the aspirations of our Hon'ble Prime Minister, we at BoxLNG are fully committed towards energy transition by utilising local resources.”

Company’s Integrated Resource Plan will outline its clean-energy transition plans through 2035
DULUTH, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Minnesota Power, an ALLETE company, today announced its vision to deliver 100 percent carbon-free energy to customers by 2050, continuing its commitment to climate, customers and communities through its EnergyForward strategy.
Minnesota Power’s vision for a carbon-free future builds on its recent achievement of now providing 50 percent renewable energy to its customers. In its upcoming Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), the company will lay out bold next steps in its clean-energy transition over the next 15 years, reflecting plans to expand wind and solar resources, achieve coal-free operations at its facilities by 2035 and invest in a resilient and flexible transmission and distribution grid. The IRP will be submitted to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) on Feb. 1.
“We are proud to be the first Minnesota utility to provide 50 percent renewable energy, but as we said when we reached this exciting milestone in December, our transformation to a sustainable energy future is not yet complete,” said ALLETE President and CEO Bethany Owen. “As a clean energy leader, we are meeting the challenge of climate change with a reliable energy supply while keeping costs affordable for customers in this region.”
In the IRP, Minnesota Power will identify plans to increase its renewable energy supply to 70 percent by 2030 and achieve a coal-free energy supply by 2035. These steps include:
Minnesota Power has set a target to achieve an 80 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2035 compared to 2005 levels, meeting the state’s goal for greenhouse gas reductions 15 years ahead of schedule. Like other area utilities, Minnesota Power’s plan will recognize that advances in technology will play a significant role in completing its transition to a carbon-free energy supply, reliably and affordably. The IRP filing will acknowledge the need for this flexibility.
When the IRP is submitted, the MPUC will begin a regulatory process that provides for input from customers, organizations and communities. Minnesota Power spent the past 12 months in discussions with stakeholders that helped inform the details of its IRP, including the goal of delivering 100 percent carbon-free energy by 2050.
A final decision on the IRP is expected later in 2021. As the company achieves the benchmarks outlined in the IRP, it will continue to work with community and environmental stakeholders, local businesses, consumer advocates and other interested organizations on additional strategies for reaching the 2050 carbon-free energy goal reliably, safely and affordably.
In recent years, Minnesota Power has transformed its energy supply from more than a 95 percent reliance on coal to become a leader in the nation’s clean-energy transformation. For example, since 2013, the company has closed or converted seven of its nine coal-fired units and added nearly 900 megawatts of renewable energy sources. Additionally, Minnesota Power has been a leader in energy conservation, surpassing the state’s conservation goals each year for the past decade.
“For Minnesota Power, this plan is about more than achieving the most significant sustainability goal in our long history – it is about becoming 100 percent carbon-free the right way,” Owen said. “Our diverse customer base relies on us to continue to provide reliable and affordable energy. We also believe it is critically important that our transition to carbon-free energy takes into account the needs of our employees and the residents of communities that have hosted our generation plants. By embracing this vision, Minnesota Power and our employees will continue to support the quality of life that has made our residents, businesses and community organizations choose this region as their home.”
Minnesota Power provides electric service within a 26,000-square-mile area in northeastern Minnesota, supporting comfort, security and quality of life for 145,000 customers, 15 municipalities and some of the largest industrial customers in the United States. WPPI Energy is a 20 percent owner of Boswell Energy Center Unit 4. More information can be found at www.mnpower.com. ALE-CORP

Innovative renewable natural gas plant at McCarty Road Landfill to reach commercial operations in early 2021
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#LFG--Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, today announced that it achieved mechanical completion at its McCarty Road landfill gas to renewable natural gas plant located in Houston, Texas. This facility has a gross nameplate in excess of 1.1 million Dekatherms per year and is capable of processing 4,500 scfm of raw landfill gas.
The Ameresco team broke ground on the project in second quarter of 2020 and reached mechanical completion in early December 2020 while successfully navigating the construction challenges and equipment delays associated with a global pandemic and an active hurricane season.
“We are proud of this innovative partnership because it allows us to utilize a natural byproduct of the landfill to create low-carbon transportation fuels and other forms of renewable energy,” said Pete Keller, vice president of recycling and sustainability at Republic Services, which owns and operates McCarty Road Landfill. “Last year, Republic Services set a long-term sustainability goal to send 50 percent more landfill gas to beneficial reuse by 2030. This project not only creates additional clean energy resources in the regional economy, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps us meet that goal.”
“This complex renewable natural gas facility was swiftly constructed amidst incredibly challenging conditions due to the steadfast execution by the dedicated, on-site Ameresco team and our project partners,” said Mike Bakas, executive vice president of Ameresco. “By leveraging advanced technologies to transform the raw feedstock into a readily available renewable fuel source, clean energy can be made available to further reduce our country's reliance on fossil fuel. We are fortunate to have partnered with Republic Services on a project that exemplifies the green energy infrastructure of the future.”
This long-term, collaborative partnership will result in a reduction of more than 61,000 tons of CO2, which is equivalent to 103,000 passenger cars removed from the roads, 58 million gallons of gasoline not combusted or 146,000 acres of pine forest conserved every year over the project life.
“As a leading distributor of sustainable energy solutions, we’re honored to work with Ameresco on the McCarty Road Landfill project, taking gas produced to some of the most forward-thinking organizations throughout the nation,” stated Mike Koel, president of U.S. Gain. "Demand for renewable natural gas from the transportation sector has steadily risen for the past several years and we anticipate this to continue into the future because of the positive impact it offers. Organizations using renewable natural gas reduce transportation-related emissions in support of sustainability goals and lower fuel spend thanks to economic benefits like environmental and tax credits. Despite challenges experienced in 2020, we applaud Ameresco on the progress of this landfill project and look forward to future collaboration.”
The project is expected to reach commercial operations in early 2021.

New organization focuses company’s vast experience in delivering environmental solutions as clients seek environmental science, regulatory, climate and sustainability solutions
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As enterprises thoughtfully work to meet environmental objectives from regulators, shareholders and consumers, Black & Veatch announces the launch of a dedicated environmental business unit to support those objectives.
Black & Veatch’s centralization of its environmental services offerings comes as the world gets more complicated and companies, utilities and governments navigate operational challenges linked to regulatory hurdles and a rising tide of ambitious sustainability commitments, requiring new levels of innovation and expertise that deliver timely solutions. A business or project increasingly must account for environmental concerns, with regulations, finances and consumers often driving those considerations. When those forces intersect, the "right" environmental answer no longer is as clear as when the goal was simply regulatory adherence.
As a newly chartered, dedicated Black & Veatch business unit, the environmental team brings together dedicated scientists, consultants, and specialized ecological compliance and permitting experts capable of providing direct service to clients of various scale. Drawing upon the skills of nearly 10,000 Black & Veatch professionals worldwide, the team will pursue emerging opportunities in environmental consulting and environmental science services, in addition to an expanded array of traditional permitting, site inspection, air quality and noise capability solutions. By transitioning to the new organization, the team will focus its deep knowledge on helping stakeholders overcome complexities and reduce program costs.
Black & Veatch offers more than 80 environmental services across several prominent disciplines, including air quality, site remediation, management, compliance, science and other transformational areas. Solving problems in a rapidly accelerating market, the team will provide trusted guidance on such matters as climate change, earth sciences, and environmental management and compliance, bolstering a client’s risk assessments, resiliency planning, sustainable development, air quality, water security, crisis management and emergency planning.
“The establishment of this new business unit allows us to accelerate progress on our strategic priorities and lead change with our clients, helping them achieve their environmental goals,” said Steve Edwards, Black & Veatch’s CEO. “Environmental services support our commitment to a sustainable future, and with the needs and efforts around the globe accelerating, this will help us continue to be the most innovative and rapidly evolving company in the engineering and construction space.”
“From regulatory permitting challenges to community impacts and sustainability concerns, companies and projects large and small must navigate ever-evolving environmental considerations or face the prospect of delays, work stoppages or cancellation,” added Lisa Fewins, the environmental business unit’s managing director. “With decades of environmental services experience, Black & Veatch works with our clients to develop and execute thoughtful, effective approaches that minimize reputational and business risks.”
Ranked 14th on the Engineering News-Record’s latest list of top environmental firms, Black & Veatch has provided environmental solutions since its inception in 1915 and has become an industry leader in emerging topics such as the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and renewable energy solutions involving solar and wind energy. The company also is helping advance sustainability and environmental goals for mining companies, data center providers and many more industries.
“With our unique expertise forged by more than a century of solving the world’s biggest and most complex infrastructure problems, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and marshal the trusted, high-level thinking that helps clients achieve their customized and pressing project execution goals,” said Dave Johnson, the environmental business unit’s development leader.
Reflecting the company’s own commitment to sustainability, Black & Veatch announced in November that it is strengthening its sustainability vision with new pledges that align with the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global best practices by addressing a range of environmental and business practices. Those include goals addressing carbon neutrality by 2025, water usage, diversity and inclusion, anti-corruption and more.
Separately, the company also recently announced that it is ending its participation in coal-based power design and construction to focus on clean energy technologies and helping clients accelerate their path to net zero.
Editor’s Notes:

Multifaceted Q1 campaign aims to drive awareness of breast cancer prevention and raise $20K through digital storytelling, on-site retail activations, and release of Kiva’s limited-edition Live Resin Lost Farm Passionfruit Gummy
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#checkyourself--Airfield Supply Company — the leading vertically-integrated cannabis dispensary brand which champions that “High Is A Place” — today announced the launch of CHECK YOURSELF, a first-of-its-kind statewide awareness campaign that brings together leading California cannabis companies to raise funds and awareness around breast cancer prevention.
“We are using the New Year, when so many look to set personal wellness intentions, to remind Californians from San Diego to Sebastopol that if you are old enough to enjoy legal cannabis, you are old enough to make monthly self-exams a part of your routine. As with cannabis, there still exists a harmful stigma surrounding breast cancer, and yet breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women globally, with 1 in 8 women afflicted,” explains Marc Matulich, Airfield Supply Co.’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have partnered with Kiva and formed this first-ever cohort of California cannabis retailers in order to help change consumer behavior for the better, because — by removing the taboo, educating ourselves, and leading the conversation through action — lives can be saved. Our legacy emanates from the medical cannabis movement and keeping cannabis focused on the many different ways it can positively impact health is in our DNA. This is a massive labor of love for all of the partners involved and a fundamental conversation for us to drive in continuing the discussion around cannabis, personal wellness, and good health.”
CHECK YOURSELF is anchored by the launch of Kiva’s first-ever collaborative product, a limited-edition Live Resin Lost Farm Passionfruit gummy that was developed together with Airfield and Keep a Breast foundation. Keep a Breast is a 501c3 nonprofit devoted to breast cancer prevention through consumer education and the promotion of regular self-exams via the use of an exclusive app that can connect users to virtual medical professionals as needed. Studies show that regular self-exams have led to the discovery of nearly half of all diagnosed breast cancers. Thousands of American women under 40 are diagnosed each year, making early detection a crucial tool.
Lost Farm is a new family of strain-specific, plant-based fruit chews and gummies from Kiva. Lost Farm Live Resin Passionfruit gummy (10mg THC; vegan) features the popular Banana Bubblegum indica-hybrid strain. Sourced from a plant that has been fresh-frozen at harvest, Live Resin captures the freshly preserved terpenes and cannabinoid profiles exactly as they are at the moment of collection. This results in a distinctively richer, brighter, and more complex edibles experience. The release aims to drive awareness with special messaging on the packaging and through marketing campaigns to support Keep a Breast’s critical efforts to educate and empower young people to become their own best health advocates, with organizers hoping to raise over $20,000 for the nonprofit through donations.
“Creating a small-run, limited-edition edible is not something we take lightly at Kiva, where research and development can be time-consuming. The passion that Airfield has for this cause was simply contagious, and it quickly became clear that we had to be involved. Our team is incredibly proud of the Passionfruit gummy that resulted from this collaboration, but we are even more proud to support Keep a Breast’s important, life-saving mission,” says Adam Grablick, COO at KIVA Confections. In addition to the Lost Farm gummy development, Kiva has also committed to donating $10,000 to the cancer prevention nonprofit.
“The opportunity for Keep a Breast to partner with California’s cannabis industry is monumental, because this is an industry that is becoming increasingly wellness and health conscious, that spans across every demographic and adult age group, and that appreciates exploring important issues from new perspectives,” says Shaney Jo Darden, Executive Director of Keep a Breast. “We believe in meeting people where they are and helping to spread the important message about early detection in fun, light-hearted ways and now — with the Lost Farm Live Resin Passionfruit gummy by KIVA — delicious ways.”
The CHECK YOURSELF campaign includes an unprecedented collaboration among California cannabis retailers. While the Lost Farm Live Resin Passionfruit gummy will be available for purchase at Airfield Supply Co. (San Jose), look for it at other leading dispensaries throughout the state, including The Apothecarium (San Francisco), Jayden’s Journey (Modesto), King’s Crew (Long Beach), March and Ash (San Diego), Solful (Sebastopol), and Sweet Flower (Los Angeles). Additionally, consumers will have the opportunity to support the work of Keep a Breast through point-of-sale donations at Airfield and Sweet Flower’s registers or online at CheckYourself.funraise.org.
“By collaborating with colleagues in leading dispensaries across California in launching CHECK YOURSELF, we’re hoping to put our collective reach of tens of millions of individuals to the best possible use,” says Chris Lane, Airfield Supply Co.’s Chief Marketing Officer. “As someone whose immediate family has been marked by breast cancer, it’s important to me to underscore that breast cancer isn’t just an issue in October, when it is traditionally highlighted. Affecting men as well as women, breast cancer is a human issue that impacts us all every single day of the year. We’re excited to begin the New Year by setting a focus in 2021 around long-term personal wellness and shining a light on the importance of consistent self-care in preventing this disease while helping to raise funds for this truly inspiring nonprofit.”

The Genvia venture will focus on the development and industrial deployment of a game-changing electrolyzer technology for clean hydrogen production
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schlumberger New Energy, the CEA and Partners announced today the European Commission’s approval for the formation of Genvia, a clean hydrogen production technology venture. In a unique private-public partnership model, Genvia combines the expertise and experience of Schlumberger and the CEA with VINCI Construction, Vicat, and the investment vehicle of the French Occitanie Region, l’Agence Régionale de l’Energie et du Climat (AREC).
Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and a key component of the energy transition for many countries targeting carbon neutrality by 2050. The new venture will accelerate the development and the first industrial deployment of the CEA high-temperature reversible solid oxide electrolyzer technology, as the most efficient and cost-effective technology for clean hydrogen production.
Broad and deep alliances are critical to reach hydrogen production goals, evolving applications and creating a new energy infrastructure.
"We are very pleased to be working alongside such experienced and strong partners as we strive to develop technologies that enable decarbonization. Together, building on a set of technologies developed by the CEA over the last decade, we have ambitious growth plans for a technology that we expect to be a game-changer in the production of clean hydrogen. This initiative demonstrates an alignment of environmental and economic growth ambitions that is important for France and Europe in support of the government’s and the Commission’s recovery plan," said François Jacq, Chairman of the CEA.
Genvia technology aims to achieve the highest system efficiency, resulting in significantly less electricity use per kg of hydrogen produced. The technology is the first of its kind that is fully reversible, giving it the flexibility to switch between electrolysis and fuel cell functions.
"Clean hydrogen production is critical for the world to meet its energy transition goals. Genvia will bring together outstanding science and advanced engineering to accelerate the development of a core technology to unlock affordable hydrogen production, energy storage and fuel applications at scale,” said Olivier Le Peuch, Chief Executive Officer, Schlumberger.
The manufacturing of solid oxide electrolyzers will occur at the Genvia gigafactory, which will be established in Béziers, Occitanie Region, France. The center for technology transfer will be located at the CEA site in Grenoble, France.
