Business Wire News

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) ("Advent" or the "Company"), an innovation-driven leader in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology sectors, is pleased to announce the signing of a three-year agreement with the German State of Brandenburg for the supply of methanol-powered fuel cell systems, which will be installed in select critical communication sites in the region.


Advent's methanol-powered fuel cell systems will be used as a back-up power source for Brandenburg's BOS digital radio network, replacing the diesel-driven emergency power systems at several sites over the next three years. Germany's old public safety and security infrastructure relied on an outdated analogue radio system for communication. BOS is a digital, encrypted, and secure means of communication. The new BOS network allows first responders and other public safety officials to communicate easily and securely. The BOS network now covers 99.2% of German territory.

Advent's solution was selected as part of a tender launched by the German State of Brandenburg, which requested that fuel cell and hydrogen technology companies submit proposals for sustainable and reliable emergency power supply solutions. Prior to Advent's selection, the performance of the Company's methanol-powered fuel cells was tested at a site of the BOS digital radio network in Brandenburg, providing further proof of concept for the use of HT-PEM fuel cells as an efficient back-up power source for critical infrastructure applications. Advent's methanol-powered fuel cells deliver reliable power in an environmentally friendly way – reducing CO2 emissions and operating silently – while having a low impact on the surroundings. Methanol, as a carrier of hydrogen, allows simpler storage than pure hydrogen and enhances the safety of operations.

"We are thrilled that the German State of Brandenburg endorses Advent’s products for Brandenburg’s critical communication needs and are confident that Advent’s methanol-powered fuel cell systems will ensure the seamless operation of the entire BOS digital radio network in the region. This new partnership marks a major step towards the wider adoption of HT-PEM fuel cells as a back-up power source in critical infrastructure applications across Europe. We look forward to joining similar projects in the near future,” stated Advent Technologies GmbH Senior Vice President, Daniel Hennig.

"The Advent team is proud and excited to start this new collaboration with the German State of Brandenburg. Now, more than ever, the world needs zero-emission back-up power solutions to ensure a clean and uninterrupted energy supply. Today's agreement is another testament on how Advent’s methanol-powered fuel cells can play a major role in supporting critical infrastructure power requirements around the globe. We look forward to a long and successful collaboration with our new partner," added Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent Technologies Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) today announced that it has selected West Virginia for a ~1,800 MW combined-cycle natural gas power station utilizing carbon capture and storage. Following permitting and construction, the project will go into operation later this decade. The project was made possible by the advancement of the recently passed federal legislation, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, that expanded the 45Q federal tax credit for carbon capture.

“CPV is pleased to work closely with West Virginia to bring this project to fruition in the coming years. This project and technology represent a significant step forward for our Nation in deploying low carbon, dispatchable generation critical to maintaining reliability as we address our collective concerns regarding climate change,” said Gary Lambert, CEO of Competitive Power Ventures. “West Virginia has been extremely forward thinking at the local, state and national level, and we cannot thank Senator Manchin enough for his leadership in making this opportunity possible.”

The 45Q federal tax credit was recently expanded to incentivize carbon capture and sequestration for power generation. Earlier this year, the state of West Virginia passed legislation that was signed into law by Governor Jim Justice establishing state rules for carbon sequestration. Together, these two actions make West Virginia an ideal location for this investment.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is already having a positive impact for the people of West Virginia and carbon capture utilization efforts here in the United States,” said United States Senator Joe Manchin, who chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “I’m pleased Competitive Power Ventures is investing in the Mountain State and look forward to seeing the benefits of this investment – including long-term, good-paying jobs and supporting our regional economies – for years to come.”

Nationwide, large technology and industrial customers have made pledges to lower their environmental footprint, which often includes the sources of energy they rely on for their operations. A low carbon baseload energy source in West Virginia will be an asset to the state’s existing manufacturing and industrial companies, while also attracting future investments.

“This is an outstanding day for West Virginia,” said Governor Jim Justice, “Competitive Power Ventures and the innovation they bring to the energy industry is amazing. We welcome them to West Virginia and will continue to support this excellent company as we compete on the world-stage to recruit the best to our great state. I couldn’t be more proud.”

“Competitive Power Ventures’ multi-billion-dollar investment in this combined-cycle power plant demonstrates that West Virginia can provide natural gas to markets in our neighboring states, as needed energy supplies for our allies abroad, as a manufacturing input here at home and across America, as well as power generation here in West Virginia,” said Senator Shelley Moore Capito. “I’m proud that my bipartisan work on the 45Q carbon capture tax credit – and in specifically calling for the addition of a direct pay option – paved the way for this project, which I hope will be the first of several carbon capture, utilization, and storage investments in West Virginia.”

The construction of the project will utilize well over 1,000 skilled tradespeople from across the region, including prevailing wage labor and apprenticeships, to fulfill the requirements created by the Inflation Reduction Act to utilize the expanded tax credits for carbon sequestration. The natural gas utilized by the facility will support hundreds of additional jobs in West Virginia.

“Pennsylvania and Ohio have built numerous combined-cycle natural gas power plants over the last few years,” said Chuck Parker, President of the WV State Building & Construction Trades Council. “Now it is finally West Virginia’s turn. We have been training our members for a project like this and will be able to supply the workforce needed.”

Numerous companies across West Virginia have been working with CPV and the project for over a year to advance it to this decision point. The project has already started the extensive regulatory approval process. Once finalized, a firm timeline for commercial operations will be announced.

About CPV

CPV Group LP, a partnership majority owned by OPC Energy Ltd., is uniquely positioned to leverage global technology and financial partnerships to help modernize America’s power generation. Together with our investors, partners, host communities and other key stakeholders, we are driven to improve our energy infrastructure by developing and operating power generation facilities using cutting edge, clean and highly efficient technologies.

American BioCarbon will be featured during Puro.earth’s Carbon Removal Ecosystem Meeting

WHITE CASTLE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American BioCarbon, an innovative manufacturer of renewable products made from sugarcane bagasse, will join Puro.earth during Climate Week NYC 2022 for a virtual meeting to discuss the carbon removal ecosystem. Climate Week is the biggest global climate event of its kind, bringing together the most influential leaders in climate action from business, government, and the climate community.


On Monday, September 19, American BioCarbon will present its strategy to remove carbon from the atmosphere using sugarcane bagasse as part of Puro.earth’s virtual Carbon Removal Ecosystem Meeting. American BioCarbon will be joined by executives from Puro.earth, Kita, and Climate Impact X to discuss how to secure, fund and de-risk early-stage carbon removal. The program is targeted to educate CEOs, ESG and sustainability managers as they design net-zero carbon strategies for their companies.

American BioCarbon recently completed an independent audit process conducted by Puro.earth to verify its biochar as a carbon removal tool and is now certified to sell digital tradable assets called CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) under a marketing agreement with Puro.earth. The audit confirmed that American BioCarbon’s biochar is carbon net-negative; it examined product lifecycle, required scientific measurement and quantification of the removed CO2, and its residence time in storage.

American BioCarbon’s bagasse-based biochar captures carbon in a secure chemical structure that would otherwise release into the atmosphere through decomposition or burn-offs, providing a stable carbon storage solution. When incorporated into soil, biochar is up to 100 times more stable than the feedstock from which it was produced, and a substantial amount of biochar’s organic carbon will persist in soil for decades to millennia. Biochar also offers environmental and agricultural benefits such as nutrient retention, improved water holding capacity, and increased aeration.

Puro.earth is the world’s first marketplace, standard and registry for science-based carbon removal credits. Puro.earth provides carbon removal as a service, helping corporate buyers create a long-term procurement portfolio to neutralize their carbon footprint and reach net zero. Puro.earth focuses solely on verified net-negative technologies that can remove carbon at an industrial scale and store it for a minimum of 50 years.

Global decarbonization leader points to more integrated generation, transmission and distribution solutions to stabilize Asia’s low-carbon energy systems


BANGKOK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As Asia races to expand its variable renewable energy generation, more integration of generation, transmission and distribution technologies will be required to balance electric grids, enhance energy security and reach decarbonization goals.

“Rising demands from intensive power users like data centers and the electrification of transportation are increasing the load burden and profiles on Asia’s grid. The electric industry can accelerate Asia’s energy transition by deploying existing and emerging decarbonization, hydrogen, renewable and energy storage solutions,” said Narsingh Chaudhary, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Black & Veatch.

According to the Black & Veatch 2022 Asia Electric Report, senior industry executives viewed the integration of renewable energy into grid systems as the biggest challenge facing Asia’s electric industry. One in four industry respondents revealed they were not confident in the performance and resilience of their transmission and distribution systems. Additionally, top threats to providing reliable service to customers were cited as underinvestment in transmission and insufficient energy storage.

Approximately half of survey respondents said they believed that over the next five years there would be “more investment” in gas or LNG-to-power facilities combined with carbon capture, while, separately, 46 percent of respondents believed gas-fired generation would remain an important part of the grid beyond 2035.

Chaudhary will propose viable pathways for renewable energy integration at the Enlit Asia 2022 event in September, during the industry leaders’ panel session, “‘Let’s be Realistic’: How Can ASEAN Achieve its 2050 Net Zero Emission Targets?”. He also will discuss how to achieve cost efficiencies through the entire natural gas value chain. Other Black & Veatch energy experts plan to present on hydrogen, energy storage and transmission systems.

New Law Promotes the Use of Biomass Power

SACRAMENTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1109 by Senator Anna Caballero, which extends requirements on electric investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to procure energy from biomass generating electric facilities by five years.


"CBEA applauds the Legislature and the Governor for their work to promote healthy forests and renewable energy by passing and signing Senate Bill 1109," said Julee Malinowski-Ball, Executive Director of the California Biomass Energy Alliance. "We are especially grateful for Senator Anna Caballero's hard work in support of the biomass industry and its thousands of direct and ancillary jobs."

This law calls on the IOUs to extend existing contracts or procure 125 megawatts (MWs) of sustainable and renewable power from biomass generating facilities.

"SB 1109 is the right bill at the right time supporting California forest, energy, and climate policy," added Malinowski-Ball.

Over the past 16 months, millions of California's 33 million acres of forestland have burned. At this rate, much of California's forests may be lost forever by mid-century. The clean water, fresh air, carbon sequestration, forest products, recreation, and biodiversity these forests make possible will disappear.

Leaving excess forest waste and overgrowth material in the state's ecologically stressed forests leaves the forests at high risk of massively destructive wildfires, impedes the function of watersheds, diminishes wildlife habitat, and has other adverse effects on the forests. Undisturbed mature forests in California typically had a canopy-closure density in the neighborhood of 60 percent. Some of the state's overgrown forests today have canopy closures above 90 percent. These forests are being choked, and, as a result, they cannot provide the level of ecosystem services they should be able to.

Existing biomass facilities consumed almost 1.3 million bone dry tons of wood waste last year alone, with most of that coming in as forest waste. The biomass facilities are taking the forest waste and cutting criteria pollutant emissions by up to 98% with highly controlled emissions technologies compared with open burning.

"The biomass industry will continue to be an essential tool in reducing greenhouse emissions by providing clean, green, sustainable renewable energy," said Julee Malinowski-Ball.

The California Biomass Energy Alliance (CBEA) promotes biomass energy to reach California's environmental and economic goals. CBEA represents biomass facilities as well as providers of fuel, equipment, and services for the facilities. There are currently 23 operating solid fuel biomass power plants in 17 counties throughout California.

Brenmiller, Green Enesys and Viridi RE will cooperate to explore integration of bGen Thermal Energy Storage systems for proposed Green Hydrogen production facilities in Europe.


ROSH HAAYIN, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$BNRG #energystorage--Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (TASE: BNRG, Nasdaq: BNRG), a clean-energy company that provides Thermal Energy Storage (“TES”) systems to the global industrial and utility markets, today announced that is has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Green Enesys Deutschland GmbH (“Green Enesys”) and Viridi Energias Renovables Espana, S.L. (“Viridi RE”), two European based developers of green energy projects, to perform engineering studies for incorporating bGen TES for Green Enesys’ and Viridi REs’ proposed green hydrogen production facilities throughout Spain.

Green Enesys and Viridi RE are currently developing three green hydrogen projects in Spain, with the goal of decarbonizing the European Union’s industrial, power generation and transportation sectors. The projects will have a combined capacity to produce over 100,000 tonnes of green methanol annually. Under the terms of the MoU, Brenmiller will work with Green Enesys and Viridi RE to conduct feasibility studies for each of the three projects If the results of the engineering studies are favorable and the parties enter a definitive agreement to supply thermal energy storage systems, Brenmiller’s bGen TES will be charged with wind and solar power and be used to produce clean steam, a critical component of the hydrogen-to-green methanol conversion process for the projects.

“We are extremely excited to collaborate with Green Enesys and Viridi’s teams in their work to decarbonize the European Union’s industrial, power generation and transportation sectors,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “Green hydrogen has the potential to deeply decarbonize some of the world’s heaviest-emitting sectors, and we believe our ability to produce clean steam, using any form of renewable power through our bGen TES solution, is key to making green hydrogen an affordable and reliable clean energy resource.”

“Brenmiller is a natural partner to help advance our green hydrogen projects in Spain” said José Luis Morán, Green Enesys and Viridi’s Integrated Energy Solutions director “Their thermal energy storage solution is proven and can be relied upon to produce around the clock clean steam. We look forward to working with Brenmiller's dedicated team of energy experts, and to providing the European Union with a clean fuel alternative.”
