Business Wire News

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The PG&E Corporation Foundation (Foundation) today announced the four 2020 recipients of the Better Together Resilient Communities grants, a program funded by the Foundation to support local initiatives to build greater climate resilience in Northern and Central California.

The program awarded $100,000 each to Sustainable Solano, Greenbelt Alliance, the Wiyot Tribe, and The Nature Conservancy. All of the projects are designed to reduce flood risk and support healthy, resilient coastlines and wetlands.

“These grants are founded on the premise that relying on the experience, expertise, and established partnerships of local organizations and tribes is the most effective path for helping highly vulnerable communities to prepare for the reality of climate change,” said Stephanie Isaacson, Executive Director of The PG&E Corporation Foundation. “The urgency of the problem requires ideas that are both innovative and practical, so that they can be shared as widely as possible.”

The Better Together Resilient Communities grant program, established in 2017, will invest $2 million over five years in funding from The PG&E Corporation Foundation. Strategies and solutions resulting from the grants are made publicly available to assist all communities in resilience planning and work, and to encourage local and regional partnerships.

Project Proposals and Goals

The Sustainable Solano project, “Suisun City Community Resilience,” will address flood risks via green infrastructure installations, providing inputs into the development of a broader flood action plan. Goals include:

  • Conduct wide community outreach to inform the creation of the Suisun City Flood Resiliency Action Plan
  • Develop a Resilient Neighborhood in a vulnerable community at extreme risk for flooding
  • Launch a youth environmental leadership internship program

“Thanks to this funding we can focus on a community that may have otherwise been overlooked and expand our outreach to local governments, multi-level stakeholders and youth to help them understand flood risks in Suisun City, and learn how they can be actively engaged in making their communities a more thriving and resilient place,” said Elena Karoulina, Executive Director of Sustainable Solano.

The Greenbelt Alliance project, “Resilience Rising: Contra Costa County,” will focus on building capacity and increasing coordination across Contra Costa County. Goals include:

  • Conduct a case study on how to foster public-private partnerships that prioritize adaptation planning
  • Develop a Resilience Playbook as a tool that can be shared with other communities across the state

“There are seven General Plan updates happening in Contra Costa County, but sea-level rise does not stop at jurisdictional boundaries, making jurisdictional communication even more critical. We need to act now and work together to make our shorelines more resilient. We look forward to working closely with our partners to build capacity and increase resilience in Contra Costa County and beyond,” said Zoe Siegel, Director of Climate Resilience at the Greenbelt Alliance.

The Wiyot Tribe project will serve as a “Phase 1” approach to the Tribe’s Climate Change Adaptation Plan, with an initial focus on understanding flood risks. Goals include:

  • Identify cultural and natural resources within the Tribe’s ancestral lands and waters vulnerable to climate change and at risk from flooding
  • Build on a Bureau of Indian Affairs grant to build capacity and utilize tribal knowledge to guide development of its Climate Change Adaptation Plan that is reflective of the Tribe’s needs and priorities

“This support will allow the Wiyot Tribe to identify important, infrastructural, cultural, and natural resource assets that are vulnerable to sea level rise, flooding, and climate change. The funding will allow the Tribe to begin this important planning project through documenting Tribal traditional ecological knowledge and building partnerships with land managing bodies across its ancestral territory around Humboldt Bay to benefit the resiliency of the greater community,” said Ted Hernandez, Wiyot Tribal Chairman.

The Nature Conservancy project, “Risk Financing for Coastal Resilience,” will focus on reducing flooding in San Mateo County. Goals include:

  • Assessing the feasibility of an insurance product that leverages wetland flood risk reduction benefits
  • Launching a pilot project
  • Demonstrating an innovative way to fund wetland restoration and enhancement for flood protection

“The 2020 Better Together Resilient Communities grant will enable The Nature Conservancy and our partners to pursue pioneering work that will improve the flood resilience of both communities and nature in San Mateo County. Financial mechanisms, like insurance, offer great promise for protecting the San Francisco Bay’s people, property, and last remaining tidal wetlands—and we now have the resources to explore how to make this a reality,” said Sarah Heard, Director of Conservation Economics and Finance at The Nature Conservancy.

About the Program

Grant proposals for the Better Together Resilient Communities program were evaluated for the extent to which they demonstrated climate risk, enhanced community capacity, partnerships, replicability, assistance to environmental and social justice communities, and measurable impact. To be eligible, applicants must be a governmental organization, educational institution or 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. All applicants must include a local or tribal government within PG&E's service area as a partner.

Information on the application process for the 2021 Better Together Resilient Communities grant program will be available in the spring of 2021. Please check the Better Together Resilient Communities website for more information on this grant opportunity.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a leader in electrified powertrain solutions for Class 8 commercial vehicles, applauded the extension of the Alternative Fuels Tax Credit (AFTC) through 2021. Included with the passage of year-end funding and COVID-19 relief, the credit adds to the growing support of natural gas as an affordable and cleaner fuel source powering heavy duty vehicles today. Hyliion’s Hypertruck ERX offers an electrified truck that can achieve net-carbon negative emissions by leveraging renewable natural gas (RNG).


Our customers have experienced the first-hand benefits of RNG as a cleaner and more effective fuel source,” said Thomas Healy, founder and CEO of Hyliion. “The extension of this credit will encourage fleet adoption, contribute to the growing clean technology sector and support our journey toward a greener future.”

The AFTC extends the $0.50 per gallon fuel credit/payment for the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel. The legislation also includes the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, which extends the 30 percent/$30,000 investment tax credit for alternative vehicle refueling property. Its continuation is important to provide investment certainty for fleets of all sizes working to reduce their environmental footprint and address clean air and climate change sustainability goals.

The AFTC extension combined with recently released data from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) highlighting RNG vehicles reaching negative emission milestones adds to the growing momentum around RNG powered vehicle platforms. This achievement demonstrates RNG’s ability to be cleaner than even zero-emissions solutions such as wind and solar electricity generation.

Hyliion’s Hypertruck ERX powertrain will provide measurable cost savings to fleets while reducing emission levels compared to standard diesel-powered vehicles. Fleets will be able to leverage the AFTC in conjunction with Hyliion’s powertrains to drive even greater reductions in fueling costs. The extension of the AFTC highlights the government’s continued support of clean technology and natural gas as a solution toward reduced emission levels.

Ongoing partnerships between MGE, City and school district advance shared energy goals.


MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) today filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) for approval of an agreement to partner with the City of Madison and the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) on an 8-megawatt (MW) solar array in Madison.

If approved, the electricity generated by this local source of clean energy will increase renewable energy use in City operations by nearly 20%.

"We have partnered with the City of Madison and the school district on a number of projects over the years. This new solar partnership, which provides another source of locally generated clean energy, is another step toward our shared energy goals," said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. "Another 8 megawatts of locally generated, cost-effective, carbon-free energy on our electric grid will help MGE achieve our goal of net-zero carbon electricity for all customers by 2050."

"We are working hard to have 100% of our municipal operations on renewable energy by 2030," said Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway. "Projects like these are critical to achieving that goal. We are happy for the partnership we've had with MGE and MMSD on this project and look forward to continuing that partnership in the future."

"MMSD is being very intentional about our commitment to renewable energy, with goals to meet 50% of all District operations' energy needs with renewable energy by 2030, 75% by 2035 and 100% by 2040," said MMSD Superintendent Dr. Carlton D. Jenkins. "We cannot do this alone, and we thank the City of Madison and MGE for their partnership, and for the opportunity to come together to work collaboratively in achieving a common goal, to mitigate climate change and ensure a healthier environment for our students and community."

Details of 8-MW solar project

The solar array will consist of about 28,000 solar panels and will cover approximately 53 acres of land north of Dane County's Rodefeld Landfill in southeast Madison. If approved, the project will be developed by NextEra Energy Resources Development, LLC.

The City will take 5 MW of the output and MMSD will take 3 MW of the output under Renewable Energy Rider (RER) agreements with MGE.

The cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $15.3 million. If approved, it is expected the solar array will begin generating electricity by the end of 2021.

Renewable Energy Rider

The City and MMSD have entered into separate RER agreements, subject to regulatory approval, with MGE. An RER enables MGE to partner with a large energy user to tailor a renewable energy solution to meet that customer's energy needs. RER customers are responsible for costs associated with the renewable generation facility and any distribution costs to deliver energy to the customer. The innovative model grows clean energy in our community.

Net-zero carbon goal

MGE is on the path toward deep decarbonization, pursuing globally recognized strategies to achieve an ambitious goal that is consistent with the latest climate science. MGE expects to achieve carbon reductions of 65% by 2030, exceeding its goal of a 40% reduction by 2030. If MGE can go further faster in reducing carbon emissions, it will. To reach its carbon reduction goals, MGE is growing its use of renewable energy, engaging customers around energy efficiency and facilitating the electrification of transportation, all of which are key strategies identified by the United States for achieving deep decarbonization.

About MGE

MGE generates and distributes electricity to 155,000 customers in Dane County, Wis., and purchases and distributes natural gas to 163,000 customers in seven south-central and western Wisconsin counties. MGE's parent company is MGE Energy, Inc. The company's roots in the Madison area date back more than 150 years.

Consequently, actual future results could differ materially from Devon’s and WPX’s expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the risk that Devon’s and WPX’s businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from the Proposed Transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on the companies or the industries in which they operate, including the risk of new restrictions with respect to hydraulic fracturing or other development activities on Devon’s or WPX’s federal acreage or their other assets; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; the risk that Devon or WPX may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the Proposed Transaction, or that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the Proposed Transaction or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the Proposed Transaction or cause the parties to abandon the Proposed Transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the Proposed Transaction may not be satisfied; the length of time necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction, which may be longer than anticipated for various reasons; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; changes in the general economic environment, or social or political conditions, that could affect the businesses; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the Proposed Transaction on relationships with customers, suppliers, competitors, management and other employees; the ability to hire and retain key personnel; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; the risks associated with assumptions the parties make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; the volatility of oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) prices; uncertainties inherent in estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves; the impact of reduced demand for our products and products made from them due to governmental and societal actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the uncertainties, costs and risks involved in Devon’s and WPX’s operations, including as a result of employee misconduct; natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics (including COVID-19 and any escalation or worsening thereof) or other public health conditions; counterparty credit risks; risks relating to Devon’s and WPX’s indebtedness; risks related to Devon’s and WPX’s hedging activities; competition for assets, materials, people and capital; regulatory restrictions, compliance costs and other risks relating to governmental regulation, including with respect to environmental matters; cyberattack risks; Devon’s and WPX’s limited control over third parties who operate some of their respective oil and gas properties; midstream capacity constraints and potential interruptions in production; the extent to which insurance covers any losses Devon or WPX may experience; risks related to investors attempting to effect change; general domestic and international economic and political conditions, including the impact of COVID-19; and changes in tax, environmental and other laws, including court rulings, applicable to Devon’s and WPX’s business.

In addition to the foregoing, the COVID-19 pandemic and its related repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty and turmoil in the global economy and Devon’s and WPX’s industry. This turmoil has included an unprecedented supply-and-demand imbalance for oil and other commodities, resulting in a swift and material decline in commodity prices in early 2020. Devon’s and WPX’s future actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts, including, by, among other things: contributing to a sustained or further deterioration in commodity prices; causing takeaway capacity constraints for production, resulting in further production shut-ins and additional downward pressure on impacted regional pricing differentials; limiting Devon’s and WPX’s ability to access sources of capital due to disruptions in financial markets; increasing the risk of a downgrade from credit rating agencies; exacerbating counterparty credit risks and the risk of supply chain interruptions; and increasing the risk of operational disruptions due to social distancing measures and other changes to business practices. Additional information concerning other risk factors is also contained in Devon’s and WPX’s most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other SEC filings.

Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond Devon’s or WPX’s ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this communication is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast or to be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of Devon or WPX for the current or any future financial years or those of the combined company will necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of Devon or WPX, as applicable. Neither Devon nor WPX gives any assurance (1) that either Devon or WPX will achieve their expectations, or (2) concerning any result or the timing thereof, in each case, with respect to the Proposed Transaction or any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, warning letters, consent decree, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Devon, WPX, the Proposed Transaction, the combined company or other matters and attributable to Devon or WPX or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Devon and WPX assume no duty to update or revise their respective forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or otherwise.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Wood Pellets - Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


According to the report, the Global Wood Pellets market accounted for $8.88 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $21.21 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period. Some of the key factors propelling the market growth include growing consciousness regarding the use of renewable energy sources for space heating in residential and commercial heating, rising financial incentives by several federal agencies, numerous favourable government policies, and the low cost of raw materials for making wood pellets. However, the high cost of a wood pellet stove is likely to hamper the market.

Wood pellet is a solid fuel which is manufactured by densifying and crushing waste wood including industrial by products such as old paper, forestry wastes, and forestry residues. It is a renewable, clean-burning and cost-effective option for home heating. Apart from heating and power generation, these pellets are also used for the horse bedding purpose.

By end user, the thermal energy (heat generation) segment witnessed a steady growth in the past decade owing to the rising cost of alternative heating fuels. Wood pellets combined with the right type of heating devices such as pellet boilers and pellet stove inserts can transform more than 90% of the energy contained in the fuel into usable heat. Further, usage of wood pellets for heating purposes also has very less effect on the environment since wood absorbs the same amount of carbon dioxide as emitted during the combustion process.

On the basis of geography, the demand for wood pellets in Asia Pacific is expected to witness a significant growth during the forecast period, due to the favorable government policies in Japan, China, and South Korea regarding power generation and CHP. Demand for renewable energy in the region is on the rise as the governments are seeking alternatives to fossil fuels in order to reduce carbon footprint and to ensure long term energy security. China is expected to be one of the key markets for wood pellets in the coming years. Rapidly growing population, insatiable demand for energy, rising pollution levels are some of the key factors that are expected to augment demand for wood pellets in China in the coming years.

VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Mountaintop Energy Holdings LLC, owner of Mountaineer Gas Company (“Mountaineer”), the largest gas local distribution company in West Virginia for an enterprise value of $540 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $140 million of debt.


  • Highly strategic and complementary investment in a single-state utility adjacent to UGI’s existing utility footprint.
  • Enterprise value represents approximately 1.4 times projected 2021 rate base.
  • The acquisition will increase UGI’s regulated utility rate base and customers served by nearly 14% and 30%, respectively, and is consistent with its strategy to focus growth investments on natural gas and renewable energy solutions opportunities.
  • Accretive to adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) in first full year of operations.
  • Supports all financial targets and commitments including long-term 6% - 10% EPS growth and 4% annual dividend growth.
  • Mountaineer offers a secure platform for growth with predictable, regulated investment opportunities over the next several decades to improve the safety and reliability of the distribution system, serve new customers on the system, decrease methane and greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”), and build on a long history of providing excellent customer service.

Mountaineer serves nearly 215,000 customers across 50 of the state’s 55 counties. The customer base is approximately 90% residential, with the remaining 10% comprised of commercial and industrial customers. Mountaineer is fully regulated, and its system has nearly 6,000 miles of distribution, transmission, and gathering pipelines.

“We are very pleased to announce this important transaction and expand our core utility operations in the mid-Atlantic region,” said John L. Walsh, President and Chief Executive Officer of UGI. “The transaction is immediately accretive to adjusted EPS and provides us with an opportunity to support our customers in West Virginia with a long-term commitment to ensure safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible natural gas services. Our existing Utilities business has shown the value of this long-term commitment to system enhancement and we expect to make a similar commitment in West Virginia. We see significant investment opportunities to continue, if not accelerate, the replacement of over 1,500 miles of bare steel pipelines and expand the reach of natural gas in West Virginia to both unserved and underserved areas. These investments will improve the safety and reliability of the distribution system and align with our environmental efforts to lower methane and other GHG emissions. We expect Mountaineer’s rate base to grow by a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10% - 12% over the long term.

“Over the past two years, we have indicated our intention to rebalance our business mix by investing more to build out our natural gas businesses. This transaction is an important step in the rebalancing efforts and will support UGI’s long-term annual commitments to grow EPS and dividends by 6% - 10% and 4%, respectively,” Mr. Walsh concluded.

Robert F. Beard, Executive Vice President, Natural Gas of UGI, said, “Mountaineer is a great fit for our natural gas businesses and UGI as a whole. The company brings an exceptional management team with significant experience, a track record of safe operations, and strong regulatory relationships. Like UGI Utilities, Mountaineer’s customers are situated in the prolific Marcellus shale production region and have access to clean, abundant, reliable, and affordable natural gas. We look forward to becoming a part of the West Virginia community and investing in the safety and reliability of the Mountaineer system, while maintaining competitive rates for our customers and building on an already strong history of excellent customer service. With UGI’s over 135 years of experience in the gas utilities business, we are confident that we can execute on investment opportunities while providing best-in-class service to our new customers. This transaction makes sense strategically, operationally, and culturally and we look forward to welcoming the Mountaineer employees and customers to the UGI family of companies.”

Closing Details

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory and other closing conditions, including approval by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia. Federal antitrust clearance is also required pursuant to the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. Assuming fulfillment of all conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2021.

Transaction Details

The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first full year of combined operations. UGI expects to finance the acquisition through debt and / or equity-linked securities and existing liquidity to optimize accretion while maintaining a strong balance sheet. UGI does not expect to issue common equity to finance the acquisition.

Advisors

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as UGI’s financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as legal counsel.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Solar Backsheet Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global solar backsheet market grew at a CAGR of around 8% during 2014-2019. Looking forward, the global solar backsheet market to continue its moderate growth during the next five years.

A solar backsheet refers to the outermost layer of a photovoltaic (PV) unit used to protect and shield the internal peripherals of the solar module. Some of the commonly used solar backsheets include non-, single- and double-fluoropolymer backsheets that can be mounted on the roof, ground or floating power plants. These backsheets are usually manufactured using polymers or a combination of polymers and placed at the bottom of the solar panel.

They are highly robust and exhibit high electrical insulation and protective properties against external impacts, dust, chemicals, sand, wind, extreme temperatures, moisture and ultraviolet (UV) radiations. They also offer various favorable mechanical, electrical, optical and chemical properties essential for the overall durability and safety of the photovoltaic modules.

A significant increase in the number of solar panel installations across the globe represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the implementation of favorable government policies promoting various solar energy projects is also stimulating the market growth.

Due to the rising preference for sustainable energy resources and the increasing emphasis on utility-scale projects, there is an escalating demand for solar roof-tops with efficient backsheets across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. This, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market.

Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of advanced fluoropolymer backsheets, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These variants offer enhanced hydrolytic stability and resistance to extreme weather conditions.

Other factors, including the increasing development of micro-grid networks to meet the rising off-grid energy demands, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market further.

Competitive Landscape:

The report has also analysed the competitive landscape of the market with some of the key players being 3M Company, Arkema S.A, Astenik Solar Inc., COVEME S.p.A (MH & RE.

PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy cost savings topped the list for customer needs when considering distributed energy resources (DER) in a recent study by NRG Energy, Inc. (NSYE: NRG) in collaboration with Smart Energy Decisions (SED). The goal of the State of Distributed Energy Resources Study was to better understand DER energy trends with the nation’s largest electric power users.


In the study, nearly 87 percent said cost savings was an important factor when asked what the key driver was for considering DERs. Other significant drivers included environmental and sustainability matters. Achieving renewable energy and sustainability targets were also some of the other top influences for developing long term distributed energy plans. Meeting emission reduction goals increased 17 percent from 2019 to 2020 as a driver of deploying DERs. To meet corporate sustainability goals, customers deploy renewable energy resources in their micro-grid. This leads to freedom to access energy on their terms at a cost-efficient rate and when they need it.

The study interviewed more than 100 large electric power users regarding their energy plans and how DERs fit into their overall strategy.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Net-Zero Energy Buildings Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global net-zero energy buildings market exhibited strong growth during 2014-2019. Looking forward, the publisher expects the global net-zero energy buildings market to continue its strong growth during the next five years.

Net-zero energy (NZE) buildings refer to the constructions that are optimized to use on-site renewable resources to meet energy requirements. They use passive solar heat gain through photovoltaics (PV) and geothermal energy systems to stabilize temperature variations in the complex throughout the day.

The buildings also include highly efficient heating and cooling equipment, appliances, walls & roofs, windows and doors. They aid in maintaining the desired insulation, natural ventilation and air sealing, thereby minimizing the overall energy consumption and wastage over time. As a result, these buildings are widely used as residential complexes, office spaces, educational facilities and public buildings.

The increasing utilization of renewable resources for power generation across the globe represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the implementation of favorable government policies and initiatives to minimize carbon emissions and promote sustainable development is also driving the market growth.

For instance, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) implemented a long-term efficiency strategy plan to promote the construction of new NZE buildings.

Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of innovative gas water heaters and other heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These systems aid in maintaining the indoor air quality and safety and ensuring a non-hazardous environment in low-rise buildings.

Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities, along with rapid infrastructural development, especially in developing countries, are anticipated to drive the market further.

3D printing has the potential to revolutionize construction and unlock new markets such as affordable homes


BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#3DPrinter--A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the market for 3D printing construction technology, providing forecasts for global market size, segmented by region and building type, through 2029.

3D printing technology for construction has significantly advanced in the past 5 years, with innovation in robotics, material science, and software. After years of R&D, the market is nearing a tipping point as companies are moving beyond pilots and demonstration projects to selling their products, including 3D construction printers, full buildings, and building components. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, global market revenue for 3D-printed construction of buildings is expected to grow from $6.5 million in 2020 to $264 million in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51%.

“Cost savings, reduced construction time, and sustainability compared with traditional construction are the most significant drivers in the market,” says Sasha Wedekind, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Considering current tight construction margins and labor shortages, 3D printing has the potential to revolutionize construction and unlock new markets to the industry, such as affordable homes.”

Despite significant momentum, widespread adoption of the technology in the coming years is unlikely, according to the report. The first years of commercialization will be critical to overcoming stakeholder skepticism and demonstrating that 3D printing can produce permitted, habitable, and functional homes and buildings. North America is expected to be the largest region for 3D construction revenue, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Significant market activity is also expected in the Middle East due to Dubai’s ambitious 3D Printing Strategy and in Latin America and Africa, where multiple 3D printing companies are already expanding their businesses.

The report, 3D Printing for Residential and Commercial Construction, analyzes the market for 3D printing construction technology. This report covers the 3D printing market for residential and commercial construction, including walls, foundations, floors, façades, roofs, and other building envelope elements. This forecast excludes infrastructure (such as bridges) and building finishing elements (such as stairs). The report analyzes market drivers and barriers, assesses the state of 3D printing technology, and provides profiles of market vendors. The global market size forecast is segmented by region and building type.
