KENNESAW, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Florida Board of Education announced the post-secondary school Career and Professional Education (CAPE) funding list for the 2021/2022 academic year this August. That list now includes Yamaha Marine University’s Maintenance Certifications, a first among marine outboard manufacturers and a strong incentive for technical schools to offer Yamaha outboard training courses to students.
“Yamaha remains focused on developing qualified, workforce-ready marine technicians to help dealerships build profitable, efficient service departments. A key component of this effort is training and education,” said Gregg Snyder, Marine Training Department Manager, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “The inclusion of Yamaha Maintenance Certifications on the CAPE funding list further encourages post-secondary schools in the state of Florida to incorporate marine technician education into their curriculum. Aspiring technicians who complete and pass exams to earn four separate Yamaha Marine Maintenance Certifications will enter the marine industry workforce with the skills and confidence they need to build successful careers. Making this list is a win for students, Yamaha Technical School Partners and Yamaha dealers.”
Florida’s CAPE program fosters a statewide planning partnership between business and education communities to attract, expand and retain targeted, high-value industry for the state. The post-secondary education funding incentivizes schools to offer curriculum that can result in industry-recognized certifications students can earn to secure high-wage, high-demand careers. Once registered students earn a recognized certification, the school receives a performance award from the state to put toward the further development of workforce-ready courses.
The recognition of Yamaha Maintenance Certifications on the CAPE funding list is particularly beneficial for Yamaha Technical School Partners (TSPs) in Florida. Current and aspiring marine technicians can earn four distinct Yamaha Maintenance Certifications: Portable, Midrange, Inline (4 cylinder) and V-engine. TSPs can choose which modules to offer based on the needs of the market in their area. Many Yamaha Technical School Partners use the Maintenance Certification Program in their curriculum to build student proficiency in conducting 20-, 100-, 300-, 500- and 1,000-hour service procedures. Yamaha recommends technicians complete Introduction to Outboard Systems (ITOS) before they complete Yamaha Marine Maintenance Certification exams. Yamaha TSPs throughout Florida currently offer the ITOS curriculum.
“Yamaha continues to implement in-demand, career-enhancing certifications and curriculum for the marine industry to help aspiring technicians prepare for and realize success,” said Jack Seubert, Dean of Marine Science and Technology, The College of the Florida Keys (CFK). “Savvy dealers are more likely to actively recruit marine technicians with recognized certifications, such as the four Yamaha Maintenance Certifications that CFK currently offers.
“In an indirect way, the inclusion of Yamaha certifications on the CAPE list is also a great way for our institution to recruit,” he continued. “When prospective students see we offer the marine courses that include training to prepare students to earn these certifications, and that the technicians who earn them are in high demand for top-paying jobs, they are more likely to enroll. Couple that with the state funding the school can earn from each recorded certification and you’ve got a win-win situation.”
The Yamaha service and government relations teams worked together in the effort to gain CAPE funding list placement. To meet the Florida Board of Education qualifications, Yamaha worked with TSPs in Florida to recognize Marine Engine Repair as a formal state occupation.
“The path to CAPE funding presented an excellent learning experience for Yamaha,” said Martin Peters, Division Manager, Government Relations, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “The approval of Yamaha Maintenance Certification on this list represents the hard work of two departments working toward the same goal of increasing qualified technicians in the workforce. It’s an achievement we hope to duplicate with similar programs in other states.”

JENBACH, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, INNIO today announced the publication of its inaugural Sustainability Report, “Together for a Sustainable Future.” The theme of this report encompasses engagement of everyone -- with “together” being the key word indicating responsibility of all stakeholders in a journey to shape a sustainable future. The report highlights INNIO’s commitment to instituting a culture of transparency, providing progress updates and direction on INNIO’s global approach to sustainability covering its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance for 2020.
In continuing its sustainability journey, INNIO’s leadership and its Sustainability Review Board (SRB) laid out the company’s ESG goals and strategy which included the development and publication of its first Sustainability Report. The report details how INNIO is working responsibly to deliver communities, industry, and the public with access to sustainable, reliable, and economical power while creating and maintaining an innovative, diverse, inclusive, pleasant and safe working environment for its employees.
Further, as INNIO’s Jenbacher and Waukesha products, services and digital solutions help unlock the transition to a carbon neutral future, INNIO’s Sustainability Report provides its stakeholders with indicators on commitment and progress to reducing greenhouse emissions and initiatives around responsible resource management.
In his opening note to the Sustainability Report, INNIO president and CEO, Carlos Lange, laid out key priorities and accomplishments:
Sustainability Goals
“As we continue to implement our enterprise strategy for profitable growth, we are also underlining our commitment to climate challenges and sustainable growth. INNIO’s Sustainability Goals are related to safety, energy and emissions, water, waste, building efficiency, circular economy, jobsite efficiency and sustainability of our products, services and solutions.”
Uninterrupted Access to Products and Services
“Along with our distributors and suppliers, INNIO is working to help ensure uninterrupted access to the products and services that our global customers rely on to support society during these difficult times. The recent COVID-19 global pandemic presented new challenges around the world, and INNIO was designated by many governments as an ‘essential’ enterprise since our products, parts and services support key infrastructure in the supply of natural gas and electrical energy. Customers use our products to provide primary and standby power & heat to homes; essential facilities such as hospitals, utilities, or district heating plants; and other businesses that must continue to operate.”
Technology Leadership: Hydrogen
“In Hamburg, INNIO Jenbacher and HanseWerk Natur recently collaborated to commission the world’s first large-scale gas engine in the 1 MW range capable of running on a variety of hydrogen-natural gas mixtures or on 100% green hydrogen. It’s also the world’s first natural gas engine conversion to hydrogen in the field. Again, INNIO technology is ahead of the game, demonstrating the future-proof nature of the installed base, this time by offering the ability to convert to carbon free, 100% hydrogen capabilities.”
Digitalization
“Through digitalization, we can constantly improve our products’ design and construction in our advanced factories, flawlessly execute our services, and move beyond reactive to predictive data solutions. At our manufacturing plants, we have embraced digitalization and are continuously refining our operations, accelerating innovation and improving our customers’ experience.”
The Sustainability Report publication follows recent sustainability activities that include INNIO’s recognition by EcoVadis with a Silver business sustainability rating, and INNIO’s joining the United Nations Global Compact. Each of these efforts underscores INNIO’s holistic and structured approach to incorporating sustainability across the company, considering the environment, employee development, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, as well as corporate responsibility.
INNIO’s Sustainability Report was developed in collaboration with external ESG advisors and subject matter experts as well as internal directors from diverse backgrounds.

AECOM signs MOU focused on using green hydrogen to support post-earthquake recovery and growth in the country’s central Apennines region
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Spanish renewables group Iberdrola, and Italian partners Cinque International and Ancitel Energy and Environment, to upgrade Italy’s historic Apennine diesel railway with hydrogen trains. This project aims to aid economic growth for the Apennine region.
“We are excited to bring our technical expertise in the development of smart cities and new energy to this project, working with our partners to progress this first-of-a-kind railway for Italy. As leaders in environmental, social and governance (ESG), our work to develop these new energy projects will support the European Union’s net-zero carbon targets,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “It will also drive innovation in our industry and attract people and business back to this isolated, inland area of Italy that has been impacted by seismic events in recent years. The aim of this ambitious project is to find ways to build back sustainably, using new energy technology to create job opportunities and boost economic growth for communities in the region.”
AECOM and its partners are working on four projects to support sustainable economic recovery in the region, which was badly affected by earthquakes in 2009 and 2016 and has suffered from decades of depopulation. The first project is the upgrade of the 300km Apennine line, which will be one of Italy’s first hydrogen railways. The line runs from the town of Sansepolcro in the northern province of Arezzo, to Sulmona, a city in the central province of L'Aquila. The focus on this line is strategically important because it connects a number of inland areas through four central regions. A portion of the line has not been electrified, currently using diesel trains that will be replaced as part of the program.
The MOU also includes pre-feasibility work for a new rail line powered by green hydrogen linking Rome with Ascoli Piceno, a province in the Marche region. The third project is to assess the potential for diffused green hydrogen manufacturing activity in the region. The final project will look at ways to apply new energy and environmental technologies in post-earthquake reconstruction.
The projects align with the aims of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, a European Commission-led group looking at an ambitious deployment of hydrogen technologies by 2030 to support the EU’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. In July 2021, the Apennine Railway project was pre-selected by the European Commission in its framework of activities for the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, which aims to build a pipeline of viable investment projects and scale up the deployment of green hydrogen in Europe.
Under the MOU, AECOM is leading engineering and program management, with Iberdrola acting as industrial partner.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Bakken Shale in the United States of America (USA), 2021 - Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Outlook to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Bakken shale play is the second largest oil producing region in the United States behind the Permian Basin. In 2019, it averaged over 1.4 million barrels of oil per day (mmbd), which was followed by Eagle Ford play at 1.37 mmbd.
The play is located in North and South Dakotas and Montana states in the United States and southern part of Saskatchewan province in Canada. However, more than 90% of the hydrocarbon output comes from the portion of play located in the United States and accounted for almost 11% of oil and 3% of natural gas production in the United States Lower 48 for 2020.
The play peaked in production in November 2019, with 1,525 thousand barrels of oil per day (mbd) and 3.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas. Crude oil production in Bakken peaked in November 2019, and since then was declining at 6% rate on an annual basis. However, muted energy demand and crashed oil price brought by Covid-19 pandemic, caused crude oil production in the play to drop by around 40% compared to the beginning of the year.
The lowest levels of production since the end of 2019 was in May 2020 with 890 mbd and 1.9 bcfd, which is a 41% drop in oil and 39% drop in natural gas production. Production in the play is expected to slowly grow as oil prices recover, however, it is not expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in the next five years.

DEARBORN, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ford Motor Company and Redwood Materials today announced they are working together to build out battery recycling and a domestic battery supply chain for electric vehicles. Ford and Redwood’s goal is to make electric vehicles more sustainable, drive down the cost for batteries, and ultimately help make electric vehicles accessible and affordable for more Americans.
Ford and Redwood are collaborating to integrate battery recycling into Ford’s domestic battery strategy. Redwood’s recycling technology can recover, on average, more than 95% of the elements like nickel, cobalt, lithium and copper. These materials can be reused in a closed-loop with Redwood moving to produce anode copper foil and cathode active materials for future battery production. By using locally produced, recycled battery materials, Ford can drive down costs, increase battery materials supply and reduce its reliance on imports and mining of raw materials.
“Ford is making electric vehicles more accessible and affordable through products like the all-electric F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit, and much more to come,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “Our partnership with Redwood Materials will be critical to our plan to build electric vehicles at scale in America, at the lowest possible cost and with a zero-waste approach.”
Ford is investing more than $30 billion in electrification through 2025, including the collaboration between Ford and Redwood, which will help deliver on Ford’s plans to localize the battery supply chain.
This builds on Ford’s previously announced plans to scale battery production through multiple BlueOvalSK battery plants in North America starting mid-decade. By building out a domestic, sustainable supply chain with recycled materials, Ford can drive down battery costs and help protect the environment. BlueOvalSK is the U.S. joint venture that Ford and SK Innovation intend to form, subject to definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, and other conditions.
Last week, Redwood announced it will produce strategic battery materials, supplying anode copper foil and cathode active materials to U.S. partners. Redwood plans to transform the lithium-ion battery supply chain by offering large-scale sources of these domestic materials to reduce the cost and environmental footprint of electric vehicle production. The local supply of these two materials is a key part of Ford’s commitment to reduce the environmental impact of battery manufacturing and continue to ramp up electric vehicle production in the U.S.
“We are designing our battery supply chain to create a fully closed-loop lifecycle to drive down the cost of electric vehicles via a reliable U.S. materials supply chain,” said Lisa Drake, Ford’s North America chief operating officer. “This approach will help ensure valuable materials in end-of-life products re-enter the supply chain and do not wind up in landfills, reducing our reliance on the existing commodities supply chain that will be quickly overwhelmed by industry demand.”
Redwood Materials, founded by JB Straubel and based in northern Nevada, is creating a circular supply chain for batteries and helping partners across the electric vehicle and clean energy industries by providing pathways, processes, and technologies to recycle and remanufacture lithium-ion batteries.
“Increasing our nation’s production of batteries and their materials through domestic recycling can serve as a key enabler to improve the environmental footprint of U.S. manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, decrease cost and, in turn, drive up domestic adoption of electric vehicles,” said Straubel, Redwood Materials CEO. “Redwood and Ford share an understanding that to truly make electric vehicles sustainable and affordable, we need to localize the existing complex and expensive supply chain network, create pathways for end-of-life vehicles, ramp lithium-ion recycling and increase battery production, all here in America.”
Longer-term, Ford and Redwood plan to work together on the best approach to collect and disassemble end-of-life batteries from Ford’s electric vehicles for recycling and remanufacturing to help reduce the cost associated with battery repairs and raw materials to manufacture all-new batteries.
“Our work with Redwood will, by design, help ensure the infrastructure is in place to cost-effectively recycle end-of-life Ford batteries to create a robust domestic materials stream and drive down the cost of electric vehicles,” Drake said.
Ford to support Redwood Materials expansion
To further advance these business opportunities between the companies, Ford invested $50 million into Redwood Materials to help the company expand its footprint in the U.S.

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AsiaPacific--UPC Hydrogen Pte Ltd ("UPC Hydrogen") is pleased to announce that it has acquired the exclusive license to produce hydrogen from technology developed by Proton Technologies Inc. (“Proton”) for a selection of countries in the Asia Pacific region. UPC Hydrogen is an affiliate of Renewables Asia Pacific Holdings Pte Ltd ("UPC Renewables"), a private company with 8 GW of wind, solar and storage in development, under construction or in operation across the Asia Pacific region.
The licenced countries include Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mongolia and Myanmar. UPC Hydrogen believes that the Proton technology can produce hydrogen in these countries at a price of less than US$1.00/KG from new, plugged, abandoned or uneconomic oil wells (especially heavy oil wells) whilst keeping any carbon from being emitted from the wells. The technology could provide low cost carbon free power in areas that are less rich in natural renewable sources than most countries and that have severe shortage of suitable land due to competing uses.
Steven Zwaan, Director of UPC Hydrogen said “When we first visited Proton’s production site in Canada in early 2020, our pre-covid view was excitement about both the potential to load balance renewable-weighted grids with baseload hydrogen, but also the longer-term prospect of an electricity cost potentially lower than wind and solar. Now the world is very attuned to the benefits of saving money while deeply decarbonizing using hydrogen without emitting carbon to surface. There is no need for fresh water for this process and the ecological disturbance is limited to existing infrastructure.”
Grant Strem, Chairman & CEO of Proton added "UPC Hydrogen has been an early and critical supporter in the advancement of this transformative technology. We are delighted to work with UPC Hydrogen and assist as they and we both proliferate this important extremely clean technology."

BRISTOL, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertical Aerospace (“Vertical”), a leading British eVTOL manufacturer which is pioneering the transition to carbon free aviation, today announced that Vertical and Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”), a leading Japanese integrated trading and investment business conglomerate have reached an agreement to explore sustainable, emissions free Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) travel solutions, focused on the application of Vertical’s flagship electric aircraft, the VA-X4, in the Japanese market. Marubeni has also agreed a conditional pre-order option of up to 200 of Vertical’s aircraft.
This important partnership builds on existing commercial partnerships between Vertical and American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Avolon, Iberojet and Bristow who with Marubeni have already collectively agreed conditional pre-orders for 1350 aircraft in total with a value of approximately $5.4bn.
Vertical and Marubeni will now begin jointly evaluating the requirements for eVTOL aircraft operations in Japan as well as other commercial considerations such as route and network planning, infrastructure requirements and capacity, plus engaging other interested parties who can play a role in launching AAM in Japan.
By working with such an established and respected Japanese organisation, Vertical expects to accelerate its ability to enter the Japanese market and offer Japanese consumers a safer, faster, cheaper and greener alternative to current short haul options in the country.
With its technological and regulatory advantages, such as its capacity to operate high frequency eVTOL traffic in a safe environment, Japan has great potential when it comes to the commercialization of the AAM market. Marubeni believes that eVTOLs have a number of use cases in Japan, such as inter-city, intra-city, airport shuttle and life support operations, that will benefit both customers and communities. Marubeni is expecting eVTOL operations to commence in 2025 and will utilize its existing aviation capabilities to maximize the quality of personal transportation.
Vertical is now working with partners in key locations around the world to establish AAM operations in markets where there is expected high demand for eVTOL operations. In the USA, American Airlines plans to work with Vertical on passenger operations and infrastructure development. In the United Kingdom, Virgin Atlantic and Vertical plan to work together to explore the joint venture launch of a Virgin Atlantic branded short haul eVTOL network, including operations and infrastructure development.
The VA-X4, Vertical’s flagship aircraft, is expected to be certified to the same standards as commercial airliners and is expected to be significantly safer and quieter than a helicopter. By combining its world-class team with a deliberately built ecosystem of top-tier partners, such as Microsoft, American Airlines, Avolon, Honeywell, Rolls-Royce, and more, Vertical has assembled a broad mix of people and world class organisations with both commercial track records as well as experience testing, building and certifying some of the world’s most advanced aircraft.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Vertical said:
“Marubeni is one of the most respected companies in Japan, and we are proud to be partnering with them as we look at ways to bring our VA-X4 to the Japanese market. Marubeni’s pre-order option for up to 200 aircraft provides us with a potential direct route to market and builds on our purchase agreements with American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Avolon, Iberojet and Bristow. This is the most exciting time in aviation for almost a century; electrification will transform flying in the 21st century in the same way the jet engine did 70 years ago and with Marubeni we are confident we have a great partner who can be a part of this transformation.”
Toru Okazaki, Senior Operating Officer, Aerospace & Ship Div at Marubeni said:
“We’re so excited to announce this great partnership with Vertical Aerospace, who is now leading the Advanced Aerial Mobility market. Through this strong partnership with Vertical, we are confident that we will successfully develop the AAM market in Japan. By seeking to popularise eVTOL technology, we will not only be enriching people’s lives but making meaningful inroads into the reduction of greenhouse gases and our path to net-zero.”

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Siemens Energy announced today that it will provide four static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) installations for LS Power Grid California, LLC (LS Power) substation projects in California. A STATCOM is a quick-reacting system capable of providing or absorbing reactive power to regulate the voltage at the point of connection to a power grid. This voltage regulation will be key to ensuring the reliability of the power grid as renewable energy sources are brought online, enabling further decarbonization of California’s energy mix.
With the retirement of Pacific Gas and Electric Co.’s (PG&E) Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in 2025, it is expected that there will be greater sensitivity to voltage instability, especially as PG&E integrates more renewable generation onto the grid. Two of the STATCOM systems are to be installed at LS Power’s Orchard substation connecting to the existing PG&E Gates 500 kilovolt (kV) substation in Fresno County to provide 848 megavolt-ampere (MVAr) of dynamic reactive power support. Under the light-load conditions, this support is anticipated to mitigate high voltages during extreme contingencies on the Bulk Power System.
The other two STATCOMs will be installed at LS Power’s new Fern Road substation connecting the Round Mountain to Table Mountain 500 kV transmission lines. The purpose of these systems will be for voltage control and voltage support in case of system events and transmission outages.
“We are proud to partner with LS Power on this project,” said Matt Neal, vice president of Transmission Solutions for Siemens Energy. “LS Power has a forward-looking strategy to help ensure grid stability as more and more renewable power sources are part of the generation mix. When it comes to decarbonizing our energy systems, this will be one of the most important flexible AC transmission projects in the U.S., both in terms of the power and voltage rating, as well as the challenging location from a seismic perspective. We’re proud to support California’s efforts to incorporate more renewable energy sources into the power generation mix in a way that is not only efficient, but reliable in all weather conditions.”
PG&E will replace the Diablo Canyon plant exclusively with energy sources that don’t emit CO2. The company has also promised to source 55% of its total electricity from the sun, wind, and other renewable energy sources by 2031.
