Edison partners with the state and others in working to reduce emissions across all sectors of the economy

ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For California to meet its 2030 (and 2045) decarbonization goals, it must quadruple its annual rate of greenhouse gas reductions by adopting market-transforming policies within the next one to two years. This is according to “Mind the Gap: Policies for California’s Countdown to 2030,” a new paper published by Edison International.



“California is already experiencing the accelerating and compounding effects of climate change,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “Not only must public policy address the uncertainty and risk inherent in climate change, it must be reframed to redress historical, present and future inequities, such as the greater impact climate change is having on low-income residents and communities of color. This has significant implications for planning, funding needs, funding mechanisms and program and project execution. At Edison, we will continue working in partnership with the state and federal governments and with other stakeholders, including the communities we serve, to advance policies.”

Previous papers from Southern California Edison, Edison International’s utility subsidiary, identified an achievable and affordable route to realize California's 2030 and 2045 greenhouse gas reduction goals by dramatically increasing renewable energy and storage, using that clean energy to electrify other sectors like transportation and buildings, employing low-carbon fuels like clean hydrogen for hard-to-electrify applications and using carbon capture.

Mind the Gap: Policies for California’s Countdown to 2030” is Edison International’s analysis of the policy changes and additions needed to ensure that California meets its 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal — a reduction vital for the state to ultimately achieve its goal to decarbonize its economy by 2045.

California has been reducing GHG emissions by an average of 1% per year since 2005, which is notable given California’s economy has grown 3% per year over the same period. To meet its 2030 goal, however, the reduction must rise to 4.1% each year through 2030. The reductions resulting from current policies, even if successfully implemented, will fall short of the 2030 target by about 30 million metric tons.

“Our paper discusses where the state has made progress and which additional actions are needed now to meet California’s 2030 goals,” said Pizarro. “We provide specific state and federal policy recommendations for closing the gaps in critical areas: decarbonizing the power supply; preparing the grid for shifts in usage and increasing demands; and efficiently electrifying transportation and buildings.”

“The electric sector has made significant progress in reducing GHG emissions, reducing its share over 40% since 2005,” said Erica Bowman, director of the Edison International CEO’s Office and principal author of the policy paper. “However, decarbonization requires GHG emissions reductions across all sectors of the economy. Federal and state policies are needed to continue the progress of the electric sector and accelerate the electrification of other sectors and to ensure the reliability and resilience of the grid. These include policies that support sufficient transmission infrastructure to interconnect renewable resources as well as adequate distribution infrastructure.”

In contrast, GHG emissions from the transportation sector have been increasing since 2013 and remain California’s biggest decarbonization challenge. While electric vehicle (EV) sales in California have outpaced the national average and trends point to increasingly favorable economics for electric vehicles, additional incentives for EV purchases and charging infrastructure will be needed. On the current trajectory, California will fall short by 60% for transportation electrification and more than 50% for residential building electrification in 2030.

Most building decarbonization assessments confirm the electrification of buildings represents a significant, cost-effective opportunity to reduce GHG emissions both in the near and long terms. Edison International’s internal analysis concludes that the current trajectory of programs and policies supporting building electrification is insufficient to achieve California's GHG emissions target.

“There is also a crucial role for the federal government to play, especially in helping create functioning markets that support the affordable electrification of key sectors,” Bowman added. “Substantial capital must be deployed throughout the country if the U.S. is going to meet the Nationally Determined Contribution goal of 50%-52% economywide emission reductions by 2030.”

The decarbonization actions needed for California to meet its 2030 goals are no exception to this capital need. Additionally, these capital investments in renewable electricity, efficient buildings and electric vehicles offset substantial annual fossil fuels and maintenance costs.

“We believe the role of utility companies is to work in close partnership with our state’s policymakers and regulatory bodies to develop and implement the necessary structures and conditions to support the successful, equitable and affordable transition to a clean-energy economy,” Pizarro said. “This will require greater funding, improving, clarifying and harmonizing goals, standards, planning and approaches to how the transition takes place and how quickly.”

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#3rdPlatform--International Data Corporation (IDC) recently published a series of 3rd Platform Industry Spending Guides that provide in-depth forecasts for technology spending. The guides cover nine industries – banking, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, securities and investment services, and utilities – with detailed spending projections for 3rd Platform technologies (mobility, cloud, big data and analytics (BDA), and social) and Innovation Accelerators (artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), 3D printing, Internet of Things (IoT), security, and robotics) as well as traditional, 2nd Platform technologies.

"While IT spending is contracting in some areas, spending on 3rd Platform technologies will see double-digit growth throughout the post-COVID recovery period," said Karen Massey, research manager, Customer Insights & Analysis. "However, the investment priorities are somewhat varied across industries. The financial services sector, which includes the banking, securities and investment services, and insurance industries, relies more heavily on cloud, mobility, and big data and analytics, for example. But the Internet of Things (IoT) is the primary investment focus in the other six industries, especially manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities."

3rd Platform technologies will become the largest area of technology investment in the banking industry by 2022 with cloud and mobility accounting for 30% or more of all industry spending throughout the forecast. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%, spending on big data and analytics will nearly equal mobility by the end of the forecast while cloud spending takes on more prominence with a five-year CAGR of 16.2%. Consumer banking will remain the largest sub-industry, accounting for more than half of all technology spending by the industry throughout the forecast.

The insurance and securities and investment services industries will follow a similar spending trajectory as banking with cloud and mobility investments leading the way, followed closely by big data and analytics. Both industries will also see similar levels of investment in next-generation security and AI systems. One area where the two industries diverge is IoT spending, which will be notably higher for the insurance industry, led by the property & casualty sub-industry.

"In response to the need for resiliency and scalability in financial services operations, our research has shown accelerated growth in spending on infrastructure technologies like cloud and security, and in business areas like digital banking, risk management in insurance, and analytics in the capital markets industry," said Jerry Silva, program vice president, IDC Financial Insights. "And because many areas in financial institutions are limiting budgets in the face of an uncertain lending environment, investments in as-a-Service cloud solutions and platforms will increase their share of the IT dollar."

The manufacturing industry will deliver the largest investments in 3rd Platform technologies with spending growing to more than $800 billion in 2024. IoT will be the largest area of investment, accounting for more than 30% of the industry's IT spending throughout the forecast. Robotics will be the second largest area of spending with strong investments from the automotive, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and aerospace and defense sub-industries. Robotics and AI systems will see some of the fastest spending growth with a five-year CAGRs of 19.2% and 19.9%, respectively.

IoT will also be the largest area of investment in both the utilities and the oil and gas industries as they increase their use of sensors in smart meters and for distribution automation. Cloud and mobility will see similar levels of investment at the beginning of the forecast, but cloud will benefit from significantly stronger spending growth throughout the forecast in both industries. Robotics will also overtake both cloud and mobility by the end of the forecast to become the second largest area of investment in the oil and gas industry.

In retail, IoT investments will account for nearly a quarter of all technology spending as organizations focus on omni-channel operations. Cloud and mobility will account for another quarter of all retail spending while AR/VR, robotics, and AI systems will see the fastest spending growth as companies invest in customer experience and automation. For general merchandise retailers like Walmart and Target, cloud is the top spending priority while the food store sub-industry will focus more of its spending on IoT along with cloud and mobility.

IoT is also the largest area of spending within the healthcare industry, where providers (hospitals, physician clinics, and other providers) are utilizing remote sensors for bedside telemetry, asset tracking, and remote health monitoring. Mobility and cloud will be the next largest areas of spending with cloud forecast to grow at a notably faster rate (14.0% CAGR). Investments in AI systems and robotics will also experience strong growth over the course of the forecast with five-year CAGRs of 21.0% and 16.8% respectively.

Government spending on 3rd Platform technologies is forecast to grow to nearly $300 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 11.6%. IoT will be the largest area of spending, accounting for more than one third of all 3rd Platform investments as governments at all levels invest in public safety and emergency response programs, public infrastructure asset management, and intelligent transportation systems. Mobility and cloud will be the next largest areas of investment with cloud spending overtaking mobility by the end of the forecast with a five-year CAGR of 12.9%. AR/VR and AI systems will see the fastest spending growth with CAGRs of 84.0% and 25.8% respectively.

IDC's 3rd Platform Industry Spending Guides provide an in-depth industry market forecast for 3rd Platform (mobility, cloud, big data and analytics, and social) and Innovation Accelerators (artificial intelligence, augmented reality/virtual reality, 3D printing, Internet of Things, security, and robotics) technologies as well as spending data for hardware, software, and IT services, plus two delivery types (cloud and non-cloud), across nine geographic regions and 64 sub-industries and lines of business. The guides remove duplicative spending (overlap or double counting) that is inherent to individual technology forecasts, thereby offering a wholistic industry and subindustry/line-of business forecast for emerging technology markets. This version (V1 2021) of the Spending Guides incorporates updated assumptions for political, economic, and pandemic impacts across all technology and industry markets.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Africa Diesel Generator Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The Africa diesel generator market size is expected to reach USD 8.36 billion by 2028. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2028.

The rise in demand for these products is being witnessed with the easing of lockdown restrictions in countries in Africa, which will increase the demand for diesel generators from this power range over the forecast period.

Above 3,000 kVA diesel generators are mainly utilized by large-scale industries involved in metal production, food and beverages, mining, and automobile manufacturing. Major vendors such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Caterpillar provide diesel generators in this power rating range which are capable of providing emergency power supply and continuous power supply in case of unexpected power outages.

The banking sector came under the essential category during the pandemic, which resulted in the normal operation of banks in countries of the African region. However, construction of new banks and renovation in existing banks was on hold in the majority of the countries owing to restrictions on construction activities during the pandemic and fund diversion by banks to financially sustain the pandemic.

Diesel generators in tourism sectors are utilized in hotels and resorts. Diesel generators are majorly utilized for providing backup power supply in case of short or longer-duration power outages. However, diesel generators also account to be a source of continuous power supply in tourist places which has no access to grid power. Hotel owners generally opt for diesel generators over other backup power supply options owing to low capital cost and easy availability of diesel.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a reduction in demand from this power range due to the closure of automobile manufacturing, mining, and construction activities as per the mandate of lockdown imposed in various countries.

The rise in demand for medical equipment such as ventilators and necessary medicines has resulted in high demand for diesel generators from the pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturing industries.

Additionally, the lifting of lockdown in various countries has resulted in starting of industrial activities which are expected to boost the growth of this power segment over the forecast period.

Africa Diesel Generator Market Report Highlights

  • In terms of revenue, the up to 100 KVA segment accounted for a prominent share in the market in 2020 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period
  • The up to 100 KVA power rating segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 57.50% of the revenue share in 2020
  • In 2020, South Africa accounted for more than 16% revenue share in the overall market. The government is taking various structural reforms to facilitate growth in the country over the forecast period
  • An increase in urbanization in the country has driven water management and demand for housing projects in Algeria. Further, the government has set a goal to build around 55 new dams in the country by 2030 for achieving a water storage capacity of around 12 billion cubic meters

GALESBURG, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#automakers--Power management company Eaton today announced its Vehicle Group has introduced a new zero-leak Compact Combo Valve that safely vents harmful evaporative fuel vapors in the tank by stacking a Fill Limit Vent Valve (FLVV) and a new Zero-Leak Grade Vent Valve (GVV).



A key benefit of the Compact Combo is reduced fuel vapor permeation. The smaller footprint of the stacked valves allows for a tighter seal when welded to the tank, in turn reducing permeation.

This innovative configuration reduces the product’s footprint by 20 mm, which decreases potential leak paths and provides fuel tank manufacturers more design flexibility. The Zero-Leak GVV fulfills all government-mandated requirements for zero-leak vapor valves.

“Eaton's world-class engineering teams are leading the way in developing innovative and highly efficient fuel vapor management products,” said Brian Contat, business unit director, Fuel Emissions, Eaton’s Vehicle Group. “As evaporative emissions reduction and vehicle standards become more stringent, Eaton’s fuel emissions products deliver a competitive advantage worldwide that helps our customers achieve or exceed upcoming emissions regulations.”

New Compact Combo technology reduces hydrocarbon emissions during refueling

The new Compact Combo Valve technology reduces hydrocarbon emissions with 98 percent efficiency during the vehicle refueling process and allows manufacturers to meet vehicle hydrocarbon emissions standards while the vehicle is parked.

The Compact Combo Valve has several unique design features that increase valve functionality to meet both tank and customer requirements. These features include a seal that reduces liquid leak in static venting conditions, as well as the ability to change the shut-off height of the FLVV through component substitution. Eaton also offers an added slosh baffle feature for vehicle applications involving aggressive driving dynamics that may cause shifting liquid fuel to leak.

“We can use short or long FLVV housings, depending on the application, for maximum permeation reduction,” Contat said. “We are able to cover all shut-off height requirements to vent above the shut-off valve when the main refueling valve is closed and the GVV shut-off height remains constant and optimized.”

Zero-Leak GVV prevents fuel leakage in all conditions

The GVV’s position at the top of the fuel tank prevents liquid leakage during all situations, including when the vehicle is traveling or parked at an angle. This is an added benefit when compared with competitive technologies that do not allow optimized positioning within the fuel tank during such conditions.

“Our design gives customers greater freedom to perform grade venting, which allows manufacturers to meet zero-leak vapor valve requirements,” Contat said. “You have to ensure you’re venting during all normal vehicle operations and degrees of parking.”

The zero-leak vapor valve requirement is an industry requisite to meet vehicle safety, driveability, emissions and component durability specifications. Eaton’s new Zero-Leak GVV sealing methodology employs an elastomeric seal over-molded onto a substrate to ensure this requirement is met.

Eaton’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the environment through the use of power management technologies and services. We provide sustainable solutions that help our customers effectively manage electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power – more safely, more efficiently, and more reliably. Eaton’s 2020 revenues were $17.9 billion, and we sell products to customers in more than 175 countries. We have approximately 85,000 employees. For more information, visit www.eaton.com

Getka, UNIMOT, and NuScale Power to explore commercialization of NuScale Power plants in Poland

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power, Getka Group (Getka) and UNIMOT S.A. (UNIMOT) announced today the three companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with business purposes including to explore the deployment of NuScale’s small modular reactor (SMR) technology as a coal repurposing solution for existing coal-fired power plants in Poland. Getka is an Oklahoma-based integrated energy company providing construction, and delivery of petroleum, refined products, and alternative energy. Through its Zero Impact Strategy, Getka is focused on reducing emissions output through renewable energy. UNIMOT is a Poland-based multi-energy Capital Group that offers its wholesale and retail customers fuel products, gas and electricity, including renewable energy. This agreement demonstrates the value of international partnership and collaboration in utilizing NuScale’s SMR technology to repurpose coal plants across the country.


Under the MOU, NuScale will support Getka and UNIMOT’s examination of NuScale’s SMR technology as a coal repowering/repurposing solution for existing coal-fueled power plants and more broadly for new nuclear plant implementations in Poland. The examination will include an analysis of technical, economic, legal, regulatory, financial, and organizational factors.

“NuScale is excited to partner with Getka and UNIMOT on the potential deployment of NuScale Power plants in Poland,” said John Hopkins, Chairman and CEO of NuScale Power. “The partnership between these three companies demonstrates the versatility and value of NuScale’s SMR technology for a variety of applications. NuScale’s SMRs are an ideal clean, reliable, and affordable energy solution to repurpose retiring coal fueled power plants across the Poland.”

“This project aligns with our commitment to decarbonize and diversify Poland’s energy infrastructure,” said Dariusz Cichocki, Chairman and CEO of Getka Group. “Through our ongoing partnership with UNIMOT, we are pleased to partner with NuScale to bring innovative solutions to market in Central Europe.”

“We are pleased that this is another area to develop low-emission projects in Poland, where we can be as involved as the UNIMOT Group in decarbonization. Our role will be promoting SMR technology as a reliable alternative for coal technologies, and acquiring business partners in the Polish market. Ultimately, we also intend to create a platform of collaboration with Polish academic centers and potential Polish component suppliers to develop this technology in our country. Because of this, we can actively support the energy transformation of Poland, simultaneously diversifying our Group’s business” said Adam Sikorski, President of the Management Board of UNIMOT S.A.
