STOCKHOLM, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —  Pursuant to the engineering coordination permit from the Municipality of Tel-Aviv Jaffa (permit number 2020-4345) for the deployment of the grid connection works of the EWP-EDF One wave energy project, today,  Eco Wave Power (EWPG Holding AB, Stock Symbol: ECOWVE) is pleased to announce that it officially commenced the grid connection works in the Port of Jaffa, Israel.

The grid connection works are performed in two parts, as they include different routes within the port. The first part is performed by the infrastructure subcontractor YEHIMOVITZ SUISSA LTD, in the shipyard area of the Port of Jaffa, and will be completed by the end of January. Once these works are finalized the company will move forward to the second part of the grid connection route, which will be span across the warehouse area of the port. The works consist of removing the upper layer of asphalt in the dedicated grid connection route and preparing the tunnels necessary for the electric cables.

 «We are entering 2021 in full force, ready to push hard for the opening of our second grid connected project, while developing additional projects in our projects pipeline.» said Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power.

The Eco Wave Power cable system will span approximately 170 meters of underground cables. Due to the onshore nature of the Eco Wave Power technology, the grid connection works will be straightforward and will not involve any cable laying on the seabed, which are known to be extremely expensive and complex. In addition, the cable length will be significantly shorter and more cost-efficient than cables used for offshore energy projects.This highlights the significant advantages of the EWP onshore technology, in comparison with offshore solutions.The EWP-EDF one project is executed in collaboration with EDF Renewables IL and co-funding from the Israeli Energy Ministry.

A Kamloops, BC Canada Carbon Removal Startup Company is Seeking a Junior Loan Partner and Staged Financing Partner to Scale Up Their Nature-Based Hydroxyl Release to Reverse Climate Warming

ReductionTech: Removes all GHGs

KAMLOOPS, BC, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Naturally occurring hydroxyl, (with the chemical formula OH*) are all around us and quickly and safely remove GHGs and pollutants from our atmosphere. It is mother nature’s exquisite 2.4 billion year old sewer system. The hydroxyl has been the main cleaning and removal system «but we have overtaxed the system by emitting too much, too many different kinds of pollution». Hydroxyl is produced by ReductionTech from a small amount of ordinary air in a green process that has no moving parts except for the air supply. It will use only 1/55 millionth of the atmosphere to obtain oxygen, which is a radical departure from sucking the whole atmosphere to the equipment-a huge engineering and cost savings.

Thousands of the production cells, which are low tech and easy to operate can work together to disperse the hydroxyl. Using this ancient, planetary cleaning chemistry which leaves no unwanted residues or side reactions to worry about dumping has recyclable working parts. This will also allow the technology to only charge $10 per CO2e at scale, compared to other removal technologies which some are pricing at well over $100/CO2e. With low engineering inputs, and operating simplicity, a ReductionTech global scale up footprint uses about 8 acres of land, plus the green electricity supply footprint.

«Our final design needs to be submitted to the Canadian Standards Association for approval and this is what the $70k funds are for,» said Viva Cundliffe. «Once we have «recognized offset units», we can offer our services globally.»

The hydroxyl offers removal of all GHGs at once; providing a cleanup of air that rivals a pure, preindustrial atmosphere, and it does this very rapidly as it fans out into the atmosphere by diffusion and prevailing wind. The GHGs are terminated by well known transformation reactions and weathering. Hydroxyl is also the main remover of methane, which is still on the rise, and as a precaution, humanity should scale something affordable and safe.

«We look forward to financing this technology with the right partner with great hope and optimism for humanity with this technology in hand,» continued Viva Cundliffe.

Albemarle Announces Expansion of Nevada Site to Increase Domestic Production of Lithium

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals industry, announced today that it will expand capacity at the company’s lithium production facility in Silver Peak, Nev., and begin a program to evaluate clays and other available <span…

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals industry, announced today that it will expand capacity at the company’s lithium production facility in Silver Peak, Nev., and begin a program to evaluate clays and other available Nevada resources for commercial production of lithium, a critical mineral and key component in advancing green mobility and a more sustainable future.

As global demand for electric vehicles (EV) grows, North American automotive manufacturers are seeking to regionalize their supply chain for greater security and sustainability. Albemarle’s investment in Silver Peak, which produces lithium from brine extracted from the Clayton Valley basin, will support this increased demand for domestic supply of lithium. Beginning in 2021, the company plans to invest $30 million to $50 million to double the current production at the Nevada site by 2025, making full use of its brine water rights. Additionally, in 2021 the company plans to commence exploration of clay and evaluate technology that could accelerate the viability of lithium production from clay resources in the region. 

«As a leader in the lithium industry, our priority is to optimize our world-class resources and production. This includes Silver Peak, a site uniquely positioned as the only lithium-producing resource in the United States,» said Eric Norris, Albemarle President, Lithium. «This investment in domestic capacity shows that we are committed to looking at the many ways in which Silver Peak can provide domestic support for the growing EV market.»

In addition to examining clay resources, Albemarle is seeking ways to optimize lithium extraction from its brine resources, including those in the Clayton Valley. Through a Department of Energy-sponsored research project with Argonne National Laboratory, the company is investigating a process to streamline production of lithium hydroxide, which is principally used in EV batteries, from brine resources.

Albemarle’s domestic resources also include the historic 800-acre Kings Mountain, N.C., lithium site, which is one of the richest spodumene ore deposits in the world and home to the company’s global lithium technical center and piloting operations, as well as lithium-containing brines in Arkansas.

About Albemarle
Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is a global specialty chemicals company with leading positions in lithium, bromine and refining catalysts. We think beyond business-as-usual to power the potential of companies in many of the world’s largest and most critical industries, such as energy, electronics, and transportation.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Create more value out of agriculture by-products and waste: the NoAW research project https://noaw2020.eu has found innovative break-through solutions for up-cycling unavoidable and continuously generated by-products from agriculture. Thanks to the project, straw residues, manure and winery wastes are transformed into eco-friendly bioplastics, biofertilizer and biogas. Thus, the circular economy principle brings sustainable solutions for agro-waste valorisation – reducing conventional plastics, mitigating global warming and protecting natural resources.

The project is funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Program of the European Union.

Value beyond anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste

The boosting action of innovative pre- and post-treatment of the agro-wastes extends the scope of the types of feedstocks that can be used in biogas facilities. The innovative two-step anaerobic digestion produces biogas, biohydrogen, biomethane, biofertilizers and high added-value polyhydroxy-alkanoate (PHA) biopolymers in the same plant.

Next generation of eco-friendly plastics in the agri-food sector

Using innovative processing routes, the project converted straw, vinery and other vegetal wastes into innovative biodegradable composite materials (combining for example PHAs and lignocellulosic fibres) to be used as sustainable food and non-food packaging and many other applications like in agriculture and horticulture, to replace some petrochemical single-use polluting plastics.

Tailoring sustainable regional business and marketing concepts  

With an integrative and strategic approach, the project suggests combining techno-economic and environmental assets and derives relevant, applicable regional business concepts for agro-technical clusters of various sizes and applications.

Connecting people and business to drive innovation

The NoAW project is coming to a successful conclusion on the Final Stakeholder Webinar on 18-19 January 2021. This free online event – comprising two half-day sessions – will provide participants the opportunity to discuss current and upcoming innovations in agro-waste management and the creation of biosourced materials and energy. Top-experts across continents, from Europe and China, will share their knowledge and experiences on successful innovative solutions, emerging tools, methods and technologies developed in the NoAW project and beyond. Market-leading companies are present: a unique opportunity for networking and matchmaking.

BELLFLOWER, California, 7 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El reciente lanzamiento del libro Un día a la vez, escrito por la autora Ana Cristina Escobar, y publicado por la editorial Page Publishing, nos muestra un guía, narrada en primera persona y bajo las experiencias de la autora, donde sobresalen las luchas y pruebas que se presenta día a día en nuestras vidas, y de como podemos superarlas de la mano de Dios.

Un día a la vez, es una obra escrita por la mano de la autora Ana Cristina Escobar, una escritora prominente nacida en la ciudad de Santa Ana, El Salvador. Cursó sus estudios en el colegio Medalla Milagrosa de ese país. Cristina es madre, conocedora de tres idiomas, actualmente estudia Nutrición y se dedica al mercadeo en esa misma área. Ha dedicado parte de su vida a elaborar escritos, por su pasión por el evangelismo y siendo conocedora de tantas historias, nace en su corazón el deseo de escribir este libro. Cristina, actualmente reside en EE. UU. y es parte activa en una Iglesia cristiana local en el área de Los Ángeles, California, congregación en la cual es servidora y maestra de jóvenes. Ha viajado a diferentes estados donde ha tenido el privilegio de poder extenderlo, es parte del ministerio que lleva ayuda a los más necesitados. Sus expectativas son muchas, ella piensa que los niños y los jóvenes son el futuro de un país en el cual debemos enfocarnos y ayudarlos a salir adelante. A ella le gusta mucho ser parte del cambio y es por eso que decidió compartir con otros lo que, en sabiduría y conocimiento ha recibido.

La autora de esta maravillosa obra literaria, Ana Cristina Escobar, nos habla un poco acerca de la misma: «Este libro está enfocado en comprender por qué hay mucho sufrimiento o diversas situaciones en la vida que pueden ser menos dolorosas, pero que por vivir afanados no nos damos cuenta de que, aunque no lo vemos existe; está ahí para nosotros, para todos. Alguien que nos puede cambiar el panorama y de hacer ver lo importante que es vivir Un día a la vez. Cuantas veces hemos escuchado ‘Estoy haciendo estos planes a futuro’ y, lastimosamente, no se llegan a completar porque estas personas ya partieron. He escuchado testimonios en los hospitales donde las personas lo que más lamentan es no haber disfrutado a su familia; personas que están en una silla de ruedas y desean dar un paseo por un parque y no lo pueden hacer, pero cuando pudieron por el afán no lo hicieron; personas que ahorraron mucho dinero, pero que, lastimosamente, les llegó una enfermedad y ahí se les fueron todos sus ahorros. Son historias que duelen en alma y corazón, y así puedo comentarte muchas historias. Con este libro quiero invitarte a que lo intentes. En lo personal no hubo manera de llegar a este punto de tranquilidad y paz en mi corazón, sin la guía de las escrituras y del Espíritu Santo y es por eso que está basado en el mismo, no hubo manera de entender todo lo que en mi vida había pasado si no fue hasta que, poco a poco, me fue llevando al conocimiento y esa sabiduría que solo viene de Él por medio de sus escrituras. Lo más importante y que por este motivo y propósito nació este libro es hacerte la pregunta: ¿Ya entregaste tu vida a Jesucristo? Es el único camino para llegar al Padre (Juan 14) y es la única manera de vivir Un día a la vez».

Publicada por la editorial Page Publishing, la obra de la autora Ana Cristina Escobar, Un día a la vez, nos muestra un guía, narrada en primera persona y bajo las experiencias de la autora, donde sobresalen las luchas y pruebas que se presenta día a día en nuestras vidas, y de cómo podemos superarlas de la mano de Dios.
