Waga Energy and Ferrovial Servicios to deliver massive landfill gas-to-biomethane project in Spain

The Can Mata project is the first landfill gas injection project in Europe to be financed by a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

The Can Mata project is the first landfill gas injection project in Europe to be financed by a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

GRENOBLE, France, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Ferrovial Servicios, a leading global service operator, has selected Waga Energy to produce biomethane at the Can Mata landfill, one of Spain’s largest landfill, near Barcelona. The site will be the first in Spain to use the WAGABOX® purification technology, developed by Waga Energy to recover landfill gas in the form of biomethane, a renewable substitute for natural gas.

The WAGABOX® unit at the Can Mata site will be commissioned in 2022. It will treat up to 2,200 m3/h of landfill gas and inject 70 GWh of biomethane per year into the gas grid of the Spanish operator Nedgia, which is equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 14,000 Spanish households or 200 lorries. The project will avoid the emission of 17,000 tonnes of CO2 per year by substituting renewable gas for natural gas.

This is the first ever landfill gas injection project to be financed by a long-term power purchase agreement in Europe. This method of financing is common for renewable electricity projects, but rarely used for green gas projects, generally unable to provide buyers with a competitive price over the long term.

This first-ever «Biomethane Purchase Agreement» has been made possible thanks to the proven efficiency of the WAGABOX® technology, combined to Waga Energy’s unique expertise in the management of landfill gas injection projects.

The two partners have adopted a business model that guarantees high performance throughout the project cycle. Waga Energy will purchase landfill gas from Ferrovial Servicios and finance the construction and operation of the WAGABOX® unit, manage relations with the gas network operator, and the sale of the biomethane. Waga Energy will invest 7.5 million euros to commission the unit and connect the landfill to the gas grid, located four kilometers away.

The result of 10 years of R&D within Air Liquid group and Waga Energy, WAGABOX® is a breakthrough technology for upgrading landfill gas into grid-compliant biomethane. It combines membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation to separate the methane from other compounds of landfill gas. Ten units are already in operation in France, supplying 35,000 homes and avoiding 45,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.

U.S. Soy Launches The Pilot Phase Of Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy Mark

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Whatever you make, U.S. Soy makes you more sustainable. That is why the food industry is innovating to improve sustainability in their product supply chains from farm to fork. By labeling soy ingredients with the new Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark, you are recognizing that those soybeans originated from a system of continuous environmental improvement.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Whatever you make, U.S. Soy makes you more sustainable. That is why the food industry is innovating to improve sustainability in their product supply chains from farm to fork. By labeling soy ingredients with the new Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark, you are recognizing that those soybeans originated from a system of continuous environmental improvement.

From January 19 through March 19, the United Soybean Board (USB) is teaming up with partners from Soylent and DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences that will be participating in a pilot program to market their products and ingredients as being made with Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy.

«DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences is proud to partner with USB and Soylent in developing the Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark, which represents the many ways that U.S. growers are working to ensure that U.S. soy sets the global benchmark for sustainable plant protein production,» says Tony Andrew, Protein Solutions Business Unit Leader at DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences.

The new mark denotes agricultural practices, such as no-till and cover crops, that deliver sustainable outcomes in biodiversity, soil carbon, water management, and overall soil conservation. U.S. Soy delivers the food industry a quality ingredient to help them meet their sustainability goals by prioritizing soil health and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy usage. 

Customers can be assured that products carrying the mark contain soy ingredients that:

  • Were grown in the United States
  • Are compliant with all U.S. environmental regulations
  • Protect highly erodible soils and wetlands
  • Were grown on family farms with responsible labor practices

«It’s an honor to be one of the first companies to receive the Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark. For years, we have created market-leading products rooted in science and sustainability, so it was important to us to be a part of this pilot,» says Demir Vangelov, CEO of Soylent.

Across the U.S., soybean farmers like Belinda Burrier are focused on being good stewards of natural resources and have been utilizing sustainable practices on their farms for years. «It feels good knowing that when I grow this nutrient-dense protein, I am not only helping the food industry feed millions of families across the country sustainably but also contributing to a cleaner planet for the next generation,» said Burrier.

Sustainable ingredients won’t just help food companies and industrial partners to meet their sustainability goals, but their business goals, too as consumer preference for sustainable, U.S. grown products continues to increase. According to USB’s 27th annual Food Industry Insights survey, when a product is associated with the Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark, the majority (nearly 70%) of consumers familiar with sustainable farming said they would be more likely to purchase the product – showing a strong correlation between the mark and consumer sales. The mark also assures customers that soy used in ingredients was grown in the U.S. on family farms with responsible labor practices and is compliant with all U.S. environmental regulations.

After the pilot program, USB anticipates making the mark available to other interested companies. Requests to use the Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark will be accepted through a USB managed portal. To participate, the customer will provide an overview of their supply chain which will be reviewed by a third-party auditor. The percentage of soy used by end product will be measured and applied against supply standards on a mass balance basis. The Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark is based on a national system of sustainability and conservation laws and regulations and farmer participation in the U.S. Farm Program. It seeks to increase demand for soybeans grown by U.S. farmers that commit to practices such as conservation tillage, cover crops and responsible nutrient management (e.g. right source, right rate, right time, and right place). The Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark applies to those soybean acres grown under best practices on-farm.

To learn more about the Sustainably Grown U.S. Soy mark, or interested in applying to use the mark on your own ingredients and products, visit www.sustainableussoymark.com.

About United Soybean Board
United Soybean Board’s 78 volunteer farmer-directors work on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers to achieve maximum value for their soy checkoff investments. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds in programs and partnerships to drive soybean innovation beyond the bushel and increase preference for U.S. soy. That preference is based on U.S. soybean meal and oil quality and the sustainability of U.S. soybean farmers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta, the industry leader in commerce-centric electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, today announced an oversubscribed Series D financing of $125 million. Goldman Sachs acted as exclusive placement agent to the Company in connection with the financing.

Volta builds and operates an EV charging network with the highest utilization in the United States. Strategically placed in front of essential businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and hospitals, Volta’s EV network supports a larger consumer trend toward vehicle electrification by placing fueling stations in parking lots directly where consumers already spend their time and money. Currently located in 23 states and over 200 municipalities, Volta’s unique approach has gained significant acceptance and penetration in the market.

«The electrification of mobility is one of the largest infrastructural shifts of our generation and Volta’s charging network is ready to anchor the accompanying consumer behavior that will change along with it,» said Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta. «As we transition out of the carbon economy, we will see a fundamental transformation of our existing fueling infrastructure. Businesses anticipating this shift can take advantage of a revenue transfer from gas stations to retail locations in the community where consumers go, live, shop and play.»

Unique to the EV market, Volta’s business model centers around evolving spending habits caused by the move to electric vehicles by building charging infrastructure that reinforces the desired behavior at each location. Volta’s charging stations feature eye-catching 55-inch digital displays, doubling as a sophisticated media platform providing brands a way to reach millions of shoppers seconds before they enter the store to make a purchase. These sponsor-supported charging stations provide free energy to customers who are able to plug in their vehicles where and when they shop. Volta’s business partners who install charging stations experience immediate returns; they report an increase in spend, dwell time and engagement on site. 

The Series D fundraising caps a banner year for Volta, bringing the fast-growing company’s total equity financing to over $200 million. The capital raise will further accelerate Volta’s efforts to unlock the value of their contract portfolio, and increase their investment in product, engineering and network infrastructure. It will also allow Volta to begin its international expansion.

«As consumer interest in environmental initiatives takes hold across the economy, Volta is positioning itself as a top-of-mind brand in the electric vehicle space,» said Chris Wendel, Co-Founder and President of Volta. «Volta is accelerating the future of infrastructure as a catalyst with its unique business model that brings a differentiated value proposition to our real estate and retail partners. By bringing charging stations to essential businesses, our end user will increase their dwell time, engagement and spend.»

Volta’s unique approach is already gaining significant acceptance and penetration in the market. The company has signed agreements with well-known property owners including Albertsons Companies, Giant Food, Regency Centers, Wegmans and Topgolf. In addition, Volta’s highly desirable media network has attracted some of the world’s best brands including GM, Hulu, Nestlé, Polestar, Porsche and Unilever.

«Since our initial investment in Volta in 2018, excitement and interest in electrification – and specifically solving for public charging solutions – has continued to gain momentum,» said John Tough, Managing Partner at Energize Ventures, a major and existing investor in this round. «Our conviction in this team has similarly grown, and we believe Volta is poised to lead this market as the most capital-efficient and highly utilized EV charging network in the country.»

About Volta

For over a decade, Volta has been building a nationwide electric vehicle charging network to drive the world forward. Named after Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the electric battery, Volta’s award-winning charging stations benefit brands, consumers, and real-estate locations by providing valuable advertising space to businesses and free charging to drivers. Strategically located in places where consumers already spend their time and money, Volta’s chargers are currently the most used electric vehicle charging stations in the United States.  Headquartered in San Francisco, Volta is bringing to communities the means of building a sustainable fueling network for the 21st century.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CIBO, the technology company that delivers decision-ready insights on all U.S. cropland, and Peoples Company, the nationally-recognized land transaction and advisory firm, today announced they will join forces to offer carbon credits on more than 20,000 acres of managed land. The partnership makes Peoples the first land management company to offer carbon credits.

«Together, CIBO and Peoples Company are leading the way in economically and environmentally sustainable incentives to growers and owners of cropland in the U.S.,» said Steve Bruere, CEO at Peoples Company.

«The benefits of sustainable and regenerative agriculture are clear over the medium to long term,» continued Bruere. «What is missing is a way to create immediate, new incentives for sustainable management. As the leading farmland management firm in the U.S., we are uniquely suited to combine our expertise and reach with CIBO Impact to provide carbon credit incentives.»

Through the partnership, Peoples Company has committed to initially enroll over 20,000 managed acres in the CIBO Impact platform, creating potentially $400,000 of new revenue for owners and operators in the first year when all credits are verified and sold. Additionally, Peoples Company and CIBO are working together to create partial incentive pre-payments for enrolled land. Under the partnership, for the first time, growers and owners will be eligible to receive immediate incentive payments against expected future sales of carbon credits.

«Partnering with Peoples Company makes sense, for farmers and for sustainable agriculture,» said Daniel Ryan, CEO at CIBO Technologies. «Peoples Company is as forward-thinking about sustainable farmland management as we are about delivering enabling technology. This partnership charts a pathway that others should follow.»

CIBO Impact offers a streamlined approach for enrolling land, quantifying the carbon impact of various practices, and remotely verifying practices to generate and sell carbon credits — all with minimal effort on the part of farmers. CIBO uses ecosystem simulation and modeling to quantify the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration, and uses advanced computer vision to verify practices.  Covered practices currently include nitrogen application, tillage, irrigation, cash-crop identification and cover-crop emergence.

Regenerative management decisions are made annually by growers and owners, and create real, permanent reductions in greenhouse gas emission and sequestration of atmospheric carbon within our soil systems. CIBO Impact allows Peoples to have insights for individual fields and manage and monitor entire portfolios in one place: yield predictions, in-field variability, historical and current management practices, carbon credits and Regenerative Potential™.

Consumers and organizations alike can achieve their climate and carbon offset goals by purchasing credits directly from the voluntary CIBO marketplace. Enterprises can use CIBO to track, manage and monitor land, growers and owners in their supply chain, co-ops, management and investment portfolios and retail territories. Whether prospecting for new land, monitoring regenerative agriculture practices or buying carbon credits, organizations can benefit from CIBO Impact.

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Allied Market Research published a report, titled, «Hybrid Train Market by Propulsion Type (Electro-Diesel, Battery Operated, Hydrogen Powered, Gas Powered, and Solar Powered), Application (Passenger and Freight), and Operating Speed (Less than 100 km/hr, 100-200 km/hr, and More than 200 km/hr): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027.» According to the report, the global hybrid train industry generated $16.2 billion in 2019, and is expected to generate $23.9 billion by 2027, witnessing a CAGR of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027.

Allied_Market_Research_Logo

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities

Advantages associated with hybrid trains over conventional trains along with increase in awareness and stringent government regulations regarding environmental pollution drive the growth of the global hybrid train market. However, surge in cost regarding development of hybrid trains and their infrastructure hinders the market growth. On the other hand, supportive government initiatives and investments towards alternative fuel-powered hybrid trains present new opportunities in the coming years.

Download Report Sample (250  Pages PDF with Insights) @ https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/7515

Covid-19 Scenario

  • With lockdown imposed in many countries, the ban on the import & export and transportation activities disrupted the supply chain and consequently hampered manufacturing activities.
  • Many governments banned train travel for citizens to curb the spread of coronavirus. So, the implementation of hybrid trains lowered down during the lockdown.
  • Many organizations held the investments back due to economic uncertainty that occurred during the pandemic. The investments would be made post-pandemic as the industry recovers.

The electro-diesel segment to maintain its lead position throughout the forecast period

Based on propulsion type, the electro-diesel segment accounted for the largest market share, contributing to nearly half of the global hybrid train market in 2019, and will maintain its lead position throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in demand for electro-diesel trains from the joint electrified and non-electrified trains of the railway industry worldwide as they offer benefits such as reliability, sustainability, and reduced emissions. However, the battery operated segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 6.9% from 2020 to 2027, owing to increase in implementation in passenger and freight applications along with adoption of the electrified trains for sustainable, efficient, and reliable rail transportation.

The passenger segment to maintain its dominant share during the forecast period

Based on application, the passenger segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019, holding nearly 90% of the global hybrid train market, and is expected to maintain its dominant share during the forecast period. Moreover, this segment is estimated to witness the largest CAGR of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027. This is attributed to need to reduce the traffic & pollution from road transport and increase in demand for traveling safely and reliably. The research also analyzes the freight segment.

Europe to lead in terms of revenue, North America to grow steadily

Based on region, Europe contributed to the highest market share in 2019, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the global hybrid train market, and will maintain its leadership position in terms of revenue by 2027. This is attributed to increase in adoption of hybrid trains from countries such as Germany, Spain, France, and the UK along with rise in urbanization and rail infrastructure construction activities. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period, owing to large number of major players and availability of the manufacturing facilities in the region. North America is expected to grow steadily at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

GP Solutions Begins Production of «Better Than Organic» Strawberries

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — GP Solutions, Inc. (OTC:GWPD), developer of GrowPods – controlled-environment micro-farms – announced it started R&D into growing strawberries, and will soon begin cultivation of the popular fruit.

GrowPods allow farmers to grow herbs, fruits and vegetables year-round without harmful chemicals. This is a particular advantage when cultivating strawberries, listed by the Environmental Working Group as number one of the Dirty Dozen Pesticide-Laden Foods.

«There is an enormous need for a better tasting and less toxic strawberry,» said George Natzic, CEO of GP Solutions.

Traditional methods of growing strawberries use the plasticulture system – raised beds fumigated with chloropicrin.

«Obviously, when you kill everything in the soil, there are going to be consequences,» Natzic said. «That’s why we are so proud that we can grow ultra-clean strawberries in our GrowPods without any harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides.»

In a landmark study, researchers found that strawberries grown organically have a longer shelf life, higher antioxidant activity, increased levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and higher concentrations of micronutrients. They were also judged to be sweeter and have better flavor than their conventional counterparts.

GrowPods allow farmers to enter the organic food sector in an affordable and scalable manner. These automated indoor micro-farms are portable and can be located almost anywhere for year-round cultivation of herbs, fruits and vegetables.  

GrowPods can be located nearer to the point of distribution or consumption, which minimizes transportation time and expense, and allows for fruit to be fully ripened before it is harvested – compared to traditional farming where unripe, hard fruit is picked in order to withstand the rigors of long-distance shipping.
