Company releases sustainability strategy update detailing innovative programs and clean energy investments

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#SustainableSDGE--Today San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) released its annual sustainability strategy update, highlighting what it has accomplished over the past year to help create a clean, resilient and equitable future, as well as outlining new and accelerated goals to help meet its pledge to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.



“Over the past year, we spent a lot of time listening to a wide cross section of stakeholders so that we could incorporate their feedback into our long-term strategy to move our region closer to carbon neutrality,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “We recognize we still have much work to do and that we can’t do it alone. Community partners who support and challenge us in our work to develop sustainability solutions are invaluable as we focus on strengthening climate equity and community resilience where we all call home.”

SDG&E’s new sustainability goals include:

  • Operating a Zero Emissions Fleet by 2035
    Recognizing the transportation sector is the single largest source of GHG emissions1, SDG&E seeks to operate a 100% zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) fleet by 2035 – five years ahead of the company’s original goal.
  • Achieving Zero Net Energy Facilities by 2030
    Buildings account for 25% of GHG emissions in the state2. As part of SDG&E’s work to ensure its own operations are sustainable, the company set a new goal to achieve zero net energy3 for all company-owned facilities in San Diego and southern Orange County.
  • Piloting a Virtual Power Plant by 2022
    In an effort to boost grid reliability, flexibility and resilience, SDG&E will accelerate its timeline to deliver a virtual power plant (VPP) by 2022, instead of 2025 as originally planned. This innovative demonstration project will integrate multiple types of customer-owned distributed energy resources (DER), including energy storage systems, into a planned renewable microgrid in Shelter Valley, a community in eastern San Diego County. The primary goal of the VPP is to coordinate the dispatch of customer DERs in concert with microgrid energy needs and allow those resources to be dispatched to the regional grid when supplies are tight. Results of the demonstration will inform future initiatives and grid management system needs.

SDG&E released a comprehensive sustainability strategy in October 2020, which included several aspirational goals. In the interest of accountability and transparency, the company committed to providing an annual update on its progress toward meeting its sustainability goals. Highlights of the company’s accomplishments over the past year include:

  • Adding two energy storage facilities (totaling 50 MW) by year end and starting construction on a third
  • Acquiring three large-scale mobile batteries, which can be deployed as backup power during emergencies
  • Finishing construction of a renewable microgrid by year end to support a rural community in a high fire-threat area that is subject to Public Safety Power Shutoffs and starting construction on a second microgrid that will provide backup power to CAL FIRE and U.S. Forest Service aerial firefighting assets
  • Helping launch a regional collaborative called Accelerate to Zero Emissions (A2Z) to align and attract public and private investment to expand the infrastructure necessary to support widespread adoption of electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles
  • Completing a decade-long project to harden electrical infrastructure inside the Cleveland National Forest – replacing more than 2,300 wood poles with steel poles
  • Issuing $750 million in green bonds to raise the capital needed to deliver some of the projects outlined in its sustainability strategy

Approval to supply carbon-neutral Renewable Natural Gas to meet the needs of 1,900 homes in the Metro Vancouver region

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSXV:EVGN) (“EverGen”, or the “Company”), Canada’s Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) Infrastructure Platform, announces that the British Columbia Utilities Commission (“BCUC”) has approved the RNG offtake agreement with FortisBC Energy Inc. (“FortisBC”) for the Company’s anaerobic digester expansion project at its Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Inc. (“NZWA”) composting and organic processing facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia.


The Company previously announced that its wholly owned subsidiary NZWA entered into a 20-year offtake agreement with FortisBC. Under the agreement, FortisBC will purchase up to 173,000 gigajoules of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system. The project is expected to convert municipal and commercial organic waste into enough energy to meet the needs of approximately 1,900 residential homes.

This marks the final regulatory step with respect to the NZWA offtake agreement. Upon completion of NZWA project development and construction activities, EverGen expects to begin supplying Renewable Natural Gas from the project to FortisBC’s network by early 2023.

“The approval of the RNG offtake agreement for our anerobic digester project by BCUC marks an important milestone for the NZWA expansion project and moves the facility one step closer to having an even greater positive impact on our environment and reducing the negative effects of climate change,” says EverGen Co-Founder and CEO Chase Edgelow. “Not only does our renewable natural gas platform and this project provide a positive solution and the highest end use for organic waste in the Lower Mainland region, it is also contributing to the use of carbon-neutral renewable fuel sources and captures emissions that would otherwise be released into the environment.”

Renewable Natural Gas is a carbon neutral energy made from decomposing organic waste. It displaces conventional natural gas in existing natural gas lines, thereby reducing the emissions from the natural gas system. Increasing the amount of renewable gas in FortisBC’s system is key to the organization achieving its 30BY30 target – an ambitious goal to reduce its customers’ greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030. FortisBC’s 30BY30 target is among the most ambitious emissions reductions targets in the Canadian utility sector and its' renewable gas targets align with the provincial government's goals in its CleanBC plan.

"Renewable Natural Gas is key to a lower carbon future for BC, capturing methane that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere and repurposing it as carbon neutral energy in our existing natural gas system," explained Scott Gramm, manager of renewable gas supply with FortisBC. "Adding new RNG supply is crucial in lowering provincial emissions and we're happy to welcome EverGen to our list of RNG suppliers who are helping make that possible."

ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AmericanJobs--More than 20 Maine-based commercial and institutional organizations are reducing their energy costs and contributing to the clean energy economy through a new community solar project in Bethel, Maine. The project, which is complete and operational, was financed and is owned and operated by Standard Solar and developed in partnership with ECA Solar.


Last week, Standard Solar hosted local officials and project partners for an official ribbon-cutting event at the Bethel site.

This new solar installation brings 5.7 megawatts dc of clean energy to Mainers — supporting local jobs, contributing to the clean energy economy, strengthening the community and delivering significant cost savings to Maine businesses. The project is part of the state’s Net Energy Billing (NEB) which allows Maine utility customers to offset their electric bill using the output produced by renewable energy projects, like community solar farms.

“As Maine continues its drive toward statewide clean-energy and climate-fighting goals, getting projects such as this one in Bethel completed and operational is critical,” said Harry Benson, Director, Business Development, Standard Solar. “Standard Solar is proud to be part of one of Maine’s first completed and operational community solar projects, and we look forward to adding more projects throughout the state to make solar energy more accessible and affordable to Mainers.”

A total of 23 leading Maine commercial and institutional organizations will collectively take 100% of the Net Energy Billing Credits created by the new Bethel community solar project. These organizations include Auburn School Department, AVX Tantalum, Bowdoin College, City of Portland, Colby College, Falmouth Public Schools, L. L. Bean, Maine Community College System, Maine General Medical Center, Maine Maritime Academy, MSAD #11 Gardiner, MSAD #15 GNG, Nestle Waters North America, Northern Light Health, Pleasant River Lumber, Portland Water District, Pratt & Whitney, Pride Manufacturing, RSU #14 Windham Raymond, Scarborough School Department, University of Maine System, Waterville Public Schools and York County.

“ECA Solar has enjoyed working with local stakeholders to deliver this turn-key community solar project,” Todd Fryatt, President, ECA Solar. “Throughout the past two years, the Town of Bethel and the State of Maine played a key role in supporting the development and construction of this clean energy system. Among other benefits, our collective efforts were able to provide well-paying jobs using local contractors and considerable energy savings and price certainty to some of Maine’s largest employers. ECA Solar is proud to be a member of the Bethel community and is optimistic about the positive impact our project will have on the area.”

Legislation passed in the state in 2019 encouraged the development of community solar and other small renewable energy facilities establishing goals of 80% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2050.

“While there are many megawatts of community solar contracted in the state, progress to bring them online has been slow,” continued Benson. “And while the first community solar farm came online in late 2020, the Bethel project remains one of the earlier projects that has been constructed and operational.”

The Bethel project – and more than 45 MW in Maine – joins Standard Solar’s 200+ MW portfolio of community solar projects funded and operating with partners around the United States. The company is actively seeking additional projects to fund and add to its asset portfolio.

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BillGross--Heliogen, a leading provider of AI-enabled concentrated solar energy, today announced further significant steps toward deployment of its new solar energy technology with Woodside Energy (USA) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of leading Australian energy producer Woodside Petroleum Ltd (ASX: WPL), with the potential to play a significant role in the development of Woodside’s future energy business.



Heliogen has been granted by Woodside a Limited Notice To Proceed (“LNTP”) to begin procurement of key equipment for a 5 megawatt (MW) commercial-scale demonstration facility in California. The proposed facility will use Heliogen’s AI-enabled concentrated solar technology.

The issuance of the LNTP marks a critical step in the collaboration and follows a joint six-month feasibility study by Woodside and Heliogen and a front-end engineering and design (“FEED”) contract that commenced earlier in 2021. The companies expect Full Notice to Proceed and construction to begin in 2022.

Heliogen’s breakthrough technology is a modular, turnkey, AI-enabled concentrated solar energy system that aims to deliver clean energy with nearly 24/7 availability. The facility will utilize advanced computer vision software that precisely aligns an array of mirrors to reflect sunlight to a single target on the top of a solar tower, thereby enabling low-cost storage in the form of high-temperature thermal energy. Heliogen’s customers can opt to build on the baseline system that provides industrial-grade heat by adding thermal energy storage systems, a turbine for power generation, and electrolyzers for green hydrogen production.

The two companies also announced their intent to jointly market Heliogen’s technology in the US and Australia. Under the proposed joint marketing arrangement, the companies will consider establishing a roadmap to collaborate on additional potential renewable energy projects, including replicating and scaling Heliogen’s modular, AI-enabled concentrated solar facility to support Woodside’s forecasted power requirements at its international locations, noting Woodside’s commitments to reduce net emissions from its existing and future businesses. The arrangements under discussion include a framework to design, optimize and sell modularized industrial-scale and cost-competitive integrated renewable energy and hydrogen solutions in the US, and marketing rights for Woodside in Australia.

Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the new collaboration with Heliogen demonstrated Woodside’s focus on developing innovative technologies to meet customer requirements for low-cost, lower-carbon energy.

“This is a significant step toward the development of our first facility with Heliogen, which we hope will be just the start of our ongoing collaboration.”

“Heliogen’s innovative technology could play a key supporting role in development of Woodside’s zero-carbon hydrogen and ammonia business, which would rely on access to abundant and reliable renewable power.”

“We are also excited about the marketing rights for Heliogen’s technology in Australia, where our abundant solar energy resources support application of this technology in remote power generation and other industrial processes,” she said.

“Heliogen’s AI-enabled concentrated solar technology has the potential to transform heavy industry by turning sunlight into a zero-carbon source of heat, power and hydrogen that is nearly always available,” said Heliogen CEO and founder, Bill Gross. “Although costs of large-scale solar are falling, conventional solar technologies are not yet cost-competitive with fossil fuels in most energy markets due to their intermittent availability. Heliogen’s technology aims to close this gap through the use of AI, software and thermal storage. As the energy sector is ripe for applications of green hydrogen fuels and decarbonization strategies, Woodside is an ideal collaborator for our breakthrough solar technology, which will support the operational characteristics of heavy industry. We are excited to reach this important milestone in our relationship with Woodside and look forward to helping them to efficiently achieve their sustainability targets.”

MONTRÉAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$NMG #ESG--Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (“Nouveau Monde” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NMG, TSXV: NOU) is pleased to announce that Pallinghurst Graphite International Limited (“Pallinghurst”), the holder of a secured convertible bond in the principal amount of C$15 million (the “Convertible Bond”), as announced in the press release dated July 15, 2020, has converted the full outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bond to common shares of the Company. This decision further demonstrates Pallinghurst’s significant and continuing support for the Company and its ongoing project development initiatives, as it strives to become a key player in the sustainable energy revolution.


Importantly, all related security to secure the obligations of the Company under the Convertible Bond will be released and discharged, which will provide the Company with increased flexibility for its project financing initiatives, as it moves towards the next stage of development.

The Convertible Bond was converted in two tranches: 1,875,000 common shares were received by Pallinghurst on exercise of the first tranche and distributed by Pallinghurst to its investors, which include Messrs. Arne H Frandsen and Andrew Willis, who are directors of the Company. 5,625,000 common shares were subsequently issued to Pallinghurst in respect of conversion of the second tranche.

In addition, and pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bond, the Company has elected to settle the accrued and unpaid interest owing under the Convertible Bond of C$1,900,463 by issuing an additional 220,471 common shares of the share capital of the Company (the “Interest Shares”) at C$8.62 per Interest Share, in accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange. Following the issuance of the Interest Shares, all amounts payable pursuant to the Convertible Bond will have been settled in full.

Following the exercise of the Convertible Bond, the distribution to Pallinghurst investors, and receipt of the Interest Shares, together with its existing holdings, Pallinghurst, together with its subsidiary will own 11,541,014 common shares of the Company representing approximately 21% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

Arne H Frandsen, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of The Pallinghurst Group said: Pallinghurst is delighted to continue its support of Nouveau Monde and today’s announcement indicates our firm belief that Nouveau Monde is set to become a significant, fully integrated supplier of carbon-neutral battery anode material in the future. As the Company’s largest shareholder, Pallinghurst looks forward to continuing to work closely with management as we develop what is projected to be the Western World’s largest battery grade graphite operation, with best-in-class ESG credentials.”

Eric Desaulniers, Founder, President and CEO of Nouveau Monde added: Developing a large-scale battery mining and transformation project is a journey that can only be achieved with long term investors like Pallinghurst who support and embrace our vision, while enhancing our business plan with their experience and execution discipline. The whole team at Nouveau Monde and myself are looking forward to our continuing collaboration with Pallinghurst as we work towards delivering our next exciting milestones in support of an anode material supply chain in America for the benefit of all of Nouveau Monde’s stakeholders.”

The payment of interest in the form of Interest Shares of the Company takes place in favor of Pallinghurst, a holder of more than 10% of the securities of the Company, which constitutes a “transaction with a related party” within the meaning of Regulation 61-101 on measures to protect minority holders during specific transactions (“Regulation 61-101”) and within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the Stock Exchange - Measures to protect minority holders during specific transactions. However, the directors of the Company have determined that the exemptions from the official valuation obligation and the approval of minority holders, provided for in sections 5.5 a) and 5.7 1) a) of Regulation 61-101 respectively, may be invoked as neither the fair market value of the shares issued to this insider nor the fair market value of the consideration exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. No director of the Company has expressed a contrary opinion or disagreement in connection with the foregoing.

The issuance of Interest Shares is conditional upon the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, and will be subject to a hold period of 4 months and one day.

A material change report relating to this transaction with a related party will be filed by Nouveau Monde no later than 21 days prior to the date on which the Interest Shares are expected to be issued as the conditions in connection with the issuance of the Interest Shares were not determined.

INDIANAPOLIS & WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. & LUGANO, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novus Capital Corporation II, a special purpose acquisition company (NYSE: NXU, NXU.U, NXU WS) (“Novus”) and Energy Vault, Inc. (“Energy Vault”), the company developing sustainable, grid-scale energy storage solutions with its proprietary technology, today announced that Novus has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 15, 2021.

The Registration Statement contains a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with the previously announced proposed business combination. While the registration has not yet become effective and the information contained therein is subject to change, it provides important information about Energy Vault and Novus, as well as the proposed business combination.

Robert Piconi, CEO and Co-Founder of Energy Vault, commented, “We are pleased to have reached this first step in the transaction process. The proceeds from the business combination will be used to fund growth of the combined company and global deployment of Energy Vault’s storage systems.”

In September 2021, Novus Capital Corporation II entered into a business combination agreement with Energy Vault, whereby the newly combined company is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Completion of the transaction, which is expected in the first quarter of 2022, is subject to approval by Novus’ stockholders, the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC, and other customary closing conditions.

Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the combined company is expected to receive up to $388 million in total gross proceeds from a combination of a committed common stock PIPE offering of $100 million, along with approximately $288 million of cash held in trust, assuming no redemptions.

About Energy Vault

Energy Vault develops sustainable, grid-scale energy storage solutions designed to advance the transition to a carbon free, resilient power grid. Energy Vault’s mission is to accelerate the decarbonization of our economy through the development of sustainable and economical energy storage technologies. To achieve this, Energy Vault has designed the EVx and the Energy Vault Resiliency Center (EVRC) platforms, advanced gravity energy storage solutions that are intended to minimize environmental and supply chain risks. Energy Vault’s gravity-based solutions are based on the proven physics and mechanical engineering fundamentals of pumped hydroelectric energy storage, but replace water with custom-made composite blocks, or “mobile masses”, which do not lose storage capacity over time, and that can be made from low-cost and locally sourced materials, including local soil, mine tailings, coal combustion residuals (coal ash), and fiberglass from decommissioned wind turbine blades. Combining potential and kinetic energy cycles, Energy Vault’s systems are automated with advanced computer control and machine vision software to create a gravity energy-storage innovation designed to meet the market demand for storage durations from 2 to 12 hours. Energy Vault has offices in Westlake Village, California and Lugano, Switzerland, with the Switzerland office serving as Energy Vault’s international headquarters.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$DFCO #BrianBonar--Dalrada Corporation (OTCQB: DFCO, “Dalrada”) is pleased to announce its Clean Energy Advisory Board composed of distinguished climate and business leaders. The advisory group is forming strategic alliances that support and enable an effective balance between responsible environmental policies and sustainable development. Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, is the first member of the Dalrada Clean Energy Advisory Board.


Brian Bonar, Dalrada’s Chairman and CEO, states, “We are delighted that Secretary Zinke has joined the Dalrada Clean Energy Advisory Board. He cares about new job creation, improving environmental sustainability, and the technology that supports energy efficiency and emissions reduction. Dalrada’s energy-efficient solutions pave the way towards that goal.”

Ryan Zinke shares, “It is exciting when a technology advances energy efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint. Dalrada wins at both. Protecting the environment and stimulating the economy in a balanced way leads to sustainable development. Climate change is important. We must address greenhouse emissions through efficient technologies. Dalrada brings innovative solutions to accomplish this goal. Every year, billions of dollars of low-grade energy is discharged into the atmosphere without recovery.” Zinke continues, “Dalrada turns the balance in favor of the environment by maximizing energy efficiency. Focusing on solutions, we encourage dialogue on sustainability on both sides. Conservation and energy efficiency will get us there.”

Transparency and accountability are topics that the Dalrada Clean Energy Advisory Board tackles. Jose Arrieta, former Chief Information Officer at the Department of Health and Human Services and Dalrada Board member, shares, “Information Technology plays a vital role with the accounting of net-zero goals, supply chain tracking, and measuring emission data. Net-zero data tracking and reporting systems that leverage IoT devices are in development.”

Dalrada’s disruptive low-carbon heating & cooling technology that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) in a leakproof system is powered by either traditional or renewable energy and recycles waste energy. Systems can easily be installed in boiler houses, plant rooms, rooftops, and outside in mobile energy centers to provide instant energy and carbon emission savings. These solutions produce hot water, low-pressure steam, hot air with chilled water, or cooling utilities.

The Hon. Bijan Kian, Former U.S. cabinet member and Dalrada Board of Directors member, also takes part in Dalrada’s Clean Energy Advisory Board. Kian emphasizes the importance of reducing emissions with no sacrifice to jobs or the environment in the process.

“Environment and development are key to responsible growth with sustainability,” Kian states. “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions now is vital. It is also important to encourage dialogue with industry and business leaders about forming alliances, identifying resources, and creating ways to achieve sustainability that improve the quality of life.”

Dalrada’s industrial, commercial, and consumer innovations conserve energy, decarbonize heat, save cost, and care for the environment.

Stuart Cox, Dalrada’s Chief Engineering Officer, states, “Dalrada’s Likido® CO2 high-temperature heat pumps overcome many of the problems associated with freon-based heat pumps by operating at the same temperatures as existing heating and cooling systems, making their deployment very easy.”

Cox adds, “The market response to Dalrada’s energy innovations is encouraging. Customer interest increased since the economy has woken up after COVID-19 lockdowns ended in June in the U.K. This will increase further as our partners in Spain and Texas expand manufacturing capacity for the E.U. and USA, respectively, from 2021.”

Dalrada continuously builds on its core practices of engineering, life sciences, and technology while operating under the tenet of bringing innovative products and services to a complex new world. The Company’s subsidiaries are responding with alternative solutions that are affordable, available, accessible, and impactful.
