OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a ribbon cutting ceremony today, Valmont Industries, Inc., a leading global provider of engineered products and services for infrastructure development and irrigation equipment and services for agriculture, celebrated the interconnection of its first one-megawatt solar field at its manufacturing facility in Valley, Nebraska.



We are excited to improve our sustainability performance with the interconnection of this solar field, which is expected to produce 1.7 gigawatt hours of grid-independent power annually for our Valley facility,” said Stephen G. Kaniewski, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Using our own Valmont solar tracker technology, the field will provide the Valley campus with six percent of its electricity needs.”

The new solar array is the largest privately-owned, behind-the-grid solar field in Nebraska, spanning 4.3 acres. Forty-five tracker tables supplied by Convert, a Valmont company, make up the array, featuring advanced technology that adjusts the angle of solar panels to the ideal orientation for renewable energy generation. Created with weather and natural disaster mitigation in mind, the array’s transformers and inverters are raised seven feet above the ground to guard against flooding and include railing and access systems galvanized at the Valmont Coatings facility in Valley to ensure long-term structural resiliency.

Valmont’s employees and leadership team hosted the ribbon cutting event with local community leaders, business partners, Omaha Public Power District CFO Javier Fernandez, and representatives from Interconnection Systems Inc., who installed the array, attending as guests. Governor Pete Ricketts and Valley Mayor Cindy Grove were also present to give remarks celebrating the occasion.

Valmont continues to grow the Good Life by investing in Nebraska,” said Governor Pete Ricketts. “The newly built solar field in Valley showcases Valmont’s innovation and contributes to the diverse energy resources we have in our state.”

Kaniewski continued, “We are proud to operate the largest solar field of this kind in the state of Nebraska, and commemorate this achievement safely with our community. Valmont has a 75-year history of conserving water, energy and raw materials and this latest achievement reinforces our commitment to innovating with sustainability in mind. Our goal is to conserve resources so that we can continue providing products and services that enhance the lives of customers, employees and communities locally and world-wide.”

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In honor of Earth Day, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM), the world’s largest digital-first, design-led and sustainable home retailer, is proud to announce that it is setting a science-based target (SBT) for emissions reduction across its value chain by 2030, including the goal of carbon neutrality in the company’s own operations by 2025.


Williams-Sonoma is one of the first in its industry to work with the Science-Based Targets initiative to reduce its emissions in line with climate science. Aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, the company has set a SBT that will help keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius to avoid the worst effect of the climate crisis while establishing a pathway to net-zero emissions.

We are thrilled to announce our new climate goals of carbon reduction across our supply chain. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is Good By Design – striving for quality, safety, and sustainability throughout our business, and to improve our environmental performance every day. We understand these commitments play an important role in the sustainability of our planet and look forward to continuing our work to create a more sustainable future for generations to come,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The company’s new climate goals include:

  • A Science-Based Target for emissions reduction by 2030
    • 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 & 2 Emissions
    • 14% absolute reduction in Scope 3 Emissions from materials, production, transportation, and product use
  • Carbon Neutrality by 2025
    • 100% carbon neutral in Scope 1 & 2 Emissions

To arrive at these goals, Williams-Sonoma underwent an extensive, year-long data gathering and analysis project, using third-party experts and independent research alongside company data to measure the footprint across the company’s entire value chain.

To reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company will focus on efficiency, retrofitting its systems and upgrading to more energy-efficient equipment across its offices, stores, and distribution centers, to reduce the energy used to power its operations. Additionally, it will install solar where appropriate, purchase green power when possible and support new renewable energy projects through power purchase agreements (PPAs). To lower its Scope 3 emissions in its value chain, the company will develop a preferred materials strategy and switch to lower-impact options, like recycled polyester, as well as work with key suppliers to set reduction and renewable strategies and roadmaps. Williams-Sonoma will also increase more efficient delivery for direct-to-consumer sales, ensuring customers receive its product in the lowest-impact way.

For more information on the company’s carbon reduction commitments, please view our Science-Based Target Summary. Williams-Sonoma will continue to share its progress in its annual Corporate Responsibility scorecard, its sustainability website, and other public disclosures.

  • Schneider’s AI-assisted approach to climate action consulting recognized by Microsoft as a “partner making a difference”
  • Inspired by the UN SDGs, the campaign highlights technology that enables an inclusive economy, creating opportunities and positive business outcomes

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BuildFor2030--Schneider Electric, the global leader in energy management, automation, and sustainability, today announced that its EcoStruxure Resource Advisor software has been selected by Microsoft for its #BuildFor2030 campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to showcase solutions and services driving positive impact and contributing to a more inclusive economy.


Resource Advisor is a best-in-class, AI-assisted, cloud-based solution for managing cross-enterprise energy and sustainability data. Companies are able to track data across more than 400 categories to have near real-time access to their resource performance, and use the platform to centralize KPI management and reporting and disclosure. The data is paired with Schneider’s unique approach to energy and sustainability consulting, bringing together technology and expertise, resulting in a “mind-plus-machine” approach to climate action.

“We are pleased to be selected for Microsoft’s #BuildFor2030 campaign and its vision of a sustainable, inclusive, and digital future,” said Susan Uthayakumar, President of the Sustainable Business Division at Schneider Electric. “We know that data management and the transition to digital are critical steps in climate action as businesses seek ways to operate more cleanly and efficiently. The selection of Resource Advisor to the #BuildFor2030 portfolio of solutions recognizes Schneider Electric’s role as a digital partner in sustainability, working with others in our ecosystem to conquer climate change together.”

The selection comes on the heels of Schneider’s most recent climate action research, which indicates that corporate interest in and urgency on climate action are at an all-time high among executives. Of the more than 100 respondents from across industries, nearly 90 percent report that they either have a climate action plan in place or in development. And yet, 42 percent of respondents say that poor quality or incomplete data is a barrier to implementing their plan.

The disruptions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have also been a wake-up call for organizations, 51 percent of which cite climate change and its impacts as the biggest threat to future energy and resource supply. A significant 85 percent of respondents indicate that they are now considering using energy and sustainability to build resilience in their business. Interestingly, confidence in preparedness to manage disruption has fallen since our 2020 research, with fewer companies now reporting their readiness for innovation and disruption. Access the full data book here.

“One of the most important things the past year has shown us is the value of data to resource and crisis management. And I’m not only referring to COVID-19 when I say that. Lack of centralized energy data also played a role in the humanitarian crisis in Texas in February,” said Steve Wilhite, SVP of Energy and Sustainability Services at Schneider Electric. “As companies seek to prepare for future disruptions, especially those that are rooted in climate change, real-time access to smart data will be more critical than ever.” Resource Advisor helps organizations by centralizing their data management so they can make smarter, faster resource decisions – especially important during periods of disruption

Universal Hydrogen joins JetBlue Technology Ventures’ growing portfolio of sustainable travel startups as the subsidiary’s first foray into hydrogen power

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JetBlue Technology Ventures (JTV), the venture capital subsidiary of JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU), today announced its investment in Universal Hydrogen, the company fueling carbon-free flight, as part of its $20.5M Series A funding round. The financing allows Universal Hydrogen to accelerate the development of its hydrogen logistics network and regional aircraft conversion kits, and bolsters its burgeoning commercial activities.


JTV’s primary goal is to better position JetBlue with startup-led innovation set to disrupt the travel industry, ultimately helping JetBlue chart a path toward net zero emissions. JTV supports JetBlue’s ambitious sustainability strategy and targets by investing in technology focusing on advanced methods of measuring and reducing emissions, improved environmental protections, and game-changing transportation. In 2020 JetBlue became the first U.S. airline to achieve carbon neutrality for all domestic flying, today primarily through carbon offsets while the industry builds up lower-carbon technologies to reduce direct emissions.

Universal Hydrogen is building a fuel distribution network that connects hydrogen production directly to the airplane using modular capsules that are transported using the existing freight network, avoiding the need for costly new pipelines, storage facilities, and fuel trucks. The company is also developing conversion kits to retrofit existing 40-60 passenger regional airplanes with a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain.

“Our investment in Universal Hydrogen is highly aligned with JetBlue’s environmental objectives, and this partnership allows the airline a seat at the table in the fast-developing hydrogen for aviation sector and provides valuable insight into the options, progress, and viability of hydrogen to help decarbonize aircraft operations,” said Jim Lockheed, Investment Principal at JTV.

Universal Hydrogen was founded in 2020 by aviation industry veterans Paul Eremenko, John-Paul Clarke, Jason Chua, and Jon Gordon. First commercial flights are planned no later than 2025, with operating costs equivalent to those of conventional hydrocarbon-burning airplanes and decreasing rapidly thereafter.

“We see the near-term decarbonization of regional aviation as a first step and catalyst, setting the whole industry on a path to meeting Paris Agreement emissions targets. Hydrogen is today the only viable fuel for getting to true zero emissions in commercial aviation, and our goal is to de-risk the decision for Airbus, Boeing, and COMAC to make their next new airplane in the 2030s a hydrogen-powered one,” said Paul Eremenko, Universal Hydrogen co-founder and CEO.

The financing was led by Playground Global, and other investors include Fortescue Future Industries, Coatue, Global Founders Capital, Plug Power, Airbus Ventures, Toyota AI Ventures, Sojitz Corporation, and Future Shape.

About JetBlue Technology Ventures

Energy storage in the form of batteries or geothermal and hydrogen technology could greatly reduce the emissions of CO2 that cause climate change, says former EnviroSolar CEO Abe Issa


DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy storage can reduce climate change by reducing waste. Scientists warn that it’s important to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. Energy storage is one way to speed up the goal to reduce climate change before 2050. Therefore, innovations are needed to garner support and implement solutions, says Abe Issa, former CEO of EnviroSolar Power, a sustainability-based company.

EnviroSolar Power Praises Efficient Energy Storage Options that Reduce Emissions

Globally, companies and individuals can use energy storage to reduce emissions related to cooling and heating, says Abe Issa of EnviroSolar Power. Within each community, people can develop flexible energy sources by consuming locally sourced energy.

EnviroSolar plans to invest in energy storage that will bring opportunities for entrepreneurs and individuals wishing to work in the sustainability industry. These solutions might include anything from virtual power plants to charging stations.

Types of Energy Storage that EnviroSolar Believes Make Sense

Battery storage, geothermal storage, and hydrogen storage are three ways that energy can be stored for future use. However, the technology has not yet caught up to the concept.

Battery storage that provides high energy concentration at affordable rates could reduce the environmental impact of disposable batteries and other energy sources. These batteries could travel from the lab to store shelves in about 10 years. Abe Issa, the former CEO of EnviroSolar Power, says that this will be a great way for consumers to lower their carbon footprint simply by buying efficient batteries.

Geothermal storage tends to bring to mind Icelandic geysers harnessed by the locals for cheap power sources. However, geothermal energy provides a great way to reduce heating and cooling bills throughout the world. This technology uses energy from the center of the earth to preheat or precool air so that you are HVAC system doesn't have to work so hard. This reduces your energy bill and CO2 emissions that heat up the planet. EnviroSolar is excited about the prospect of storing solar energy underground.

The temperature underground remains constant year-round throughout most of the world. typically, underground temperatures are lower than summer surface temperatures and higher than winter surface temperatures. This temperature difference makes geothermal energy a potent resource to conserve energy, especially in moderate and northern climates.

Hydrogen energy storage has to battle the perception that hydrogen technology is dangerous. However, hydrogen is no more dangerous than the petroleum that fuels the world by burning up the atmosphere. Like any energy source, following standard safety protocols can prevent accidents and other risks.

Hydrogen hasn't been widely adopted despite the fact that it disperses rapidly when used as an energy source and it produces water vapor when burnt. Currently, scientists are struggling to find an emissions-free way to produce hydrogen as a truly clean energy source.

Abe Issa, the former EnviroSolar CEO, believes that these energy storage sources are a great investment for businesses who want to invest in the future of the planet and get in on the ground floor of these emerging technologies.

EnviroSolar Looks Forward to Cities that Widely Used Stored Energy

E-mobility vehicles and devices include electric cars, electric scooters, electric bikes, and similar items. EnviroSolar looks forward to the day when these machines run on hydrogen or efficiently stored electricity.

About EnviroSolar Power

EnviroSolar employs a network of partners who installed thousands of systems in 2018. Since its founding in 2016, the company has originated several thousand solar systems. EnviroSolar Power was founded on the principle of helping homeowners transform their homes into self-sustaining, solar energy machines.

Companies sign memorandum of understanding to increase public awareness, pursue joint research and development and explore a supply agreement

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance the commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel, focusing on public awareness and research and development. The memorandum of understanding also sets the framework to explore a future supply agreement involving Phillips 66’s Rodeo Renewed project in California and highlights the commitment by both companies to a sustainable energy future.


Sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, is a lower carbon-intensity fuel that can be produced from renewable feedstocks such as waste oils, fats, greases and vegetable oils. It is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used in existing aircraft engines and airport fuel infrastructure.

Phillips 66 has a long history of driving innovation in the commercial and general aviation industry,” said Brian Mandell, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Commercial for Phillips 66. “We are excited to work with Southwest Airlines to find ways to help achieve its lower-carbon goals and to develop a path forward for sustainable aviation fuel that benefits all segments of the industry.”

Phillips 66 is a major U.S. refiner and supplier of jet fuel and aviation gasoline. The memorandum of understanding aims to leverage the company’s expertise in refining, distribution and technical commercialization of transportation fuels as well as its portfolio of renewable energy projects.

The latter includes Rodeo Renewed, the proposed conversion of the San Francisco Refinery in Contra Costa County, California, into one of the world’s largest renewable fuels facilities, capable of producing an initial 800 million gallons per year of renewable fuels. The project, subject to permits and approvals, is expected to be completed in early 2024.

Southwest Airlines welcomes projects like Phillips 66’s proposed Rodeo refinery conversion to scale up the SAF industry, bringing lower-carbon SAF to market in meaningful quantities and thus helping Southwest meet our carbon-reduction goals,” said Stacy Malphurs, Southwest’s Vice President of Supply Chain Management & Environmental Sustainability. “Given Southwest’s extensive operations in the Bay Area and throughout California, we’re ideally positioned to benefit from any SAF production by Phillips 66 at Rodeo.”

Southwest is the largest carrier of air travelers to, from and within California. Its operations in the state include a major East Bay hub at Oakland International Airport. The carrier is a member of Airlines for America, the industry trade organization representing the leading U.S. airlines that last month announced the commitment of its member carriers to work to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The pledge includes efforts to advance the rapid expansion and deployment of SAF to make 2 billion gallons available to U.S. aircraft operators by 2030.

About Phillips 66

Phillips 66 is a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company. With a portfolio of Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties businesses, the company processes, transports, stores and markets fuels and products globally. Phillips 66 Partners, the company’s master limited partnership, is integral to the portfolio. Headquartered in Houston, the company has 14,300 employees committed to safety and operating excellence. Phillips 66 had $55 billion of assets as of Dec. 31, 2020. For more information, visit www.phillips66.com or follow us on Twitter @Phillips66Co.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#PVinstall--The city in the first paragraph, first sentence should be Herald, CA (instead of Hemet, CA).


The updated release reads:

SOL COMPONENTS SERVES AS KEY SUPPLIER FOR 213MW PV PROJECT

SOL Components, a leading producer of cost-effective designs for solar module mounting systems, announced today the successful construction of its Ground Fixed Tilt (GFT) mounting system in support of a 213MWp (DC) solar PV project near Herald, CA. The project utilizes solar PV to replace electricity capacity previously provided by a nuclear power plant that ceased operation in 1989.

SOL Components’ roll-formed steel components support more than 500,000 solar panels at the site, which is one of the largest ground mounted fixed-tilt solar PV projects in the western United States. SOL Components was selected to support the project because of its expertise with utility-scale solar projects, and the benefits and advantages of their end-to-end PV structural systems. SOL Components’ light gauge roll-formed steel piles and racking components reduce overall steel weight while providing optimum structural integrity, which greatly reduced the developer’s racking costs. The site was developed on steep, undulating terrain necessitating a system with the flexibility to adapt to varying site constraints. SOL Components was able to deliver a racking system that not only easily adapted to variable slope, but also provided flexibility in dealing with unforeseen site challenges.

Mike Fraenkel, SOL Components President and General Manager stated: “SOL Components continues to grow rapidly and take market share in the utility-scale PV racking space, and this 213MW project is a perfect example where our cost-optimized GFT solution and superior support services enable success for our customers. Not every racking provider can meet the challenging terrain, tightly coordinated material delivery, and site support requirements this project required – it’s what we do best.”

About SOL Components

SOL Components was founded in 2015 with the purpose of simplifying solar mounting solutions and reducing the associated project costs and complexity. Leveraging over 40 years in steel manufacturing and an in-house engineering department that works directly with owners, designers, and contractors to facilitate efficient project execution, the SOL Components team has the experience to deliver the project on time and under budget. The mission of their team of highly motivated engineers and manufacturing experts is to develop and produce innovative products for the renewable energy, building and construction industries using roll formed light gauge steel.
