Business Wire News

BETHESDA, Md. & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CleanEnergy--Enviva, a global renewable energy company specializing in sustainable wood bioenergy, and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), a leading global marine transport group, today announced they have signed a memorandum of understanding agreement to develop and deploy an environmentally friendly bulk carrier. The goal of the agreement is to reduce the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions in the ocean transportation of sustainable wood pellets. In the initial stage, the partnership will explore the environmental benefits, commercial and operational feasibilities of various technologies. This will include the “Wind Challenger”, a cargo ship design with a hard sail, which would reduce emissions by harnessing wind energy. MOL have been jointly studying the technology with cross-industrial partners.


“Enviva is very excited to partner with MOL on this innovative project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain,” said Thomas Meth, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Enviva. “In our recently announced goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, we committed to proactively engage with our partners and other key stakeholders to adopt clean energy solutions in our supply chain and this is one of the first opportunities for us to explore carbon reductions in our Scope 3 emissions.

MOL has been a long-term shipping partner of Enviva, providing a consistently professional and reliable shipping service, and we look forward to our new level of partnership which will positively impact climate mitigation and reduce carbon emissions.”

Toshiaki Tanaka, Managing Executive Officer and Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer of MOL said, “We are truly excited about this partnership, and it comes at a perfect timing as we start our new business entity, MOL Drybulk, this April. By integrating the various areas of Drybulk businesses amongst our group, MOL Drybulk will aim to improve our service and provide solutions to meet the various needs of our customers, including the reduction of emissions from our shipping service. This is not an easy challenge, especially when we aim to introduce new technologies such as the Wind Challenger, so it is extremely encouraging to have Enviva as our partner, whose core mission is to fight climate change, and with their passion and determination, have proved that they can make a difference.”

Utilizing artificial intelligence and sophisticated grid emissions intensity data, this collaboration is set to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings by 20 to 50+ percent

MONTREAL & OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrainBox AI, a pioneering leader in autonomous building technology, today announced a partnership with WattTime, an environmental tech nonprofit that empowers people and organizations to slash emissions and use cleaner energy. This partnership will drive increased energy savings and CO2 reductions in commercial real estate across North America. A flagship project with the Great Lakes Protection Fund will similarly leverage joint technology solutions to reduce mercury emissions throughout the Great Lakes watershed.


BrainBox AI is the world’s first fully autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) technology for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. BrainBox AI’s technology continuously makes micro-adjustments to a building’s existing HVAC system, in real-time, based on the monitoring of a multitude of internal and external data points. This industry-defining technology generates up to a 25% reduction in total energy costs, a 20-40% decrease in carbon footprint and a 60% increase in occupant comfort.

Complementarily, WattTime invented Automated Emissions Reduction (AER), software that allows IoT devices such as smart thermostats and electric vehicles to effortlessly and automatically run on cleaner energy. The AER signal enables smart devices—including commercial building energy management systems—to shift the timing of flexible energy use to sync with times of cleaner energy (e.g., wind or solar) and avoid times of dirtier energy (e.g., coal).

BrainBox AI is integrating WattTime’s dynamic marginal emissions signal into its AI data toolkit, to improve its model’s insights into CO2 and mercury emissions-reduction opportunities and enable continuous optimization to further reduce a building’s environmental footprint. The WattTime technology ‘supercharges’ BrainBox AI’s eco benefits, with up to an additional 15% emissions-reduction potential above and beyond baseline.

Buildings are the largest consumers of energy on our planet and this exciting partnership with WattTime will not only create significant energy savings, but also make a very meaningful impact on the GHG emissions of buildings,” said Sam Ramadori, President of BrainBox AI. “Combining WattTime’s emissions data and signal with BrainBox AI’s autonomous AI technology is the kind of game-changing, scalable innovation that we desperately need to battle climate change.”

Additionally, BrainBox AI, WattTime, and the UC Berkeley Center for the Built Environment are partnering on a project funded by the Great Lakes Protection Fund, to combine the power of BrainBox AI’s optimization engine and WattTime’s AER to help buildings located in and around the Great Lakes reduce their mercury emissions.

This partnership with BrainBox AI speaks directly to WattTime’s mission of increasing environmental and social good through data-driven tools that empower anyone, including building owners and operators, to choose cleaner energy,” said Laura Corso, Managing Director of Partnerships at WattTime. “We’re excited that this collaboration will enable BrainBox AI’s customers to make their buildings’ environmental footprint even lighter.”

If you are a building owner interested in the benefits of BrainBox AI and Automated Emissions Reduction at your building, please reach out to either WattTime or BrainBox AI.

A 92-megawatt wind project in southwestern Wisconsin would provide enough clean energy to power about 40,000 households.


MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), in partnership with Wisconsin Public Service (WPS), a subsidiary of WEC Energy Group, is seeking approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to purchase part of the Red Barn Wind Farm. If approved, MGE will own 9.1 megawatts (MW) of the 92-MW wind farm to be built in the Towns of Wingville and Clifton in Grant County.

"We are doing everything we can today to lower carbon emissions as quickly and as cost-effectively as we can. The Red Barn Wind Farm is another opportunity for MGE to invest further in cost-effective, clean energy as we move toward carbon reductions of at least 65% by 2030 and our goal of net-zero carbon by 2050," said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. "We have said since announcing our goals, if we can go further faster through partnerships with our customers and the evolution of new technologies, we will."

The Red Barn Wind Farm will help MGE to meet future energy and capacity needs cost-effectively as the company continues its ongoing transition away from coal-fired electricity with the planned retirement of the Columbia Energy Center in Portage by the end of 2024. The project, if approved, is part of more than 300 MW of new renewable generation capacity announced since MGE introduced its Energy 2030 framework for a more sustainable future in November 2015.

Red Barn Wind Farm
If approved, the Red Barn Wind Farm will be developed by PRC Wind and constructed by ALLETE Clean Energy. The approximately 12,000-acre project will feature 28 turbines. WPS will own the remaining 82.5 MW.

Construction is expected to begin in 2022, if approved. The Red Barn Wind Farm is expected to begin serving customers by the end of 2022. MGE's share of the Red Barn Wind Farm will power about 4,000 households.

MGE's net‐zero carbon electricity goal
In May 2019, MGE announced its goal of net-zero carbon electricity by 2050, making it one of the first utilities in the nation to commit to net-zero carbon by mid-century. MGE's net-zero goal is consistent with the latest climate science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) October 2018 Special Report on limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

To achieve deep decarbonization, MGE is growing its use of renewable energy, engaging customers around energy efficiency and working to electrify transportation, all of which are key strategies identified by the IPCC.

About MGE
MGE generates and distributes electricity to 157,000 customers in Dane County, Wis., and purchases and distributes natural gas to 166,000 customers in seven south-central and western Wisconsin counties. MGE's parent company is MGE Energy, Inc. The company's roots in the Madison area date back more than 150 years.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Natural Gas Distribution Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global natural gas distribution market is expected to grow from $466.18 billion in 2020 to $553.09 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%.

Natural Gas Distribution Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030 provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global natural gas distribution market as it emerges from the COVID-19 shut down.

Major companies in the natural gas distribution market include Centria; Osaka Gas; Tokyo Gas; GAIL India; and Gas Natural Fenosa.

The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $758.91 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 8%.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global natural gas distribution market, accounting for 28% of the market in 2020. Eastern Europe was the second largest region accounting for 23% of the global natural gas distribution market. South America was the smallest region in the global natural gas distribution market.

Companies in the natural gas distribution industry are investing in robotic wireless in-pipe leak detection systems for faster repair of leakages. Traditional detection systems are often slow. The new robotic technology can detect leaks at a faster pace and with high accuracy.

The robotic devices uses laser beams to detect potential leak points by analyzing the gas concentration in close proximity. This technology provides reliable results and reduced amount of data to be processed in detection to plug gas leakage. For instance, A6 OMD robot, developed by SMP Robotics, is used to detect underground pipeline gas leaks. It uses GPS to frame a map to locate the gas leak for a pipeline of any length.

Companies in the natural gas distribution market are using alternate modes of natural gas transportation for the delivery of natural gas through land. Natural gas is transported mostly through pipes or through shipping vessels. However, companies are now exploring the use of railroads for the delivery of natural gas.

Transporting natural gas through rails might allow the companies to expand its reach to remote industrial areas. Following the trend, in 2019, the U.S Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration approved New Fortress Energy's plan to transport natural gas from Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale by train for about 175 miles to South Jersey, U.S.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ProtectOurCoast--Today, the Biden-Harris administration announced new leasing, funding, and development goals to advance offshore wind energy in the United States while also creating new American jobs. In response, Oceana released the following statement from Jacqueline Savitz, chief policy officer:


“Offshore wind has the potential to be a game-changer in the U.S. energy portfolio, replacing the fossil fuels that are driving climate change. We applaud the Biden-Harris administration helping to make offshore wind a reality in the United States — a necessary step in our climate strategy. Our oceans can and should be an important player in helping to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. For the U.S. to successfully take full advantage of this unlimited resource that can help solve our climate and energy challenges, Oceana is calling for permanent protections from dirty and dangerous offshore drilling as well. We look forward to working with the Biden-Harris administration to ensure that offshore wind development includes strong protections for ocean habitat, especially for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.”

A recent Oceana analysis finds ending new leasing for offshore oil and gas could prevent over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions as well as more than $720 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment. Additionally, the analysis found that ending new leasing will also safeguard the U.S. clean coast economy, which supports around 3.3 million American jobs and $250 billion in GDP through activities like tourism, recreation, and fishing.

Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana is rebuilding abundant and biodiverse oceans by winning science-based policies in countries that control one-third of the world’s wild fish catch. With more than 225 victories that stop overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, and the killing of threatened species like turtles and sharks, Oceana’s campaigns are delivering results. A restored ocean means that 1 billion people can enjoy a healthy seafood meal, every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world. Visit USA.Oceana.org to learn more.

WALL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), the principal subsidiary of New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR), today filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) requesting an increase of approximately $165.7 million to its base rates. Since its last base rate filing in 2019, NJNG has invested nearly $850 million in the safety, reliability and environmental benefits of its delivery system and operations. These investments are already at work benefiting customers, but are not currently reflected in rates.


“Nothing is more important to our company than safely and reliably delivering the energy our customers depend on for their homes and businesses,” said Steve Westhoven, President and CEO of New Jersey Resources. “We are dedicated to meeting that commitment in a sustainable, responsible way. The investments we’ve made in our system, as reflected in this filing, deliver on that commitment.”

The proposed rate adjustment is necessary to cover costs associated with infrastructure investments made by NJNG to maintain and enhance its natural gas delivery system and ensure the responsible operation of its business, including:

  • Investment in plant in service, including improvements to the overall integrity of its natural gas transmission and distribution systems.
  • Continued infrastructure replacement – an ongoing priority for NJNG that has made its system one of the most environmentally sound in New Jersey, as measured by leaks per mile.
  • Development of a green hydrogen fuel project to reduce NJNG’s emissions as part of its commitment to sustainability and a clean energy future.
  • Construction of a training facility to provide mandated operator qualification and safety-related training, including classroom and simulated field activities for NJNG employees and third-party contractors, as well as training opportunities for local emergency personnel.

As part of its filing, NJNG is also seeking rate recovery for the Southern Reliability Link (SRL). NJNG expects the 30-mile transmission pipeline project to be placed into service this fall. Approved by the BPU in 2016, the SRL provides a new natural gas feed into the southern end of NJNG’s service territory, significantly enhancing the reliability and resiliency of its distribution system.

Currently, more than 85% of the natural gas supply used to serve customers in Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties is delivered through a single feed at the northern end of NJNG’s system. Any significant supply disruption on this line could negatively impact a majority of NJNG’s nearly 560,000 customers. SRL directly mitigates this risk by accessing a second interstate supply source that interconnects with the southern end of NJNG’s system.

Through this filing, NJNG is seeking to recover in rates appropriate costs for investments already made and expenses associated with operating its business, and to achieve a fair and reasonable outcome for ratepayers.

“We take our responsibility to deliver exceptional service at a reasonable rate seriously. This is achieved through a rigorous approval process with regulators,” Westhoven said. “We look forward to a successful resolution of this petition that is in the best interest of our customers and our company.”

Any customer having difficulty paying their natural gas bill should visit njng.com/energyassistance to learn about available energy assistance programs. Energy assistance is available for income-eligible customers through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Universal Service Fund (USF) and Payment Assistance for Gas and Electric (PAGE) Program, NJ SHARES and NJNG’s own Gift of Warmth program.

Demonstrating that sustainable propulsion technology has a clear route to market, the Cranfield Aerospace Solutions-led consortium’s technology programme will accelerate the journey to zero-emissions, passenger-carrying service.


CRANFIELD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#futureflight--Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS) - the UK SME leading the Project Fresson consortium - announces it will exploit recent advances in hydrogen fuel cell technology to develop a commercially viable, retrofit powertrain solution for the nine-passenger Britten-Norman Islander aircraft.

Following a rigorous assessment of hydrogen technology innovators, CAeS is delighted to welcome Ricardo UK Ltd and Innovatus Technologies Ltd to the Fresson consortium. Ricardo UK Ltd brings expertise in fuel cell system development and Innovatus Technologies Ltd brings their innovative Scottish Hydrogen Fuel Tank (SHyFT) technology.

Steve Dyke, Managing Director Ricardo Automotive and Industrial EMEA Division said: “We are proud to join the Cranfield Aerospace Solutions consortium to play our part in helping to reduce the carbon footprint for commercial air passengers. We are already working on hydrogen and fuel cell technology, providing clean efficient solutions which reduce carbon and noxious emissions across a wide range of sectors. Our work for the Fresson consortium will enable us to consolidate and grow our hydrogen fuel cell and propulsion capability, so that Ricardo can achieve its ambition of becoming a world-leader in hydrogen and fuel cell services and solutions and help accelerate net zero transportation.”

Innovatus Technologies Ltd leads the field in next generation ultralightweight hydrogen tank design exploiting patented cellular core composite techniques. This is critical to the successful integration and exploitation of hydrogen fuel cell power systems in applications across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and marine sectors.

Ruan Swart, Chief Executive Officer Innovatus Technologies Ltd said: ““We are proud in being selected to join the Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, ‘Project Fresson’, consortium. Our unique and innovative SHyFT solution is game-changing in bringing zero carbon fuel cell energy to commercial reality in the transport sector. Project Fresson showcases important Scottish innovation and next generation hydrogen tank manufacturing in the UK.”

Project Fresson will deliver an emissions-free (zero CO2), hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered flying demonstrator by September 2022. Having completed a comprehensive evaluation of technologies and configurations for sustainable aircraft propulsion, the Fresson team concluded that hydrogen fuel cell technology is the optimum solution to meet environmental, regulatory and operational requirements for this size of aircraft, enabling zero carbon emissions and reducing operating costs. This has presented the Fresson consortium, which includes Britten-Norman and Cranfield University, with an opportunity to deliver an enhanced technology programme that surpasses the original demonstrator concept.

Paul Hutton, Chief Executive Officer, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions said: “This is incredibly important for the Project Fresson Team but also for everyone else around the world interested in zero emissions flight. This project can deliver the world’s first truly “green” passenger carrying airline services. The whole team is proud of what Project Fresson has achieved so far and excited about what is to come. I am very thankful for the support of the ATI and our investors for making this ground-breaking work a reality.”

Jenny Kavanagh, Chief Strategy Officer, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions added: “Covid-19 has caused the biggest crisis in aviation’s history. It’s important that, as the sector builds back better, it does so with sustainability at its heart. Project Fresson is more than just a technology demonstrator; it has one focus above all others: real operational and commercial viability.”

Project Fresson is supported by the ATI Programme, a joint Government and industry investment to maintain and grow the UK’s competitive position in civil aerospace design and manufacture. The programme, delivered through a partnership between the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Innovate UK, addresses technology, capability and supply chain challenges.

As a result of these changes, there is now no longer a need for the Rolls-Royce element of the aircraft programme. It is therefore Rolls-Royce’s intention to withdraw from Project Fresson and the consortium is going through the necessary steps for this to happen. We thank Rolls-Royce for its contribution to Project Fresson and wish its team well. Rolls-Royce will continue to actively research the use of hydrogen in aviation and this decision in no way reflects its overall view of hydrogen as a potential technology.

BASINGSTOKE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#cellulariot--A new Juniper Research study found that the number of eSIMs installed in connected devices will increase from 1.2 billion in 2021, to 3.4 billion in 2025; representing growth of 180%. eSIMs are modules embedded directly into devices; providing cellular connectivity and storing multiple network operator profiles.


The new research, eSIMs: Sector Analysis, Emerging Opportunities & Market Forecasts 2021-2025, independently assessed eSIM adoption and demand in the consumer sector, industrial sector, and public sector, and predicts that the consumer sector will account for 94% of global eSIM installations by 2025. It anticipates established adoption of eSIM frameworks from consumer device vendors, such as Apple and Google, will accelerate growth of eSIMs in consumer devices ahead of the industrial and public sectors.

For more insights, download our free whitepaper: Unlocking the Potential of Consumer eSIMs

Consumer Market Key to Fulfilling eSIM Potential

The research found that global eSIM deployments across all consumer verticals will increase by 170% over the next four years, with widespread adoption reliant on backing from network operators. It urges device manufacturers to place pressure on operators to support eSIM frameworks and accelerate market maturation.

However, a fragmentation of hardware vendors in the cellular IoT device market will require each vertical to adopt a combination of wireless technologies, hardware, and management tools. In turn, it predicts that specialist vendors will emerge that provide robust eSIM form factors for industrial environments.

eSIM Opportunities Across Industrial Sectors

The study identified three key areas of focus for eSIM adoption in the industrial sector:

  1. Oil and Gas
  2. Manufacturing
  3. Logistics

It suggests that the development of rugged form factors will position vendors well to capitalise on the market, as eSIM installations in these verticals grow from 28 million units in 2021 to 116 million by 2025.

Research author Scarlett Woodford noted: ‘Ensuring convenience for the end user must remain the top priority for eSIM management platform providers. To do so, they must provide a level of service comparable to that found with traditional SIM deployments.’

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Water Transport Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global water transport market is expected to grow from $486.47 billion in 2020 to $507.44 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%.

Water Transport Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030 provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global water transport market as it emerges from the COVID-19 shut down.

Major companies in the water transport market include A. P. Moller-Maersk; Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC); CMA-CGM; Evergreen Marine Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).

The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $611.02 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 5%.

The water transport market consists of sales of water transportation services and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide water transportation of passengers and cargo using watercraft, such as ships, barges, and boats. The water transport market is segmented into deep sea, coastal, and great lakes and inland water transport.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global water transport market, accounting for 45% of the market in 2020. Western Europe was the second largest region accounting for 32% of the global water transport market. Africa was the smallest region in the global water transport market.

Water transportation service companies are increasingly using sensor technologies to enable monitoring of remote locations of ships. A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of a number of other environmental phenomena present in the ship. Sensors in remote locations of ships collect data autonomously and relay the data to the control room in real-time.

The data captured by the sensor allows ship owners to improve overall maintenance cycle of visits, including condition monitoring and condition-based monitoring. For instance, NoraSens and Silicon Radar are some of the companies manufacturing sensors for ships.
