Welcome back to Sustainability Street, our podcast on theintersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in. For this episode, I'm talking about brownfield remediation with David Greek, managing partner of Greek Real Estate Partners.Based in New Jersey, the nation's densest state, Greek iswell-versed in turning remnants of the past into real estate opportunities for the future. And, while there are state incentives for cleaning up contaminated sites, he said the best driver for remediation is the market. That's why brownfields are having their moment. As thedemand for industrial real estate has boomed in recent years, more developers have turned to brownfields to unlock development sites. "While the Brownfields program in New Jersey has beenaround for a long time, a lot of uptick in the remediation activity only really occurred when the value of the underlying real estate justified it," Greek said.Here are some of the topics we covered: Third-generation developer (1:18)Remediation as a necessity in New Jersey (6:54) What's driving brownfield demand nationally (10:49)The national picture (13:03) Case in point: Linden Logistics Center (14:16)Incentives vs. market forces (20:16)The New Jersey model for remediation (23:16)Managing brownfield risk (29:06)Brownfields and the Trump-era EPA (33:00)How to learn more about brownfields (36:09)

„Ich stimme nicht in den Kanon der Trübseligkeit ein“, sagt Dr Marcus Kraft. Johannes Egert sieht das nicht ganz so: „Es ist schon eine Frage, wo die ganzen Refinanzierungen zu platzieren sind.“ Mit den beiden Experten für Finanzierung habe ich über die Bodenbildung und den stagnierenden Markt mit leichter Aufwärtstendenz gesprochen. Mit der RECON AG decken sie verschiedene Bereiche ab – von der Projektentwicklung, über Energieprojekte bis hin zu Refinanzierungen. „Restrukturierung ist schmerzhaft, das muss man gemeinsam aushalten“, sagt Johannes. Also sprechen wir über die Komplexität und auch den psychologischen Moment, über die Partnerschaft mit der Berliner Volksbank, die Zielgruppe der mittelständischen Banken, Volksbanken und Sparkassen, über einen eigenen Kreditfonds und der damit verbundenen Anlagemöglichkeit. Am Thema Wirtschaft und der konjunkturellen Eintrübung kommen wir nicht vorbei, genau wie an der Wiedernutzbarmachung von Industriearealen. Dies geschieht in einem Joint Venture mit der Ferraro Group, das gemeinsame Unternehmen heißt Ferraro Invest. Und zum Schluss gibt es den Ausblick auf 2025, der positiv ausfällt. Die laute Party der Branche ist vorbei, nun zählen die kleinen Schritte und Transparenz. Eine Themenvielfalt hineingestopft in den IMMOBILÈROS-Podcast.

Title image : Grey-banded Mining Bee (Andrena denticulata) Steven Falk Wild Belfast and Buglife have come together to highlight the alarming loss of wildlife-rich brownfield habitat across Belfast. Some brownfield sites in Belfast can support rare and endangered wildlife, including well-loved species such as Red-shanked Carder Bee (Bombus ruderarius), Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) and Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus). However, many of these nature hotspots are at risk from being lost to development. Belfast wildlife needs protection "The state of Belfast's brownfields: nature under threat" 2024 report shows that over a seven-year period, 40% of 47 brownfield sites that Buglife had previously identified as important for wildlife in Belfast have been lost, damaged or are in immediate threat. Concerningly, when live planning applications are also considered, over 60% of the total area of this vital habitat has either been lost or is under immediate threat- with potentially profound impacts for nature in the city. Brownfields can support a huge diversity of wildlife, often providing refuges for species which have suffered population crashes as a result of habitat loss, such as wildflower meadows disappearing from the landscape. They can include quarries, disused railways lines, spoil heaps, even former industrial estates that have been allowed to develop into urban havens for wildlife. Sadly, despite often being the last remaining 'wild' green spaces in Belfast's neighbourhoods, brownfields are frequently targeted for development. Conor McKinney, Chair of the Wild Belfast community group says, "Now is a critical period for the protection of biodiversity. Our planning system offers the potential to protect and enhance biodiversity- or to destroy it. Despite being a priority habitat our planning system is currently failing to protect wildlife-rich brownfield sites in Belfast, or indeed across Northern Ireland. Nature and planning authorities must seize the opportunities available to them to protect these sites for nature and the communities with which they share these valuable wild urban spaces". Buglife has previously identified and measured the extent of brownfields important for invertebrates in a 2017 report- a habitat often referred to as 'Open mosaic habitat on previously developed land'. Shortly after that report, the habitat was listed as a conservation priority in Northern Ireland. However, this new study that revisits these sites suggests that despite this commitment, these important wildlife sites are still being lost, hindering the city's nature recovery ambitions. Jamie Robins, Programmes Manager of Buglife says, "Brownfields which have been reclaimed by nature are becoming increasingly important for our rare invertebrates as the wider countryside is degraded. We need to do more to protect these wildlife havens. The remaining wildlife-rich brownfields should be protected from development and embraced as a key nature recovery solution, and celebrating the role they have to play in giving communities a place to connect with nature." The 2024 report suggests that Belfast's brownfields need to be better recognised and protected by the planning system. It also suggests that the best sites be incorporated into the important Site of Local Nature Conservation Importance (SLNCI) network. In addition, the report looks beyond Belfast and recommends that a Northern Ireland wide inventory of the habitat should be urgently created. Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates our aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet - humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and wit...

Fred Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties (TSX.V:ELE) (OTCQX:ELEMF), joins us to review the recent acquisition of 2 brownfields tungsten royalties, as well as a royalty partner update on the Diba Mine nearing first production. In the news released to the market on July 22nd, Elemental Altus Royalties has acquired two existing royalties from Cornish Metals Inc. including an uncapped 4% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Mactung Project in Canada currently being advanced by Fireweed Metals Corp, and a 1% NSR royalty on the high-grade Cantung Project, a formerly operating tungsten mine in Canada. Mactung, operated and owned by Fireweed Metals, is one of the largest, high-grade tungsten deposits in the world and one of the few high-grade tungsten deposits outside of China, that also has the Environmental Assessment completed as part of previous permitting. Fireweed Metals, a well-financed, Lundin Group company, has an experienced management team with a track record of securing funding for mine development. The next key catalyst on the Project will be a new PEA later in 2024, building on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate in 2023. Fred also briefly reviews the overlooked value in the previously operating Cantung Project, and why their team is bullish on the fundamentals of the tungsten markets as a strategic metal of importance. Next we got a royalty partner update on the expected maiden production from the Diba Gold Project, operated by Allied Gold Corp (TSX: AAUC). Allied Gold has announced that their 12,000 meter drilling program is targeting extending the Mineral Resources at Diba. This is significant as the exploration program is designed to prioritize near-mine oxides and comes on top of the previously announced initial Proven and Probable Reserves of 280,000 ounces of gold at 1.43 g/t within the larger 377,000 ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated Resources that was announced in February 2024. Diba is expected to materially contribute to production at Sadiola from mid-2024 and Allied have fast-tracked it into production this year, while simultaneously undertaking aggressive exploration to expand the Resource. Elemental Altus owns a 3% NSR royalty on the first 226,000 ounces produced at Diba and an uncapped 2% NSR royalty on all subsequent production. The consideration also included multiple production-based milestones totalling up to US$6 million and for which the Company has received the first US$1 million with further payments anticipated this year. If you have any follow up questions for Fred regarding Elemental Altus Royalties, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

America's thousands of closed landfills represent a massive untapped opportunity to generate clean solar power. These unused brownfield sites, which are often seen as burdens on their local communities, have the potential to be transformed into renewable energy assets that provide a range of benefits. In this episode, Tim Montague explores the possibilities and challenges of developing solar farms on retired landfills with guest Annika Colston, founder and president of AC Power.Annika explains that there are over 10,000 closed landfills in the US that could generate up to an estimated 63 GW of solar power if converted to solar farms. However, building solar on landfills involves additional costs and complexities compared to traditional ground-mounted or rooftop installations.Despite the obstacles, a growing number of states like New York, New Jersey, and Illinois have recognized the opportunity and enacted policies and incentives to spur solar development in landfills. These programs help offset the extra costs associated with landfill solar projects.When executed successfully, landfill solar can yield a range of win-wins. The projects generate clean renewable energy, provide a new revenue stream for the landfill owner, reduce ongoing vegetation management costs, and improve underutilized sites that may have been seen as community eyesores.The episode concludes with a call to action for local leaders and community members to identify and advocate for solar development on idle landfill sites in their own backyards. As Annika puts it: "We should be telling our communities to go out there and develop them."Key Points:There are over 10,000 closed US landfills that could be converted to generate 63 GW of solarLandfill solar involves extra costs and complexity but also major opportunitiesSome states have policies/incentives to spur landfill solar development (NY, NJ, IL, PA, VA)Benefits include clean energy, revenues, lower maintenance costs, and community improvementsLocal leaders are urged to pursue solar development on their communities' landfillsSocial Media HandlesAnnika ColstonAC Power Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Brownfields are blighted lands that have suffered environmental contamination, making it very difficult to redevelop them or make good use of them. Generally, they are previously used lands that have the presence or at least the potential presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, or other contaminants at levels exceeding health-based or environmental standards. There are nearly […]
Transmission backlogs. Land constraints. Local pushback. They're all causing headaches for developers of wind, solar, and battery projects. And that's making brownfields more attractive for renewables – and a range of novel, industrial-scale storage and carbon-removal projects. An Italian company is planning a compressed carbon dioxide storage project on the site of an old coal plant in the Midwest. It's a first-of-a-kind. And it may offer a pathway for the hundreds of gigawatts of long-duration storage that are needed to hit net-zero emissions. Today: Editor Lisa Martine Jenkins presents a story from contributor Emma Foehringer Merchant on the surge of interest in old industrial sites to host frontier climatetech projects like long-duration storage.

On Today's Episode: How would you define Agrivoltaics? Generally, the practice of combining agriculture and photovoltaics has been gaining momentum, and holds significant potential for multiple benefits that are critical for both the environment and society. In a recent interview, Dan French, the Executive Producer of the Solar Farm Summit, discussed his work in agrivoltaics, a practice that merges solar energy production with agricultural activities on the same land. French, known for transforming brownfields into 'bright fields' and for spearheading the agricultural tax movement, outlined the benefits of agrivoltaics. These include increased crop yields, improved soil health, and providing a habitat for pollinators.He pointed to several obstacles that impede wider adoption of agrivoltaics, such as high initial costs, lack of knowledge, and policy challenges. French underscored the importance of community engagement in gaining approval for solar projects and averred that agrivoltaics could help to address local concerns.Drawing from his experience at BP, French shared insights on real estate and brownfield development, emphasizing the relevance of engaging stakeholders and defining clear end goals. He suggested that this 'Brownfield playbook' could be applied to solar development.French expressed optimism for the potential of agrivoltaics in revitalizing rural jobs and small farms, and sees it as a key component of a broader agricultural and land use renaissance in sync with the clean energy transition. He also emphasized the significance of agrivoltaics in mitigating climate effects such as flash droughts and dust bowls. Furthermore, French referred to a study by University of Arizona Professor Greg Barron-Gafford that highlighted the potential for increased agricultural yields with reduced water usage under solar panels.Join us in Richmond August 31st for the Summer Shindig Dan and Nico discuss in the episode.https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virginia-solar-summit-summer-shindig-tickets-680277988777 If you want to connect with today's guest(s), you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest(s) and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 616 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

After almost being shot by a crime syndicate enforcer, Charlie and Mazz go to confront Richard Prout about who really owns the utility solar project. But Richard won't talk. Worse, he attempts a daring escape that frustrates the hell out of Mazz and Charlie and attempts to split them apart.True Solar TakeawaysBrownfields and landfills are ideal locations for utility solar projects because they're near grid infrastructure. Brownfields and landfills are also ideal because they typically qualify for a bonus 10% investment tax credit (ITC.) The standard solar investment tax credit is 30%.Ownership of a solar project is complicated. Often, the solar project developer is leasing the land from a landowner, but sometimes the land is bought. Also, as with many corporations, a solar project can have numerous investors who collect revenue from the solar power generated and sold to a utility, plus benefit from tax credits and other tax incentives.This story is fiction, but there has been at least one incident of the Italian mafia owning solar projects.

In the episode we chat to Rob Smillie, MD of Southern Gold, an exploration company exploring for precious metals in South Korea. They have a highly experienced team with a track record of exploration success in Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe and have a growing Brownfields and Greenfields exploration portfolio they are developing. Rob is an experienced management and exploration professional, with over 30 years of experience, including significant epithermal gold exploration, and is particularly working in Asia for the likes of OK Tedi, Calibre Mining and Oceana Gold. Rob gives us an overview of the company and what they are up to and what's South Korea like as a mining jurisdiction which many of you maybe surprised. KEY TAKEAWAYS Robert's experience has taken him from greenfield exploration to mining, all along the mining sector spectrum, making him well placed to act in any area of the business. South Korea's mineral potential is hugely attractive, and is massively unexplored by modern day standards. The mining business is a very small part of the economy in South Korea, and the rapid industrialisation means that high tech manufacturing is a vital part of the country's growth. There are a number of brownfields and greenfields projects under Southern Gold's belt. The main mine was mined over several levels to around 250 metres. BEST MOMENTS 'It's been a really great career and I've met a lot of tremendous people' 'What attracted us to South Korea was the potential' 'The mining industry has become a small scale industry' 'Despite being a great asset, this has very few holes in it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Website: https://www.southerngold.com.au/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southern-gold-limited Twitter: https://twitter.com/SouthernGoldASX Robert Smillie, Managing Director & CEO - rsmillie@southerngold.com.au VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, a former oil-and-gas man named Efrem Jernigan catches the solar bug. Inspired by the potential for lower energy bills and green jobs, he looks into bringing solar to the neighborhood he grew up in, a historically black part of Houston called Sunnyside. But for many Sunnyside residents, the technology is out of reach: Many are renters. Others lack roofs with sufficient sun. And still others simply don't have the money to purchase expensive solar systems. And it's not just Sunnyside. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that less than half of American homes and businesses can install rooftop solar. So what are the solutions? One answer, at least in Sunnyside, involves a controversial landfill that gets new life as a solar farm—specifically as something called a community solar project. Matthew Popkin, a researcher at the energy thinktank RMI, talks about how community solar projects get around the barriers of rooftop panels. Also in this episode: how do we turn former industrial sites—also known as brownfields—into renewable projects?

A new study by Kansas State University researchers is looking at ways to reduce the risk of exposure to lead in soil in the hope of finding affordable methods that could be replicated around the country.Ganga Hettiarachchi, a professor of soil and environmental chemistry, is leading the research with her team through a $700,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).Hettiarachchi said conversations with officials from the health department and Brownfields program in Kansas City, Missouri, made her realize the scope of the issue.“I came to know that the elevated blood lead levels in children in [the] urban core in Kansas City is about nine times higher than the national average," Hettiarachchi said. "And then nearly 50% of the parcels they tested, tested soil lead concentrations greater than 400 parts per million.”

From old petroleum sites to chemical dumping grounds, toxic waste sites are disproportionately located in low income and minority communities, and carry lots of adverse health and environmental impacts. And today, climate change threatens to make it even worse, with floods, hurricanes, and wildfires ravaging brownfields and spreading toxins into these communities. Today, we cover what brownfields and Superfund sites are, what problems they create, and some strategies for how to clean them up. With special guest Dr. Lemir Teron: Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This episode is part of Covering Climate Now's Living Through the Climate Emergency joint coverage week, reporting on the realities of climate change and its solutions through the week leading up to Earth Day 2021.

Quantum Quote: “The good you do today, may be forgotten soon, but do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it'll never be enough. But give your best anyway. Life is never easy. ” – Mother Theresa Do you have old landfills in your town and think how ugly they are and want to have something useful instead? Are you interested in using solar and wind energy to help save the environment - and save money at the same time? There are over 50,000 landfills in the United States, and there's a big need for solar and wind energy. Converting landfills into renewable energy power centers is a great match. Paul Curran and BQ Energy convert brownfields and landfills into solar and wind energy power centers. Paul explains that those properties should not be used for parks or for people's homes. Paul got interested in clean energy in the late 1970's when he heard the president of the United States say that getting energy independence in the country was the moral equivalent of war. Sadly, neither the technology nor the politics were ready. But 20 years after that, the world said we needed clean energy, the technology had advanced, the policies were ready, and the economics made it possible. In this episode, Paul talks about why BQ only works on brownfield and landfills. He also shares how he was doing Steel Winds years ago, and how the project changed the logo of the City of Lackawanna. SuperNova #1. “So we took a timeout, and about 20 years after that, things started to catch up to where now, this is not only the right thing to do, it's a very easy thing to do. It's the right thing to do from a societal and an economic point of view..” – Paul Curran SuperNova #2. “Lackawanna is a great story of how you can transform a brownfield into a wind and solar power plant in what was a steel company town. When you do the right things, great things happen for everybody. There were no losers on that project.” SuperNova #3. “It's an awesome responsibility, frankly, on people like us to be put in a position to impact people's lives for generations. Turning a landfill into a clean energy center fulfills a need to turn around a bad situation.. That type of return is not dollars and cents - it's measured in how well we do the job.” Worst Clean Energy Moment: “Most of my down moments have to do with how am I going to pay the bills? How are we going to keep this thing going. And most of them relate to government tax and utility structures that vary from state to state and change over time.” Aha Moment: When a management trainee's research said that putting a wind farm on an oil refinery was a bad idea. Best Advice He's Ever Received: Keep your head head straight, keep your eye on the prize and do what you should be doing. Most Energized about Today: That the use of solar energy is very much common and normal now. Personal Habits that Contribute to Success: Understanding people - figuring out what they like doing and what they are great at doing. Internet Resource: For data about energy statistics - BQEnergy.com Book Recommendation: “The Century Trilogy” by Ken Follett. Magic Wand: “Take away the subsidies from the coal mine operations, take away the subsidies from the nuclear industry, take away the subsidies from the oil industry, natural gas depletion allowances, and all this kind of stuff - and take it away from solar and wind. Then we'd see the real economics and solar and wind would grow even faster”. WTF or F: Lake Erie was frozen on May 7 of 1963. It will never be frozen in May again. The climate has changed. Parting Advice: “We're doing the right things here. The world has caught up with it, which is a scary thing to think. But I think it is the right path to be going on. I think that's being proven more and more every day.” Connect: www.bqenergy.com
