Gas Networks Ireland has announced the construction of Ireland's first large-scale renewable gas injection facility, starting in summer 2023. Gas Networks Ireland CEO Cathal Marley is due to outline the Green Renewable Agricultural Zero Emissions (GRAZE) renewable gas project, which involves the construction of a central grid injection (CGI) facility in Mitchelstown, county Cork. The CGI facility will process biomethane, a renewable gas made of farm and food waste, from up to 20 local farm producers. Using a process called anaerobic digestion, the waste will be converted into a gas that is fully compatible with existing Irish gas networks, vehicles, and other technologies. Mr Marley said: “Ireland's national gas network must be repurposed to transport renewable biomethane and hydrogen at scale. Gas Networks Ireland is uniquely placed to deliver the necessary change, and with projects such as GRAZE, we're already working hard to help deliver Ireland's sustainable energy future.” This biomethane could be used in industry, transport, home heating, and power generation, with a plethora of other potential. As biomethane is carbon neutral, it can significantly reduce emissions when replacing other forms of natural gas. Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD, said: “This project shows how we can diversify our gas supplies, by speeding up the roll-out of renewable gases like biomethane. Projects such as this will reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels, which is especially important now in the context of the war in Ukraine. “The Government's National Energy Security Framework, which sets out how Ireland is prepared to deal with potential shocks to our energy system, has highlighted the need for alternatives to natural gas, such as biomethane and hydrogen, to be developed to enhance Ireland's security of supply and provide additional diversification for Ireland's energy mix”, he added. This process can also help support net-zero goals in the Irish agri-food sector. The agriculture-heavy Golden Vale area surrounding Mitchelstown is an ideal place to begin this project. Mr Ryan said: “A domestic biomethane industry would not only support the decarbonisation of the agricultural sector, but it would also provide significant opportunities for rural communities and facilitate sustainable circular economies, with businesses powering their operations via renewable gas made from their own waste.” “It will contribute to our broader climate goals – of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050”, added Mr Ryan. At a maximum capacity, the facility will be able to meet the energy requirements of up to 64,000 homes. Mr Marley said that the rollout of biomethane energy would lead to “up to 6,500 jobs” being created, primarily in rural parts of Ireland. GNI is also currently in the process of advancing plans to add hydrogen to its network in the future. While the Irish gas network currently has no hydrogen, it is believed blends of up to 20% hydrogen could be transported along existing gas lines. It is hoped that by 2040 Ireland could be connected to the new European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) network. If successful, the GRAZE project could be replicated in other locations around Ireland. The project is supported by the Climate Action Fund, which has given it more than €8.4 million in funding as part of the Government's National Energy Security Framework. The Climate Action Plan has set a target of around 3% of Ireland's gas usage to be replaced by biomethane before 2030. The EU Green Deal has pointed out biomethane as a valuable tool in decarbonising European agriculture and energy, with Ireland highlighted as having the highest biomethane production potential per capita in Europe due to its large agricultural sector.

While Ag's detractors often paint Agriculture as an environmental villain, I promote Agriculture as an environmental solution. Renewable energy, carbon sequestration, water filtration, and enviro benefit via land management are all enhanced through Agriculture. In the future we may also be a reservoir for carbon rich bio char and a supplier of alternative products — besides corn and soy — for renewable energy. Kore is a start-up company with technology they believe can work with Agriculture for energy and environmental benefit. Sponsored by Nori nori.com and Pattern Ag pattern.ag

Oliver Yates (pictured) wants Victoria to capitalise on the wonderful wind resource of Bass Strait and has given oxygen to this idea through the Sentient Impact Group, a company he now heads after a long spell with Clean Energy Finance Corporation. Oliver was one of the many speakers at the June 22 conference - "State Energy Summit Victoria" - organized by the Clean Energy Council. Not only does Oliver want Australia to move as quickly as it can to renewable energy sources, but he also wants to see that happen as we protect other species and so his group has developed what it calls the "Forever Fund" - he discusses that in this episode and more detail about that matter can be found on the group's website. If passion alone can make something happen, Oliver already has floating wind turbines in the Bass Strait.

Carl Wurtz is the president of Californians for Green Nuclear Power, a group “dedicated to promoting the peaceful use of safe, carbon-free nuclear power, and to keeping Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant” operating. In this episode, Wurtz explains why it's unclear if Diablo Canyon will be kept open, why California often has to pay neighboring states to take its electricity, why a “vote for solar and wind is a vote for gas” and why “batteries are useless” for grid-scale electricity storage. (Recorded May 24, 2022.)

Gas price hikes are a daily conversation and the exorbitant price of fuel is literally hyper-fueling inflation. The last time we saw conditions like this was the 1970s which gave rise to a new product — “Gasohol.” From there, came the ethanol boom and biodiesel. But diesel from soybeans never really gained traction. And ethanol fueled the “no food for fuel” debates that have arisen with every food price increase. So, what is the future of Ag-based biofuel in a world pushing electric vehicles and “green energy?” Pete Meyer with S&P Global Commodity Insights delivers insights and information about the future of biofuel and frankly, it looks pretty darn good! Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel — if you haven't heard of these two products and what they may do to the Ag landscape, listen up!! Sponsored by Nori nori.com and Pattern Ag pattern.ag

Green Companies Now I'm headlining with this article. Though it refers to Canadian companies, these companies could be of interest to investors globally. The article's titled Meet the 50 fastest-growing green companies in Canada. It's from the outstanding Corporate Knights group. About half of these companies are public. Here are some quotes from the article. “Our objective was to identify outstanding Canadian entrepreneurs and companies that are gaining significant traction in the fight against carbon – with exciting new solutions that most of the world hasn't discovered yet… These game-changing innovators include Calgary-based Eavor Technologies, which has a system to produce geothermal energy almost anywhere in the world, using looped water streams that tap the heat deep underground to augment solar and wind-powered electrical grids. Toronto-based Hydrostor has another plan for augmenting wind and solar grids, to free utilities from fossil-based backups such as natural gas and nuclear. Hydrostor uses off-peak energy to heat utility-scale quantities of compressed air, which is stored in underground chambers until peak energy demand requires the air to drive a turbine again. In Squamish, B.C., Carbon Engineering – founded by a Harvard professor – has created technologies to suck carbon dioxide right out of the atmosphere, for underground storage or processing into synthetic fuels. Bill Gates is an investor.  Oneka Technologies, founded by entrepreneur Dragan Tutic in Sherbrooke, Quebec, at age 23, brings affordable drinking water to coastal communities with scalable desalination systems, sustainably powered by ocean waves. And one of the women leading the cleantech charge in Canada is electrical engineer Miriam Tuerk. Her company Clear Blue Technologies is bringing light and wireless service to remote regions through ‘smart' off-grid wind and solar systems… The Future Still, most of these companies are works in progress, their ultimate fates unpredictable. In publishing this list, Corporate Knights makes no promises about their prospects, or their suitability for investment. Innovation doesn't work that way. But the future depends on their success.” End quotes.

Green Companies Next. A massive area of concern for many investors is climate change and its effects on the world's oceans. Now a fascinating ETF has launched with this concern and here's an article describing it. It's titled An ETF to Save the Oceans Splashes into the Market. It's found on an investopedia.com video podcast. Here are a few quotes from the transcript. “The United Nations World Oceans Day is being celebrated this week, and while we should celebrate and protect our oceans every day, it's always good to focus on our most precious of natural resources, even for one day alone. And now you can invest in helping protect our oceans through a new exchange traded fund (ETF) from New Day Impact, a San Francisco-based asset management and financial technology company that brings responsible investing to those who seek investments that reflect their values, kind of like the folks who listen to the Green Investor Podcast. The New Day Ocean Health Exchange Traded Fund, which trades under the ticker AHOY, launched this week, and it aims for long-term capital appreciation through investments in companies that are diverting ocean-bound plastic waste, supporting sustainable fisheries, controlling ocean acidification caused by CO2 emissions, and actively using strategies to combat ocean pollution and other threats to marine health. Doug Haski, the CEO of New Day Impact, is behind the team bringing that ETF to market, and they are doing it with EarthEcho International, an environmental nonprofit organization established by Philippe and Alexandra Cousteau in honor of their father, Philippe Cousteau Sr. and their grandfather, the legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. Doug and Philippe, are our special guests this week to talk about the launch.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Green Companies Next is an article quoting CNBC.com's renowned host/investor Jim Cramer (who) says he likes this alternative energy play for a high inflation environment. Quote. “CNBC's Jim Cramer… gave investors his blessing to buy shares of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure. ‘Atlantica's a real company that sells real stuff at a profit and returns those profits to shareholders, while still having a relatively cheap stock. It's exactly what we like in this high inflation environment where the [Federal Reserve] is slamming the brakes on the economy,' the ‘Mad Money' host said. Skyrocketing inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have put pressure on the global supply of commodities, including oil, which is driving up prices of barrels and gas at the pumps. Cramer noted that high-quality alternative energy companies benefit from the skyrocketing prices… He added that Atlantica had solid results for its most recent quarter, reporting 7% comparable revenue growth, and has a 5.5% dividend yield.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- A Guide To ESG Strategies For Municipal Bond Investors Now, most diversified portfolios will include bonds and they'll likely include municipal – or local government – bonds. However, it's rare to find a good guide for ethical and sustainable investors concerning these bonds – but this article offers some insight. It's titled A Guide To ESG Strategies For Municipal Bond Investors. It's by Erin Bigley, Marc Uy; Gavin Romm, and Larry Bellinger. It's found on seekingalpha.com. Here are some quotes. “Summary Municipal bond investors increasingly want to apply environmental, social, and governance considerations to their portfolios. Some muni investors may want to apply ESG screening to avoid specific issuers based on personal considerations and values. Muni impact investing can target many important ESG-related goals, ranging from improving water supplies and mass transit to energy efficiency and economic development.” End quotes. Also, you can get a good idea of what their article covers from these sub-headings. They are. Integration: Measuring ESG Across Muni Portfolios Screening: Customizing According to Investor Preferences Measuring ESG Doesn't Have to Cost You Impact: Improving Outcomes for Underserved Communities Choosing a Muni ESG Approach Hinges on Investor Goals ------------------------------------------------------------- 2022′s Top Sustainable Funds Weather a Tough Market This next article from Morningstar.com in the US has this title that says it all: 2022′s Top Sustainable Funds Weather a Tough Market. It's by Katherine Lynch. Here's some of what Ms. Lynch has to say. “This year has been difficult for many ESG funds. Energy stocks have been top performers, but most sustainable strategies hold little or no oil company stocks because of the link between oil and gas consumption and climate change. At the same time, sustainable funds tend to have outsize weightings in technology stocks, many of which have taken a beating in 2022. As a result, 65% of sustainable U.S. equity funds sit at the bottom of their Morningstar Category rankings in terms of year-to-date performance… Despite the headwinds in 2022, six sustainable funds covered by Morningstar analysts rank in the top half of their category. Five of them carry a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze or Silver. For the most part, the strong 2022 performance for this group of funds isn't limited to just this year. For the past three years, five out of the six landed in top two quintiles of performance. In addition, over the past five years, four of the six funds ranked in the top 10% of all funds in their respective category.” End quotes.

Raised within the cannabis community on the hippie communal plant life path. Desiree's mother was an advocate and educator of plant medicines. Her father was a skilled craftsman in addition to cultivating both hemp and cannabis. Desiree was your typical hippie GenX stoner youth - traveler, followed "The Dead", trim-igrated around the Northwestern region until she finally pursued a business degree to engage in the average 9-5 grind in such industries as Commercial Development and Renewable Energy. And then Desiree was diagnosed (and beat) cervical cancer. For years, she lived a double life working a corporate, non-cannabis job and her off-hours paving my path into the 215 medical cannabis landscape. As a relentless cannabis advocate for others, she found herself advocating for her own life. Desiree's experience within the Renewable sector birthed the fondness she now has for legislative bodywork and the commencement of laws for Cannabis within the State of California. As a Cannabis Compliance and Operational Analyst Specialist, she bridges compliance, systems, and processes through her intuitive approach to culture, technology, and cannabis governess. From evaluating and condensing operational overhead to regulatory body compliance framework and policy-making, Desiree drives home compliant operational success in an often complicated cannabis business landscape.  Timestamps 0:00 Intro 12:00 Medical to Adult Use Transition 15:40 Challenges in Starting A Cannabis Consulting Business 18:30 SOP vs Playbooks: What's The Difference? 26:20 Steps to Begin Your Cannabis Consulting Business 45:00 Unpacking California Cannabis Challenges Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rmcc_cannaconsulting/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocky-mountain-cannabis-consulting Subscribe to Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TaI1xJHpRgvTXT92Jfv4W?si=HTTsEiO3Tq6FdhBlWju9Uw Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBysW0XMCO5lUvgy1xk2RYw Learn More RMCC's Certification: https://academy.rmcc.io/certification

Do you lose sleep over artificial intelligence? Do you think it will win the battle with human intelligence?  Making Conversations about keeping up Count! "We have renewable forms of energy. We've learned about wind and sea power and stuff like that. But robots, when they apply their minds, actually, they might uncover something completely different?"  Allister Frost, Making Conversations Count - (June 2022) Psst! Low on data? Here's a lower bandwidth version for you. Is there really a battle of artificial intelligence vs human intelligence?  Allister Frost is a very smart man. He's got a lot to say in this episode. Yes, about AI (or as we know it - artificial intelligence) and the dawn of something called artificial general intelligence. But also about a range of other subjects too. Including, what really is the post-pandemic 'new normal', how Buddhism can play a part in business success, and just how rad soap is! As you'll learn from this episode of the "Making Conversations Count" podcast, there's far more hidden away from us in life than a robot vac and some bath time bubbles! You'll learn.... The ‘new normal' What is artificial intelligence, really? The future of AI and ‘artificial general intelligence' that passes the Turing test How Allister applies Buddhism in his work The genius of soap Allister's conversation that counted – (and some brilliantly simple business advice for any business owner!) A poignant moment from the episode: "It's about recognising that your comfort zone, the sort of safe, easy life that you created for yourself. It's nice, it's cosy, but it won't exist in the future because things are going to change. Now, you have a choice. You can wait for change to happen to you and you'll kind of have to roll with it.
