Plans by World Energy GH2 to produce hydrogen in the Stephenville area are on hold. A statement from the company last week said, "The green ammonia market is not maturing at the rate expected." The company also says the market will dictate the timeline for its proposed project. That leaves the business community hoping that the company will continue with their plans for wind turbines, with other industries benefitting from the power. Debbie Brake-Patten is president of the Bay St. George Chamber of Commerce. She and Stephenville Mayor Tom Rose spoke with Radio-Canada's Patrick Butler.

A mismatch between suppliers and buyers is making it hard to grow the supply of low-carbon products like cement, steel, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). If you want to produce a product like SAF, you want to find the cheapest place to do it — someplace where there's cheap, low-carbon hydrogen, for example. But the buyers who have the incentive and money to pay for those products might be halfway across the world. Or say you're a supplier of a low-carbon building material. Risk-averse contractors with tight margins may hesitate to pay a green premium — even if the final buyer of the building might be willing to pay extra to cut emissions. So how do you bridge the gap between the buyers and sellers of low-carbon products? In this episode, Shayle talks to Adam Klauber, vice president of sustainability and digital supply chain at World Energy, a low-carbon fuels company. They talk about book and claim, a system to separate the environmental attribute (avoided emissions) from the physical good (e.g. fuel). It's a system that developed in the power sector as renewable energy credits (RECs) and is now spreading to SAFs and other industries. Shayle and Adam cover topics like:  Book and claim versus other systems of tracking environmental attributes, such as mass-balance and physical chain-of-custody Lessons from the most mature book and claim systems, like RECs and SAF Key challenges like double counting the interoperability of digital registries and certification  Other industries where book and claim may develop like maritime, trucking, steel, cement, and chemicals Recommended resources Roundtable On Sustainable Biomaterials: RSB Book & Claim Manual World Economic Forum: The Clean Skies for Tomorrow Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate (SAFc) Framework Sustainable Supply Chain Lab: Decarbonizing the Air Transportation Sector: New greenhousegas accounting and insetting guidelines for sustainable aviation fuel Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping: MaritimeBook & Claim RMI: Structuring Demand for Lower-Carbon Materials: An Initial Assessment of Book and Claim for the Steel and Concrete Sectors Catalyst: The complex path to market for low-carbon cement Catalyst is brought to you by EnergyHub.

There's the hype and then there's the reality. One critic of the World Energy GH2 project says the organization is looking for an emergency parachute now that the European market for green ammonia isn't taking shape. But either way he says the project is bad for the area.

While World Energy GH2 waits for the green hydrogen market to come online it says it's exploring other options. We find out what Plan 'b' options Stephenville Mayor Tom Rose is hearing about.

In our latest episode we chat with Kathy Wight, Vice President for Net Zero Solutions at World Energy, and how they are leading the charge in decarbonizing business travel and freight. Kathy takes us from her roots in the NGO sphere to her pivotal role in driving practical sustainability solutions, sharing insights from her experience with the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and the innovative strides in sustainable fuels like SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and renewable diesel. We find out why she transitioned to the business side to actively work on developing practical solutions to decarbonise aviation.We venture into the complex landscape of Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates, dissecting the intricacies of environmental attribute certificates, and the book and claim system. Kathy helps clarify these often-confusing terms, shedding light on how these mechanisms play a vital role in reducing emissions across industry value chains. We discuss the importance of transparency and the potential for a universal taxonomy to simplify the process for newcomers, ensuring accurate carbon intensity scores and fostering broader engagement in the SAF arena.Additionally, Kathy explains how long-term contracts with corporations act as “market makers” for SAF, signalling durable demand and unlocking capital to scale up production facilities. For industry newcomers and veterans alike, Kathy's insights offer a deep understanding of how SAF certificates and partnerships are accelerating sustainable change in aviation.  She emphasizes the importance of taking action now, rather than waiting for the perfect system to emerge.  Check out our last episode with C.R Sincock, Avfuel, where we look at the development of the SAF supply chain: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2202964/episodes/16057604

Andrew and Doomberg will explore the World Energy Statistical Review, offering insightful perspectives on the reality of an energy transition. As global energy demand continues to surge—having more than tripled since 1970—developing nations are driving two-thirds of this demand in their quest to improve living standards. The world reached a grim milestone in 2023, with carbon emissions hitting an all-time high, fueled by the accelerated use of traditional energy sources, particularly in non-Western countries like China. Will 2024 look any different?

The green hydrogen race is on, and billions are at stake. Countries big and small view hydrogen as an opportunity to convert wind, solar, gas and nuclear into molecules that they can sustainably ship around the world. The hydrogen promise extends beyond reducing our carbon footprint and developing cleaner sources of energy; it's also about reimagining a new industrial model for our economy, opening avenues for economic growth and job creation. Canada is a country filled with vast renewable resources, but first we must navigate the complexities of the technology, economics and politics associated with a shift to clean energy adoption. Is green hydrogen the next great Canadian energy export and will it be the tech innovation of the decade? We're joined by Gene Gebolys, CEO at World Energy and Marco Alvera, CEO at Tree Energy Solutions (TES) — two global energy pioneers betting on Canada's green hydrogen potential, from the windswept Atlantic coast to the Mauricie region of Quebec. We also hear from the CEO at the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, Ivette Vera-Perez.

Künstliche Intelligenz elektrisiert die Börse. Durchaus auch im wahrsten Wortsinn, denn irgendwo muss der Strom für die Datacenter ja herkommen. Die Big Tech-Konzerne setzen dabei voll auf Erneuerbare Energien. Der S&P Clean Energy ETF kann davon bislang indes nicht profitieren. Im Gegenteil, der fast drei Milliarden Euro schwere Fonds hat seit dem Sommer 2022 über 40% verloren. Tobias Kramer und Christian W. Röhl zeigen auf, woran der bei ETF-Sparern beliebte Index krankt – und wie der übrige Energie-Mix investierbar ist, nämlich fossile Brennstoffe sowie die in vielen Ländern nach wie vor ausgebaute Kernenergie. Und schon nächste Woche geht's energiegeladen weiter, nämlich mit einer Feedback-Sendung rund um Öl, Gas, Uran, Sonne, Wind, Wasser und Geothermie.

In this episode, we talk to Jimmy Samartzis, CEO of LanzaJet, who shares the company's journey in developing the world's first proven alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology that converts ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. Samartzis discusses LanzaJet's ambitious target of producing 1 billion gallons of SAF by 2030. Elaborating on LanzaJet's highly efficient and capital-light ATJ technology, he explains how it can produce up to 90% of fuels as SAF and the remaining 10% as renewable diesel. The process is also adaptable to various feedstocks, including waste materials, allowing LanzaJet to leverage local, sustainable inputs, and cater to the needs and resources of different countries.Samartzis emphasises the importance of collaborations with airline investors and partners like British Airways and Southwest Airlines in driving the adoption of SAF. He also discusses the environmental benefits of LanzaJet's technology and SAF, which include the elimination of sulphur, reduction in particulate matter, and potentially lower contrail formation.If you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversation we had with World Energy's President & CEO Gene Gebolys who delves into the intricacies and future of SAF.

Despite frequent pronouncements that the world should stop using coal, it still consumes vast amounts of black rocks. According to the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy, coal's global primary energy consumption was about 15% above natural gas in 2022 and only 15% lower than crude oil.  Coal consumption has yet to decline. Instead, coal use has plateaued for the better part of the last decade.  Because of its carbon intensity and large consumption, Peter and Jackie describe coal as the “herd of elephants” in the room for meeting aggressive decarbonization and climate goals under the 2015 Paris Agreement. This week, our guest is Lara Dong, Senior Director, Global Coal Research, S&P Global Commodity Insights. Lara explains why coal demand has been resilient and what to expect in the future.  Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie ask Lara: Is coal consumption expected to stay strong? Why is China still building new coal power plants?  How does this compare to clean electricity additions in China, including wind, solar, and hydro? Is there still ongoing new investment in coal mines to add supply?  Why was 2021 a pivotal year for Chinese energy policy?  How did the 2022 energy crisis impact China's and India's energy policy for coal? Do you think the IEA Net Zero scenario, which assumes a 90% drop in coal consumption by 2050, is likely?  If Canada were to increase its LNG exports to Asia, would this decrease coal consumption (and greenhouse gas emissions) in the region?

La Russie aurait découvert une importante quantité de pétrole, l'équivalent de 511 milliards de barils sur ce continent situé autour du pôle Sud. Une convention internationale protège toute exploitation de l'Antarctique, mais cette découverte pourrait la remettre en question. L'information a été dévoilée par le magazine américain Newsweek, qui affirme que cette découverte a été faite par un navire de prospection russe, dont l'activité a été documentée notamment lors de son passage en Afrique du Sud et dont les résultats de recherche ont été présentés au comité d'audit de l'environnement de la Chambre des Communes du Parlement britannique. Les forages auraient eu lieu en mer de Weddell, un territoire que les Britanniques revendiquent au même titre que le Chili et l'Argentine.Moscou, de son côté, se défend et explique que les études conduites par le navire Alexander Karpinsky seraient uniquement scientifiques. Le bateau a pourtant été affrété par Rosgeo, l'agence chargée d'identifier de nouvelles réserves géologiques à des fins commerciales. La Grande-Bretagne questionne donc sérieusement les ambitions de Moscou. Des députés britanniques ont même affirmé que « ces études pourraient être un préalable à l'introduction d'appareils de forage » pour exploiter cette région inhabitée et vierge de 1,7 million de km2. La Russie, on le sait, a besoin de revenus pour nourrir son économie de guerre.Activité minière interditeLe traité sur l'Antarctique de 1959 interdit strictement l'exploration et l'exploitation d'hydrocarbures dans cette région du monde. De plus, la convention de Madrid de 1991 et le consensus d'interdiction de toute activité minière de 1998 interdisent jusqu'en 2048 l'exploitation du sous-sol de l'Antarctique. Mais tout État peut retirer sa signature et ne plus être soumis aux engagements du traité. La Russie pourrait donc contourner ces interdictions. La Chine pourrait aussi vouloir réclamer sa part du gâteau : Pékin vient d'ouvrir sa cinquième station en Antarctique et cherche aussi à renforcer sa présence dans cette région, officiellement, là aussi, pour des raisons scientifiques. L'enjeu commercial est vertigineux : les réserves de pétrole annoncées par les Russes pourraient permettre de produire jusqu'à 511 milliards de barils de pétrole ; à titre de comparaison, le monde entier consomme environ 36 milliards de barils par an, selon l'Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy de 2023. Il y aurait donc de quoi assouvir la soif de pétrole et de gaz du monde entier pendant au moins quarante ans.Catastrophe écologiqueAujourd'hui, l'Antarctique est d'abord victime du réchauffement climatique : l'ouest de la péninsule est l'une des régions connaissant le réchauffement le plus rapide de la planète et la couche de glace de l'Antarctique représente environ 61% de la totalité de l'eau douce sur Terre. Si cette couche devait fondre intégralement, cela conduirait à une élévation de 58 mètres du niveau de la mer, une catastrophe écologique.Pour dire les choses plus simplement, c'est là une très mauvaise nouvelle à tous les points de vue. Une telle réserve de carburants fossiles va, en effet, rendre d'autant plus difficile l'arrêt de la dépendance au pétrole et au gaz dont la demande et toujours aussi importante. Or, à l'issue de la dernière COP, le texte final a mis en avant la nécessaire transition hors des énergies fossiles. Ce qui reste rassurant, c'est le fait qu'exploiter des hydrocarbures en Antarctique seraient très coûteux et probablement assez peu rentable, ce qui pourrait freiner les investissements sur place.À lire aussiQuelles ambitions chinoises dans l'Antarctique?

In the first half, numerologist Glynis McCants (ph. 877-686-2373) joined George to discuss the World Energy of the year 2024, an 8 year, as well as how world events are unfolding and why it's not too late to seize opportunities to create personal wealth or find love. McCants, an expert in how patterns of events unfold exactly according to the energy signature of specific numbers, explained the origins of the discipline she follows, noting that it originated with Pythagoras, is more than 2,500 years old, and is based on "the belief... that everything in this universe has vibration," and that through numerology you can understand those vibrations and how they interact with people and events. For instance, she said, in the case of love and relationships, numerology can help a person determine "who is compatible to you and who is a challenge."She also explained how energy can be changed with numerology by changing numbers. All numbers can be reduced to 1 through 9, and are determined by adding together each series of numbers until you get to the root number. So, for instance, 640 would be 6+4+0 which equals 10. Then 10 would be 1+0. The number 640, then, would be a "1" number. So, McCants explained, if you want to be left alone, having your address as a "1" number is fine. If you don't want to be alone, though, you can change it, she said. You can do that, she claimed, by adding a number to gain the vibration you are seeking, and then writing or inscribing that number somewhere out of sight inside your doorframe. According to McCants, this will change the energy of your home without having to change your physical address. Be careful what you change it to, though. The numbers expert said while a "5" house will always be interesting, there are dangers of addiction associated with that number, while a "6" home is good for family and stability. McCants also touched on the numbers associated with world leaders and politicians, including Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Vladimir Putin, and what that predicted for them in the coming year before taking calls and giving readings based on the numbers associated with birthdates. For more, check out Glynis' online workshop on Saturday, April 6th on using affirmations and numerology for healing.-------------Journalist and researcher Alex Ansary has covered diverse subjects including the supernatural influence over human affairs, geopolitics, and World War 3, the Sun's effect on human consciousness, spiritual transformations, and other ideas regarding what we are really doing here on Earth. In the second half, he explained the impact of solar cycle 25 and how increased sunspots and geomagnetic storms correlate with more wars, conflicts, invasions, protests, and all-around civil unrest (view related material). Ansary began by noting how Galileo was one of the first to study solar cycles in the Western world but that the Chinese have been keeping records of sunspot counts for much longer. According to Ansary, the Russian researcher Alexander Chizhevsky used these records in the early 20th century to develop his theories of "heliobiology" or the study of the Sun's effect on biology, and was one of the first (at least in modern times), "to start looking at the Sun and the wars that were taking place when the Sun was active at that time." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

The NL provincial government approved World Energy GH2's amended environmental assessment last week. That means the company's proposed mega project to produce hydrogen from wind energy generated on the Port au Port Peninsula and Codroy Valley will go ahead. But even after the company had done more work on that assessment, as the government demanded, some people were still concerned about the plans. Claudelle Devoe is a tourism operator in the Codroy Valley and a member of the citizen's group Codroy Valley United.

Yesterday afternoon, the provincial government gave environmental approval for World Energy GH2's plan to produce hydrogen from wind energy generated on the Port au Port Peninsula and Codroy Valley. We got reaction from Nick Mercer, an expert on renewable energy and an executive of Enviro Watch NL.

The provincial government has given the official go-ahead for the massive wind-to-electricity-to-hydrogen proposal for western Newfoundland, The plan includes the construction of more than 300 huge wind turbines, as tall as 200 metres each. We heard three perspectives. Provincial Environment Minister Bernard Davis (0:25 mark) delivered the news yesterday, releasing World Energy GH2 from further environmental assessment. John Risley (3:05), the chair of World Energy GH2 says the decision was necessary to solidify NL's position as a global leader in renewable green energy production. Then, Nick Mercer (3:28), an expert on renewable energy and an executive of Envirowatch NL, weighed in on the government's decision.

The company doing wind testing on the Port au Port Peninsula says it's disappointed by vandalism at one of its sites. In late February, someone damaged solar panels and windows at the World Energy GH2 site, near the community of Mainland. The RCMP called it "intentional property damage," and they note that it's the second time the company has been struck by vandals. In January, 2023, heavy equipment owned by a contractor working for World Energy GH2 was damaged. CEO Sean Leet spoke with the CBC's Arlette Lazarenko.

RCMP are trying to find out who damaged equipment at a wind-testing site on the Port au Port Peninsula.The vandalism happened in late February. Corporal Jolene Garland is media relations officer with the RCMP in Newfoundland and Labrador..

The company that wants to develop wind energy in Western Newfoundland received a big boost this week. World Energy GH2 is getting a loan of 128 million dollars from the federal government. The company is proposing to build a wind-to-hydrogen plant in Stephenville, powered by wind turbines on the Port au Port Peninsula and the Codroy Valley. The company had said in the past that it wouldn't require government money for the five BILLION dollar project. Sean Leet is CEO of World Energy GH2.

Yesterday the federal government pre-approved a $128 million dollar loan agreement with World Energy GH2. We got reaction from Nick Mercer, an executive member of Envirowatch NL.

The federal government is giving a 128-million-dollar loan to a company that wants to generate wind power in Western Newfoundland. World Energy GH2 has an agreement with Export Development Canada for a loan of up to 128-million dollars. The announcement was made yesterday. The loan is meant to support the development of one of Canada's first commercial scale wind-to-hydrogen facilities, proposed for Stephenville. It will be powered by wind turbines on the Port au Port Peninsula and the Codroy Valley. Federal minister and Newfoundland and Labrador MP Seamus O'Regan made the loan announcement yesterday. Nick Mercer is an expert on renewable energy and is on the executive of Enviro Watch NL. The group that has been urging caution throughout the approval process for wind energy in this province.

Hello Earthlings! In this episode, our hosts Lisa Ann, and our guest Gene Gebolys (CEO and Founder of World Energy), take to the skies in discussing Sustainable Aviation Fuels or SAFs. SAFs are becoming more necessary year by year as the fight to combat climate change intensifies. Gene shares enlightening insights on the evolving SAF market and the company's groundbreaking transatlantic flight. We discuss the nuances of sustainable aviation, from fuel performance to the tokenization of emission reductions, and how these initiatives pave the way for a greener future in aviation and beyond.Picking up from our previous discussion in S2E3: Flying the Sustainable Skies, we dive deeper into how the aviation industry is tackling sustainability, especially through SAFs. With global aviation contributing approximately 2.1% of all human-induced CO2 emissions, the importance of this conversation has never been more pressing. We also explore the industry's informal goal of achieving net zero by 2050 and the interim solutions offered by SAFs as we await the certification of electric or hydrogen planes.In this episode, our "Restoring Faith in Humanity" segment takes us to Japan, where a poignant story unfolds about a man's final journey with his late wife's ashes. A flight attendant's compassionate gesture of moving the ashes to an adjacent seat illustrates the profound impact of human kindness and empathyKey Topics: Analysis of aviation's contribution to global CO2 emissions and the urgency for change.The industry-wide objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2050.A historical perspective on the evolution of SAFs, from Virgin Atlantic's initial use in 2008 to recent transatlantic flights powered solely by SAFs.The critical role of SAFs in decreasing lifecycle emissions, which includes production, transport, and utilization impacts.The concept of tokenization in emission reductions and its potential to transform the economics of sustainable fuel adoption.Projections for the future development and increased utilization of SAFs in the aviation industry.Voices on The Show: Gene Geboyls, CEO of World EnergyLinkedInWE X: @NewsWorldEnergy WE Instagram: @officialworldenergyWE Linkedin: World Energy, LLCWE Facebook: World EnergyLisa Ann Pinkerton, Earthlings 2.0 Host, CEO of Technica Communications, and Founder of Women in Cleantech and Sustainability LinkedIn: Lisa Ann PinkertonX - Lisa Ann Pinkerton Instagram - @LisiAnniTechnica...

In this episode, we talk to Amy Hebert, Chair of the Board and CEO at Arcadia eFuels, who discusses the rapidly growing field of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with a focus on e-fuels. eFuels are produced with electricity from renewable sources, water and CO2 and are a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Hebert discusses her entry into the field, driven by the untapped potential for carbon-neutral fuels despite existing technologies like Gas to Liquids and green hydrogen electrolysers. Arcadia, her company, aims for rapid market entry and large-scale e-fuel production, targeting significant reductions in CO2 emissions. She highlights challenges in securing long-term offtake agreements and the evolving understanding of e-fuels in the market. Hebert also acknowledges the current resource intensity of e-fuels and the high costs of SAF production, emphasising the need for smaller-scale projects and technological advancements. She shares that Arcadia has not yet started producing SAF, with production expected to begin around late 2026 or early 2027. The conversation covers the importance of securing long-term commitments for green hydrogen, engaging with potential customers, and exploring innovative financing solutions. Amy's vision is to enable airlines to use 100% eSAF, facilitating responsible and cost-effective air travel.If you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversation we had with Gene Gebolys, President and CEO at World Energy, the world's first producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that has been in the business of renewable fuels for over 25 years.

World Energy GH2 is planning to sell power to N-L Hydro as a part of its wind-to-hydrogen proposal on the island's west coast. The CBC's Ryan Cooke has been following this story, and he joined us in studio to help sort through it all.

The wind-to-hydrogen proposal from World Energy GH2 on Newfoundland's west coast may be a give-and-take arrangement... or, rather, a buy-and-sell deal. The company is hoping to sell any excess power it generates to the provincial grid in the winter, but will buy power from Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro in the summer. CBC's Ryan Cooke has been following the story.

In this episode we talk to Gene Gebolys, President and CEO at World Energy, the world's first producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that has been in the business of renewable fuels for over 25 years. They produce sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha, with plans to create renewable propane and green hydrogen.Gebolys delves into the intricacies and future of SAF in this conversation. Emphasising World Energy's transition from a biofuels company to a leader in SAF, he highlights the critical role of hydrogen in SAF production and the need for innovation in hydrogen sourcing. Gebolys sheds light on their groundbreaking green hydrogen project in Newfoundland, Canada, and the importance of balancing first and second-generation biofuels.We'll also learn about California's regulatory framework, which has been pivotal in the development of SAF, as well as the ‘book and claim' methodology, a crucial strategy for extending SAF's impact globally. The conversation underscores the importance of corporate partnerships, with companies like Microsoft and DHL playing key roles in SAF adoption. Gebolys envisions a future where SAF usage is standard, driven by customer demand and a collaborative effort from all industry stakeholders. If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Gregory Constantine, Co-Founder and CEO of Air Company which is transforming CO2 into clean alcohols and fuel.

The war between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas poses a major geopolitical risk for the world's energy markets and could send global fuel prices soaring if the conflict expands across the Middle East. POLITICO's Matt Daily breaks down how the war could impact global energy and the Biden administration. Plus, Washington's top trade official conceded that the United States and European Union may not meet their end-of-October deadline to reach a deal on green steel and aluminum.    For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro:  https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy   Catherine Morehouse is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of the POLITICO Energy podcast.

Reading an Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, sounds simple enough. At heart, it's a document that explains what a proposed project might mean for the environment. Government often requires an EIS to be filed and reviewed before a project can go ahead. But in reality, the document can be long, complex, and full of technical language. A deadline is coming up for public comment on World Energy GH2's proposed wind project, but the company's EIS is thousands of pages long. People in St. George's and Corner Brook can get some advice on that at upcoming public presentations. Camille Ouellet-Dallaire is an assistant professor at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University.

It's another mega-project, one that will transform the Port aux Port Peninsula and much of western Newfoundland. Three hundred or more wind turbines towering over the landscape, connected by roads and transmission lines. And 140 thousand tonnes of hydrogen produced for export every year. It's no surprise that many residents are worried about what this means for the natural beauty and ecology of the area. But the opposition runs much deeper than that single concern. Jamie Fitzpatrick spoke with several opponents of the World Energy GH2 wind-to-hydrogen proposal.

Four companies have been picked to move forward with wind-to-hydrogen projects in this province. We heard from one of them, World Energy GH2, about their project in Western Newfoundland. The CBC's Bernice Hillier spoke with the CEO Sean Leet, and environmental assessment manager David Pinsent.

Part 3/3 this week: Today, we wrap up our conversation with World Energy GH2. CEO Sean Leet and Environmental Assessment Manager David Pinsent have been telling us about the company's proposed wind-to-hydrogen project. The plan by World Energy GH2 to build wind turbines and a hydrogen plant in southwestern Newfoundland is not approved yet. The deadline for public comments on the environmental impact statement is October 11. World Energy GH2 wants to make and export hydrogen fuel - but who's buying? Bernice asked Sean Leet what's happening on the sales end of the company's proposed project.

Part 2/3 this week: World Energy GH2 is one of the companies proposing to build a wind-to-hydrogen project in this province. World Energy GH2 has been out ahead of other companies on a number of fronts, including wind-testing towers and its environmental impact statement. World Energy GH2's plan is not yet approved, and the deadline for public comments on the EIS is October 11. Sean Leet is CEO of World Energy GH2, and David Pinsent is the company's environmental assessment manager.

Part 1/3 this week: Talk about getting your ducks in a row. And quickly...One of the companies proposing a wind energy project in this province is out ahead on a number of fronts. World Energy GH2 wants to build wind towers in several areas of southwestern Newfoundland, and to produce hydrogen for export. The plan is not yet approved, but in just the past few weeks, the company has submitted its environmental impact statement, and the provincial government has issued a recommendation letter that sets the stage for Crown land approval. Sean Leet is CEO of World Energy GH2. David Pinsent is the company's environmental assessment manager. This is the first of three parts, airing this week on Newfoundland Morning.

Our guest on this week's episode is someone who over the past 25 years has played a pivotal role in the development and adoption of biofuels. He's a forward thinking leader who is committed to creating a better world. Joining Dan Ryan is President and CEO at World Energy, Gene Gebolys!Gene highlights the importance of achieving net zero, the value of being authentic, and the technology behind biofuels. Takeaways:  Hospitality is about welcoming others into your space and putting them at ease. In the context of sustainability, it is crucial to focus on decarbonizing sectors like aviation and help people travel with a lower carbon impact, aligning their actions with their values. Net zero is a critical concept in combating climate change, where the goal is to remove as much carbon as is emitted. Though offsets exist to absorb emitted carbon, their effectiveness and quality vary, calling for careful consideration in their implementation. Offsets have been widely abused, leading to a lack of confidence in them. However, the use of insets, which displace carbon emissions in the same sector, provides a high-quality alternative to offsets that can effectively reduce a sector's carbon footprint. Displacing fossil fuels with alternative energy sources may seem small in scale compared to the overall demand. However, it is crucial for leading brands to authentically uphold their net zero commitments and inspire other companies to join them. The importance of embracing innovation, energy efficiency, and sustainable living, lies in their ability to create a more thoughtful, connected, and sustainable future for all. To move forward, we must embrace a more community focused way of life. Approximately 9% of global carbon emissions are emitted during steel production. To address this, there is a growing need for increased efficiency and thoughtful design to reduce the creation and disposal of preventable waste. By using wind energy to break water into Oxygen and Hydrogen, wind energy can be stored in the form of “green hydrogen”. This allows for a renewable energy source like wind, to be bottled up and transported across the globe.  Quote of the Show:“If you're a corporate leader today, how can you be a corporate leader on everything but the biggest problem the species faces?” - Gene GebolysLinks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GebolysGene  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genegebolys/  Website: https://www.worldenergy.net/  Shout Outs: 05:47 - Google Flights: https://www.google.com/travel/flights 05:56 - United Airlines: https://www.united.com/en/us  06:31 - Hotel Marcel: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/hvnsdup-hotel-marcel-new-haven/  11:53 - John Oliver's Carbon Offsets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0  25:05 - Air Products: https://www.airproducts.com/  37:50 - The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance: https://flysaba.org/  38:06 - Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/  38:07 - Deloitte: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en.html  38:10 - Apple: https://www.apple.com/  38:15 - Bank of America: https://www.bankofamerica.com/  38:17 - JPMorgan Chase: https://www.jpmorganchase.com/  46:24 - Taniya Nayak 46:31 - Yellow Door Taqueria: https://www.yellowdoortaqueria.com/  Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

Diesmal mit Katharina Schipkowski und Susanne Schwarz. Urwälder sind nach wie vor nicht ausreichend vor der Vernichtung geschützt: Weltweit wurden im vergangenen Jahr 4,1 Millionen Hektar tropischer Regenwald abgeholzt oder fielen Waldbränden zum Opfer. Das entspricht etwa der Fläche der Schweiz. Damit sind noch zehn Prozent mehr verloren gegangen als noch 2021. Noch Schulden tilgen, wenn gerade eine große Unwetterkatastrophe gewütet hat? Das ist für arme Länder der Einstieg in die Schuldenspirale. Künftig soll es in internationalen Kreditverträgen Katastrophenklauseln geben, sodass es eine Pause bei der Rückzahlung von Schulden gibt. Erneuerbare boomen weltweit - aber trotzdem lieferten fossile Energieträger 2022 noch mehr als vier Fünftel der Energie. Das hat der „Statistical Review of World Energy“ ergeben, der als Standardüberblick zur Energiewelt gilt. -- Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender*innen unterstützt.

Rendere i sistemi energetici più efficenti e meglio integrati nel sistema di produzione, ma anche analizzare l'impatto che il clima può avere su questi sistemi. Di questo si occupano Alberto Troccoli ed Elena Bertocco.

As 2023 nears, Nick goes back to 1984 for episode 84’s dedication—commemorating the seven-game NBA Finals series between the Boston Celtics and LA Lakers. The intense matchup marked the golden era of NBA basketball as the 1980s would feature classic rivalries, many of the sport’s greatest players, and iconic coaches. Nick crosses over from the hard court to America’s military, stressing the importance of focusing on the best military equipment, contractors, and systems. He calls out a new rule proposed by the Department of Defense and NASA that aims to require defense contractors to disclose their CO2 footprints, reduction plans, and their climate risks. Nick suggests our government is more concerned about our military’s carbon footprint than its efficacy, which is great for our enemies, as are all America’s climate policies. Such a strategy would’ve spelled loss for the Celtics and Lakers in 1984, and Nick fears it could spell loss for our military in an increasingly hostile world. Next up, Nick discusses BP considering ending the publication of its Statistical Review of World Energy. “Another symptom of how the energy space is being driven, more and more, by the mystic and not by the science,” says Nick. While some in the energy space yield to mysticism, CNX Resources is not. That’s why the company has recently launched its “Positive Energy Hub”—a new forum for energy related facts and resources. Nick proceeds to delve into CNX’s recently announced vision for the Appalachian region, aka “Appalachia First.” It’s a chaotic world when it comes to energy, but Appalachia should be ground zero for a better energy future. The CNX vision is a strategic roadmap, leveraging low-carbon-intensive natural gas to transform key sectors of America’s economy and workforce while also changing the world for the better. Why Appalachia? Nick says it all centers around location-location-location, including Appalachia’s workforce, existing infrastructure, and decades of energy supply. Nick concludes by looking at the motivators behind constructing the Appalachia First vision.
