✅ NextEra has added over 3 GW of renewables and storage projects to their backlog making it their second-best renewable energy origination quarter ever. ✅ The southeast U.S. is transitioning from new methane facilities to expanding solar arrays for home use, wind energy, and battery storage. ✅ Projections suggest renewables and storage additions will grow three times faster in the next seven years than in the previous seven, and NextEra projects a 20% increase in overall project pipeline capacity. Discover how NextEra, one of the leading companies in the solar sector, recorded its second-best quarter ever for renewable energy origination, further boosting the belief that solar energy is the future. For climate-savvy Texas, the shift is firm towards the use of solar arrays for home use, wind energy, and battery storage - a practice expected to spread. Though the growth trajectory in solar is influenced by various factors, including policy changes and advancements in technology, it is poised for rapid growth in upcoming years. Forecasts suggest that renewable and storage additions will grow three times faster in the next seven years than they did in the previous seven. NextEra, for instance, expects its project pipeline capacity to increase by 20% from the prior year, with a large part of this capacity planned for the southeast and Midwest region of the US.

QuickBOLT’s Butyl Bottom Deck Mount, a deck-mounted attachment for solar installations on pitched rooftops, has received Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval from Miami-Dade County, a key authority on structural testing for hurricane zones. This approval (NOA 23-1122.07, valid until 04/25/2029) confirms that the product has met rigorous testing standards for high-velocity hurricane zones. The Butyl Bottom Deck Mount features a T-foot-shaped mount with butyl adhesive for weatherproofing, four screws, and stainless steel sealing washers for durability. Rick Gentry, VP of product development at QuickBOLT, expressed pride in meeting the high standards required for approval, underscoring the product's reliability in challenging climates. https://lnkd.in/ejhwNU2V #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #SolarInstallation #QuickBOLT #HurricaneZone #MiamiDade #BuildingStandards #SustainableLiving #GreenEnergy #SolarPower #Weatherproofing

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the launch of a new Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), with up to $500 million available for projects expanding CO2 transport infrastructure capacity, aimed at supporting the future growth of the U.S. carbon capture and storage industry. Funding under the new program is being made available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which allocates approximately $6.5 billion over five years in funding to carbon management projects and initiatives, including carbon sequestration and transport infrastructure, Direct Air Capture, and carbon utilization programs. According to the landmark Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate change mitigation study released in 2022, scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C include carbon dioxide removal methods scaling to billions of tons of removal annually over the coming decades. The carbon removal and storage sector will need to develop rapidly in order to meet these climate goals, however, with most CO2 capture solutions still at early stages and limited in scale, and major investments required in infrastructure to transport and store carbon once captured. The DOE noted that the U.S.’ carbon transport system, encompassing methods such as pipelines, trucks, and freight, currently transport almost 60 million metric tons of CO2 annually, while 400–1,800 million tonnes of CO2 will need to be captured and permanently stored annually in the U.S. in order to meet the country’s net zero commitments by 2050. Brad Crabtree, Assistant Secretary of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, said: “To successfully achieve our climate goals, it is critical to ensure that we have adequate infrastructure in place to accommodate the growing volumes of carbon dioxide over the next 25 years that we must capture from industrial facilities, power plants, and future direct air capture projects and then transport to geologic formations for permanent storage.” The new FOA will provide grants under the DOE’s Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (CIFIA) program, offering financial assistance for the design, development and construction of CO2 transport capacity up front, that can be made available for future carbon capture and direct air capture facilities as they are developed, and for carbon storage and conversion sites as they enter into operation. Transport systems eligible under the FOA may include pipelines, rail, trucks, and barges or ships, and must connect two or more CO2 emitting sources to one or more conversion sites or secure geologic storage facilities. The DOE added that it is interested in projects in different regions, in order to increase understanding of varying transport costs, modes and network configurations, , in addition to technical, regulatory, and commercial considerations, to help inform its research and development strategy, and to encourage commercial-scale deployment of carbon capture
