Calix Wins Global Net-Zero Industry Award at COP29 for ZESTY! We are thrilled to announce that Calix’s Zero Emissions Steel TechnologY (#ZESTY) has won the @Net-Zero Industries Award for Outstanding Project at #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Presented by Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the Honourable Chris Bowen and Austrian Minister for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, Leonore Gewessler, the award celebrates ZESTY’s success and potential as a lowest-cost solution to green iron and steel production—an industry responsible for approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. On receiving the award, Calix Limited CEO and Managing Director, Phil Hodgson said, "I hope this award highlights that ‘hard-to-abate’ climate challenges can be solved. Technology solutions are ready to be scaled and deployed. And ZESTY, with its minimal hydrogen use, efficient electric heating, and compatibility with a range of ore types, has the potential to deliver an industry-wide and lowest cost solution. “ZESTY’s success has been made possible through our collaboration with industry partners and members of the HILT CRC, coupled with support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Australian Government. We recognise and thank all our partners for their support and look forward to continuing our collaborations as we take ZESTY to the commercial demonstration phase and beyond.”  Discover how ZESTY is leading the change: https://lnkd.in/gNTTkM8w #Marsisforquitters #greeniron #greensteel #hydrogen #netzero

Earlier this year, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Under Secretary for Infrastructure David Crane issued a commercialization and financing memorandum, affirming the imperative to mobilize private sector investment in DOE-funded projects. One issue discussed in the memo is the DOE's tangible property interest in connection with its financial assistance awards.  Over the past couple months, DOE has developed a standardized “consent agreement” (currently referred to as the “Government-Creditor Agreement” (GCA)). DOE is providing an opportunity for public comment on the GCA prior to issuing a standard template GCA after the public comment period.  DOE is open to comments from all stakeholders and encourages lenders and their counsel to provide feedback.

A special thanks to our sponsors — Jones Walker LLP, Rosenberg & Parker, AJW, Inc., and Silicon Valley Bank — for their support in making this event possible. Institutional investor registration closes on November 8th, so please reach out if you’d like more information.

Grateful to have learned, networked, and been inspired during #VERGE24 last week with Jason Gray. What a fantastic intersection between new tech and climate warriors. From new #climatefinancing instruments to #climatedisclosures to innovative #renewableenergy deployment. It was a packed agenda. Take a look at my top three picks! 👀 1. Energy Peace Partners’ P-RECs for peace 🕊️ and development in the world’s most vulnerable countries. P-RECs are instruments generated from qualifying renewable energy projects in climate vulnerable, conflict-affected, and energy scarce countries that can be purchased by corporate buyers seeking high-impact instruments to meet voluntary or mandatory #sustainability goals. Purchasing P-RECs can help drive essential investments that are extending the benefits of renewable energy to vulnerable places in the world. Please see how it works: https://lnkd.in/gCCVfjje Thank you Doug Miller and Sherwin Das for a very informative and inspiring Roundtable discussion! 2. Ampion, PBC. - Community Solar ☀️ made simple for ALL. Ampion’s approach matches homeowners, renters and anyone who pays a utility bill with their locally-operated and community-driven #solarfarms. They have simplified subscriptions to #communitysolar through an innovative, online platform that interlays a myriad of different types of community solar programs available in many states. And Ampion+ leverages community solar programs to provide corporate buyers with RECs they need to substantiate their environmental claims. Ampion has cracked the code that is providing residential customers and businesses easy access to bill savings and community solar. Check out how it works: https://lnkd.in/gWqrdD_j Thanks Vihann Kong for sharing your insights on making #communitysolar work in California. 3. Aquarry - Verge 24’s Startup to Watch Winner 🏆 Carbon management is all the rage with historic federal funding and private investments pouring hundreds of millions $ to catalyze novel #carbonremoval technologies to help restore our atmosphere. Aquarry is developing technology to store carbon in closed open-pit mines. Closed mine pits often fill with water, creating “lakes.” They estimate there are tens of thousands of these lakes. Their technology would plug lakes by pulling CO2 from the air to mix with the water to produce limestone. This is intriguing! Kate Murphy, PhD and Spencer Whitman, Ph.D. I am excited to see that your technology also helps improve water quality. Is that by helping prevent runoff and leaching from contaminated mining lakes into rivers and ecosystems? Definitely one to watch! https://www.aquarry.earth/ #innovation #cleanenergy #batterystorage #communityenergy #directcarbonremoval
