Thank you to the students from Legacy Christian Academy and Kara Hermogeno for making time on their spring break to showcase what they are learning about #hydrogen. Thank you to Texas Hydrogen Alliance for organizing the event and we look forward to seeing our industry friends and legislators shortly. Come check these students race their hydrogen powered sprint cars between 12p-2p in the Legislative Conference Center. #energyexpansion #nextgeneration #everygenerationmatters #CTE #careerandtechnicaleducation Reach to RW Energy out if you want to learn more about how to sponsor your own school team. Thank you to Ash Limo Service and ECHO transportation for getting our team to the capitol.

Two industry leaders, Baker Hughes and Woodside Energy, have joined forces to revolutionize the energy sector. ???? Their collaboration with Net Power's groundbreaking carbon capture technology is set to reduce emissions from natural gas power plants, making energy production more sustainable without sacrificing efficiency. ?? Key Highlights: ? NET Power's technology captures 97% of CO? emissions before they reach the atmosphere ?? ? Scaling up small, modular low-emission solutions for industries still relying on fossil fuels ?? ? Potential for widespread industrial decarbonization with minimal disruption ?? #Sustainability #Decarbonization #CarbonCapture #Innovation. #IndustrialSolutions #EnergyTransition https://lnkd.in/gCuVUZXT

Core Value 3: Every Generation Matters!

Graphitic Energy Launches Pilot Plant for Clean Hydrogen & Graphite ?? Graphitic Energy (formerly C-Zero) has officially commissioned a pilot plant in San Antonio, TX, to produce low-cost clean hydrogen and solid graphite using its innovative methane pyrolysis technology. ???? This cutting-edge technology converts natural gas into zero-emission hydrogen and valuable graphitic carbon. The plant will generate hundreds of kilograms of hydrogen daily and is expected to provide vital carbon to industries using it for batteries and nuclear reactors. ? Key Points: ?? No CO? emissions ?? Scalable tech ?? Supports US energy security & decarbonization ?? Boosts critical mineral supply Graphitic's approach to clean hydrogen production is poised to transform the energy landscape! ???? https://lnkd.in/gfPxerFu #Hydrogen #Innovation #Decarbonization #Sustainability #CarbonNeutral #FutureOfEnergy

Sumitomo Electric has launched a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) with a 30-year lifespan! ?? This new energy storage system is designed for long-duration applications, offering up to 10 hours of storage. The innovative use of long-life materials boosts output and energy density while reducing costs and space requirements. ??? Key benefits: ? 30-year operational lifespan ? High recyclability ?? ? Strong safety credentials ? With decoupled energy capacity and power output, VRFBs offer scalability and reduced wear & tear, ensuring long-term efficiency and cost-effectiveness. ?? #EnergyStorage #Innovation #Sustainability #Storage https://lnkd.in/g9PBwiD2

It's time we take charge of the narrative surrounding #energyexpansion. To do that, we must first address how we communicate development plans. Too often, big announcements lack solid, penciled-out economic realities or fail to account for potential policy changes. As a result, many communities are left shortchanged—losing out on jobs, tax revenue, and, in some cases, desperately needed revitalization. Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and Letters of Intent (LOIs) are vital steps in building business relationships. However, headlines frequently exaggerate their significance, implying that these preliminary agreements guarantee "steel in the ground." MOUs simply help us identify potential partners, and LOIs establish the framework for collaboration. At this stage, it's all about planning, not building. Unfortunately, this isn't entirely within individual companies' control. Media and industry channels often amplify even small signs of progress to fuel excitement. The real issue isn't just the availability of capital—it's the growing distrust in the authenticity of proposed projects. Time and again, we've seen announcements used to raise capital based on hope rather than strategy. We must do a better job of transparently communicating the true stages of project development to communities, investors, and employees. To that end, here's a suggested framework for aligning tones with the milestones in announcements: MOU signed: Thumbs up! ?? LOI signed: Fist pump! ?? Letter of Commitment signed: Round of applause! ?? Binding contracts signed: Break out the confetti and call your friends! ?? Construction underway: Time to do a jig! ?? Operations commenced: Tip of the cap! ?? If we can educate the market on these stages and deliver truth in our announcements, we’ll create more authentic opportunities to grow energy expansion. This is my perspective—now the choice is yours.

We're thrilled to share that RW Energy was?selected to be a sub-awardee for the?cutting-edge Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hub in one of the best geological storage regions in the world – the Illinois Basin! With a simulated cumulative capacity of nearly 1 Gigatonne CO2, this hub represents a game-changing opportunity to tackle climate challenges.??In?partnership with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Visage Energy and a list of other innovative companies, RW Energy is tasked with developing economic models to assist?in?developing the Business and Financial Plan for the IL Basin DAC Hub. ???Key Features of the DAC Hub: ? Initial capacity: 200 KTA (Year 1 of operation), with the potential to scale rapidly beyond 1 MTA. ? This is just the beginning – 1 Megatonne CO2 is only a fraction of the region's massive storage potential. ? Powered by industry-leading DAC technology providers: Carbon Capture Inc. (100 KTA) and Heirloom (100 KTA). Together, we’re taking significant strides toward large-scale carbon removal, storage adn utilization. Stay tuned as we continue to optimize and innovate! #DAC #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #Innovation *Image Source: IL Basin DAC Hub Website

?? Transforming the Plastic Industry with Methane Gas and Biodegradable Solutions ?? Mango Materials, a California-based company, is leading a groundbreaking project to create biodegradable plastic replacements using methane gas. Funded by BioMADE, the initiative aims to demonstrate the feasibility of decentralized biomanufacturing by using low-resource environments to produce bio-based PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. ????? With partners like Black & Veatch, R2DIO, and the University of California, Davis, this project is a key step in advancing bio-industrial manufacturing, reducing reliance on imported plastics, and fostering economic resiliency in constrained areas. The team plans to build cost-effective, small-scale biomanufacturing units to produce biodegradable plastics at the point of need. ??? ?? With funding from BioMADE and a completion target of June 2026, this project could revolutionize the plastic industry while also reducing carbon emissions. ???? #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #BiodegradablePlastics #Methane #Innovation #CleanEnergy #PlasticAlternatives #BioManufacturing #FutureofEnergy https://lnkd.in/ernJNTm7

STRATOS: Direct Air Capture (DAC) is nearing completion! ??? Occidental Petroleum’s STRATOS facility, set to be the world's largest DAC project, is 94% done and on track for a 2025 launch. The project aims to remove CO? directly from the air, helping mitigate atmospheric CO2 by either storing it underground or using it in low-carbon fuel production. ?? Major construction milestones achieved with full-scale operations expected by late 2025. The facility will be key in driving down costs and scaling DAC tech globally. ???? STRATOS represents a huge step forward in carbon removal ???? Oxy #CarbonCapture #NetZero #ClimateAction #Innovation You can read the entire article here ?? https://lnkd.in/gJaKJbR8
