Bill Green Founder and Managing Partner at Climate Adaptive Infrastructure , recently spoke with Saijel Kishan of Bloomberg News to discuss the recent sell-off in green stocks and challenge the misconception, fueled by recent headlines, that the energy transition is slowing. “Public markets are notoriously fickle and have, in our view, overreacted to rising interest rates and supply chain challenges,” commented Green. CAI remains committed to addressing the climate crisis through infrastructure projects that decarbonize our energy, water and urban infrastructure systems from the outset. Our portfolio includes pioneers like Intersect Power and Rye Development, who, along with other clean energy companies, are at the forefront of advancing clean energy technology.   For a more in-depth analysis, read the full article here (subscription required): https://lnkd.in/eCcqXPZM #InfrastructureInvestment #ImpactInvesting #CleanEnergyTechnology #Decarbonization #MarketInsight

If you work in an energy-intensive industry you may be faced with the challenge of rising energy costs! So what support is available for energy-intensive industries? 👇 - Climate Change Agreement (CCA): Businesses with a CCA can receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL). CCAs are voluntary agreements between businesses and the Environment Agency to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. Meeting targets results in a CCL discount on bills. - British Industry Supercharger (BIS): The BIS aims to help energy-intensive industries stay competitive by reducing electricity costs by £20/MWh by 2025. - Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF): This fund supports energy-intensive businesses in reducing consumption through investments in energy-efficient measures and low-carbon technologies. - Energy Intensive Industries Compensation Scheme (EII Compensation Scheme): Designed to counteract increased costs from carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes. Discover how these initiatives can help reduce your energy bills and keep your business competitive in a changing landscape: https://zurl.co/Ofds #EnergySupport #energyintensiveindustries #energymanagement #Sustainability

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝘆 (𝗖𝗖𝗟) 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞 The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a tax on UK businesses' energy usage, aimed at encouraging energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Introduced as part of the government's strategy to combat climate change, it applies to businesses across various sectors. 🔍𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗖𝗟? The CCL is charged on electricity, gas, and solid fuels. The rates vary annually and are designed to incentivize businesses to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. 💰 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁? CCL can be between 4-7% of your entire energy bill and can significantly impact businesses, especially those with high energy usage. 📉 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁? Businesses can take several steps to manage and reduce the impact of the CCL: 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Implement energy-saving measures and technologies.

How AB Could Decarbonize-With NET Power Alberta can have 0 emission electricity from natural gas, no need for a transition away from natural gas, but not by 2035!

"Decarbonization" is a big buzz word now in #environmentallaw and #esg as we look to sources beyond fossil-fuel generation to work on #climatemetrics. In the post linked below, Devin Ross and I summarize a recent settlement in Berkeley, California's "gas ban" case; what "decarbonization" means; what commercial and residential buildings can do to decarbonize; and tools local governments are deploying (e.g. building code revisions; incentives) to compel them to do so. Check it out!

Looking to do some financed emissions damage control? We got you 👊 And if you’re wondering what that even is, well, we got you there too (the gist being if you’re a financial institution that funds projects, companies, and assets, you’re indirectly contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aka, financed emissions).
