The #CleanEnergy transition is underway, and the U.S. Department of Energy recently released a $33 million funding opportunity to advance smart manufacturing technologies that can reduce manufacturing costs and accelerate the path to market for clean energy technologies. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to support applications to develop innovative smart manufacturing solutions that: · Improve the efficiency and economics of circular supply chains · Advance sustainable transportation manufacturing · Accelerate the development of high-performance materials for the clean energy transition · Create more sustainable, safe and competitive mining in the United States Learn more and submit concept papers to DOE by 8/22: https://bit.ly/4d9ub0x #CircularEconomy #climatetech #technology #manufacturing #mfg #energy #netzero

Made in Victoria – Energy Technologies Manufacturing Program - Now Open The Victorian Government has unveiled the Made in Victoria – Energy Technologies Manufacturing program, designed to spur local manufacturers into the heart of renewable energy evolution. The program, heralded by Minister for Jobs and Industry, Natalie Hutchins MP, aims to equip manufacturers with the tools, skills, and technologies necessary to harness the vast opportunities the renewable energy sector offers. With grants ranging from $100,000 to $750,000, businesses are given support to expand their operations in creating components vital for the zero emissions and renewable energy infrastructures, including wind, hydrogen, and solar. The program is open to manufacturers with an existing presence in Victoria who require support to increase their capability to manufacture products or components for local and global supply chains contributing to net zero and low emissions technologies. Eligible manufacturing capabilities include but are not limited to automation, additive manufacturing, advanced materials design, robotics, and engineering. Close Dates: 5pm (AEST) 13th December 2023. Emma Evan Peter Bela Gary #advancedmanufacturing #australianmanufacturing #australianmade https://lnkd.in/dF5Qgc8P

The Queensland Government has unveiled a comprehensive strategy to position the state at the forefront of #quantum and advanced technologies manufacturing, introducing five competitive #grant programs totalling over $50 million. This initiative is part of a broader vision to establish Queensland as ‘The Quantum State’, supported by an $83.7 million investment over five years outlined in the 2024-25 Budget. The grant programs include: $𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 aimed at strengthening manufacturing infrastructure for quantum technology $𝟏𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨-𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 to attract collaboration and investment in manufacturing advancements $𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 focused on enhancing manufacturing processes for renewable energy technologies. https://lnkd.in/gCWjK4J8

This is VERY exciting. We just cannot decarbonize the grid -- and the others sectors that must electrify -- without this type of innovation.

I was interviewed by H2cluster a couple of weeks ago. On among other things what we do, where the green hydrogen business in Finland is at the moment and how I see the feasibility of the ventures. “In this project article, we interviewed Raine Luomanen from Fimpec to find out how management consultants and engineering experts can answer these questions and help speed up hydrogen projects.” #greeneconomy #greenammonia #greenhydrogen #hydrogeneconomy #greenmethanol #greenenergy #greenfinance #hydrogen #hydrogenenergy #fitfor55 #power2x #h2 #finland #fimpec https://lnkd.in/dG5cdr3b

While attending the National Conference on Microgrids in Boston I’m inspired to share a Case Study on a microgrid solution Centrica delivered for a life science company. The challenge was to achieve consumption/cost reduction, greater resiliency and accelerate decarbonization. The solution was a 1.6 MW solar array and a 5MW/10MWh battery storage system using a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, which is cobalt-free and aligns with the customer’s sustainability practices. The battery storage system meets 100% of the facility’s peak power needs for two hours and can operate up to several hours more depending on the load of the facility. The advanced microgrid has a seamless rapid mode dynamic switching system between on-off grid operation and can be integrated with other generation assets. The team developed a solution that delivers transfer of power from grid to battery in 24 milliseconds, five times faster than utility system control standards, resulting in consistent voltage to maintain operations. Original payback was seven years. Yet, because the system was so efficient they were able to net meter power back to the grid that accelerated their ROI to just 12 months. Please send me an InMail to learn more about how microgrids can benefit you and your organization.

Wood Mackenzie's take on the global module supply market. "While exacerbated oversupply conditions will further tighten profits, there are still some opportunities available for an agile, integrated manufacturer. The current limited profit margins for module-only manufacturers means there is no room for further decreases, which gives an advantage to manufacturers that are vertically integrated. Some module-only manufacturers will be forced to take orders at a loss, reduce capacity or even shut down." Runergy Solar's vertically integrated supply chain and manufacturing of silicon material to high-efficiency modules provides customers with the competitive advantage of having a stable and dependable partner during market volatility.

As demand for #batteries continues to grow, there is a need for more sustainable #manufacturing processes. In a POWER magazine article, Kyle D'Silva, Director of Clean Energy, Analytical Instruments Group, Thermo Fisher Scientific, shares how quality processes and analytical solutions can help optimize #batteryproduction from mine to line without compromising quality.

The most critical aspect of biotech manufacturing facilities is grid resilience…and Centrica delivered. This Case Study details how Centrica designed and built an energy resiliency system which included a microgrid with a 1.6 MW solar array and a 5MW/10MWh battery storage system using a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, which is cobalt-free and aligns with the customer’s sustainability practices. The battery storage system meets 100% of the facility’s peak power needs for two hours and can operate up to several hours more depending on the load of the facility. The advanced microgrid has a seamless rapid mode dynamic switching system between on-off grid operation and can be integrated with other generation assets. The team developed a solution that delivers transfer of power from grid to battery in 24 milliseconds, five times faster than utility system control standards, resulting in consistent voltage to maintain operations. Oh, and the payback period was just 12 months. Whether you’re a biotech firm, higher ed institution, real estate firm or any organization who wants power resiliency or maximum energy efficiency, send me or your Centrica representative an InMail to find out how we can deliver for you.
