Noya is reshaping the future of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, where its unique DAC modules will be as ubiquitous as solar panels. Here are just a few reasons why we're thrilled to support Josh Santos, Camille Richman, Christopher Kitching, Spencer Anderson, John Greenfield, and the entire Noya team: ⚡ Efficient Operations: Noya's process operates solely on electricity, eliminating emissions from traditional heat-intensive methods. 💧 Water Sustainability: They are net producers of clean water, utilizing intermittent renewables to support water-scarce regions and enhance local agricultural opportunities on underutilized land. 📍 Optimized Site Selection: Noya selects sites strategically near injection wells and water sources, ensuring minimal transportation and access to affordable, clean energy. 🔬 Innovative Technology: Their special sorbent material combines activated carbon with a proprietary capture agent, eliminating the need for expensive and energy-intensive heating equipment during CO2 regeneration. As global DAC capacity aims to scale significantly by 2030, Noya's scalable, low-emission solutions play a crucial role. Learn more at the video below! 

Did you know renewable technology is very adaptable...

Innovation in energy is critical to ensuring our system is clean, reliable and affordable. Great to talk with a full house of energy sector professionals and innovators about the big opportunities of a system that is becoming more flexible, distributed and smart. I suggested three opportunities for Queensland: 1. infrastructure - how do we more rapidly deploy the enabling infrastructure for the energy transformation? (e.g. using drones for transmission work) 2. integration of consumer energy resources - how do we better integrate CER to benefit consumers and the grid? (e.g. virtual power plants) 3. renewable fuels - how do we use Queensland's bio assets to help decarbonise hard to abate sectors? (e.g. renewable diesel). No easy answers - but that is where collaboration between the sector, entrepreneurs and universities can find new ways. thanks to Wayne Gerard for convening this conversation.

The European Union (EU) has been ahead in addressing the challenge of PV end-of-life. Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, PV panels are classified as e-waste, leading to stringent recycling standards and innovative technologies to prevent environmental burden. This proactive stance is crucial, as without effective recycling processes, it is estimated that 60 million tons of PV panel waste could end up in landfills by 2050, posing significant environmental risks. Innovative research has led to technologies with up to 96% recycling efficiency. The integration of artificial intelligence and robotics in the recycling process is making it more efficient and cost-effective, setting a high bar for the future of solar panel recyclingng. This approach exemplifies the importance of sustainable end-of-life management of solar panels. As we continue to harness solar energy, it's imperative to consider environmental impacts and recycling to ensure we take the best approach here in the U.S. as well.

I get asked a lot what is the process of recycling solar panels…check out the image below⬇️ Many of our affiliate partners process the panels very differently based on their equipment technology, resources, manpower and their partners who buy the byproducts. Do you have a preference in the way the solar panels are processed?

Staggering facts. It is estimated that 60 million tons of PV panel waste could end up in landfills by 2050, posing significant environmental risks. Here’s how panels are recycled.
