Among all the backlash and negative sentiment around carbon dioxide pipelines in the U.S. Midwest, Tallgrass Energy’s subsidiary, Trailblazer Pipeline Company (Trailblazer), stands above its CO2 pipeline cohort in achieving positive public approval in its recent agreement with Bold Alliance. Tallgrass announced earlier last week that it has developed a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) with Bold Alliance in regards to its Trailblazer CO2 pipeline conversion project, which has received endorsements from 11 statewide organizations in Nebraska. As part of the agreement, Tallgrass has pledged $1.1 million dollars, with $500,000 in donations to non-profit organizations, $600,000 in training and an on-going commitment to equipping first responders to respond to emergency CO2 events as well as yearly public safety notifications to residents near the pipeline ROW. In addition, Tallgrass introduced a unique landowner payment structure which allows landowners to receive yearly royalties based on the length of pipeline on their land as well as the flowrate of the CO2 through the pipeline in any given year. Tallgrass has also agreed to return easements to landowners upon decommissioning of the line which gives the landowners the power to remove the pipeline from the property if desired. This agreement between Tallgrass and Bold Alliance is a major breakthrough in the public perception of CO2 pipeline projects and should be used by future developers as a benchmark for how to handle community engagement early on in its planning process.

In 2024, IREC’s Regulatory team delivered seven notable clean energy policy wins that will reverberate nationally as these policies become accepted best practices. This impact is unequivocally big for a nonprofit organization of our size. The regulatory reforms IREC is fighting for—presently in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Virginia, and other states—make it easier, more economical, and more equitable for families, schools, businesses, and energy users of all stripes to decarbonize. At IREC, we focus on distributed energy resources such as microgrids, EVs, and wind and solar systems less than 1 MW because these options actually enhance overall grid reliability and make electricity more affordable for everyone. If you value IREC's work to build a clean energy future, consider making a donation today! All gifts between now and the end of 2024 will be matched thanks to generous contributions from our Board and an anonymous donor.

SFN is LIVE! SFN is the largest renewable non-profit fundraiser, and Wow do we have a big year lined up! 3,000 attendees expected. Live action show, aerialist, cryo, concert-style laser show, boxing ring and more! This is the first year ever that we are embracing the “Fight” theme. For those that don’t know its origin story, The Solar Fight Club was founded when the industry was struggling to take root. Most of us were living small project to small project and simply seeking to survive another day. We couldn’t find customers, we couldn’t find investors, we could often barely make payroll… it was all a Fight. The nature of the struggle has changed dramatically – how to operate at this new scale, how to solve for grid access, how to overcome political divides… but it’s still a Fight. And it’s more urgent than ever! Join us in Anaheim. We will rally the troops, raise funds for our non-profit partners and have a good time so that we can get back to work with renewed vigor! Event is live: https://lnkd.in/ejwTxJud Goal: raise over $500,000 and donate over $200,000 to our non-profit missions Non-profits supported: Honnold Foundation, Climate Action Pathways for Schools and Let’s Share the Sun #solarfightnight #solar #renewables #energytransition #climatechange #sustainability #re+

SaveLBI.Org www.savelbi.org Please, consider joining this very good cause for the island, it's residents and it's businesses as prices are sure to escalate. But, to me, that is only the symptom to the problem. The long term environmental and sustainable impact these installation of these turbines can have to our eastern ecosystem, will be devastating because it's forever. And it is now evident that the mapping of the ocean floor did in fact confuse and thus kill ocean life. Much of this affected the local whales that migrate by LBI. Especially near 5th street. Also dolphins and other ocean life was affected. In Spring Lake, NJ a rare Beaked Whale washed ashore. Please at least research what SaveLBI is doing and why it is important. Please see note below from group, friend and President, below: Dear supporters, The crowds may be dwindling, but our work effort to protect the Island and the ocean is not. Now that the Atlantic Shores project off Long Beach Island (LBI) has been federally approved we are intensely engaged in lawsuit preparation and plan to file a series of complaints within the next two months. We have also been trying to reach persons and businesses in other parts of the State who may not realize that even if they are not directly affected by the shore impact of this project, they will be affected in their pocketbooks, particularly in their electric bills. Regarding those bills, in the past year Statewide average residential electricity rates increased by about 15 percent. This is just the beginning. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has guaranteed higher prices for two new offshore wind projects and is now considering a more highly subsidized price for the Atlantic Shores project. Together this will increase residential bills by another 23 percent, commercial bills by 27 percent and industrial bills by 30 percent. For the full offshore wind program, we expect these increases to almost double. In a competitive world, this is economic suicide and must be moderated. Given all the other problems with the Atlantic Shores project as described in the attached letter sent to all our State and federal representatives, the obvious smart thing for the BPU to do is to not approve the Atlantic Shores project. We urge you to send that message to the BPU, and to our elected representatives more inland and north of LBI. We continue to raise funds to support our legal effort regarding this project though our website, www.savelbi.org. In that regard, we invite you to be a sponsor or foursome for our SaveLBI Golf Classic on September 24, 2024 at the LBI National Golf & Resort, 99 Golf Road, in Little Egg Harbor. Please see the link below and contact us with any questions. https://lnkd.in/eNjt8NxU We hope to see you there and appreciate all you do for the cause! Bob Stern, President Save LBI

This is a great example of how we can all improve sustainability, through big actions and small. Plus it will help keep the lights on when I use the scout hut to vote in July 🙂 #wearearup #netzero #sustainability
My children joined Ben Rhydding Scout & Guide Group when we moved to the UK which has been a fantastic experience. I jumped at the opportunity to join the Board of Trustees to give something back. At my first AGM we reviewed the accounts including energy costs and I asked why we had fluorescent lights and not LED... It also made me think of all the Scout huts in a similar position. Arup has a partnership with Scouts UK through our community engagement program - through this we were able to develop a Net Zero Guidance document for them and used BR Scouts HQ as one of the case studies. This help provide a roadmap for the Group to get to Net Zero in operations. The Group self funded the quick wins like changing all the lights to LED, motion sensors etc with the big ambition of getting solar panels on the roof. We fundraised & sought grants (including Ilkley Town Council) and worked with P4 Solar who were very generous with their support. Now the solar panels and batteries are up and running – we are generating power for self use, reducing our bills so we can invest more in our young people, exporting power to the grid for the wider community use and engaging our young people on renewable energy. Can we claim to be one the first net zero operational scout huts?! I wanted to share this story as I love being able to bring professional skills into a volunteering capacity and help a fantastic community organisation on their net zero journey. Many thanks to P4 Solar Freddie Maddocks for supporting our Group, Dave Byrne, Andrew Walton, Robin Moffatt & Robin Beaumont from BR Scout & Guide Group, Jonathan Bailey CEng MICE & Sharon Lee from Arup / Scouts UK Partnership and @Lewis Turner, Gemma Grant Daniel Huxton (formerly Balding) on the Scouts Net Zero Routemap and anyone who read this very long post to the end! 😀 Next step for the Group Headquarters is a biodiversity plan.. !!

In light of all of the bad news that we hear lately, I thought that another good news story about people TAKING ACTION was called for: There are many abandoned, leaking oil wells in this country, all of which leak methane. Three high school students decided to do something rather than rant about the issue. The students raised $11,000 and the well is closed. They are now raising money to plug a second well… DeFeo Associates Spotlight: More Good News That People Care https://lnkd.in/gjk9cijW #methaneleaks #climatechange #emissions #oil #gas #environment #DeFeoAssociates
