 WBCSD and NBI Sign MOU to Advance Net Zero Buildings The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and New Buildings Institute (NBI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) formalizing the organizations’ relationship. The agreement signed last month defines how the two organizations will collaborate to advance and promote energy efficiency, enhance resilience and achieve carbon reductions in buildings. This is critically important as buildings account for nearly 40% of carbon emissions globally. |  Enertia Plans Mass Timber 'Energy' Campus in NC Research Triangle Enertia® Building Systems, Inc. now the world leader in Mass Timber technology, is planning a Mass Timber Research Campus to explore new MT/Species layups, timber enhancement, and carbon storage. Mass timber is the most exciting building method in recent history, but has been focused on offices, tall buildings, and speed of construction. The real potential is its ability to store thermal energy- leading to buildings, for the first time in human history, that heat and cool without fuel or pollution. | Biofuels | Shell Invests in SAF Producer LanzaJet  LanzaJet, a leading sustainable fuels technology company and sustainable fuels producer, announced that Shell has joined as an investor in the company to advance LanzaJet’s global growth, accelerate commercialization of its technology, and scale the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). | Senators Reintroduce Bill to Recognize Environmental Benefit of Biofuels Flying Start for Renewable Fuels Project in Australia Biogas | Gasum to Supply Finnish Border Guard with Biogas  On April 1, 2021, Gasum delivered a batch of domestic biogas from the company's Turku biogas plant to the Finnish Border Guard in Helsinki.

The goals are to demonstrate substantial heat recovery from an exploratory well which has already been drilled but cannot be produced by conventional geothermal technology and to assess the techno-economic feasibility of developing the resource with new technology to create a large-scale geothermal power production facility. | Hydrogen Jane Marsh | How Pests Can Help Renewable Energy Develop  It sounds almost too good to be true, but a well-known marine pest, called the gribble, can significantly aid in developing and storing a renewable energy source called biomass. The potential these pests have is significant. While the science behind this development is complicated, the practicality of harnessing and storing energy as biomass that is even more environmentally friendly than the current process is hopeful. | Panorama PV New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signs Community Solar Act into law UAE
