Low Carbon is delighted to announce that we have fully commissioned Ter Apel Solar Farm.   The 27MW Dutch solar farm is Low Carbon’s first utility-scale solar project to issue the Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) since we became an Independent Power Producer (IPP) capable of delivering large-scale renewable energy capacity globally.   Located in the province of Groningen, Ter Apel has the capacity to generate enough renewable energy to power more than 10,000 homes and avoid an estimated 7,000 tonnes CO2e annually, playing a key role in supporting the decarbonisation efforts of the Netherlands.   To deliver the project, Low Carbon have worked closely with BELECTRIC GmbH, our long-term partner, and one of Europe’s leading providers of engineering, procurement and construction services for solar farms.   Low Carbon and BELECTRIC are working together on a portfolio of large-scale Dutch solar projects that are expected to enter operations later this year and share a mutual goal of delivering renewable energy infrastructure in a sustainable way.   Commenting on the milestone, Low Carbon’s Managing Director of Portfolio Management, Steven Hughes said: “We are delighted to formally hand over our first renewable energy project since becoming an IPP. This is a landmark moment in Low Carbon’s journey and reinforces our capability to deliver renewable energy projects at scale. Our long-term partnership with BELECTRIC has been fundamental to the success of Ter Apel, and we look forward to working together on the delivery of further projects in the coming months as we look to play a key role in accelerating the energy transition.”   Dr. Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director at BELECTRIC, added: “The fact that Low Carbon selected us to construct these exciting projects speaks volumes about us and our project experience. We have been working successfully with our customer since the beginning of 2022 and look forward to expanding the partnership and helping Low Carbon deliver 20 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.”   Low Carbon is on a mission. Together we will power tomorrow. #NewRenewables #Solar #PoweringTomorrow

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has approved an investment of €124.9 million for our Eemshydrogen project, which involves the construction of a 50 Mwe electrolysis plant in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. The electrolysis plant will be powered by green electricity from the Westereems onshore wind farm, located just 5 kilometres from the Eemshaven power station. This is an important step towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and thus meeting European climate targets.  Dr. Sopna Sury, COO RWE Generation, underlines how the region will benefit from this electrolysis plant: "By supplying clean hydrogen, for example to the transport sector and chemical plants, our Eemshaven site will help reduce carbon emissions of industrial companies in North-Western Europe." Green hydrogen is a fundamental part of RWE's investment strategy, with plans to invest €55 billion between 2024 and 2030 for expanding its green portfolio to 65 gigawatts globally.

Biogas season is starting in Europe! Here's a snapshot of our #biogas system installed last year at a campsite in #Holland. It took a break in winter, but since the days became longer again, it has started to produce gas again. This is a natural miracle and quite hard to believe that biogas microbes just stay dormant during cold times and wake up again once temperatures rise. They simply continue transforming organic material into biogas once the temperature inside the digester reaches 15°C again. #Campers can add their kitchen waste from their cooking spots into the system and use the gas produced for cooking at their caravans. Sustainable energy in action! We're excited to see more #campsites in Europe adopt this eco-friendly solution. It's a simple way to reduce waste and promote green living. Let's make a difference, one campsite at a time.

🌍 Last Tuesday, Endurans' Imco Goudswaard presented his vision on a PFAS-free future for PV backsheets during a Chemsec webinar. In light of the upcoming broad PFAS ban in Europe, Chemsec organizes a webinar series called "Beyond PFAS: The Safer Alternatives".  In his presentation Imco showed PFAS is used in 72% of solar panels installed around the world. But technical and economical viable PFAS-free alternatives for backsheets do exist and have been embraced by the solar industry for many years already. Endurans has always been a strong ambassador for PFAS-free backsheets and leads the way with its Endurans HP series. PFAS-free and circular-by-design! 🚀 📥 Interested in downloading the presentation? 👉 https://lnkd.in/enKwvDpu 🌐 For more information on our Endurans HP series, visit our website: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJb5ks3s #PFASFree #SolarEnergy #EnduransSolar #Circular #GreenFuture

Let’s talk #hydrogen. Hydrogen is poised to fulfil a key role in our future energy system. However, the large-scale (sustainable) hydrogen production, development of a new European and international infrastructure, and hydrogen market are still in the early stages of development.   The Netherlands wants to play a key role in this nascent sector. That’s why governmental agencies Netherlands Enterprise Agency , Energy Innovation NL, and trade association FME issue a yearly Hydrogen Guide. The 2024 edition is filled with best practices and data about the Dutch hydrogen landscape. It also contains an overview of parties who support the hydrogen ecosystem. Magnus Energy also features in this guide.   Maurits Verheijen, hydrogen expert: “We are happy to help organisations navigate the evolving hydrogen landscape. There have been breakthroughs since the EU launched the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package and, more recently, the upcoming EU Regulation for common rules for the internal markets for hydrogen. Also, pioneering cross-border hydrogen projects such as mosaHYc, initiated by Creos Deutschland and GRTgaz, are setting the scene. This sector can move quickly if the many parties involved successfully manage those complex projects.”   Find the 2024 Hydrogen Guide here: https://lnkd.in/eG7WPiaJ   Did you know our experts are involved in the mosaHYc project?

Network operators and the industry endorse the ambition of the National Circular Economy Program (NPCE) to use 50% less primary material in 2030 compared to 2014. This means that within 6 years, tenders, production processes and availability of the non-primary raw materials must be in order. To make the energy transition possible, as Guy de Sévaux already mentioned, millions of tons of materials are needed to expand the energy infrastructure. To mitigate the use of primary and critical materials, much more effort should be made on the R-Strategy or R-ladder, with a focus on purchasing recycled material, repurposing parts and extending the lifespan through smarter design, repair and monitoring. This project proves that co-creation between grid operators, manufacturers, raw material suppliers and the processing industry can lead to concrete agreements and solutions towards a circular energy infrastructure. However, this does require a shared language, vision and strategy on circular networks that are in line with European principles and objectives. It is an honor to be part of this project with special thanks to Koen Eising and Guy de Sévaux as founding fathers,  Dominique Hermans as project partner and the steerco committee. I am looking forward to the upcoming Ksandr Live XL event, September 13 where the report will be presented and signed.
