"Since 1968, CMTA, Inc. Inc. has been doing its part to bring energy-efficient engineering to American construction, now growing to a nationwide leader in decarbonized, healthy buildings. After our previous conversation in 2022, the company has taken a large step toward furthering its mission. Also in 2022, CMTA became part of a larger company called Legence, a Blackstone portfolio company as well as an energy-efficient construction business and sustainability solutions provider. Over the ensuing two years, CMTA has integrated itself into Legence more deeply and has adopted the identity of an energy transition accelerator™, meaning that the company is now an end-to-end solution for providing and facilitating changeover to sustainable energy. CMTA is now one of many companies under the Legence umbrella, and all parties within the group work to create the ultimate turnkey solution. Now, the business specializes in consulting, engineering, planning, and building with a huge cross-country network at its disposal. CMTA has been working in decarbonization and electrification for two decades now and has long been ahead of the curve in electrifying building systems and offsetting with renewable energy. CMTA Vice President Jess Farber says that decarbonization is a newer term and has to do with reducing and eliminating fossil fuels like natural gas or propane on site as well as during the construction process. Vice President Tony Hans says that, for most users, decarbonization typically focuses on what you buy (i.e. electricity and gasoline) and what you burn (i.e. natural gas), classified as scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency. ...

ICYMI: Developing a construction strategy with a clean energy focus Learn more here: https://bit.ly/43sCe3n

A great project for the area, and leading the world in the energy transition.

“The UK’s Industrial Clusters are a critical component in decarbonising to achieve our net zero ambitions. With the CBI and ECIU work revealing that the green growth economy grew by 9% in 2023, it is hugely encouraging to see the momentum behind the Teesside cluster’s net zero plans with the awarding of £4Bn of contracts associated with greening power production and capturing CO2 in the East Coast Cluster.” - CBI (Confederation of British Industry)'s John Foster.

Shell Energy and Shell published an important report on Decarbonising construction building a low carbon future industry The report focuses on “embodied carbon”, emissions coming from sourcing and producing materials, logistics, construction activities, maintenance, demolition, and waste management. These emissions are hard to abate and have gone relatively unnoticed as the sector focused its efforts on reducing the emissions coming from the operational phase. More and more construction companies have started to take commitments to decarbonize their activities, but the road ahead is not always clear. Download our report and check the 15 possible solutions the industry experts have identified for reducing carbon emissions, as well as the roadmap ahead for reaching net zero.

Do solar panels help construction professionals achieve better BREEAM results? Here's a little piece that discusses the topic.

Connecting the dots: AECOM discusses hydrogen project FIDs. By Charlie Currie Financial close and final investment decision (FID) are terms we’ve heard tossed about regularly across the hydrogen industry. Or more specifically, the difficulties faced for green hydrogen project developers in reaching the threshold. FID marks the stage in a project planning process where decisions to make a major financial investment is taken. In the context of large-scale projects of any kind, FID is typically reached before enabling the placing of major equipment orders or the signing of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts. The past year or so has seen an ever increasing shift away from the excitement of new and innovative technologies in hydrogen to a razor sharp focus on getting projects on the ground and getting moving towards the ever-desired hydrogen economy. https://lnkd.in/dp2yj8Qg
