Fisker Affirms Commitment to Renewable Energy Use With European Public Charging Partner Allego

businesswire | May 22, 2023

Fisker Inc. driven by a mission to create the world's most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles, reaffirms its commitment to sustainability through its renewable-energy charging partnership with Allego B.V. ("Allego"). Fisker Ocean drivers can charge their EVs with 100 percent renewable energy in Europe through Fisker's partnership with Allego. Recognizing that use of renewable energy significantly reduces CO2 footprint over a vehicle's lifetime, Fisker prioritizes "green charging" operators that power their public charging networks with renewable energy. Preferred energy sources are: Solar, Wind, Hydro (small hydro preferred), Geothermal, Ocean movement, Hydrogen and Biomass (from renewable feedstock). By using green charging, Fisker estimates a 40% or more reduction in CO2 footprint during an EV's use phase1. "Charging matters: it's a significant part of an EV's carbon footprint over its life cycle. Customers are placing greater importance on the sources of electricity they use to charge their EVs, and Fisker will continue to lead the industry in ESG practices and give customers the most sustainable choices," Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said. “We challenge brands in all industries to do the same to help provide a clean future for all." Fisker partners with Allego, a leading pan-European EV charging network, to provide Fisker Ocean drivers in Europe easy access to renewable-energy charging at all Allego charge points. Every kWh supplied by Allego's charging stations is 100 percent renewable, certified by Guarantee of Origin Certificates (GOs). Through its energy platform, Allego powers its chargers with renewables generated from wind or PV (photovoltaic) farms with long term power purchase agreements. Using the Fisker Ocean's navigation system and the FISKER FLEXSM Charge app, drivers can seamlessly locate Allego stations and access one year of free charging2 at over 27,000 eligible charging ports. Fisker's focus on green charging in an EV's use phase is just one aspect of Fisker's overall commitment to sustainability across all phases of a vehicle's life cycle: upstream sourcing of materials, manufacturing, inbound/outbound logistics, use phase, and end of use/recycling. Aligning with Fisker's commitment to transparency, the company will publish the Ocean Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) later this spring. To learn more about Fisker’s commitment to ESG, find our ESG Impact report at www.fiskerinc.com/esg-2021. The Fisker Ocean, Fisker's ground-breaking all-electric SUV, is available in Extreme, Ultra, and Sport, with the limited edition Fisker Ocean One entirely sold out.

Braya Renewable Fuels Issues Letter of Support to ABO Wind

Braya Renewable Fuels LP | March 13, 2023

Braya Renewable Fuels LP, an oil and gas company, has recently issued an exclusive letter of support to ABO Wind company for the joint development of green hydrogen production. It would promote ABO Wind's project proposal in 'Crown Land Call for Bids for Wind Energy Projects,' an initiative of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. In November 2022, it issued a request for proposals of about 35,000 metric tons of green hydrogen production annually, which is needed for its advanced biofuel refinery. It recognized its requirement for large quantity hydrogen and unique access to deep water logistic assets. It has also invited respondents to submit proposals for large-scale production of green hydrogen and ammonia that would satisfy the needs of the global marketplace. ABO Wind proposed an integrated project providing green hydrogen to fulfill Braya's requirement and green ammonia for export worldwide, and Braya issued a non-binding letter of support to ABO Wind's project. It believes in the success of the project in the competitive process. CEO of Braya Renewable Fuels, Frank Almaraz said, "Of the many strong proposals we received from around the world, we have selected ABO Wind for its demonstrated ability to manage large scale infrastructure developments, its significant experience in developing renewable energy projects, and our shared vision of producing green hydrogen and green ammonia to serve global markets." He added, "We are confident that together with ABO Wind, we can build on the tremendous momentum at our Come By Chance refinery."

Mouser Electronics Shines Spotlight on Green Energy Storage Systems in Season Launch of Empowering Innovation Together

businesswire | April 24, 2023

Mouser Electronics Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, kicks off an enlightening new season of the award-winning Empowering Innovation Together™ (EIT) content series on green energy storage, days before Earth Day 2023. The kickoff installment focuses on the need, potential and future of energy storage systems, as well as their many components and battery chemistries. While industry experts estimate that wind and solar currently provide 20 percent of energy generated in the United States, renewables are not yet a consistent source of energy and require energy storage systems to make power available on-demand. This EIT content series dives into trends in energy capture vs storage and how solar energy gets to batteries. It also highlights how engineers can select the right components for their designs in the sustainable storage arena. Kicking off the discussion is The Tech Between Us, EIT's popular podcast, hosted by Mouser Director of Technical Content, Raymond Yin. In the first of three green energy storage related podcasts, Yin welcomes Dr. Imre Gyuk, Director of Energy Storage Research, U.S. Department of Energy for an informative conversation on the global importance of capturing and storing renewable energy to ensure a connected grid system with long-term, sustainable power. The discussion is timely, as this year's Earth Day (Saturday, April 22) centers around the theme of "Invest in our Planet" and looks at what companies have done to further sustainability initiatives.
