Where is the circular economy going in 2019?
Circularity isn’t just another sustainability
framework — it’s a radically different way of doing business. It’s an emerging business
strategy that enables companies and organizations to innovate in ways that address resource scarcity and climate risk, respond to consumer and societal pressure to reduce waste, and unlock a $4.5 trillion economic opportunity.
In this one-hour webcast, join Lauren Phipps, GreenBiz Group’s Circular Economy Director &
Senior Analyst, and a lineup of influential corporate and nonprofit leaders, for a conversation about the key trends and metrics in the circular economy, and to answer your questions.
Among the things you’ll learn:
- The latest business strategies incorporating circular thinking
- The pre-competitive partnerships and collaborations accelerating circularity
- Key trends in reusability, material health, reverse logistics and other topics
- The latest developments in single-use plastic packaging and alternative materials
Free Download: By registering for this webcast you will be the first to receive GreenBiz Insights: Circular Economy Trends. This collection of articles, information and analysis will keep you up to date on leveraging opportunities in the circular economy to advance your sustainability strategy and grow your business. A link to this PDF download will be provided after the webcast on May 1, 2019.
Massachusetts is the first state to integrate energy storage technologies into its energy efficiency plan.
Solar PV and battery storage (solar+storage) technologies that provide clean, reliable backup power are cost-effective for many critical community facilities in the Southeast, according to Clean Energy Group’s forthcoming “Resilient Southeast” report series.
The report series details a first-of-its-kind economic analysis and landscape review for solar+storage in the region. In some cases, solar+storage was found to be a positive investment based on electric bill savings alone, and, when the value of resilience is accounted for, the technologies were found to make economic sense for all cases evaluated.
In this webinar, Clean Energy Group will be joined by regional partners to discuss the findings of the report and how the results impact efforts underway in the Southeast. There will be time to address questions from the audience. Register here.
New Report: Energy Storage: The New Efficiency ― How States Can Use Efficiency Funds to Support Battery Storage and Flatten Costly Demand Peaks
Clean Energy Group has prepared a report describing the process of enabling use of state energy efficiency funds to support the deployment of energy storage with performance incentives offered for demand reduction. This groundbreaking action was supported with original economic analysis by the Applied Economics Clinic, under contract to Clean Energy Group.
Massachusetts, a national leader in energy efficiency, has incorporated energy storage as an active demand reduction measure in its 2019-2021 energy efficiency plan. This report explains the steps Massachusetts took to become the first state to integrate energy storage technologies into its energy efficiency plan. Keep reading here.
