Black & Veatch has further expanded its contribution to global decarbonisation and the export of US renewable energy expertise through the appointment of Sean Tilley to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee (REEEAC).
Tilley is the company’s Global Technology Portfolio Manager for Renewable Energy within Black & Veatch’s Power Business. REEEAC is the U.S. Department of Commerce committee advising Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondon on the development and administration of programmes and policies to expand the export competitiveness of US renewable energy and energy efficiency products and services.
“Decarbonisation is highly skilled and technology led; a move away from the commoditisation of power engineering seen in recent years. This makes it an arena in which the US can have a strong presence,” said Mario Azar, President of Black & Veatch’s global power business. “As a global provider of decarbonisation solutions; with expert

In the piercing midday heat of southern Texas, farmhand Linda Villarreal moves methodically to weed row after row of parsley, rising only occasionally to stretch her achy back and nibble on sugary biscuits she keeps in her pockets. In the distance, a green and white border patrol truck drives along the levy beside the towering steel border wall.
For this backbreaking work, Villareal is paid $7.25 per hour, the federal minimum wage since 2009, with no benefits. She takes home between $300 and $400 a week depending on the amount of orders from the
bodegas â packaging warehouses which supply the countryâs supermarkets with fruits and vegetables harvested by crews of undocumented mostly Mexican farmworkers.

Leading The Way To Carbon-Free Generation, Long Ridge Energy Terminal To Add Hydrogen Fuel Capability
OVERLAND PARK, KAN. (BUSINESS WIRE)
With global energy solutions leader Black & Veatch as program manager, Ohio’s Long Ridge Energy Generation is retrofitting its 485-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant to run on a blend of natural gas and carbon-free hydrogen, making it the nation’s first large gas turbine plant to transition operations to hydrogen fuel.
Long Ridge is working to reconfigure the plant to use a mix of natural gas and hydrogen – a rising star in power generation – after it begins commercial operations in August 2021. As the first worldwide plant to blend hydrogen in a General Electric H-class gas turbine, the Hannibal, Ohio-based site initially will burn 5 percent hydrogen by volume in the natural gas stream. The program is outlining the changes necessary to transition entirely to using 100 percent green hydrogen – produced by electrolysis that separ
Thursday, Feb 04 2021 Share WASHINGTON, D.C. Today 175 solar companies, including some of the top solar manufacturers in the world, are announcing that they have signed a pledge opposing forced labor in the solar supply chain. By signing the pledge, companies are stating their commitment to help prevent these abhorrent practices and ensure that the products they are using do not have links to forced labor in the Xinjiang region of China, or anywhere else in the world. This pledge is part of an industry-wide effort led by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) that supports the development of a supply chain traceability protocol and a comprehensive update to SEIA’s Solar Commitment, which defines common practices and expectations for the solar industry.
