CNH brand, New Holland, presented the complete renewal of its line of CR harvesters at the 30th edition of Agrishow in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.

The brand also showcased its automation based on artificial intelligence technology, in addition to making the CR11 – the world’s largest twin-rotor harvester – commercially available in Brazil.

CR Line

Included connectivity is standard on the CR range, ensuring that the machines support all connectivity features. Customers will be able to transfer data, use remote support, process agronomic data, and connect to FieldOps, New Holland’s farm management application, at no recurring cost.

FieldOps is a standout feature of its harvesters. The double rotor provides a better separation between pod and grain, avoiding straw accumulation, which ensures better grain quality, less mechanical damage and less dirt in the grain tank.

In addition, it allows a better use of the cleaning system with the uniform distribution of the material over the tray area and sieves, reducing losses. It also ensures better straw quality and greater threshing speed, increasing harvesting productivity, among other benefits.

CR11

Unveiled at Agritechnica 2023, the CR11 is the next generation of New Holland’s flagship line of harvesters.

It is the largest twin-rotor harvester ever manufactured and has been redesigned to provide higher productivity, with minimal grain loss, better waste management and greater automation. These resources aim to reduce the total cost of harvesting grain.

The machine also has the new TwinClean system, which incorporates several solutions to increase cleaning capacity and minimize losses. There are two sieve systems in sequence, each with top and bottom sieve and clean grain auger, based on a larger step grain tray up to the first top sieve.The high-power fan ensures efficient airflow.

DALLAS, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dent Mechanic Group (DMG), the Dallas-Fort Worth leader in paintless dent repair, today announced the continuation of its partnership with Hearts & Hammers, a local nonprofit dedicated to restoring homes for seniors, veterans, and neighbors in need.

We’re honored to play a part in making Dallas a better place for everyone.”

Last year, the entire DMG team helped renovate the home of Mary, an 82-year-old South Dallas resident and longtime member of her neighborhood. The team closed their Dallas-based shop and painted, fixed siding, cleaned up the yard, and made general repairs to transform the house into a safer, more comfortable home.

“Our mission is to make things easier for people, whether through hassle-free dent repair or by lending a hand to those who need it most,” Spaeth added. “These projects remind us that we can create real change together. We look forward to building on this momentum with our next Hearts & Hammers project this fall.”

DMG’s partnership with Hearts & Hammers reflects the company’s belief that business success means positively impacting people and neighborhoods. The company’s core values of integrity, honor, and service have demonstrated how local businesses can create meaningful change by dedicating time and energy to their communities.

“At DMG, we believe our responsibility extends beyond repairing cars; we’re here to help restore lives and strengthen our community,” said Daniel Spaeth, Owner and CEO of Dent Mechanic Group. “Partnering with Hearts & Hammers allows our team to give back in a direct, meaningful way, and we feel honored to play a small part in making Dallas a better place for everyone.”

DMG’s business philosophy weaves community engagement into prioritizing customer experience, teamwork, and a relentless service drive.

In recognition for its impactful product donation program with Good360, Bath & Body Works recently earned a Top Project of the Year award from the Environment + Energy Leader Product and Project Awards. This award recognizes projects making meaningful contributions to a more sustainable and responsible business landscape.

For over a decade, the E+E Leader Product & Project Awards have recognized excellence in products, services, and corporate initiatives that drive energy and environmental improvements.

This year’s judges selected Bath & Body Works for successfully diverting nearly half a million pounds of product from landfills while positively affecting the environment and communities. They also noted how the brand demonstrated how businesses can drive sustainable change through thoughtful, employee-driven solutions.

In 2023, Bath & Body Works partnered with Good360, an organization that connects communities in crisis with essential goods and helps companies responsibly redistribute excess inventory. The two launched a pilot donation program that took unsold items marked-out-of-stock from Bath & Body Works stores and donated them to communities in need.

Last year, Bath & Body works donated 1.3 million+ personal care and home fragrance items to Good360 for shelters, food banks and disaster recovery.

“This recognition is not just a celebration of our progress on our environmental impact; it’s also an example of the good that can happen when we work together to shape a resilient and responsible future,” says Jeff King, Group Vice President, Head of ESG at Bath & Body Works. “We’re incredibly proud of all the good work we’ve been able to achieve through this partnership.

Given the changing dynamics in the global energy market, how businesses access and consume energy can be complicated. Geopolitical conditions, regulatory pressures, and market demand can create scenarios that can affect business operating costs and stability.

One option that many businesses are evaluating is the adoption of renewable energy sources, with potential benefits ranging from brand enhancement to cost resilience. While renewables may not be the right fit for every organization, understanding the available incentives and market drivers can help inform strategic energy decisions.

To better understand today’s energy landscape, it’s helpful to explore how renewable energy incentives have developed over time, and what they might offer businesses evaluating their energy strategies.

This blog provides an overview of key financial opportunities and operational considerations, including tax breaks, long-term cost savings, and potential brand positioning benefits, to support informed decision-making about renewable energy investments.

Understanding Renewable Energy Incentives and Their Evolution 

The global push towards renewable energy has prompted governments worldwide to introduce incentives that support businesses in adopting sustainable energy sources. Tax credits, grants, and rebates have become instrumental in making renewable energy more accessible and financially feasible for organizations of all sizes.

The origins of incentive programs 

The groundwork for renewable energy incentives began in the 1970s, as the oil crisis steered the conversation toward the need for energy alternatives. The 1978 Energy Tax Act in the U.S. was a foundational policy that introduced tax credits for solar and wind investments. Meanwhile, in Europe, countries like Germany and Denmark launched Feed-in Tariff (FIT) programs in the 1990s, offering businesses fixed payments for renewable energy production. These FIT programs provided a reliable revenue stream, encouraging companies to invest in solar and wind technologies by guaranteeing consistent returns.

These early initiatives helped build the foundation for the renewable energy market by making adoption more financially attractive, sparking a ripple effect of innovation and further investment worldwide.

How incentives have evolved over time 

As global awareness of climate change has grown, renewable energy incentives have been adapted to drive adoption at scale, supporting a range of technologies beyond solar and wind, and aligning with global climate agreements like the Paris Accord.

Key examples of today’s expanded incentives include:

Today, businesses have access to a broad spectrum of tax breaks, grants, and credits that reduce the initial costs of renewable energy adoption. These include federal incentives, state and local programs, and international initiatives, making renewable energy projects more financially accessible and appealing.

Key Takeaways 

The landscape of renewable energy incentives has evolved significantly over the past several decades, offering businesses a range of opportunities to explore sustainable energy sources. While each organization’s path to renewable energy adoption may differ based on operational needs, market conditions, and regulatory environments, understanding the financial tools available—such as tax credits, grants, and rebates—can support informed decision-making.

As energy markets continue to shift, staying aware of evolving policies and incentives can help businesses assess whether renewable energy aligns with their broader strategic goals. Whether the priority is cost management, risk mitigation, or contributing to broader sustainability objectives, having a clear view of available resources ensures that companies are well-positioned to evaluate all their energy options.
