ORLANDO, Fla., March 11, 2026 /3BL/ – A total of 120 new trees, over half of them bearing fruit, have taken root in an Orlando food desert, thanks to a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation, VoLo Foundation, and 4Roots.
The community forestry project, which began in November, officially wrapped up this week during a ceremonial planting on the first day of VoLo Foundation’s Climate Correction™ conference. The 2026 theme for the conference, Nature Powered Solutions, highlighted the power of nature and the innovations supporting natural systems.
“We believe trees bring people together to do great things and this project is an example of that. This is a long-term investment in both the nourishment and strength of this community that will continue to benefit families for many years to come,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “We’re grateful for the forward-thinking leadership of VoLo Foundation and 4Roots and their commitment to shaping a better future through trees.”
“Education and leadership are at the heart of VoLo Foundation. We empower children not just to lead in the future, but to take action today and create change right now,” said Thais Lopez Vogel, co-founder and trustee of VoLo Foundation.
In addition to addressing local food insecurity, the project also supported regenerative farming practices utilized by 4Roots. Regenerative farming involves restoring degraded soil to improve the health of the ecosystem.
“Planting trees is one of the most tangible and profound ways we can care for the place we call home. At 4Roots Farm, stewardship of the land isn’t a program — it’s a promise,” said John Rivers, Founder & CEO of 4Roots Farm. “We’re grateful to stand alongside Volo Foundation and the Arbor Day Foundation as we invest in the long-term health, beauty, and resilience of our region. These trees will outlive us. They will restore habitat, clean our air, cool our community, and remind future generations that when we care for the land, it cares for us right back.”
The project’s 120 new trees were planted at 4Roots Farm Campus and another five trees were distributed to local residents.
Zay Harding, host of the CBS series The Visioneers with Zay Harding, attended the tree planting ceremony. Produced by Hearst Media Production Group in exclusive partnership with VoLo Foundation, the show spotlights innovators delivering real-world environmental solutions. The series airs Saturday mornings on CBS as part of the CBS WKND block.

- Project Matador Holds the Only Active Combined Operating License Application Accepted by the NRC in More Than 15 Years — Greenlight by NRC to Break Ground Immediately
- Fermi America’s Nuclear Program Advances in Lockstep with President Trump’s Executive Orders to Restore American Nuclear Leadership
- Uzman Highlights Strategic Partnerships with Westinghouse, Hyundai E&C, and Doosan as Necessary to Lock Up Long Lead Time Assets and Deliver 4.4 GW of New Nuclear on Time, on Budget
AMARILLO, Texas, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (NASDAQ & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America™, in partnership with the Texas Tech University System (TTU System), today announced that Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Construction Officer of Fermi America, took the stage at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Regulatory Information Conference (NRC RIC 2026) in Rockville, Maryland — the nation’s premier annual forum where nuclear policy, regulation, and industry execution converge.
“We are answering the President’s call to jumpstart America’s nuclear renaissance,” said Mesut Uzman, Chief Nuclear Construction Officer of Fermi America. “The only site construction-ready today, we have secured the talent, the only active large nuclear power plant COL application in progress with the NRC, and the best global nuclear partners in Hyundai E&C and Doosan Enerbility, given their track record of building dozens of reactors successfully across the globe.”
“China is building 30+ reactors today,” added Fermi America CEO Toby Neugebauer. “Fermi did exactly what the President mandated at Fermi speed to jumpstart nuclear on American soil. Once the U.S. Government approves Project Matador for Korean investment under the recently approved Korean trade deal, we are the only site that will be ready to break ground on nuclear in 2026, a feat no one thought possible.”
Uzman represented the only project in America with a large-scale LWR combined license application accepted by the NRC in more than 15 years — and the only one ready to break ground. He joined an elite panel for the session “T4 Critical Links: Strengthening the Nuclear Supply Chain for Tomorrow’s Reactors,” sharing the floor with Mr. Matthew Vazquez, Senior Director of Standards and Certification at ASME; Mr. Rajwant Jolly, Manager of Quality at Bechtel Corporation; Mr. Sean Jones, Vice President of APX Supply Chain at Westinghouse; and Mr. HyeonSoo Kim, Director at Doosan Enerbility.
The composition of the panel speaks directly to Fermi America’s position at the center of America’s nuclear industrial base. Westinghouse and Doosan Enerbility are both strategic partners in Project Matador’s nuclear program. Their joint appearance alongside Fermi America at the NRC’s most prominent annual forum signals the depth and seriousness of the partnerships driving Project Matador forward.
In just nine months, Fermi America has assembled the partnerships, permits, personnel, and property to position Project Matador as the only nuclear project ready to deliver on President Trump’s executive orders to restore American nuclear leadership:
- Fermi America filed the first Combined Operating License (COLA) in more than 15 years, accepted by the NRC for review last September.
- Fermi America has secured a 99-year lease from the Texas Tech University System on property adjacent to Pantex — the Department of Energy facility that has stewarded America’s nuclear arsenal for 70 years.
- Fermi has retained the world’s leading nuclear construction experts, a team, including Uzman, with a combined track record of 16 reactors successfully built on time and on budget across the globe.
- Fermi has partnered with Westinghouse, Hyundai E&C, and Doosan — forging the international ties required to lock up long lead time assets necessary to deliver on the President’s executive orders.
- Hyundai E&C has committed to providing Fermi America favorable contract terms for AP1000 reactor construction at Project Matador, consistent with the proven performance of their domestic Korean nuclear builds and the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant successfully delivered in the UAE. Fermi has launched its FEED study, with a proposal to break ground on 4.4 GW of nuclear construction at Project Matador on July 4th — with the President.
- The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has granted final approval of the nation’s second largest Clean Air Permit, covering 6 GW of clean natural gas power generation at the 11 GW campus as a bridge to nuclear power.
- Korea’s leading nuclear industrial champions — Hyundai E&C and Doosan Enerbility — have entered into formal contractual relationships with Fermi America and have designated Project Matador as a top priority within their U.S. nuclear portfolios, bringing decades of proven reactor construction expertise to America’s most advanced nuclear build.
Project Matador is designed to answer the nation’s call at a pivotal moment. As AI infrastructure, semiconductor fabrication, advanced manufacturing, and defense modernization drive an unprecedented surge in electricity demand, America needs gigawatt-scale, reliable, clean power that the public grid was never designed to deliver. Project Matador’s 11 GW behind-the-meter private power grid — combining natural gas, AP1000 nuclear, solar, and battery storage — is built to meet that demand without burdening ratepayers or straining the public grid.
Uzman underscored the critical role of international partnerships in delivering Project Matador on schedule. “We cannot achieve this epic goal by ourselves,” Uzman said. “We are working with Doosan, Hyundai E&C, and Westinghouse — and Hyundai has been involved in the construction of 18-plus nuclear reactors in recent decades without liquidated damages. That is an unmatched global track record.”
Fermi America’s nuclear program advances in direct alignment with President Trump’s executive orders to accelerate domestic nuclear deployment, restore American nuclear manufacturing, and ensure the United States wins the AI and energy race with China.

The joint venture will demonstrate H2Pro’s DWE technological ability to operate directly on solar-pv renewable power; scaling from an initial 5 MW system toward a 50 MW RFNBO facility
SEVILLE, Spain, CAESAREA, Israel and RAMAT GAN, Israel, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — H2Pro and Doral Hydrogen announced today the signing of an agreement during the European Hydrogen Energy Conference (EHEC) to co-develop a solar-powered hydrogen production project in Extremadura, Spain. The project is expected to be the first ever to produce hydrogen entirely from off-grid solar power for blending into the existing natural gas pipeline operated by Enagás. At a later stage, the hydrogen produced on site will be injected directly into the H2Med hydrogen backbone, which will run through this location.
The project will begin with a 5 MW DWE (Decoupled Water Electrolysis) electrolyzer connected directly (DC-to-DC) to 10 MWp of solar generation. Future phases will expand the facility to 50 MW of electrolysis and up to 80 MWp of solar capacity. The system is designed to operate fully off-grid, producing hydrogen powered entirely by solar energy and meeting the strictest RFNBO requirements.
While green hydrogen remains a critical component of many national strategies for both energy resilience and decarbonization, scaling production is at an impasse because LCOH remains prohibitively high, even as LCOE from renewables continues to plummet. The core issue is that conventional electrolyzers were not built to consume cheap renewable electricity. These systems were designed for steady baseload power, not volatility. To avoid serious membrane and system degradation, dangerous gas crossover, and low efficiencies at partial loads, they are forced to rely on expensive battery or grid backup, resulting in tremendous costs from electricity consumption.
H2Pro’s Decoupled Water Electrolysis technology was designed specifically for volatility and off-grid operation, exactly where conventional systems struggle. By separating hydrogen and oxygen production in time rather than generating them simultaneously using a membrane, DWE unlocks hyper-flexible operation. Unlike incumbent technology, the DWE system can be turned on and off unlimited times without the degradation penalties associated with conventional electrolysis. It also operates with superior efficiency across a wide load range and can ramp up and down rapidly, adjusting production levels in real time. As a result, the technology is uniquely suited to volatile energy inputs and allows hydrogen production to follow the natural generation profile of the sun or wind.
“This project will demonstrate how hydrogen production can be designed from the outset to operate directly on renewable energy,” said Tzahi Rodrig, CEO of H2Pro. “The ability to operate on intermittent renewable power, with endless on and off cycles and high efficiency at partial loads, is critical to unlocking lower-cost green hydrogen. By combining Doral Hydrogen’s renewable development expertise with our DWE technology, we aim to demonstrate a new model for economically and technically viable fully off-grid hydrogen production.”
“From a developer’s perspective, the ability to produce Green hydrogen without relying on grid electricity is a significant breakthrough,” said Yam Efrati, CEO of Doral Hydrogen. “Systems that can operate directly on renewable power simplify project design and reduce the need for costly batteries or grid backup. This can materially improve project economics.”
He continued, “Doral Hydrogen is developing 1 GW of green hydrogen projects worldwide, with a particular focus on Iberia. We are excited to work with H2Pro to demonstrate how renewable energy can integrate into existing energy infrastructure until future H2Med pipelines are built, and to ultimately replicate this model throughout our global portfolio.”
The choice of Extremadura, Spain as the project location is strategic. Spain is emerging as a key region for renewable hydrogen development in Europe. The country benefits from strong renewable resources, rapidly expanding solar deployment, and supportive hydrogen strategies at both national and European levels. Extremadura is one of the highest solar irradiation regions in Europe and offers favorable conditions for large-scale renewable energy projects.
Hydrogen produced at the facility will be blended into the Spanish gas network operated by Enagás, providing a near-term pathway for hydrogen integration without requiring dedicated hydrogen transport infrastructure. The Iberian Peninsula is also expected to play an important role in future European hydrogen supply through H2Med.
Amid constantly shifting geopolitical realities and fluctuating gas prices, hydrogen is increasingly seen as an essential vector for local energy resilience and independence. Affordable green hydrogen is also a key component of any viable clean energy system, as a complement to renewable electricity supporting grid balancing and long-duration energy storage, and as a tool for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industry. H2Pro is dedicated to bringing down the cost of hydrogen through its technology purpose-built for the volatility of renewables.
