NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Last week, the non-profit Energy Vision presented Leadership Awards to innovators in the biogas industry and related fields who are advancing food rescue, beneficial uses of organic waste, and methane emissions reduction. The winners are:
-
Divert, Inc.
,
a U.S. circular economy company whose nationwide infrastructure and innovative technologies rescue and distribute edible food and convert food “waste” to renewable natural gas (RNG) and organic fertilizer.
-
Cummins, Inc. makers of the X15N™, the first 15-liter compressed natural gas engine, designed to perform across a range of heavy-duty and long-haul trucking applications, which can be powered with RNG.
-
FedEx Freight, one of the largest national logistics providers, which is buying trucks equipped with the X15N™ for use in its fleets and fueling them with RNG.
-
EnviTec Biogas AG, a German-based global leader in the design, construction and operation of anaerobic digesters and gas upgrading equipment.
- Durwood Zaelke, founder/president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, a leading advocate for a binding global agreement to cut methane emissions to slow near-term global temperature rise.
“We’re getting close to working with 8,000 food retail stores, large food manufacturers, and distributors around the country,” said Chris Thomas, Divert VP of Public Affairs. Divert’s partners include Kroger, Albertsons, CVS, Blue Diamond Growers, United States Cold Storage and more. It has so far facilitated food donation equivalent to 14 million meals, and processed 3.3 billion pounds of non-donatable food. It plans to build 30 plants so they’re within 100 miles of 80% of the US population.
Cummins introduced its powerful 15-liter X15N™ natural gas engine last year. “[It] meets fleet operators’ needs for power, torque, range, sustainability and reliability in the heavy-duty market,” said David King, Cummins’ North American On-Highway Product Manager for Natural & Renewable Gas Engines. “[X15N™ trucks] can slip seamlessly into fleet operations with no compromises on performance.”
“Our longtime strategy at FedEx has been ‘right truck, right route, right fuel,'” said Joe Oleson, Managing Director of Fleet Maintenance, Support & Equipment for FedEx Freight. “The X15N™ promises to deliver all three.”
EnviTec has built more than 800 anaerobic digester and gas upgrader systems worldwide and owns/operates 91 of them, including some of the world’s most advanced. “Our flagship BioEnergie Park in Güstrow, Germany captures methane and makes RNG, and ultimately transforms agricultural residues into Bio-LNG, food-grade liquid CO2, and high-quality fertilizer,” said Lars von Lehmden, Managing Partner, EnviTec Biogas AG. “It demonstrates the full value chain at a single site and shows what circular economy looks like.”
Each of these strategies deeply cuts methane emissions, which Durwood Zaelke, founder and president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, called “The fastest way to turn down near-term warming. It’s the key to keeping the planet safe, at least in the near term. We have many promises and pledges, but it’s time to move to mandatory [methane] mitigation measures.”

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Episcopal Relief & Development has partnered with the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona to provide financial assistance to residents following deadly flooding in Globe, Arizona at the end of September.
Flash floods caused by heavy rains killed at least four people. Approximately 1,000 propane tanks were swept away from a distribution facility, creating hazardous conditions for the community. Officials have designated the downtown area unsafe, and many businesses are out of operation until further notice. The state of Arizona, relief agencies and volunteers have been present, working to provide needed support.
“The devastation and loss of life is substantial. The flood came through downtown on a busy Friday night while the restaurants were full,” said the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Reddall, Bishop of the Diocese of Arizona.
In partnership with the Diocese of Arizona, Episcopal Relief & Development is providing financial assistance to individuals temporarily unemployed due to business closures and working-class families affected by the flooding. St. John’s Episcopal Church in Globe, Arizona is serving as a central hub, a place for residents to come for social, emotional, and spiritual care and for assistance in finding additional aid for their recovery.
“We are saddened whenever any lives are lost, and we know that healing and recovery after this disaster will take time,” said Race Hodges, Program Officer, Episcopal Relief & Development. “We are proud to partner with the Diocese of Arizona and build upon the trust they’ve established with their community as we help families develop a sense of agency in their own recovery.”
Please pray for the communities affected by the Arizona flash flooding event. Donations to the US Disaster Fund will help our local partners respond to the needs caused by this disaster.
For over 80 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has worked with an extensive network of faith and community partners to advance lasting change in communities affected by injustice, poverty, disaster and climate change. Inspired by our faith, we reach over three million people each year by focusing on four interconnected priorities: nurturing the potential of caregivers and young children, reducing violence against women and girls, strengthening communities’ resilience to climate change and facilitating humanitarian response to disasters. Together with our partners, we leverage what’s working well to drive impact, learning and sustainability. Together, we create lasting change. Join us: www.episcopalrelief.org/sign-up

As part of its 75th anniversary in Latin America, New Holland Construction, a CNH brand, reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development in the region with the delivery of construction equipment to the municipality of Santa Cruz Island, in the Galapagos archipelago.
Among the machinery acquired by the municipality of Santa Cruz are the D180C tracked tractor, the B110C backhoe, the E215C hydraulic excavator and the L330 skid steer, manufactured in different plants in America, Europe and Asia. These stand out for the incorporation of state-of-the-art technology that allows operating with low noise level, lower fuel consumption and a significant reduction in emissions, adapting to the demanding environmental conditions of the island.
“New Holland’s presence in Galapagos symbolizes much more than a delivery of machinery: it is a concrete contribution to the responsible development of the island, accompanying its growth with solutions that respect nature and local identity,” said Rafael Ricciardi, Commercial Manager for Latin America. In addition, he added: “We are proud to be part of this new stage in Santa Cruz, promoting infrastructure and sustainable tourism.”
With a history of more than seven decades in the continent, New Holland Construction continues to offer solutions for every application and working condition, with reliable, easy-to-maintain equipment and high-performance, fuel-efficient engines. Its commitment is also reflected in the comfort and safety of the operator, fundamental pillars of its philosophy of responsible innovation.
