SÃO PAULO, January 25, 2024 /3BL/ – In a significant step towards sustainable maritime operations, DP World welcomed the CMA CGM BAHIA, a container vessel powered liquefied natural gas (LNG), into the Port of Santos, Brazil, on January 22, 2024. This marks the first arrival of a container vessel fuelled by LNG at the port, heralding a new era of eco-friendly maritime transport.

The CMA CGM BAHIA, boasting a length of 336 meters and a capacity of over 13,000 TEUs, began its voyage in Singapore on December 28, 2023, berthing at the Port of Rio de Janeiro before making a stop at the Port of Santos. The vessel’s journey includes several stops across Brazilian ports, before returning to Santos on its return journey to Singapore.

Vessels powered by LNG are gaining recognition for their lower greenhouse gas emissions, making them a more sustainable option in maritime transport. Emitting 40% less CO² than coal and 30% less than oil, LNG is considered to be a sustainable alternative fuel for maritime operations.

DP World, with its commitment to reducing carbon emissions, views the arrival of the CMA CGM BAHIA as a key milestone. Rodrigo Gomes, Commercial Manager at DP World Brazil, said: “Welcoming an LNG-powered vessel that generates fewer CO² emissions aligns perfectly with our global efforts to reduce carbon footprints.” He noted that 2024 will see a rise in similar eco-friendly vessels at the port, reflecting the maritime industry’s commitment to forging a more sustainable future in global logistics.

Sustainability Beyond Shipping

In addition to pioneering sustainable shipping practices, DP World is also focusing on greening its internal operations. In 2023, the company embarked on increasing its use of renewable energy through the electrification of its RTGs (rubber-tired gantry cranes) at the Port of Santos. This project, aimed at converting 22 cranes by 2024, involves a cable system for drawing power from overhead lines. This transition is expected to slash the terminal’s diesel consumption by up to 60%, further cementing DP World’s position as a leader in sustainable port operations.

The company is also embarking upon a pilot project to test hydrogen-powered RTGs at Canada’s Port of Vancouver. A clean and efficient fuel, hydrogen is a proven technology and a viable choice for powering heavy-duty machinery. Slated to kick off in Q2 2024, the hydrogen pilot will gauge the feasibility of electrifying DP World’s global fleet of 1,500 RTGs.

Listen to Derly’s story above and hear the details about how the Koch Accounting Apprenticeship Program helped remove barriers and provide an opportunity to find and develop his talents and skills. Follow “Koch News” on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or Spotify to hear more Koch audio stories.

The Koch Accounting Apprenticeship Program aims to remove barriers for contribution-motivated individuals and provide them with an opportunity to apply their gifts and talents to benefit themselves and society. 

“We’ve realized that we were leaving a lot of people on the sidelines,” says Koch’s Chief Financial Officer Richard Dinkel.

The program, which is now available in Wichita, Atlanta and Dallas, is a collaboration between Koch, WSU Tech and Wichita State University. During the first six months of the accelerated 18-month program, Koch covers the educational expenses for students to learn accounting and tax fundamentals through classwork at WSU Tech. After that, students will be given an opportunity for paid employment with Koch working alongside accountants and tax professionals while finishing their remaining coursework.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for somebody to come in and understand whether or not they have the sort of natural curiosity, aptitudes and ability to be a good professional accountant, but they can do it in a much quicker timeframe,” Richard says.

For 33-year-old Derly Apaza, the program was exactly what he needed to prepare for and find the kind of work he was passionate about.

Derly tried going to college right after high school, but it just wasn’t for him. He loved to learn, but staying on top of homework assignments and traveling to and from the local community college he attended wasn’t enjoyable. So, he stopped going and got a job instead. For a while, life was great.

Eventually, he took a job working at a local health clinic. His curiosity and desire to learn drove him to work his way into the billing and coding departments. He learned that not only did he like working with numbers but he was pretty good at it, too. He wanted to keep learning more and take on a greater responsibility within the clinic’s accounting department, but discovered without more formal education, he’d hit a ceiling, and the clinic wasn’t interested in giving him the kind of jobs he really wanted.

That’s when he discovered Koch’s new Accounting Apprenticeship Program, which launched in late 2021. Rather than looking for degrees and certificates, Koch was looking for people who are willing to ask questions and solve problems, who are energized by continuously trying to improve, and who are willing to learn and help others along the way.

Derly applied for the program and was accepted. He says he never would have felt qualified enough to just apply for a job at Koch, but the program removed that barrier. He can now see a bright future here.

Continuous Development

Even though Derly arrived with a lot of skills and talent, his supervisor, Kate Smith, has continued to work with him to grow his knowledge and skills. Kate built her relationship with Derly through open and honest communication and by setting clear expectations. This included many conversations with Derly about what he’s good at, what he isn’t and what he does and doesn’t like.

“If we have an expectation for everyone to be a lifelong learner and a principled entrepreneur,” Kate says, “then we have to expect that they’re not going to know everything at first. But that if they’re willing to learn and are contribution motivated, they’ll be able to reach that next level of knowledge or expertise.”

By creating the Koch Accounting Apprenticeship Program and removing barriers, Koch hopes to find many more Derlys out there and give them an opportunity to apply their often overlooked gifts and talents to benefit themselves and society – and hopefully inspire other companies and institutions to do the same.

“Perhaps we don’t have the education,” Derly says. “But we have the knowledge and skills and we are capable of doing a lot of jobs that typically might not be open for somebody without a degree.”

Schneider Electric

/3BL/ – Schneider Electric™, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced its participation in the DCs for Bees initiative, in association with Host In Ireland, for the third successive year.

The “Orchards in the Community” initiative accompanies Schneider Electric’s commitment to the DCs for Bees Pollinator Plan, a collective plan of action led by Host In Ireland and executed by 48 partners from across the data centre industry. It aims to save Ireland’s declining bee population and ensure its survival for future generations, along with other endangered species such as flying insects and butterflies.

To help protect bees, increase pollination, and support biodiversity, Schneider Electric is part of 73 companies that have pledged to contribute to the planting of over 3587 mixed fruit orchards across the country of Ireland. As part of the programme, 222 schools and colleges and 171 community groups from tidy towns, retirement homes, community centres, and local sports facilities have received and planted orchards in their communities.

Today these orchards provide vital green spaces in Ireland’s cities and towns and with 33% of the countries 99 wild bee species at risk of extinction, the new orchards will provide bees and other biodiverse creatures with vital food as they struggle when emerging from winter.

During the partnership, Schneider Electric has sponsored a total of 500 orchards equating to 2500 trees over the course of three planting years. In 2023 they have sponsored a further 100 orchards consisting of 3 apple trees, a plum tree, and a pear tree in each orchard. 34 orchards have been taken by employees and 66 orchards went to communities who had signed up for the initiative.

Communities who have benefited from the biodiversity benefits of the orchards include Kilmaine Tidy Towns, Monivea Tidy Towns, Gorey Community Schools, Abbeyleix Tidy Towns, Oaktree Court Residence Association, Dromahair Tidy Towns, Holy rosary College and Sustainable Community Area Network Milltown.

“Orchards are a focal point for communities to connect people with nature. Growing orchards in the community helps raise awareness of our connection to our food sources and play an important role in biodiversity and the plight of bees in Ireland,” said Garry Connolly, founder, Host in Ireland. “That spirit of community is alive and well with ‘Orchards in the Community’ as organisations like Schneider Electric come together with biodiversity groups, schools, colleges, Tidy Towns and others across Ireland to tackle challenges like biodiversity loss to save Ireland’s pollinators.”

“We’re proud to once again be partnering with Host Ireland and sponsoring the Orchards in the Community initiative and increase our support for its leading sustainability initiative” said Mark Yeeles, VP, Secure Power Division, Schneider Electric UK and Ireland “Driving sustainable change which can be seen within the community is at the heart of our organisation, and we hope the orchards will create holistic ecosystems which will be beneficial for many years and generations to come”.

If you don’t know what an F-gas is, you are not alone. However, I guarantee you rely on them daily.

F-gases and fluids are fluorinated technologies that manage temperature across a range of applications, from air conditioners, heat pumps and food storage and preservation, to medical devices, electronics, and even transportation and electric vehicles. Innovative F-gases called hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) offer low global warming potential (GWP)—a metric used to compare the “heat trapping” impacts of different gases—and superior performance across climates and applications.

Today, the impacts of climate change demand swift action to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We need technologies that maximize efficiency—of both resources and energy—to realize circularity and decarbonization without derailing value chains, market innovation and the economy at large. F-gases sit at the intersection of performance and sustainability, which is why the world needs F-gases now more than ever.

F-gases enable a circular economy 

The United Nations defines a circular economy as a sustainable economic model “in which products and materials…can be reused, remanufactured, recycled, or recovered…and thus maintained in the economy for as long as possible.”1 Circularity is critical to achieving international climate goals and should be a key objective for industry in the effort to accelerate the green transition.

What many don’t realize is that F-gases are critical to advancing circularity across every industry they touch—automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, chemical and the cold chain. Unlike many so-called “natural” alternatives, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and propane, F-gases can be recovered, reclaimed and reused today, maximizing resource efficiency, creating less waste, generating lower emissions and taking critical steps toward a circular economy.

F-gases will accelerate decarbonization

Electric vehicles, heat pumps and other solutions are recognized globally as drivers of the green transition, and all these drivers depend on F-gases.

Boasting superior energy efficiency, systems optimized with F-gases can achieve double digit energy savings when compared to alternatives.2 The full benefits of F-gases are just starting to be realized. For example, there is a new, low-GWP fluorinated technology pending regulatory approval for use in data centers—called two-phase immersion cooling—that can help dramatically reduce energy and water use, while supporting faster computing and data transmission. Compared to traditional cooling systems, this two-phase immersion cooling technology could reduce data center cooling energy use by more than 90 percent, translating to 340 Twh in global energy savings by 2055. That’s equivalent to powering more than 517 million laptops all day, every day.

F-gases drive socioeconomic value

Vital industries and applications rely on innovative F-gas products to operate at peak performance. Looking at the transportation industry as an example, F-gases play a critical role in heating and cooling the cabin, but also enabling current and future performance improvements, such as battery cooling, extended driving ranges, faster charging and weight reduction, all while reducing total vehicle emissions.

F-gases deliver key economic and societal benefits. Indeed, in 2021, fluorinated products and related industries helped contribute approximately 6.2 million jobs, $560 billion in labor income, and more than $1 trillion towards U.S. GDP, according to one recent report.3 Threatening access to these chemistries, including F-gases, put these immense economic benefits at risk.

F-gases are reliable—they have undergone rigorous, data-intensive regulatory approval processes and are considered safe for their intended uses. As an example, commercially available and proven HFOs are about four times less likely to form flammable concentrations during an accidental leak than highly flammable (A3) alternatives. They are also far more difficult to ignite, requiring approximately 2,000 times more energy to ignite commonly used HFO blends versus propane.4

Most F-gas alternatives—including CO2, propane, and other so-called “naturals” — are not natural, new, universal or risk-free. These industrial gases were adopted more than a century ago and broadly abandoned for good reason. They pose real risks—from high working pressures and corrosion to flammability—and are plagued by performance limitations, increased maintenance and system costs, and value chain instability. This means that without F-gases, many of the critical innovations and industries we take for granted could be brought to a halt.

The world needs innovation and F-gases

The green transition can’t wait, and it must be accelerated without compromising circularity, decarbonization or socioeconomic value. Fortunately, continued innovation in the F-gas industry, coupled with a smart regulatory roadmap, can help us achieve all of these objectives.

The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, enacted in 2020 to minimize the environmental impact of F-gases, is a prime example. In addition to providing a roadmap for phasing down high GWP hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) technology, the AIM Act is also encouraging industry to maximize reclaim, minimize releases and accelerate the transition to next-generation technology. This type of clear policy framework—paired with effective implementation—can and will help catalyze innovation, which is something that should be encouraged, rather than thwarted.

The reality is so-called “natural” alternatives simply cannot deliver the innovation required to tackle both climate and performance challenges. If we want to advance decarbonization, circularity and socioeconomic value, then the world—and America—needs F-gases.
