ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — To strengthen communities across Florida as the nation approaches its 250^th anniversary, the Duke Energy Foundation is awarding $22,500 to five nonprofit organizations through its America250 initiative. The grants are part of a first‑round investment totaling more than $250,000 across the company’s six‑state service area.

High-impact investments:

• The Citizens of Gulf County Recovery Team is preserving affordable housing for Gulf County residents. On 10 lots donated by the Gulf County Board of County Commissioners, the organization is building homes that, while valued at $450,000, will be offered to eligible buyers – prioritizing county and city employees, first responders, health care workers and educators – with a mortgage of approximately $250,000 (considering the donated lot and other subsidies). The $5,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation will help offset the cost of purchasing energy efficient appliances for each home.
• With $5,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation, the Foundation for Parks & Recreation Community Support will build an ADA-compliant dune walkover boardwalk at Sunset Park in Mexico Beach. The boardwalk will provide safe, sustainable access over the existing dune system, allowing both local residents and visitors with mobility challenges to reach the shoreline without impacting the dunes’ integrity or role as a natural storm buffer. 
   
• The Jefferson County Historical Association will use $5,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation to transform the City of Monticello into a “living celebration of American independence” leading up to and on the Fourth of July. The observance will include a Tribute to the Troops concert, a fireworks display and other immersive, multi-generational activities.
• A $2,500 award from the Duke Energy Foundation will allow Keep Alachua County Beautiful to participate in the nation’s largest community improvement program, the Great American Cleanup. Conducted over a two-month period from April through May, the program will mobilize volunteers to clean public spaces, address illegal dumping and promote greater awareness around waste reduction and responsible disposal.
• The All Veterans Center in Polk County will provide nearly 1,000 hot meals for veterans and their families at two separate events, one in the spring and another at the end of the year, using $5,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation to purchase food.

Positive response:

• Kathy Gilbert, Citizens of Gulf County Recovery Team executive director: “We are grateful for Duke Energy’s support. Safe and affordable housing for our citizens takes commitment from the public, corporate and government sectors. It lies at the core of a healthy, sustainable community. Duke Energy knows that and their generosity means a great deal to a great many.”
• Kimberly Shoaf, Foundation for Parks & Recreation Community Support vice president: “The partnership between Duke Energy and PARCs to assist in providing an ADA-compliant walkover in Mexico Beach is a testament to strong community support. We appreciate Duke Energy’s continued investment in the communities they serve and their role in helping create accessibility for all.”
• Claudette McRae, Jefferson County Historical Association treasurer: “Jefferson County enthusiastically anticipates partnering with Duke Energy to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary. Duke Energy has always been a leader in our county and played an active role in its future growth.”
• Carlos Gonzalez, Keep Alachua County Beautiful executive director: “This investment directly strengthens our effort to build neighborhood pride, reduce blight and encourage long-term stewardship throughout Alachua County. We are truly grateful for Duke Energy’s partnership and thank them for believing in our mission to create cleaner, greener and more vibrant communities.”
• Harvey R. Engle, All Veterans Center chief operating officer: “We are afforded opportunities to provide special activities for our veterans through the kindness and generosity of community minded businesses such as Duke Energy. Thank you, Duke Energy, for your support and desire to be a part of our veteran care process.”

More to come:

These grants represent the first announced awards under the Duke Energy Foundation’s America250 initiative, a more than $1 million investment in community‑driven projects throughout the company’s service territories to recognize America’s 250th anniversary. Additional grant recipients will be announced later this spring, including support for veterans’ workforce pathways and initiatives that expand access to history and civics education.

The partnership aims to build resilience where land meets water across North America and Asia

Press Kit

WASHINGTON, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blue Boundaries, a partnership between the National Geographic Society and the Chubb Charitable Foundation, has selected its first focus locations across North America and Asia. Launched in 2025, the multiyear global initiative focuses on transformational change at the intersection of land and water.

The first phase of the Blue Boundaries program focuses on freshwater wetlands and will champion scientific research and spark scalable conservation efforts across three regions worldwide. Those locations include:

• Wetlands of Southern Mexico, Belize & Guatemala: As the gateway to the tropics for the Americas, this region’s biodiverse wetlands serve as a critical stronghold for iconic wildlife — including jaguars, howling monkeys and greater flamingos — while simultaneously supporting a robust tourism-based economy and storing vast amounts of irrecoverable carbon that is essential to achieving global climate stability.
• Wetlands of the Lower Mekong Basin: Spanning four nations, including Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the Lower Mekong Basin is a critical transnational lifeline that sustains tens of millions of livelihoods and hosts one of the world’s largest and most productive inland fisheries, producing 2.3 million tons of fish harvested every year. This region remains a global biodiversity hotspot, providing shelter for rare mammals, birds and aquatic life such as Asian elephants, Irrawaddy dolphins and Malayan tigers.
• Wetlands of the Mississippi River: A cornerstone of North American ecological resilience, this region provides essential drinking water, economic stability through agriculture, trade and hydropower, and carbon storage. This watershed acts as an unparalleled biodiversity artery, hosting 60% of North American migratory birds and providing critical habitat for species such as beavers, river otters and American alligators.

“Wetlands are one of the most critical ecosystems globally, yet they’re disappearing three times faster than forests. Protection and resilience for the people and nature that rely on these life-sustaining ecosystems is more important than ever before,” said Ian Miller, chief science and innovation officer at the Society. “These three selections reflect our program’s commitment to illuminate and protect some of the most critical and at-risk ecosystems on our planet.”

Blue Boundaries is driven by a deep curiosity about the interconnected networks of life where land meets water. The program focuses on safeguarding three of Earth’s most vital ecosystems — freshwater wetlands, coastal systems and reefs — through high-impact, science-driven efforts to conserve, protect and restore these critical environments. It will also deploy powerful storytelling to mobilize global awareness and action in support of these ecosystems.

The progression of the program’s three phases mirrors the natural downstream flow of water, beginning with freshwater wetlands. Freshwater ecosystems, including wetlands, support the livelihoods and clean drinking water for billions of people. Both freshwater and coastal wetlands provide habitat for more than 40% of species globally.

In collaboration with leading experts and the program’s newly established science committee, the Blue Boundaries team conducted a thorough analysis to identify potential locations for the program’s first phase. From a list of 37 high-potential locations, the team selected three based on the program’s impact goals and its core scientific pillars, which focus on understanding and supporting a rich variety of life, creating a healthy carbon balance, strengthening nature’s ability to bounce back from disruption, and ensuring people and nature can thrive together.

The Blue Boundaries Science Committee consists of members from academic, conservation and partner institutions, including chair Justin Brashares, UC Berkeley professor and a member of the Society’s Committee for Research and Exploration; Katie Fiorella, Cornell University associate professor; Jason Gulley, University of South Florida professor; Ian Harrison, co-chair of the Freshwater Conservation Committee at the IUCN Species Survival Commission; Clint Willson, dean of the Louisiana State University College of the Coast & Environment; and Margaret Peloso, senior vice president, Chubb Group. This advisory group will provide specialized knowledge and mentor the cohorts of National Geographic Explorers for Blue Boundaries.

The first Blue Boundaries Explorer cohort will be selected this year through an invite-only peer-review process. Research and conservation projects funded in these three regions will focus on the program’s core scientific pillars, illuminate and elevate the instrumental role these ecosystems play for people and the environment, and advance strategies essential for habitat restoration and global resilience.

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 9th Annual Rafi’s Amigos Golf Outing will once again bring together community leaders, businesses, and golf enthusiasts for a day of friendly competition and philanthropy, all in support of a program that helps Dayton-area students explore careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through aviation principles. The event is scheduled for Friday, June 5, 2026, at the Beavercreek Golf Club, in Greene County.

Hosted by community advocate Rafi Rodriguez, Colonel (Retired) USAF, the annual outing raises funds to sponsor an exclusive one-day session at Air Camp for selected Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) cadets from participating local high schools (so far: Fairborn, Beavercreek, and Bellbrook). The immersive aviation experience allows students to explore hands-on STEM modules, including each cadet flying with an instructor pilot, often for the first time.

FULL VIDEO STORY: https://youtu.be/o8jBUdD6N0M?si=_Mu_TkBJdkRnqhgu

The event’s presenting sponsors, White Allen European Auto Group, White Allen Chevrolet, and White Allen Volkswagen, have played a key role in helping the outing grow into a community tradition that blends recreation with opportunity for local students.

“It’s been a long-standing priority of White Allen to focus on supporting the local community, and Rafi’s Amigos provides a great way to help area JROTC cadets have the chance to examine their potential through Air Camp,” said Scott Da Costa Gomez, general manager of White Allen European Auto Group. “We really enjoy the event, and our team has a great time at an event celebrating these amazing cadets.”

Over the past several years, proceeds from the event have helped ensure that dozens of JROTC cadets can participate in the Air Camp experience at no cost to their families. For many students, the day provides an early glimpse into aviation careers and the confidence to pursue them.

One such student is Annaleese Theodor, a 2024 graduate of Bellbrook High School whose experience at Air Camp helped shape her future. Now a student at Sinclair Community College, Theodor is working toward a bachelor’s degree in helicopter aviation and credits her Air Camp experience with sparking that interest.

“My experience at Air Camp inspired me to learn more about becoming a pilot—specifically, I wanted to be a helicopter pilot,” Theodor said. She added that the opportunity would not have been possible without the support of the golf outing’s donors and sponsors. “My parents couldn’t have afforded to send me to Air Camp and thanks to Rafi’s Amigos Golf Outing, I had an experience that helped inspire a future career as a helicopter pilot.”

Despite being only in her second year of college, Theodor has already completed her flight training and is now a certified helicopter pilot instructor—an accomplishment that organizers say reflects the long-term impact the event is designed to create.

Rodriguez said stories like Theodor’s are exactly why the outing continues to grow each year. “The goal has always been simple,” he said. “Give young people a chance to see what’s possible.”

Community members and businesses still have several ways to get involved with this year’s event. Sponsorship opportunities remain available, including hole sponsorships and additional partnership packages. A limited number of foursomes are also open for golfers who want to participate in the outing.

Volunteers are also welcome to help support event logistics and ensure a successful day for participants. As the outing enters its ninth year, organizers say the focus remains on creating opportunities that extend far beyond the golf course—helping local students discover passions that may one day turn into lifelong careers.

More information about sponsorships, golf registrations, and volunteer opportunities can be found at askrafi.com/events or by contacting the official public affairs agency, and sponsor, GLD Communications at 937-675-6169.

Key points

• $5M founding gift to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, supporting inaugural exhibitions, including one by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer David Hume Kennerly
• Sponsorship of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery to assess and conserve 110 historic presidential portraits

WASHINGTON, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250^th anniversary, Bank of America today announced a new partnership to preserve the legacy of the American presidency. Through a $5 million capital gift to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and the ongoing assessment and conservation of 110 presidential portraits and frames at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, Bank of America is helping preserve the history of the leaders who defined our nation for generations to come.

The announcement is being made at a private event in Washington, bringing together civic leaders, cultural institutions, business executives and clients during a pivotal week in the nation’s capital focused on democracy, leadership and the global economy.

Preserving the Presidency — Past and Present

Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

Opening July 4, 2026 and set in the North Dakota Badlands – the place that shaped Theodore Roosevelt’s worldview and leadership – the library will explore the presidency, conservation, civic responsibility and the evolving American experiment. As a founding sponsor, Bank of America is supporting the development of the library and its inaugural exhibitions, including Theodore Roosevelt’s White House and a featured photography exhibit by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer David Hume Kennerly. As a former Official White House Photographer who has documented thirteen consecutive U.S. presidents, Kennerly’s work transcends any single administration. The Kennerly exhibition opening this fall offers an intimate look at the presidency and the people behind it over the last half-century, as well as the cultural moments that shaped the nation. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is currently being built in Medora, N.D., a project made possible through the dedicated support of state leadership, including Sec. Doug Burgum in his capacity as Governor of North Dakota. 

“Bank of America has grown alongside our country by helping people, businesses of every size, and communities prosper,” said Brian Moynihan, Chair and CEO of Bank of America. “The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library—and the Kennerly exhibition on the modern presidency—reflect Theodore Roosevelt’s belief that strong leadership and democratic institutions drive economic opportunity. We commend Secretary Burgum’s leadership, from his time as governor to today, in advancing a vision that links history, civic responsibility, and long‑term prosperity.”

National Portrait Gallery

The sponsorship builds on Bank of America’s long-standing support for historic preservation and public education, including its support of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project.

As part of the initiative, the Portrait Gallery is undertaking a comprehensive conservation effort focused on “America’s Presidents,” its signature exhibition since 1962. The project includes assessment and potential conservation of 110 presidential portraits and frames, many of which have never undergone formal conservation, ensuring these works remain available to the public for generations to come. Following conservation, the portraits will return to public view as part of the museum’s collection and the “America’s Presidents” gallery.

As America approaches its semiquincentennial, these two efforts reflect a shared recognition: history is not only something to preserve, but something to engage—through institutions, leadership and civic participation.

More information about Bank of America’s celebrations of America’s 250^th anniversary and its long-standing support for communities, culture and education is available on the company’s website at: www.bofa.com/america250.

Surge in Renewable Energy Demand, Stringent Environmental Regulations, and Technological Advancements Drive Global Waste-to-Energy Market Expansion

PORTLAND, Ore., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

Market Size & Growth

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research named ‘Waste to Energy Market by Technology (Thermal, Biochemical, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032′, The global waste-to-energy (WtE) market stood at $35.6 bn in 2022, and is expected to reach $56.0 bn by 2032, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2032.

Waste-to-energy (WtE) transforms non-recyclable waste materials into energy usable in the home: electricity, heat and biofuels. This dual-purpose approach therefore addresses both global waste management problems and the accelerating demand for renewable energy, thereby reducing our dependence on fossil fuels while also suppressing greenhouse gas emissions.

The market growth is driven primarily by demand for renewable energy, increasing stringency in environmental regulations, growing awareness of environmental problems and the need for sustainable waste management techniques to repair an unhealthy ecosystem. Nonetheless, high initial capital investment requirements for WtE infrastructure continue to be a crucial stumbling block on the road to reaching widespread market adoption.

Key Market Insights

Key points from the global waste-to-energy market include:

• Market valuation of $35.6 billion in 2022, estimated to grow to $56.0 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.7%
• Thermal technology lowers the costs and is expected to bring in over four-fifths (80 percent) of total global revenue from waste to energy (WtE) systems by 2032
• The ‘Others’ category, including mechanical biological treatment (MBT) and plasma gasification, might see a 7.6% slower growth rate if, not surprisingly, geothermal electricity generation can be quickly developed and maintained
• Europe was the leader in global terms of cumulative installed WtE capacity in 2022, with over 42% of global revenue
• Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region. With a 5.1% CAGR which will allow development to continue for some time into the future driven by rapid urbanization and industrial production
• Government policies that are as firm and environmentally-friendly s possible, commitments to reducing the effects of carbon emissions, and international climate agreements will spur eWtE adoption worldwide
• WtE technologies reduce waste volumes by 80 to 90%, significantly mitigating dependence on landfill

Thus advanced waste-to-energy solutions are emerging as a cost-effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly complement to solar, wind, and hydropower in the mix of global renewable energy.

Market Segmentation

Market segmentation of waste to- energy is divided into technology and geography. By Technology:

• Thermal: The biggest segment controls over 80% of market revenue. The many thermal WtE processes incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis take up waste generation itself. Incineration most widely utilized these days involves controlled combustion of waste at high temperatures to produce steam and electricity. Thermal processing like this one can slash the volume of input refuse by 80-90 % in effect making it an ideal solution for cities. What really counts is that thermal methods are capable of handling whatever combined waste streams come their way–municipal solid wastes(MSW), industrial residues from chemistry design houses or agricultural by-products–and even biomass as such colonic material has been around for 10,000 years.
• Biochemical: This segment includes composting and other processes that convert organic waste into useful products, such as biogas, for clean energy generation.
• Others: This fastest-growing segment grew at 5.3% in annual compound growth rate (CAGR). growth and this includes advanced technologies such as mechanical biological treatment( MBT; plasma gasification; hydrothermal processing – continuing innovation while building up to next-generation WtE solutions.

Regional Insights

Europe – Dominant Market Leader

Europe holds the largest market share, taking two-fifths more of global WtE revenue than any other region in 2022 and will maintain this gapped dominance at a CAGR of 4.6% through 2032. The region’s dominance is due to its sanitary and mature waste management infrastructure,tough carbon-emission regulations, pollutant semic, direct subsidies for WtE facilities and clear renewable energy targets. Nations such as Germany (about 80 operating plants), Sweden, Denmark, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have had advanced WtE industries for years. Their systems now integrate incineration, gasification as well as pyrolysis to generate or produce electricity, heating medium for chemical reactions in powerstation bleachers, and also bio-oil bio-gasoline from syngamoses. It is to be noted that in Denmark and Sweden are the European leaders in WtE technology. Wastes-to-energy is will continue that long-term development strategy over next generations, as it was a part of their energy strategies and therefore a founding cornerstone in management and regional planning.

Asia-Pacific – Fastest-Growing Region

In this region, the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is predicted to be 5.1 per cent from 2023 through to 2032. Under the impetus of rapid industrial expansion and urbanization, combined with population growth and escalating municipal solid waste generation, WtE is now on the rise throughout the region. China, Japan, India, South Korea and other countries are all pouring large sums of money into WtE infrastructure. Especially India, where a total of five new waste-to-energy plants have been announced by the Telangana government to generate 101 MWs of electricity from handling 15,000 metric tons daily, also the city of Indore began Operations $24 million worth in 2024 with one such plant which burns municipal trash incinerator-style to produce 6 MWs output.

Indeed the inauguration of the world’s largest waste-to-energy plant at Dubai in July 2024, will process 1.9 million tonnes annually and generate 200 MW of electrical power. This underscores Middle East as a larger and more comprehensive commitment to clean energy today than ever before.

North America

North America is the second largest market worldwide for WtE. The region is motivated by rapidly growing environmental sensitivity, increasing climate change commitments and private industry fission generation of clean energy. has given this market added impetus The U.S. Department of Energy BioEnergy Technologies Office (BETO) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are actively promoting the development of WtE, with support from local communities and investment in R&D.

LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa)

LAMEA has potential opportunities for governments to solve their waste management problems by making energy from the stuff instead of letting it pile up and smell. This segment is expected to benefit from supportive policies driven by administrative authorities, as well as increased investments from other nations. The governments hope that investment both at home and abroad will help them realise a bright future for this new line of work over the forecast period.

Analyst Review

Industry analysts at Allied Market Research point out that we are at the triggering point for global waste-to-energy market transition. rising waste volumes as well as blocked landfills intensify the need for novel, low-carbon energy Even though the climate chaos issue is now being put in that light, not many people understand this or realize it yet.

Meanwhile, as urbanization continues apace—most obviously in Asia-Pacific and throughout the LAMEA region—waste piles up as fast as conventional disposal systems can swallow, creating strong demand for WtE solutions.

Although in the near term thermal WtE may continue to dominate due to its greater operational maturity, scalability and ability to handle multiple types of waste, next-generation technologies like plasma gasification, MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) and anaerobic digestion are receiving considerable investor interest. That underpins a wave of change in the WtE landscape (2025–2032).

From the perspective of regulation, in Europe as well as North America and Asia-Pacific rules governing landfills are becoming stricter. Carbon taxes are also on the rise and governments are extending significant breaks to help fund more WtE infrastructure—all adding up overall for market stakeholders. At the same time international climate mandates, such as pledges to net-zero carbon emissions and directives for circular economies, are all stimulating greater public investment in WtE as a complementary part of sustainable energy portfolios.

Against the requirement of large initial capital as well as infrastructure construction has not yet served its preconditions–especially for some developing countries. Yet an expected fall in technology costs, higher flue gas treatment standards and a rise in public-private partnerships programs are helping to reduce the entry barriers for waste-to-energy projects. With digitalization, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence increasingly embedded in WtE operations, this not only enhances overall system performance but also brings WtE ever more to the attention of investors and municipal officials alike.

Overall, the waste-to-energy market offers a strategically significant growth opportunity until 2032 for technology providers with all along the value chain as well as investors and policy makers committed to sustainable consumption practices. At the same time it presents an attractive but limited-time confluence of energy security goals and environmental mandates.
