The latest renewable energy news includes announcements on CarbonBlue, Geronimo Power, SUNY ESF and GS Power, among others.
CarbonBlue Launches World-First Integration of CO₂ Removal with Desalination Plant
CarbonBlue has launched the world’s first integrated system combining ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) with desalination operations. The project is located in Limassol, Cyprus, and uses the desalination process to capture atmospheric CO₂ by mineralizing it into solid carbonates during water treatment. This integrated approach aims to provide scalable solutions for both freshwater production and carbon removal. The strategy focuses on leveraging existing desalination infrastructure for dual benefits. Investment figures are not disclosed. Technology focus centers on patented ocean alkalinity enhancement. Customer focus includes utilities and governments seeking combined water and climate solutions. Benefits include CO₂ reduction, water security, and a replicable model for global adoption in coastal regions.
Geronimo Power Expands Portfolio with 250 MW Portage Solar Project in Wisconsin
Geronimo Power has officially broken ground on its 250 MW Portage Solar Project in Columbia County, Wisconsin. The project is expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately 40,000 homes annually and will connect to the regional grid through existing transmission infrastructure. The development aligns with Wisconsin’s goals to increase renewable energy capacity and reduce carbon emissions. Geronimo’s strategy is focused on expanding its US renewable energy footprint through utility-scale solar. The technology includes advanced photovoltaic modules. The project has secured a power purchase agreement (PPA), ensuring long-term revenue. Benefits include clean energy generation, local job creation during construction, landowner lease payments, and tax contributions to the community.
SUNY ESF and GS Power Partners Join for Community Solar Project in New York
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) has partnered with GS Power Partners to subscribe to a New York-based community solar farm, targeting long-term reductions in energy costs. Under this agreement, SUNY ESF will receive solar credits linked to its energy consumption, offsetting a portion of its utility bills. This aligns with New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, supporting renewable energy targets and emission reduction. GS Power Partners specializes in community solar development. The project offers a subscription model with guaranteed cost savings, with no capital expenditure required from SUNY ESF. Benefits include financial savings, renewable energy access, and emissions reductions for the college while supporting broader clean energy adoption in the region.
