In the quest to combat climate change, innovative solutions in the transportation sector stand out as pivotal battlegrounds. Luke Nolan, the Global Account Manager at Incharge Energy emerges as a key player in this fight, leveraging partnerships with OEMs and school bus customers to spearhead the adoption of electric school buses. By forging partnerships to introduce zero-emission vehicles, Nolan is tackling the transportation sector's significant greenhouse gas emissions. His efforts highlight the critical role of renewable energy, such as solar power, in powering these sustainable fleets.

In what ways does this effort serve as a blueprint for the wider transportation industry's shift towards sustainability?

Nolan offers insightful commentary, underscoring the critical shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to energize zero-emission vehicles.

"We help with zero-emission vehicles being able to operate their fleets. And a lot of these engagements require a source of renewable energy versus, fossil fuel generated resources," Nolan states

Hello. My name is Luke Nolan, and I'm a global account manager at Incharge Energy. My work focuses on building partnerships with OEMs and with school bus customers to help them develop electric school bus solutions. The transportation sectors are responsible for thirty percent of greenhouse gas emissions. So decarbonizing transportation sector is really key to meeting greenhouse gas emission goals or carbon reduction goals. Now we play a very positive role in that. We help with zero emission vehicles being able to operate their fleets. And a lot of these engagements to require source of renewable energy versus, fossil fuel generated resources. So things like solar, adding more of that into the mix for actually powering these chargers is a a major factor in reducing that total number renounced gas emissions in the transportation set. Really within the past EPA Queen School bus round, we contributed by contracting about thirty percent of the EPA clean school bus, electric bus recipients. I think that we're making a tremendous impact in this space. And that, it's exciting because some of these school buses are the first electric school buses that are going to be run-in some of the states across the United States. So I think, like, a lot of us, as a kid, I've read the school bus, to school in the morning, and, I have a lot of positive memories. So I I feel like it's impacting and not only students, but back to the community. So really, I think that helps connect and and everyone in charge that feels the same mesh to what we're doing in the electric school bus space. I'm Luke Nolan, global account manager in charge energy. If you'd like to learn more about us, business of our website, w w w dot incharge US dot com. Thanks again for listening.

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Recycling solar panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for new panel production by 2035. Technical advances are making panel recycling more economic. Buyers and asset owners can start modeling recycled supply and retirement value.

  • 01Panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for solar panel production in 2035, a 15-year lag that suggests recycled supply could be estimated from installation records.
  • 02European researchers estimate recycling could cover about 25% of cobalt and 15% of lithium, nickel and manganese supply by 2030.
  • 03A recycler's recovery rate means little without its purity: TNO's laser process reported roughly 97% yield with silver at 99.7% purity, the pairing that tells a manufacturer whether the metal is usable.
