ISPT secures $1.5b sustainably-linked syndicated term loan

ISPT secures $1.5b sustainably-linked syndicated term loan

Australian fund manager ISPT has reached a significant milestone in its sustainability-focused financing strategy with the arrangement of a $1.5 billion sustainably-linked syndicated term loan. This achievement marks one of the largest for any Australian real estate fund manager and brings ISPT's Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs) to a total of $5.75 billion — cementing its position as a leader in sustainable finance. The transaction, also one of the largest real estate credit deals in Australia in recent years, involved the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), ANZ, Westpac, and HSBC as joint-mandated lead arrangers, bookrunners and joint sustainability coordinators. The $1.5 billion facility is split evenly across five- and seven-year tenors with 20 lenders participating in the transaction. Additionally, ISPT secured an additional $400 million in bilateral SLL facilities ... more
Charging towards sustainability: Paleblue's USB-C rechargeable batteries

Paleblue’s USB-C rechargeable batteries eliminate waste

Paleblue's USB-C rechargeable batteries have garnered attention for their potential to address the environmental and economic impacts of single-use batteries. With a mission to eliminate these wasteful products, Paleblue offers a sustainable alternative that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Exmouth trial to test two-way Electric Vehicle charging potential

An Electric Vehicle (EV) orchestration trial in Exmouth will test the potential for EVs to draw power from the grid and feed it back into the network. Horizon Power is conducting the trial - which is Western Australia's first trial of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability - to test the capability of its management system and to allow EVs to act as mobile energy storage solutions. If successful, V2G could help power homes, reduce power bills, and stabilise the electricity grid. Horizon Power will commence the 12-month trial this month, in partnership with the Gascoyne Development Commission, Shire of Exmouth, Exmouth Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and WA Country Health Service, which operates Exmouth Hospital. Each will receive a Nissan Leaf EV equipped with V2G smart-charging equipment and will be encouraged to use the vehicles as normal. Exmouth was selected as its tourism-... more

Heat recovery – Save money and the environment

Compressors and the compressed air they generate are used in a multitude of applications. However, the fact that compressor exhaust heat can be harnessed often remains forgotten. Up to 96% of the drive energy supplied to a compressor is available for reuse and this is referred to as “heat recovery”. Heat recovery not only saves energy and costs, but also reduces the operator’s CO² footprint. Of course, this heat could simply be conveyed away. However, there are plenty of ways to make use of this readily available energy source that occurs as a by-product of the compression process. The simplest and most efficient method is to use the compressor exhaust heat directly, e.g. for heating adjoining rooms or spaces. Here, instead of discharging hot air from the compressed air station outside, an air ducting system directs it to neighbouring warehouses or workshops. When no hot... more

Boost for Derby Regional Hospital with $1.4 million rooftop solar system

Derby Regional Hospital's carbon emissions and annual energy consumption are set to fall, thanks to a $1.4 million investment by the Cook Government in large-scale rooftop solar. The 910-panel, 364 kilowatt rooftop solar photo-voltaic (PV) system, equivalent to the capacity of about 60 home solar systems, has been switched on at the Kimberley hospital. WA's regional energy provider, Horizon Power, installed the state-of-the-art solar system in partnership with WA Country Health Service. Modelling forecasts the system will lead to a $70,000 per annum reduction in variable energy costs for the hospital and reduce the hospital's annual energy consumption by 24 per cent, in turn cutting its carbon emissions by about 300 tonnes per year. "The Derby Regional Hospital solar system is a great example of the Cook Government delivering on its commitment to increase renewable energy upt... more
Dyno Nobel's Moranbah plant unveils $20m project

Dyno Nobel’s Moranbah plant unveils $20m project

In a significant step towards environmental sustainability and decarbonisation, Dyno Nobel's Moranbah plant has inaugurated a groundbreaking $20 million nitrous oxide abatement project. The newly unveiled project boasts a 20-year lifespan and is projected to abate approximately 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually. This reduction is akin to removing nearly 50,000 cars from the road each year or planting over three million trees annually. The project's technology involves converting nitrous oxide emissions from the manufacturing of nitric acid into naturally occurring nitrogen and oxygen. This process effectively eliminates over 95 per cent of nitrous oxide emissions from the production of explosive products for the mining industry. Furthermore, the abatement project is expected to lead to a reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions for Dyno No... more
Mooreast secures order for anchor supply to Eolmed
