The UK's Plans To Decarbonise the Aviation Industry and Diversify its Economy
The United Kingdom recently announced a shortlist of companies that will receive funding as part of the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan, the Green Fuels, Green Skies competition to advance the production of SAF. Chicago-based LanzaTech, was among the companies, who will receive funding to pioneer new technologies, converting materials such as household waste, alcohol, carbon from the atmosphere, and sewage into SAF at commercial scales, offering emissions savings of more than 70% compared to the use of conventional fossil jet fuel.
Two Key Leadership Moves Positions Fermata Energy to Expand V2X Technology to EV Infrastructure
Fermata Energy was founded to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road, and the transition to renewable energy on the grid. Today the Charlottesville, VA company announced two key leadership changes that position it to Expand vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology to EV infrastructure. Scott Brierley, who as of last week led Nissan's V2X bidirectional charging initiative left and joined Fermata Energy this week as Director of Automotive and Strategic Partnership. Marty Weiner has joined Fermata's Advisory Board. Marty was the founding architect, and engineer of Pinterest and the first Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Reddit. Marty brings with him extensive leadership experience in scaling companies in emerging technologies and new industries.
5G Feeds V2G using energy when you need it from parked EVs
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) proved successful in powering New Lab's 5G Studio, in Brooklyn, using Verizon's 5G network. The results were announced today during a virtual demo day. Fermata Energy installed a bidirectional charger and used their proprietary V2X energy management software to perform V2X activities with a Nissan LEAF using 5G technology. With the charger connected to Newlab's building energy load, their testing compared peak shaving and load balancing operations of the electric grid between 4G and 5G, proving 5G's ability to react to changes in the grid based on real-time data and with very low latency.

U.S. Department of Energy’s Investment leads to a new carbon economy
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy awarded $35 million to 15 research projects that aim to advance new technologies to decarbonize biorefinery processes used across the energy, transportation, and agriculture sectors, including $4.1M to Skokie-based LanzaTech, to enhance existing technology to create everyday products from pollution.
Shell Invests in LanzaJet to Further Accelerate the Global Commercialization of LanzaJet’s Leading Alcohol-to-Jet Technology to Address the Aviation Sector’s Urgent Need to Decarbonise
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is fundamental to aviation’s progress towards net-zero emissions, and looking forward, LanzaJet’s technology provides a ready, scalable, and unique solution that focuses on SAF production today and for tomorrow. Shell’s investment further enables LanzaJet’s global growth and aligns with Shell’s strategy to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society, providing customers with more and cleaner energy solutions.
1,000 Patent for Climate Technology Company LanzaTech, is IPAwesome!
Today, LanzaTech announced that it secured its 1,000th patent. A leader in the production of climate-friendly and sustainable products, through its disruptive and patented technology, LanzaTech captures waste carbon emissions (such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide produced in steel manufacturing) and converts it into fuels, chemicals and everyday goods, that would otherwise come from fossil resources. For a company that was established just 16 years ago, securing 1,000 patents is a notable achievement.
Electric Vehicles Have the Power To Accelerate The Transition To Renewable Energy
Fermata Energy has been chosen as one of 11 companies in North America to participate in the inaugural Google for Startups Accelerator: Climate Change. Fermata Energy is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology company that designs, supplies, and operates V2X technology. It turns electric vehicles (EV) into energy storage assets that combat climate change, increase resilience, and dramatically lower EV ownership cost.
By turning pollution from factories into ethanol, fuel, and food LanzaTech is recognized as an industry leader in bending the carbon curve
FERMATA ENERGY SELECTED FOR THE U.S. ARMY’S POWER TRANSFER COHORT
Fermata Energy was selected to participate in the Power Transfer Cohort, powered by the Army Applications Laboratory (AAL) in collaboration with Alion Science and Technology. This program focuses on advancing solutions that will support remote access, rapid recharging, and scalable infrastructure to help the Army move to electric vehicles (EVs).
Decarbonization of the Aviation Industry Gains Momentum with the Appointment of the UK's Former Chief Scientific Advisor to LanzaJet's Board

Can a Nissan LEAF power a 6-story, 40,000 SF warehouse, built-in 1908? Yes, it can!
Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions and the City of Denver has a plan to decarbonize commercial buildings in the city.
The Alliance Center, a nonprofit event and collaborative working space in the heart of lower downtown Denver, recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis and announced today that it found a solution to reduce the carbon footprint of its 112-year-old building, using electric vehicles.
The Alliance Center announced a partnership with Fermata Energy, a clean technology company based in Charlottesville, VA, to use the energy stored in an electric vehicle (a Nissan LEAF) and power their six-story, 40,000-square-foot office building originally constructed as a warehouse in 1908 (1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202). This new partnership will result in energy cost savings and energy efficiency. (Link to News Release)
KEY FACTS:
The Alliance Center is a model for innovative green building practices, collaborative working techniques, and engaging educational programming—all designed to scale up the sustainability movement.
Fermata Energy’s V2G System has already proven to save building owners money, and with cities and counties struggling to not only secure additional funding amidst the pandemic but also on how to meet net-zero emission goals, this system will save The Alliance Center money and help the nonprofit reevaluate its energy use more efficiently.
Last month, The City of Boulder announced that it is working with Fermata Energy to test the ability to use an electric vehicle to dispatch power directly to one of its recreation centers. Fermata also recently announced new partnerships with Roanoke Electric Cooperative, Green Mountain Power, and Bigelow Tea.

Why vehicle-to-grid technology is becoming critical to utilities and local governments climate and cost-saving strategy
For the governments and utilities to be meet their goals of transitioning to renewable energy and electric vehicles, massive battery storage is needed to scale. They can do that through the use of vehicle-to-grid equipped electric vehicles and the V2G system to help transfer the power from the vehicle to the building.
