Congrats to Generate Upcycle for winning the 2025 Organic Management Facility of the Year award by the National Waste & Recycling Association! This recognition highlights the vital role composting and organics recycling play in reducing landfill waste and creating circular systems that turn waste into value. We’re proud to see the Upcycle team leading the way in sustainable resource recovery.
We are thrilled to announce that the National Waste & Recycling Association has awarded our Cayuga Anaerobic Digester & Biogas Plant the 2025 Organics Management Facility of the Year! 🎉 In September, we celebrated the completion of three years of construction and an approximately $30 million investment to revive and upgrade the plant’s operations, which have more than doubled its capacity to process waste and generate renewable energy.🌱 This enables the Auburn, NY, plant to produce 195,000 MMBtu of RNG annually—the equivalent of heating over 3,500 homes for a year from food waste. Read all about it here: https://lnkd.in/e9sPvC6Z Special thanks to the Cayuga and Upcycle Team!

In his latest Expert View, CEO David Crane reflects on what it will take for the clean energy sector to deliver durable, long-term impact. The piece highlights several important themes shaping the next phase of the energy transition: - The need for greater operational discipline and financial rigor - How scale and sector expertise can help attract institutional capital and manage risk - The importance of purpose-built financing structures to bridge early innovation and mature projects - The role of consolidation in strengthening the sector when pursued intentionally As David notes, moments of volatility can also be moments of clarity. By focusing on fundamentals and building resilient platforms, the sector can move beyond short-term cycles and create lasting value for communities, investors, and the planet. https://lnkd.in/eSpWfExG #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Infrastructure #Resilience

Private investors raised $134.3 billion for infrastructure funds in the first six months of 2025, eclipsing the $111.3 billion raised throughout the entirety of 2024, according to Infrastructure Investor. Data center- and renewables-focused funds accounted for 45% and 36% of the total capital raised, respectively. As these figures demonstrate, load growth, especially for AI data centers, remains a clear and steady tailwind for the energy and infrastructure sectors – and solar, storage, and wind are the most effective technologies to meet this demand.
