ACORE Statement on Today’s Introduction of a Bipartisan Senate Energy Storage Tax Credit Bill
Statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)
"A federal tax credit for energy storage would have a transformative impact on America's economy, promoting private sector investment and helping monetize the value of energy storage technology. Energy storage improves grid flexibility and provides a wide range of services that enhance reliability and resilience, while enabling greater renewable energy integration.
"We commend Senators Heinrich and Gardner, along with the bill co-sponsors, for re-introducing this important bipartisan legislation and look forward to working with them to enact it as soon as possible."

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
