ACORE Statement on the “BEST Act”

Statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)

WASHINGTON, D.C. - "We congratulate Senators Collins, Heinrich and all of the other cosponsors on their bipartisan legislation to fund important energy storage research. This effort will help drive innovation and yield significant long-term benefits for our nation's grid and energy consumers.


"In order to meet immediate needs and provide near-term benefits to American electricity consumers, we also call on Congress to pass the bipartisan Energy Storage Tax Incentive and Deployment Act introduced by Senators Heinrich and Gardner earlier this year."

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.
