  • Creation of a Carbon Capture Regulatory Framework (SB 905)

    Investment tax credit for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) Canada, US

    First introduced in 2008, Section 45Q of the Unites States Internal Revenue Code provides a tax credit for CO2 storage. The policy is intended to incentivize deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and a variety of project types are eligible.

    In 2022, the US introduced a significant stimulus for CCUS investment with the passage of legislation (the Inflation Reduction Act) to expand and extend the 45Q tax credit.

    The 2022 changes to 45Q provide up to USD 85…

    First introduced in 2008, Section 45Q of the Unites States Internal Revenue Code provides a tax credit for CO2 storage. The policy is intended to incentivize deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and a variety of project types are eligible.

    In 2022, the US introduced a significant stimulus for CCUS investment with the passage of legislation (the Inflation Reduction Act) to expand and extend the 45Q tax credit.

    The 2022 changes to 45Q provide up to USD 85 per tonne of CO2 permanently stored and USD 60 per tonne of CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or other industrial uses of CO2, provided emissions reductions can be clearly demonstrated. The credit amount significantly increases for direct air capture (DAC) projects to USD 180 per tonne of CO2 permanently stored and USD 130 per tonne for used CO2.

    In addition, the 2022 changes reduce the capacity requirements for eligible projects: 18,750 tonnes per year for power plants (provided at least 75% of the CO2 is captured), 12,000 tonnes per year for other facilities, and 1,000 tonnes per year for DAC facilities.

    Direct land use change emissions are also considered in CORSIA. As per the CORSIA Sustainability Criteria, Theme 1, Criterion 2: In the event of land use conversion after 1 January 2008, as defined based on IPCC land categories, direct land use change (DLUC) emissions shall be calculated. If DLUC greenhouse gas emissions exceed the default induced land use change (ILUC) value, the DLUC value shall replace the default ILUC value.

  • CEA Squareroot LLC | Modular Housing | Modular Office Initiative | CEA Squareroot LLC Selects TenFold Engineering for Commercial and Residential Projects

    TenFold Engineering’s mission is to create relocatable structures for everyone. Installation
    Who installs the units?
    TenFold Engineering units will be installed by contractors in the location where they are delivered. Since the site preparations have to be done prior to the unit arriving, the setup is fast once on site.

    Is it easy to set up?
    Once the unit is delivered you then get to experience the magic of our technology. Check out this video to show you how it works…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSDsH6mwHqE
    We will also help partner you with a local contractor so they can connect the utilities.

    How do you do land preparation?
    Just like any new construction, you would need to clear your land. Additionally, you need to prepare a foundation and bring utilities to it so they can plug in once the unit is deployed. We will work with our clients prior to the delivery.

    How do utilities connect?
    Plumbing, electricity, and HVAC all come pre-installed in your TF-20. Utilities simply plugin on-site to the exterior corner of the unit.

    Do I need a permit to put a unit on my property?
    This will be dependent on your town's zoning and other regulations. We will work with you to ensure you are able to install your unit.

    Are the units stackable?
    Yes! You can put a TF-20 on top of another TF-20. Please contact us with your plans prior to considering this option for your project.

    This Food and Nutrition Policy (FNP) background is divided into four parts: i) food availability, ii) nutritional status, iii) nutrient intake and iv) other health and lifestyle indicators. 3.1 Fundamental to food choices is food availability and access.

    This Food and Nutrition Policy (FNP) background is divided into four parts: i) food availability, ii) nutritional status, iii) nutrient intake and iv) other health and lifestyle indicators. 3.1 Fundamental to food choices is food availability and access. These are intrinsically linked to food self-sufficiency (pag. 2). The most recent Food Balance Sheet for Fiji is for the year 2004 and shows that over half of Fiji’s food supply in terms of macro-nutrients (calories, protein and fat) is imported (Table 1). The Vision of this FNP is: Good health and nutritional well-being for all citizens of Fiji. The Mission is: To improve the nutritional status and health of the population; and the Overall Goal is to reach: Nutritionally healthy communities (pag. 1).


    The following nine policies and their strategies are being proposed to improve the current benchmarks of food availability, nutritional status, nutrient intake as well as other lifestyle and health indicators. The Food and Nutrition Policy will support food and nutrition related policies of Government ministries and departments such as the National Centre for Health Promotion, Agriculture & Fisheries, National Planning, Trade & Commerce, Education, Consumer Council of Fiji, Non-Government and other organisations. To implement the Fiji Food and Nutrition Policy 2007 effectively, it needs to be endorsed at the highest level of Government through the nine following policies: Policy 1: Advocate nutritional issues and mainstreaming into the Government decision-making system. Policy 2: Promote and sustain household food security (through: Local initiatives for increasing production and consumption of fish and seafood, poultry and livestock and Community-based food production to increase consumption of vegetables, fruits and root crops). Policy 3: Improve national nutritional status. Policy 4: Protect consumers through improved food and water quality and safety. Policy 5: Improve nutritional standards.
