Here are some noteworthy cleantech announcements of the day from around the world:

Yellow Door Energy, a UAE-based sustainable energy provider for businesses, has successfully commissioned a 3.1 MW solar carport and rooftop solar project for Al Nabooda Automobiles. Located in Dubai Industrial City, the solar carport and rooftop solar project are expected to generate 4,620 MWh of clean energy in the first year of operation, equivalent to reducing 2,000 tons of carbon emissions per year.

ENGIE and ArianeGroup announced the signing of a cooperation agreement in renewable liquid hydrogen to speed up the decarbonization of heavy-duty and long-distance transportation. Renewable liquid hydrogen is a zero-emissions alternative to fossil fuels and an answer to the specific storage and endurance requirements of sectors such as maritime and rail transport and aviation. ENGIE and ArianeGroup will leverage their expertise and cutting-edge technologies in hydrogen to develop and test optimized liquefaction technology with the development of a hydrogen liquefier at ArianeGroup’s industrial facility in Vernon (France).

Power Factors, an independent software, and services provider for renewable energy launched Drive Pro, an asset performance management solution for solar assets. Drive Pro provides owners, operators, and asset managers with innovative tools to identify and recover PV project performance losses to maximize portfolio profitability. Based on initial customer testing, Drive Pro enables asset managers of solar portfolios to capture 2 to 5% of incremental performance from their fleet of PV power projects.
