May 2025 - Net Zero Times

In this issue, we highlight an innovative financial strategy designed for Public Sector Financial and Economic Sustainability that provides Investment Capital with repayment tied directly to energy savings. This groundbreaking model, developed by SOFIAC with energy-saving technology from NERVA Energy, allows you to benefit without the risk: if you don’t save, you don’t pay. This approach eliminates the burdensome constraints of traditional loan repayment structures. Furthermore, implementing these measures can lead to greenhouse gas emission reductions of 25–30%, making it a win-win for both budgets and the environment.

We would also like to draw your attention to Georgian College and Grey County partner to build greener, more resilient communities. Note the CASIS special member feature on MCW. Also we have many great Conferences this spring season: check out our events section. It's not too late to sign up for the Ontario Geothermal Conference.

If you have stories, events or information to share with our readers about new technologies or strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or lessons learned on the path to net zero, please reach out to us at mcresswell@thomascoleinc.com.
