Charles Carey, the Founder of CIG Renewables, established the company as part of the CIG group to contribute to a more sustainable future. With a current portfolio of 2.5 gigawatts in renewable energy capacity, CIG Renewables is on track to double this by 2027 through the deployment of solar and wind projects. The company is also venturing into hydrogen production, with pilot projects underway to produce green hydrogen using renewable sources. Carey emphasizes the importance of utilizing innovative technologies and partnerships to reduce carbon emissions significantly. CIG Renewables plans to expand its solar projects to states like Arizona, Nevada, and California, known for their high solar irradiance and supportive energy policies. Challenges in the solar industry, including regulatory issues and grid integration, are tackled by working closely with local communities, strategic land selection, and investment in energy storage solutions. Regarding hydrogen production, CIG Renewables focuses on selecting locations near renewable energy sources for efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The company aims to integrate hydrogen production into real estate developments to enhance sustainability and attract environmentally conscious buyers. Government policies, incentives, and collaborations play a key role in the development of hydrogen projects, driving technological advancements and market adoption. Safety considerations are crucial in using hydrogen, with protocols in place for storage, handling, leak detection, and fire prevention. CIG Renewables envisions a future where hydrogen plays a vital role in clean energy solutions, supported by government initiatives and partnerships to promote a stable investment environment and foster economic growth.
