OPAL, Republic team up for RNG plant in North Carolina
The new RNG facility, owned jointly by OPAL and its minority partner, a Republic Services affiliate, will have an initial annual design capacity of approximately 1.4 million MMBtu. This project is a conversion of an existing OPAL-owned renewable electricity facility at the site, and the joint venture has executed a new long-term gas rights agreement for the RNG plant. OPAL has already made investments into the construction of this facility and it is expected to come online consistent with recent RNG project timelines.
Using proven technology, the project will capture biomethane produced naturally from the decomposition of organic material from the landfill and convert it into RNG, a low-carbon, low-cost transportation fuel.
'This facility further advances OPAL Fuels' positioning as a leader in the development, operation, and distribution of RNG that provides a sustainable and cost-effective fuel solution for fleets,' said Jonathan Maurer, co-CEO, OPAL Fuels. 'We appreciate increased collaboration with best-in-class partners as we continue to bring cost effective solutions for partners, fleet customers, and the local communities they serve.' Note: The headline, insights, and image of this press release may have been refined by the Fibre2Fashion staff; the rest of the content remains unchanged.
OPAL Fuels and a Republic Services affiliate have formed a joint venture to develop an RNG facility at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill in North Carolina. The plant will convert landfill gas into renewable natural gas, with a design capacity of ~1.4M MMBtu annually. This project repurposes an existing OPAL electricity site and aligns with OPAL's clean fuel growth strategy.

Breaking news live updates, August 12: Rahul Gandhi lauds INDA bloc MPs for support in 'movement against vote theft'
00:17 (IST) Aug 12 US stocks are drifting around their record heights on Monday as Wall Street waits for an upcoming update on inflation. The S&P 500 fell 0.1% and is just below its all-time high set two weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 171 points, or 0.4%, as of 2:30 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%, coming off its own record. The highlight of this week for Wall Street is likely to arrive on Tuesday, when the government will report how bad inflation was across the country in July. Economists expect it to show U.S. consumers had to pay prices for groceries, gasoline and other costs of living that were 2.8% higher in July from a year earlier, a slight acceleration from June's 2.7% inflation. Inflation has remained above 2%, even if it has improved substantially from its peak above 9% three years ago. And the worry is that President Donald Trump's tariffs could push it higher. That in turn is raising fears about a potential, worst-case scenario called 'stagflation' where the economy stagnates but inflation remains high. The Federal Reserve has no good tool to fix both at once, and it would need to concentrate on either the job market or inflation first. But helping one of those areas by moving interest rates would likely hurt the other. A top Fed official, Michelle Bowman, said on Saturday that she believes the job market is the bigger concern. She is still backing three cuts to interest rates by the Fed this year following this month's stunning, weaker-than-expected report on the U.S. job market. Trump himself has also been angrily calling for cuts to interest rates to support the economy. Other Fed officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, are more hesitant. Powell has said he wants to wait for more data about how Trump's tariffs are affecting inflation before the Fed makes its next move, and Tuesday's update on the consumer price index may offer a big clue about that. Strategists at Stifel are warning that stagflation may already be on the way, with spending by U.S. consumers slowing, and they warn that it could cause the U.S. economy to slow to a crawl by the second half of the year. That in turn could create a reckoning for investors after they sent stock prices soaring to records from their low point in April. 'Rate cuts cannot save an overvalued S&P 500,' according to the strategists, led by Thomas Carroll and Barry Bannister. One way companies can make their stock prices appear less expensive is to deliver bigger profits. Micron Technology climbed 3% Monday after raising its forecasts for profit and revenue in the current quarter, which will end later this month. The maker of memory for computers said it's benefiting from higher prices for its products. AMC Entertainment rose 2.9% to shave its loss for the year so far, which came into the day at 26.4% after it reported better results for the spring than analysts expected. The theater chain said moviegoers paid more for their tickets per person than ever before, while also spending more on food and drinks. TKO Group Holdings climbed 8.2% after reaching a deal to distribute the full slate of its 13 marquee UFC numbered events, along with 30 'Fight Nights' on the Paramount+ streaming platform. Paramount Skydance's stock fell 1.6%. Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices advanced after a U.S. government official confirmed that the two agreed to share 15% of their revenues from chip sales to China with the U.S. government. The two had said in July that Washington would allow them to resume sales of their advanced H20 and MI308 chips, which are used in artificial intelligence development, in China but didn't reveal the 15% cut. Nvidia added 0.2%, and AMD climbed 0.7%. On the losing side of Wall Street was after the AI application software company warned it may report an operating loss as large as $124.9 million for its first quarter. CEO Thomas Siebel called the first-quarter sales results 'completely unacceptable,' and its stock tumbled 25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed amid mostly modest movements across Europe and Asia. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury held at 4.27%, where it was late Friday.

GitHub chief executive Thomas Dohmke to step down, cites plans to become a founder
Thomas Dohmke, the CEO of Microsoft-owned software development platform GitHub, has announced his decision to step down after nearly four years at the helm. Dohmke revealed on Monday that he plans to return to his entrepreneurial roots by becoming a founder once again. In a heartfelt message posted on X, Dohmke expressed gratitude towards GitHub employees, whom he affectionately calls 'Hubbers', describing his time with the company as 'the ride of a lifetime.' Reflecting on his journey, Dohmke shared that over a decade ago, he and his family moved from Germany to the United States following the sale of his startup to Microsoft. Since then, he has collaborated with a diverse community including GitHub staff, Microsoft employees, customers, partners, and open-source developers worldwide. He highlighted his progression from building mobile developer tools to leading GitHub through significant milestones such as its acquisition and the launch of AI-powered initiatives like Copilot. Despite his accomplishments, Dohmke said his passion for startups has drawn him back. He will remain at GitHub through the end of 2025 to support a smooth leadership transition. He expressed pride in the company's evolution as a remote-first organisation with a global footprint. Under his leadership, GitHub has strengthened its position with over one billion repositories and forks and a developer base exceeding 150 million. The platform has expanded its reach internationally and earned key certifications, while GitHub Advanced Security has revolutionised vulnerability management through AI, significantly reducing remediation times. Additionally, GitHub Actions has solidified its role as a leading continuous integration solution, processing three billion minutes monthly, a 64 per cent increase year-over-year. Dohmke also emphasised the transformative impact of GitHub Copilot, which has evolved from a simple autocompletion tool into a comprehensive AI coding assistant with over 20 million users. This innovation has been the largest shift in software development since the personal computer, he said. GitHub Copilot's advancements include partnerships with major AI firms and new features such as synchronous and asynchronous coding agents.
