EARTH DAY LIGHTS UP THE WORLD AS ICONIC LANDMARKS ILLUMINATE IN GREEN TO SHOW UNITY AND COMMITMENT TO THE PLANET

WASHINGTON, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To mark the 55th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd, we are proud to stand with communities around the world in support of our planet. Since 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG has united over one billion people annually to protect the environment.

This year, our “Earth Day 55: Illuminations for the Future,” lights up iconic buildings all over the world in green on April 22nd. This illumination serves as a powerful visual reminder of our shared responsibility to safeguard  the environment and our commitment to building a sustainable future.

LINK TO PHOTOS

From towering skyscrapers in New York City to cultural landmarks in Europe and Asia, these illuminations serve as a timely and visual call to action. They represent a shared commitment to preserving the environment and reflecting a growing awareness of the urgent need to care for the world we all depend on.

“These illuminations are a beacon, reminding us that there is always light, and that we are all in this together, united by our common cause to care for the planet, our own communities, families and our own well being,” says Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG.

In New York, buildings participating include One World Trade Center, One Five One West 42, the OneWTC Podium, Sven LIC, One Bryant Park, the Vessel at Hudson Yards, 10 Hudson Yards, Edge, Bronx Terminal Market, and the Con Edison Clock Tower in Manhattan. The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York will also be glowing green in honor of the day.

“We applaud those who have loaned their buildings and landmarks around the world to signal we are one world in this together,” says John Oppermann, Executive Director of Earth Day Initiative.

Beyond New York, LA City Hall in Los Angeles lit up.

“All Angelenos deserve clean air, clean drinking water and access to green infrastructure such as maintained parks and EV chargers,” says Mayor Bass. “We’ve seen the dangers of climate change first hand – and we must do all that we can to continue building climate-resistant, zero-emission and green infrastructure in order to protect our city and all who live here.”

Outside of the U.S other iconic buildings went “green” – The Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, Scotland, Christ the King in Lisbon, Portugal, Frere Hall in Karachi, Pakistan, the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China are also all participating in this global gesture. In Mumbai, India several famous buildings are lighting up – the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Indian Merchant Chamber. In Kolhapur, Shivaji University, Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Terminus, and Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj Airport. In Gurajat – the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Air. In DelhiSt. James’ Church.

“To mark the 55th anniversary of Earth Day on 22 April and the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement we are proud to stand with communities around the world in support of our planet,” says Kathleen Warden, Director of Conference Sales, Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow, Scotland (host of COP26). “Since 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG has united over one billion people annually to protect the environment, and this year we are honoured to join other iconic buildings worldwide to illuminate the Hydro, serving a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to safeguard our environment and build a sustainable future.”

These illuminations serve as a powerful visual reminder to care for our planet’s health, while also offering a way to educate and inspire everyone. They are a symbolic reminder that the health of our planet is a shared responsibility, and that awareness must be matched with intention and action.

“Education is fundamental to each urban policy. Only last year at the Rydzowa Ecological Education Center we provided training for 34 000 people, mostly children, and adults as well,” says Magdalena Młochowska, Director and Coordinator for Green Warsaw, Poland.

About EARTHDAY.ORG: Founded in 1970 by the organizers of the first Earth Day, EARTHDAY.ORG has grown into the world’s largest environmental movement, mobilizing over one billion people annually to protect the planet and its people.

Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE to Deliver 912 MWh of Energy Storage Solutions for Colbún’s Diego de Almagro Sur Project in Chile

KITCHENER, ON, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Canadian Solar Inc. (the “Company” or “Canadian Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ) today announced that e-STORAGE, which is part of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary CSI Solar Co., Ltd. (“CSI Solar”), has signed a contract with Colbún, one of Chile’s leading power generation companies, to supply a 228 MW/912 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for the Diego de Almagro Sur project in Chile’s Atacama Region.

The Diego de Almagro Sur BESS Project will utilize e-STORAGE’s SolBank 3.0, a proprietary battery energy storage solution, featuring lithium-iron-phosphate battery technology, an active balancing battery management system, and an advanced liquid cooling system for superior performance and safety. e-STORAGE will also provide Colbún with a fully integrated solution that includes local project management, commissioning services, and long-term maintenance.

Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2025, generating up to 150 jobs at peak activity. The project is expected to reach commercial operation in December 2026. With enough capacity to cover the equivalent electricity consumption of 55,480 households, this storage system will be co-located with the 232 MW Diego de Almagro Sur Solar Park, which Colbún has been operating since 2022. The solar park currently includes an existing battery storage system with a capacity of 8 MW/32 MWh of storage.

Beyond providing energy shifting and capacity contribution, the Diego de Almagro Sur BESS Project will deliver advanced grid services—such as grid forming, black start, and inertia support—that are essential for integrating more renewables into Chile’s national grid. By creating local jobs and leveraging local supply chains, the project is expected to generate a positive socio-economic impact in the Atacama Region. In addition, SolBank 3.0’s high efficiency and safety profile help minimize environmental footprint, supporting Colbún’s sustainability goals while ensuring long-term system performance.

José Ignacio Escobar, CEO of Colbún, commented, “This agreement with e-STORAGE positions us as one of the leading companies in Chile’s energy storage market, ensuring a continuous and secure supply of renewable energy for our industrial clients. This project, together with the other battery systems we are developing in the north of the country, will complement the storage capacity we already have through our reservoirs in the south. It is aligned with our vision of driving a responsible energy transition, where renewable energy must be not only sustainable, but also secure, continuous, and competitive.”

Colin Parkin, President of e-STORAGE, added, “We are proud to support Colbún’s bold vision of advancing Chile’s energy transition through large-scale storage. The Diego de Almagro Sur BESS Project represents a significant milestone for e-STORAGE’s expansion in Latin America and reinforces our role as a key enabler of Chile’s clean energy transformation. This project showcases the critical role of BESS in enabling greater grid reliability, optimizing renewable energy usage, and supporting industrial demand with a secure and continuous supply. With our SolBank 3.0 technology, we are not only delivering cutting-edge performance and safety, but also reinforcing our long-term commitment to Latin America’s clean energy future.”

Hainan fish on global tables: testament to successful Hainan Fresh Products initiative


HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 April 2025 – At the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo held in Hainan recently, Wang Kangzheng, a marketing staff member of the Hainan Haiken Marine Industry Group Co., Ltd., has been busy showcasing premium seafood. Golden pompano produced in the deep-sea aquaculture base was a bestseller at the exhibition, and many buyers and visitors stopped to inquire, taste, and order.

Above picture: Hainan is speeding up the development of deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture. Following picture: Golden pompanos are farmed in the deep sea around Hainan.

“These golden pompanos were cultivated in the deep sea of Changjiang, Hainan, featuring no intermuscular bones, delicious meat, abundant unsaturated fatty acids, and multiple trace elements.” Wang Kangzheng said.

As the southernmost tropical island province in China, Hainan boasts a vast sea area, pristine water, and a suitable climate, which are ideal for fishery.

In recent years, Hainan has redoubled efforts in deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture and proposed three priorities: the shore, the deep sea, and recreational fishery. By the end of 2024, the scale of deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture water bodies exceeded 8.5 million cubic meters, and the total output of aquatic products reached 1.814 million tons, more than half of which were supplied to the domestic and international markets.

“At least 150,000 kilograms of golden pompanos caught in our deep-sea aquaculture base have been exported to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia during this harvest season,” Wu Zhiduo, chairman of Hainan Haiken Marine Industry Group Co., Ltd., expressed his joy at supplying dining tables around the world. In addition, Haiken has recently launched the Sanya Bay Deep-sea and Far-sea Aquaculture Project, focusing on the cultivation of high value-added deep-sea fish species with Hainan characteristics, such as golden pompano and grouper, to drive the construction of modern marine ranches.

Tilapia, known as the “fish of the 21st century,” has “grown” into a large industry since it “swam” to Hainan nearly three decades ago in the 20th century. According to the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, almost 30% of China’s exported tilapia are produced in Hainan, while most of the tilapia in the European and American markets comes from China.

Hainan, where amberjack fries have been exported to Japan for nearly 40 years, plays a key role in global amberjack production. The Wanning Marine Fishery Association revealed that Hainan catches about 15 million natural fries every year, contributing to about 70% of China’s total exports. Earlier this month, a Japanese-flagged ship loaded with 170,000 amberjack fries set sail, marking the first batch of fry exports in the province this year.

As stated by the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Hainan promotes smart deep-sea aquaculture by adopting advanced data management and precise feeding systems so that professionals make informed decisions based on real-time parameters. Feed provided in the preset time and amount not only avoids waste but also boosts efficiency and quality. Today, Hainan’s golden pompano, grouper, tilapia, tuna, and other aquatic products are favored by more and more countries and regions: one reason is the excellent climate, while the other is detail-oriented scientific aquaculture.

In fact, Hainan’s aquatic product export has been constantly growing, thanks to the business-friendly policies of the Free Trade Port, the measures taken for the high-quality development of agricultural international trade, and the Hainan Fresh Products initiative. Nothing demonstrates the achievements better than data provided by the Haikou Customers: from January to February this year, Hainan’s aquatic products exported to the USA, the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, France, and Israel increased by 39.6%, 33.8%, 109.9%, 75.7%, 75.3%, and 52.2%, respectively.
