SAN DIEGO, CA – 25 Sep, 2015 – Elected officials and higher education leaders from across the country came together today at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. to announce the 2015 Examples of Excelencia, America’s top program that increases higher education achievements for Latino students. Excelencia in Education, the non-profit that conceived and runs this national initiative, honored Barrio Logan College Institute‘s College Success Program as a National Finalist among America’s top programs.

San Diego’s Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) College Success Program was selected from among 265 programs from 30 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia nominated in four categories: associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree, graduate degree, and community-based organization.

Examples of Excelencia is the only national initiative to systematically identify and promote evidence-based programs and departments that are effectively boosting Latino enrollment, performance and graduation. Celebrating its 10th year, Examples of Excelenciawas inspired by then-First Lady Hillary Clinton’s 1999 convening on Latino Youth, a historic, first-ever White House gathering that resulted in the publication, “What Works for Latino Youth.” To mark this year’s anniversary, Clinton produced a special video tribute that premiered during today’s program.

“As one of this year’s finalists, BLCI is at the forefront, improving higher educational achievement for Latino students, and we congratulate them for their current and continued efforts,” said Sarita Brown, president of Excelencia in Education. “By increasing awareness of top programs like this, informing program strategies, and reinforcing investment in what works, Examples of Excelencia is creating new energy and inspiring a network of action-oriented leaders to discover and implement innovations that are effective with Latino and other post-traditional students.”

To download “What Works for Latino Student Success in Higher Education,” which includes detailed information about all of the programs recognized today, visit www.EdExcelencia.org

“We remain committed to advancing what works to support educators, community leaders, funders, and policymakers to take an asset-based approach to serving Latino students,” said Deborah Santiago, COO and Vice President of Excelencia in Education and author of the publication. Launched in 2004 in the nation’s capital, Excelencia is building a network of results-oriented educators and policymakers to address the U.S. economy’s need for a highly educated workforce and engaged civic leadership.

LONDON, UK – 25 Sep, 2015 – Carbon Clean Solutions Limited (CCSL), which was recently included in the World Economic Forum’s list of the 49 most promising global Technology Pioneers of 2015, has signed contract with Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM). TCM is the world’s largest and most advanced carbon capture facility for testing and improving carbon capture. CCSL also announced that its test campaign at TCM could start as early as November this year. CCSL’s chemical solvents can remove up to 50% more CO2 with the same energy requirement, thereby reducing the size of equipment and energy demand. Tests to date have shown CCSL’s technology to have significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced solvent loss and degradation than its competitors, minimizing overall operating costs. The company is now demonstrating its technology at TCM to generate long-term testing data at full-scale carbon capture.

Roy Vardheim, Managing Director of TCM, says: “TCM has been playing a vital role in the development of CCS technologies since 2012, helping companies like Aker, Alstom and Shell Cansolv to test and reduce the costs and risks of scaling-up carbon capture. These new test campaigns represent a new milestone in the commercialisation of this vital climate technology.”

Aniruddha Sharma, CEO of CCSL, says: “Use of ineffective amines across the industry is the root cause of high corrosion, high energy demand and solvent loss, and our drop-in solvent technology has the potential to dramatically reduce this. Having demonstrated the technology at pilot scale at the National Carbon Capture Centre, USA, we believe that this demonstration with TCM can bring the technology to commercial readiness.”

About Technology Centre Mongstad:

Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) is the world’s largest and most advanced facility for testing and improving CO₂ capture. TCM is a joint venture set up by the Norwegian state (75.12%), Statoil (20%), Shell (2.44%) and Sasol (2.44%). It aims to increase knowledge on carbon capture technologies, in order to reduce technical and financial risk, and accelerate the development of qualified technologies capable of wide scale international deployment.

The centre comprises two CO₂ capture plants each with a capacity to capture approximately 80,000 tons of CO₂ from the nearby refinery or 20,000 tons from a gas fired power plant. In addition the center has available space and infrastructure to sustain the next generation technologies to be tested in the future.

More information on TCM can be found at www.tcmda.com
