of Saturday’s ordinations to the sacred priesthood of Father Joshua Fons and Father Riley O’Shea at Saint Mary Cathedral in Lansing as both men received a very direct challenge from Bishop Earl Boyea to “preach Jesus Christ
“The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,” said Bishop Boyea during his homily
who has been spoken to you from before you were born
that same Word who has commanded you to speak
and that powerful Word who has touched your mouth.”
Father Joshua Fons hails from the parish of Christ the King in Ann Arbor
He was educated at Saint John Vianney Seminary
Father Riley O’Shea is a son of Saint Michael parish in Grand Ledge
He was educated at Michigan State University
We are priests forever!” proclaimed the newly ordained Father Fons to the congregation in his vote of thanks
“Jesus today has invited us to share in a particular way in his priestly identity
we need your prayers now probably more than ever.”
Among those concelebrating Holy Mass at Saturday's ordination were Father Charles Fox
Vice Rector of Sacred Heart Major Seminary; Father Jim Olofson
Vice Rector of Saint John Vianney Seminary; as well as dozens of priests from across the Diocese of Lansing including
93-year-old Bishop Emeritus Carl Mengeling
Father O’Shea was vested in his priestly chasuble by Father Ken Coughlin
Pastor of Saint Charles & Helena in Clio
Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries at the Diocese of Duluth
Father O’Shea now becomes a Parochial Vicar at Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish and Saint John Church and Student Center
while Father Fons becomes Parochial Vicar at Saint Patrick in Brighton
We are all invited to consider carefully the nature of the order to which these
Jesus also chose his apostles to be his sacramental presence for building up the Body of Christ in service to all of us
These apostles and those subsequently ordained after them are configured to Jesus the High Priest
they are able to offer the Lord’s sacrifice on our behalf to the Heavenly Father
You have chosen three readings for our reflection today which address three aspects of your priestly ministry: the Word in Jeremiah
let us look at the power of the Word in our life and ministry
The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us
and that powerful Word who has touched your mouth
then that task of opening the door to others in order for them to come to faith now falls to you
Let not the opportunity for another human being to receive the gift of faith be lost by your negligence in proclaiming Jesus Christ
it is more than merely proclaiming words about the Word
I know this does not describe you at this point
but as you look ahead never let your words be hollow
may your words always be the Word whom you have accepted as your Lord and with whom you have an ever-deeper friendship
growing in that relationship with Jesus from today forward
will be signs of the power and blessing of Christ’s Lordship in your own hearts and thus an appeal to the hearts of all men and women
Then your words announcing the Word will be rich
It is not that of those who built the Tower of Babel so long ago wanting to make a name for themselves
it is Christ within us who impels us to speak himself to the world
Christ sent me “to preach the Gospel” (I Cor 1:17)
and woe to me if I do not preach it” (9:16)
we should always first speak thanks to God and praise to Him for his gift in our lives
let us expand our horizons regarding this Word of God
We will end up speaking far more words in contexts other than that of the Worship of God
on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak
and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37)
but it was always very clear to him that these were indeed the words God wanted him to speak
As God told Jeremiah in our reading today: “To whomever I send you
Let us not be careless then about what we say
James (3:1-12) warns us of the great power of the tongue
We know that we cannot pull back a harsh word that has been uttered
so we should never be idle about our speech
are always at the beck and call of the one who has touched our mouths
Let us always think and pray first and may our intentions be formed by the prayer of Samuel
May God be as pleased with you as he always is with Jesus
But always live out what was told you are your Diaconate Ordination: “Receive the Gospel of Christ
and practice what you teach.” May I this day
imitate our Lord and also model this service to you as I wash your feet

floating wind turbines and green hydrogen are all examples of renewable energies that remain underdeveloped in comparison with solar and onshore wind power or hydroelectricity
The Group is investing heavily in the research and development of these emerging renewable energies in a drive to create channels of industrial production in line with its carbon neutrality targets
According to the International Energy Agency
three-quarters of the efforts made to cut greenhouse gas emissions will have to come from immature technologies1
R&D is playing a crucial role in the emergence of these “new” renewables
the Group spends €190 million on R&D and employs more than 900 researchers in this activity
Our corporate R&D centres are focussing on green gas and green electricity technologies
which are both essential resources to reach carbon neutrality of our energy system
Every one of these resources is perceived as a global
sustainable and profitable energy solution for our customers.
“Working on a variety of technologies related to energy production, transport, storage and use is crucial.” Dr. Jan Mertens, Scientific Director, ENGIE Research (Report on Emerging Sustainable Technologies)
These major scientific advances are creating opportunities to recover this type of waste by developing new industrial solutions.
which consists of producing synthetic hydrogen or methane from excess renewable electricity
and then re-injecting it into the natural gas network at the request of our customers
Power-to-gas was successfully tested in the field between 2018 and 2020 in northern France by our GRHYD project
We succeeded in decarbonizing the gas in the distribution network of a housing estate in Dunkirk by injecting a variable portion of between 0% and 20% of hydrogen.
This breakthrough will then be developed quickly on several continents. Finally, the ENGIE Lab CRIGEN is also conducting ambitious research into the use of liquid renewable hydrogen to decarbonize heavy transport, starting with shipping
which uses heavy fuel oil that produces high levels of greenhouse gas emissions
A first pilot project will be launched in 2024
followed by deployment in ports and airports
ENGIE is leading the way in the development of industrial channels of production of the emerging renewable energies that are essential to achieving carbon neutrality
together with the “mature” renewable energies

Today is the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary
a feast established in 2018 by Pope Francis to be celebrated every year upon the Monday following Pentecost
the Church specifically recalls Mary's reception of the Holy Spirit with the Apostles at Pentecost
as well as her desire to protect all who come to her Son in His Holy Church,” says Father David Fons
“The many mysteries of Jesus' life that Mary pondered were brought to full understanding in her heart at Pentecost
As the Church was fully established in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
strengthening the Lord's followers to believe in and to proclaim the Gospel
the Blessed Mother was there as the foremost example of what it means to fully say yes to Jesus.”
devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of “Mother of the Church” is very ancient
who studied canon law at the Angelicum University in Rome
recalls how one of his favorite places to pray during his time in the Eternal City was the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major
“Above the altar in the large and very beautiful side chapel is the ancient image of Mary and Child called by the Salus Populi Romani or “Health
countless Romans and pilgrims have sought Our Lady’s favor for the wellbeing of the city of Rome and of the whole Church.”
Pope Francis said he wished to “encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the Church in the pastors
as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety”
“Our new feast day is an invitation for each of us to receive more from Mary's example of holiness and from the grace of her Son that she offers us,” says Father Fons
"Let us not be afraid to ask her prayers for ourselves and for the whole Church: O Mary
pray for us that we might be made worthy of the promises of your Son!”
May you and your loved ones have a very happy and holy feast day
is the Feast of Saint Dominic (1170 – 1221)
Father David Fons is the Pastor of Saint Mary in Williamston and also a member of the recently established Michigan Chapter of the Priestly Order of Saint Dominic which enables diocesan priests to participate in the life and charism of the Dominican Order
a great model of joyful evangelization and constant prayer,” said Father Fons
“He united both of those things in his order: the joy of the Gospel
and that means we have to be very dedicated to the study and love of the Scriptures
“They say that Dominic was joyful during the day and would stay up praying through the night – that’s is something for us all to aspire to and to strive for: that combination of the way the Gospel changes you and
the way in which we want to know more and pass that on.”
Dominic Guzman founded the Order of Preachers about the year 1215
His new order was endowed with two characteristics; instead of manual labor
Dominic required his friars to work with their minds by preaching and teaching
The first Dominicans were instrumental in rolling back the influence of the neo-Manichean heresy of Albigensianism

the GAYA semi-industrial Research & Development platform took a historic step forward in the production of renewable gas on 17 November 2021
Supported by the French agency for ecological transition ADEME
the GAYA platform is in line with the targets set by the French Law on Energy Transition for Green Growth
which aims for a 50% reduction in the quantity of waste going to landfill by 2025 compared with 2010 and a 30% reduction in fossil fuel consumption in 2030 compared with 2012
with a view to preserving the environment and strengthening France’s energy independence
It contributes directly to the ENGIE Group’s purpose
“to act to accelerate the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy
through reduced energy consumption and more environmentally friendly solutions”
A year after successfully producing biomethane from forest biomass
the GAYA platform achieved a world first and took a historic step forward with the production of its first cubic metres of renewable gas from Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF)
In the absence of dedicated recycling channels
this type of fuel is mostly made up of waste wood
cardboard and plastic resulting from economic activities
ENGIE’s demonstrator has validated the integrated operation of the entire chain of innovative technologies under industrial conditions
This configuration maximises the production of renewable gas
we have made major scientific advances in the development and industrialisation of renewable gas production sectors
The platform model contributes to the energy transition with the production of renewable gas and to the circular economy by making use of waste that until now was destined for landfill
The tests carried out using SRF show that we now know how to produce renewable gas from this type of waste,” says Adeline Duterque
the Corporate Group’s Research & Development centre.
Construction of a first industrial unit in Le Havre could begin in 2023
ENGIE plans to build a first industrial unit in Le Havre
this will allow 70,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year to be used to produce up to 150 GWh of renewable gas
equivalent to the consumption of 670 urban buses
the multi-energy process will allow production of 45 GWh of renewable heat to meet urban and industrial needs
the GAYA chain is positioned as the channel of reference for making use of non-recyclable waste to produce a storable renewable gas
which can substitute for natural gas and as such has multiple end uses: sustainable mobility

10 patents filed by the GAYA platform since 2011
ENGIE’s GAYA R&D platform is supported by the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME)
The process we have developed is in line with our corporate purpose
firstly because it reduces the quantity of non-recyclable waste going to landfill
and secondly because it reduces consumption of fossil energy sources by offering a renewable
storable4 gas which can substitute for natural gas and
or energy supply for industry and the tertiary sector
Non-hazardous waste from economic activities is prepared
thus becoming Solid Recovered Fuel according to the standards in force
This is then gasified at very high temperature to produce synthesis gas with high calorific value
The synthesis gas resulting from this first conversion is then purified to transform it into biomethane using a catalytic methanation process.4
With a 30% reduction in fossil fuel consumption in 2030 (compared with 2012)
and a 50% reduction in the quantity of waste going to landfill by 2025 (compared with 2010)

Belgian chemical producer Solvay plans to increase its European capacity for hydroquinone by 20%
with the new capability to be in place by the second quarter of this year
Solvay said the upgrade taking place at its Saint-Fons
is designed to enhance the security of supply on three continents and meet increasing demand for diphenol inhibitors used as additives by the monomers industry
to be achieved through debottlenecking an existing production facility
follows a recent capacity increase at the group’s Zhenjian
Saint-Fons is home to one of the three plants that comprise Solvay’s global inhibitor production network across Europe
it can produce monomethyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ)
tertiary butyl-catechol (TBC) and phenothiazine (PTZ)
Hydroquinone is key to process safety, transport and storage for monomer inhibition but also as a monomer itself in polymer and coatings applications
president of the chemical group’s Aroma Performance global business unit
said the European capacity increase will allow Solvay to continue to reliably supply its full range of monomer inhibitors to meet long-term needs for hydroquinone in all major regions

Project will eventually prevent the emission of 84 kilotons of CO2 each year
Transport/Aerospace, Industrial
Leading producer of engineered polyamide fibres and engineered materials Domo Chemicals is partnering with Hynamics
a 100% subsidiary of EDF Group specialising in the production of low-carbon hydrogen
The objective is to achieve zero-carbon for 100% of the hydrogen used at the Belle-Étoile industrial site
in Saint-Fons near Lyon in the heart of the French Vallée de la Chimie (Chemistry Valley)
the HyDom project will enable the installation of an 85-megawatt hydrogen production plant using the water electrolysis process at the Belle-Étoile site
with a production capacity of 11,000 metric tons of low-carbon hydrogen per year
The plant will be powered by the low-carbon electric power mix
it will supply 100% of the annual production of hexamethylene diamine
a key component used in the production of polyamide
The project will eventually prevent the emission of 84 kilotons of CO2 each year
will be used in various applications in major industry sectors
The location in the Vallée de la Chimie within the vicinity of major transport routes opens up opportunities for the creation of a more complete hydrogen ecosystem
The first phase of the project will consist of building up and ascertaining technical concepts and integrating the low-carbon hydrogen production plant within the larger production process of hexamethylene diamine
Considering the high-power scale of the future facility
the HyDom project is being developed in close collaboration with RTE (an organisation in charge of managing the French power grid)
As a priority project for the industry’s zero-carbon strategy and for the France 2030 investment plan
HyDom is supported by the French government and has been presented to the European Commission for public funding
“In line with the goals set out in the France 2030 investment plan for a resilient and decarbonised industrial sector
Hynamics is proud to support leading hydrogen-consuming industrialists in their decarbonisation efforts,” said Hynamics CEO Christelle Rouillé
“The scope of the project launched in partnership with Domo Chemicals reflects our expertise in developing industrial electrolytic hydrogen production projects with a strong environmental impact
In replacing the unit that currently produces hydrogen from natural gas
our project represents an important step towards industrial sovereignty and reaching our climate objectives.”

Conducts trials with German machinery maker Kroenert to validate performance of recycled silicone
France – Elkem Silicones has launched two 100% recycled silicone-based additions to its release liner Silcolease range
Silcolease RE Poly 11362 and Silcolease RE Poly 368 are now available for pre-commercial sales and are solvent-free products based on fully recycled silicones
offer “superior carbon profiles and deliver identical technical performance to their non-recycled counterparts.”
They are the first commercial products from Elkem’s chemical recycling pilot unit in Saint Fons, France. (ERJ report)
The products deliver “the same non-stick properties and easy release of self-adhesive materials [that] our customers expect from us,” said Agnes Jolly
head of research & technology for silicone fluids at Elkem
The company said it has conducted “extensive tests and trials” to ensure a seamless integration into existing processes
Elkem carried out trials with German machinery maker Kroenert GmbH & Co KG earlier in the year to validate the performance of the recycled silicone
demonstrated “the same processing capabilities as virgin ones
even when running at high processing speed.”
The materials were developed using Elkem’s depolymerisation technology and are claimed to have a 70% lower carbon footprint compared to their non-recycled counterparts
