Company to Demonstrate New Lighting Innovations for Illumination, Sensing, and LiFi Communications at its All Digital CES Event, January 12 - 15, 2021
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CES2021--SLD Laser, a world leader in commercialization of laser light sources, has announced the production launch of the world’s first dual emission white light and infrared (IR) LaserLightTM source for automotive and consumer lighting, night vision illumination, precision long-range sensing beyond 250 meters, and high-speed LiFi communications faster than 20 gigabit per second. The company will demonstrate this pioneering innovation and its expanded, award-winning LaserLight product line during its virtual All Digital CES event exhibition and application showcase, January 12-15, 2021.
White/IR dual emission sources are critical for automotive lighting, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous vehicle LiDAR 3D sensing, as well as mobility applications including avionics, drones, railway, and marine. Additionally, dual emission sources are required for consumer and professional product portable lighting products, night vision illuminators, and rangefinders for recreation and outdoor, search & rescue, and security applications. SLD’s new source delivers high brightness white light with 1 km beam distance, while independently producing IR illumination from the same emission spot to achieve ranging to more than 250 meters with 1% accuracy.

Instrument detects emissions invisible to other equipment in real time
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Southwest Research Institute has expanded its capability to evaluate internal combustion engine aftertreatment catalysts, integrating an existing SwRI technology with a mass spectrometer. To meet emission regulations, engine manufacturers install aftertreatment systems to treat exhaust and reduce harmful pollutants escaping into the environment. Aftertreatment system components undergo stringent testing to ensure they effectively decrease pollutants. SwRI is bolstering the testing process by incorporating a mass spectrometer, enabling a broader range of aftertreatment performance evaluations in real time.
A mass spectrometer identifies a molecule by analyzing its mass-to-charge ratio, detecting chemicals invisible to other instruments. Researchers added the mass spectrometer to SwRI’s Universal Synthetic Gas Reactor (USGR®), a catalyst performance testing solution that incorporates a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, which uses IR radiation to identify and quantify molecules present in a gas sample. Different chemical structures absorb light at specific wavelengths, producing unique spectral fingerprints. The combination of technologies provides simultaneous FTIR and mass spectrometry data, allowing accurate and rapid identification of exhaust stream components.
“We integrated a mass spectrometer with the USGR system to overcome the limitations of the FTIR spectrometer, which cannot monitor chemicals that are infrared inactive like dinitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen,” said Dr. Grant Seuser, a postdoctoral researcher in SwRI’s Powertrain Engineering Division who led the project. “The mass spectrometer can detect a broader range of exhaust components, allowing a more complete picture of aftertreatment system performance.”
The FTIR monitors pollutants, while the mass spectrometer detects hydrogen, oxygen and dinitrogen formation, providing data to build comprehensive scientific models of the catalyst. The merger of the technologies enables testing of three-way catalysts in real time.
“Real-time information is important,” Seuser said. “Emission regulations are based on the total amount of pollution emitted. When we are testing equipment that controls emissions, we not only need to know how much pollution is leaving the tail pipe, but also exactly when it is emitted. Real-time monitoring helps us identify problems faster.”
The successful integration of a mass spectrometer with the USGR system has widened the scope of testing possibilities beyond aftertreatment systems. Other uses include measuring engine emissions directly, monitoring chemical processes, environmental monitoring, battery testing and much more. SwRI offers the specialized evaluation and development services to a range of clients, including engine, vehicle and catalyst manufacturers.

To stay competitive, suppliers should consider zero-emissions vehicles and low carbon fuels
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Biofuels--A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the corporate trend toward climate action planning and provides recommendations for logistics suppliers to retain a competitive edge.
Corporations are responding to consumer and employee demands for more sustainable products and services with ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. At the same time, zero emissions solutions in transportation are becoming more viable: EVs powered by renewables are poised to take over urban delivery markets and passenger transport, and fuel cell and battery electric truck makers are preparing solutions for long-haul trucking. A variety of other zero-emissions, low carbon, and even negative-emissions solutions are also emerging. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, logistics suppliers should expect corporate clients to push strongly for decarbonization—and be prepared to respond.
“Leading suppliers are expected to find innovative ways to deploy and use low carbon and zero-emissions technologies to meet new client demands related to decarbonizing supply chains,” says Scott Shepard, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Slower-to-act suppliers risk losing business to the innovative suppliers or to more emissions-efficient modes of transportation, such as rail.”
For suppliers looking to meet client demands, Guidehouse Insights recommends planning for an all-electric fleet and increasing the visibility of fleet emissions performance data. Suppliers should also take an inventory of local biofuel options and identify untapped biofuel feedstocks. Additionally, Guidehouse Insights recommends investing gradually and sharing costs with stakeholders.
The report, Climate Action Plans Driving Logistics Decarbonization, covers the corporate trend toward climate action planning and the many ways in which logistics suppliers can respond to client demands. The report includes an assessment of methods for switching to non-diesel fuels, an evaluation of the fuels and vehicles best positioned for the switch, and recommendations for identifying emissions-savings opportunities with legacy vehicles and infrastructure. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Geopolitical Instability Such as Chinese Naval Expansionism Driving Evolution Across the Global Naval Command and Control Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
A command and control (C2) system provides information to maritime decision-makers by generating meaningful output pertinent to their operational requirements and mission objectives. If a sensor package identifies a threat, it is relayed to the C2 system, accounting for environmental data from other systems. The C2 system displays and processes all information, relaying it to and from weapon systems, so that the ship may engage optimally and eliminate a threat appropriately.
This report divides C2 systems into two segments: command management systems and combat management systems. A command management system is the overarching C2 system that will display and manage information from a variety of subsystems to inform decisions. The combat management system is used in conjunction with the command management system to track, assess, and engage threats.
This global research service investigates changing concepts in operations, whilst covering wider geopolitical and market drivers and restraints. A discussion is provided for current technological trends and developments within the global C2 market that readers should be aware off.
C2 systems will evolve as maritime systems become more autonomous; fewer naval personnel will be needed with the proliferation of unmanned systems. Increasingly, naval warfare will take place across a multi-domain battlespace with further integration of air, maritime, and land-based C2 domains.
New weapon systems are driving developments in C2 requirements, such as directed energy weapons, railguns, and hypersonic systems. These systems will need to be integrated into current C2 systems, which will have to manage the increased power requirements. Hypersonics is predominantly driving the requirement for C2 systems to be linked across domains and countries in order to engage through other systems' sensors.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whiting Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: WLL) (“Whiting” or the “Company”) today announced its 2021 capital, operating costs and production guidance, reflecting an operating plan focused on delivering sustainable free cash flow.
2021 Guidance Highlights
Commenting on the operational plan, Lynn A. Peterson, President and CEO of Whiting, said “We believe Whiting is well positioned financially and operationally as we enter 2021. We exited 2020 with $360 million of revolver debt, providing $390 million of liquidity. With this 2021 capital program we anticipate holding production flat on an annual average, as compared to our 2020 exit levels. We have protected our capital program by hedging the prices of approximately 60% of our expected crude oil volumes. With additional contractual arrangements, we’ve taken steps to further mitigate the potential for wider differentials in the Williston Basin while ensuring flow of our crude oil production. We expect 2021 wellhead deducts for oil to be similar compared to what we realized in the second half of 2020 with potential variability resulting from possible transportation disruptions. The 2021 program is designed to generate significant free cash flow, which will be used to pay down revolver debt and provide liquidity to look for opportunities.”
Commenting on Whiting’s anticipated pay-for-performance framework, Mr. Peterson added “we continue to make changes to our compensation structure with the goal of aligning our executive pay with shareholder interests. Our variable compensation will be heavily performance weighted and equity will comprise a larger part of the total compensation package.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BayoTech, Inc. (“BayoTech”), a global leader in on-site hydrogen production, today announced it has received an equity investment of up to $157 million from Newlight Partners LP (“Newlight”), a growth equity investor, with participation from existing investors Cottonwood Technology Funds, Sun Mountain Capital and new investor Fortistar. The proceeds will be used to accelerate BayoTech’s strategic growth through product development, project development and infrastructure expansion.
BayoTech is an energy solutions company committed to addressing the global need for consistent, cost-effective, low-carbon supply of hydrogen. Hydrogen possesses many attributes that will drive long-term demand as a fuel source, including its role in global decarbonization efforts. Today, most hydrogen is produced at large, centralized facilities before being delivered to end users. BayoTech, through its on-site hydrogen generators and “Gas-as-a-Service” offering, reduces or eliminates transportation and storage costs, which result in less energy wasted and a lower carbon footprint than traditional hydrogen production technology and electrolyzer-based systems. The company’s modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable hydrogen production systems require lower upfront capital commitments, streamlined siting and installation and, when paired with renewable natural gas (“RNG”), offer the most cost-effective green hydrogen available today.
BayoTech’s hydrogen generation systems produce local hydrogen close to the application. This saves customers money and reduces the carbon intensity associated with the legacy challenges of liquifying and transporting hydrogen. This allows BayoTech to serve a diverse set of end users, including traditional consumers in the industrial gas and chemicals industries, as well as those using hydrogen to power the fast-growing fuel cell segment.
“This is an exciting day in our company’s evolution. This investment will enable BayoTech to drive commercial growth aggressively so that consumers around the world can have access to low cost, low/zero-carbon hydrogen today,” said Mo Vargas, BayoTech’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Having previously worked with Newlight, I have experienced firsthand the strategic resources and value they bring to their partners as well as their team’s ability to understand and invest in new markets. We have a shared vision of where we want BayoTech to go and the tremendous opportunity that the company has in the hydrogen sector. We also welcome Fortistar, who has experience building almost 400 fueling stations and are in the middle of a $400 million capital investment program to produce over 100 million gas gallon equivalents of RNG, which will accelerate the deployment of BayoTech generation sites. We are very appreciative of the continued support from Cottonwood and Sun Mountain as well. They have been amazing partners over BayoTech's 5-year journey.”
“Advances in fuel cell technology are driving demand for hydrogen in emerging applications, including in the materials handling, mobility and power sectors, where demand tends to be more distributed. BayoTech’s innovative approach to on-site hydrogen generation ensures that these end users, who are not well-served by the incumbent industrial gas players, are able to get on-demand hydrogen at a competitive price,” said Mark Longstreth, Partner at Newlight. “We are proud to be partnering alongside Mo and his talented team at BayoTech to support the company’s growth and bolster its position as a leading provider of sustainable and cost-effective hydrogen solutions as the global energy sector transitions to a less carbon-intensive future.”
Wendy Rollstin, BayoTech’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “The new capital follows a year of significant growth for BayoTech, which announced agreements for hydrogen development projects with HYZON Motors, IGas Energy, Nutrien, and others, as well as filing four new patents in 2020. This investment will enable BayoTech to enhance our commercialization efforts, expand our product offerings to meet the needs of our customers seeking to promote their sustainability goals, and continue to innovate.”
About BayoTech
BayoTech is a hydrogen generation technology company offering hydrogen production solutions through rentals, leases, sales and gas-as-as-service to customers worldwide. Headquartered and produced in New Mexico, USA, BayoTech’s on-site hydrogen generators are more efficient than legacy steam methane reformers, leading to lower carbon emissions and low-cost hydrogen.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This is to advise you that BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE Symbol: BPT) announces that the dividend information for the Fourth Quarter of 2020 is as follows:
Ex-Dividend Date: |
January 14, 2021 |
Record Date: |
January 15, 2021 |
Payable Date: |
January 20, 2021 |
|
|
Dividend Rate: |
$0.0000000 per Unit* |
*Actual average daily production for the quarter was 75,382 BBLS. |
|
As provided in the Trust Agreement of the Trust, the quarterly royalty payment by Hilcorp North Slope, LLC (formerly BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.) to the Trust is the sum of the individual revenues attributed to the Trust as calculated each day during the quarter. The amount of such revenues is obtained by multiplying Royalty Production for each day in the calendar quarter by the Per Barrel Royalty for that day. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Per Barrel Royalty for any day is the WTI Price for the day less the sum of (i) Chargeable Costs multiplied by the Cost Adjustment Factor and (ii) Production Taxes. As discussed in Item 1A “RISK FACTORS”, of the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, on January 1, 2020, the “break-even” WTI price (the price at which all taxes and prescribed deductions are equal to the WTI price) for the Trust to receive a positive Per Barrel Royalty with respect to a particular day’s production was $54.34. While the average fourth quarter 2020 WTI price increased to $42.66 from an average of $40.87 for the third quarter of 2020, moving within a range of approximately $36 to $49 per barrel, the daily WTI price was below the “break-even” point for each day of the quarter. This resulted in a negative value for the payment calculation for the fourth quarter of 2020. However, as provided in the Trust Agreement, the payment with respect to the Royalty Interest for any calendar quarter may not be less than zero.
Neither the Trust nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Trust’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and all of the Trust’s other filings with the SEC. The Trust’s annual, quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Focus is Now on Graphite Development
Company Anticipates $4 Million Annual Cost Reduction
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$WWR #uranium--Westwater Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: WWR), a battery graphite development company, today announced the sale of all of its uranium assets located in New Mexico and Texas to enCore Energy Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a Toronto Venture Exchange-listed company (TSXV:EU). Total consideration accruing to Westwater from the deal is $1.8 million in enCore shares (2,571,598 shares), representing a 1.5% ownership of enCore, and two royalties from future production from the New Mexico uranium properties. enCore also assumed the asset retirement obligation on all remaining uranium reclamation activities associated with the assets in the amount of approximately $6.0 million. All performance bonds for the Texas uranium properties have been transferred to enCore as of December 31, 2020, as well as the release of $742,642 in restricted cash collateral to Westwater as a result of the transfer of the performance bonds. Westwater is retaining its uranium interests in the Republic of Turkey, which are subject to an ongoing international arbitration proceeding.
Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westwater said, “We are happy to place these uranium assets in the hands of a company like enCore where they can be developed further as part of a larger, consolidated land position. With over $50 million in our treasury, Westwater can now devote its full focus, attention and resources on advancing our battery-grade graphite product business. At the same time, we expect to free-up over $4 million per year for the next several years in land payments, reclamation expenses and operating costs associated with the uranium properties – money that can be used for our Coosa Graphite Project.”
“The Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama is perfectly timed to take advantage of the advances in the electrification of our transportation system and in the grid electricity storage for renewable energy, both here in the United States and the rest of the world. These systems need graphite as a critical component – and our development plan puts battery-grade graphite in the marketplace in FY2021 and accelerates Westwater’s path to cash flow in FY2023. Completing the transformation of the Company from its uranium past to its graphite future is good for business and provides value for our shareholders.”
Pilot Plant Update
Westwater has been conducting integrated pilot operations to obtain battery-grade purified graphite and demonstrate that advanced graphite products can be produced from purified graphite. These pilot operations are expected to provide detailed design parameters for a full-scale production facility, construction of which is anticipated to begin in late 2021, with commissioning and startup expected to follow in late 2022. To date, pilot operations have achieved the following:
Aspects of the pilot operations are expected to run through the second quarter of 2021 and provide important data to inform the Bankable Feasibility Study, which is expected to be completed mid-year 2021, and continue to produce quantities of battery-grade graphite for customer tests. Look for updates during the first and second quarters on this important project, which is running in Germany, New York and Illinois.
