USE CASE BACKGROUND

  • 1.5M+ invoices and $12B in annualized invoice value paid without a mechanism to ensure alignment with negotiated terms
  • Leadership recognized there was a potential free cash flow impact but did not have the means necessary to quantify and target the issues
  • When the analysis for payment terms was built out, the team went into action to understand the impact and quantify the size of the prize

IMPACT & OUTCOMES

  • Using Celonis’ process mining capabilities, we enabled our client to identify key vendors that did not reflect the proper payment terms
  • We developed a Celonis action flow which targeted payment term misalignments by sending a weekly report of invoices for review and corrective action

“With the support of the Celonis tool we were able to proactively quantify, prioritize, and update any term mismatches in our systems that did not properly reflect current vendor master terms. Moving forward the tool will continue to help me capture any future unnecessary cash leakage in regards to term disconnect and action prior to payment.” Director Global Procurement, Fortune 500 CPG

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Ship Hull Inspection Services Market Report and Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global ship hull inspection services market attained a value of around USD 12457 Million in 2021. Aided by the growing demand for new ships and operations, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% between 2022 and 2027 to reach nearly USD 14531 Million by 2027.

Ship hull inspection services assess the damage and corrosion in the ship's hull for the ship's operators and owners and other agencies, like insurance companies and government agencies. The rising ship repair and maintenance supply chains, growing demand for new ships and operations, expanding sea routes as a result of recent economic booms, and increased vessel construction are contributing to the market's expansion.

During the forecast period, the demand for ship repair and maintenance is expected to continue to climb. Industry service providers are offering non-destructive testing in order to obtain connections from ship owners or operations, which is assisting the market's expansion. Also, the regions in shipping and maritime applications are continuing to rise as the number of key players has increased significantly, thus propelling the industry's expansion.

Ship owners, customers, government agencies, and insurance companies benefit from the advancement in ship hull inspection services, which now include fully automated ultrasonic scanning examination. This has increased the demand for ship hull inspection services and reduced the future spending on costly repairs.

Drones have recently been tried for shipping hull inspection savvies in Japan, which is a current trend. Unmanned vehicles for ship hull inspection and vessel maintenance have been developed by leading Japanese companies. The use of such equipment minimises the number of divers needed for hull surveys and repairs. In addition to that, software providers offer solutions for monitoring the condition of a ship's hull and other machinery. This has further supported in the growth of the global ship hull inspection services market.

HANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alipay Ant Forest, a green initiative in the Alipay app that encourages users to make low-carbon lifestyle choices, introduced a new option for users to contribute to the restoration of coastal ecosystems.



“By introducing this new option, we are confident that Alipay Ant Forest can play its role as a green platform to encourage more users to participate in not only reforestation and biodiversity conservation, but also marine conservation efforts,” said Cheng Jiang, head of Alipay Ant Forest.

Previously, when users made low-carbon lifestyle choices either through the Alipay app or products or services provided by Alipay Ant Forest’s brand partners, they earned virtual “green energy points“ that could be used to support tree-planting or biodiversity conservation projects operated by Alipay Ant Forest’s environmental partners. Ant Group provides funding for these user-made donations. The low-carbon lifestyle choices include paying utility bills online instead of requesting paper invoices, ordering food delivery with the “no disposable cutlery” and “no plastic packaging” options checked, and purchasing energy efficient home appliances from partner brands.

With this new additional option, users can convert their “green energy points” to grow virtual aquatic plants such as seaweed and eelgrass. Alipay Ant Forest matches these efforts by making donations to support coastal ecosystem restoration projects operated by environmental organizations.

As of August 2021, Alipay Ant Forest worked with over 100 brands and helped over 600 million users plant more than 326 million trees in some of China’s most arid regions, and joined hands with various environmental NGOs to provide shelter for over 1,500 species in 18 protected areas across the country.

In 2019, Alipay Ant Forest won the “UN Champions of the Earth” award – the United Nation’s highest environmental honor – for leveraging digital technology to inspire hundreds of millions of people to take greener actions in their daily lives. Alipay Ant Forest also won the 2019 UN Global Climate Action Award for using digital technologies to scale up climate action.

About Alipay

Alipay is the leading digital platform in China, serving hundreds of millions of users, and connecting them with merchants and partner financial institutions that offer inclusive financial services and digital daily life services such as food delivery, transport, entertainment, and healthcare.

Anaergia projects helped avoid ~41 times more emissions than what the Company’s operations produced

BURLINGTON, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company”) (TSX: ANRG) announced today it has released its 2021 Sustainability (ESG) Report. The Company completed its initial public offering in June of last year. The report highlights Anaergia’s ESG achievements for 2021, including a net total of 465,000 tonnes (CO2e) of greenhouse gas emissions that Anaergia projects helped avoid, which is about 41 times more than what the Company’s operations produced. The analysis includes estimated emissions avoided at facilities under Anaergia’s operational control, as well as third-party facilities commissioned since 2010 that operate using Anaergia’s technologies at design specification. The report also includes an overview of Anaergia’s social and governance practices.


Our inaugural report is focused on the ‘E’ in ESG, naturally, because our Company was created to address the climate crisis,” said Andrew Benedek, Chairman and CEO of Anaergia. “This report quantifies the effects of Anaergia’s technologies and projects, which address a leading cause of climate change – the problem of methane emissions from waste. We are turning this methane emissions problem on its head. Instead of allowing waste to cause climate change, we are using it to create a much-needed carbon-negative renewable fuel. Doing so can address about two-thirds of all point-source methane emissions.”

Other highlights from the report include:

  • Installed capacities since 2010:
    • Approximately 8 million tonnes per year of feedstock processing capacity
    • 5 million MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas (RNG) production capacity
    • 134 megawatts of renewable electricity generation capacity

Note: These capacities include Anaergia Build-Own-Operate (BOO) facilities that are in operation and in execution, as well as third-party facilities commissioned since 2010 that use Anaergia’s technology solutions at design specification

  • Invested nearly $400 million in clean energy infrastructure globally to date
  • Created 91 green jobs in 2021
  • Adopted seven new governance policies and codes

The report can be viewed and downloaded from the Company’s website via https://investors.anaergia.com/sustainability/.

About Anaergia

Anaergia was created to eliminate a major source of greenhouse gases by cost effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas (“RNG”), fertilizer and water, using proprietary technologies. With a proven track record from delivering world-leading projects on four continents, Anaergia is uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end solutions for extracting organics from waste, implementing high efficiency anaerobic digestion, upgrading biogas, producing fertilizer and cleaning water. Our customers are in the municipal solid waste, municipal wastewater, agriculture, and food processing industries. In each of these markets Anaergia has built many successful plants including some of the largest in the world. Anaergia owns and operates some of the plants it builds, and it also operates plants that are owned by its customers.

BitNile subsidiary, Digital Power Lending, agrees to purchase $12 million in Ecoark preferred stock


Ecoark subsidiary, Agora Digital, expects to deploy power capacity up to 78MW to power BitNile crypto miners

Ecoark to deploy significant capital to its subsidiary, White River, for oil drilling projects

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$AGH #Agora_Digital--BitNile Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: NILE), a diversified holding company (“BitNile” or the “Company”) today announced a strategic partnership and investment into Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (“Ecoark”) (NASDAQ: ZEST). BitNile’s subsidiary, Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”) has agreed to purchase $12,000,000 of a new series of convertible preferred stock of Ecoark, which will be paid no later than June 29, 2022. Pursuant to a mutually agreed upon use of proceeds, Ecoark intends to deploy significant proceeds via its subsidiary White River Holdings Corp. (“White River”) towards an oil drilling program across its cumulative 30,000 acres of active mineral leases at both shallow, intermediate, and deep levels. Ecoark will also deploy additional proceeds via its subsidiary Agora Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Agora Digital”) to provide BitNile with up to 78 megawatts (“MW”) of power within the State of Texas for digital asset mining capacity, subject to BitNile proceeding with this facility after having conducted the requisite due diligence. The Agora Digital power capacity would, if the project proceeds as presently anticipated, expedite BitNile’s recently announced plans to significantly expand its Bitcoin mining production capacity, including growing its number of deployed Bitcoin miners to 20,600, representing an expected mining production capacity of approximately 2.24 exahashes per second. Further details and transaction documents will be provided via regulatory filings at a later date in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

The Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault, III stated, “I’m very pleased to be partnering with Ecoark on this transaction and future business endeavors. I feel that the allocation of this $12,000,000 in capital to Ecoark will create significant shareholder value for both BitNile and Ecoark shareholders as White River attempts to extract its significant oil reserves from its mineral leased properties at historically high energy prices.” The Company’s Vice Chairman and CEO, William Horne, stated, “I feel that there are significant synergies between BitNile and Agora Digital where our cache of digital asset miners and Agora’s power capacity at extremely low power rates can expedite both businesses’ expansion and market share in the digital asset sector.”

Ecoark’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, Randy May, stated, “I am grateful to have met Todd Ault recently and to have worked so closely the last few weeks structuring this mutually beneficial transaction. I feel that there is a lot of untapped value within Ecoark across all of our subsidiaries that is not being currently realized by the market, and the BitNile investment and strategic partnership will greatly expedite the unlocking of that shareholder value.” Agora Digital’s CEO, Brad Hoagland, stated, “We are excited to be partnering with BitNile to further establish our company as the only power-centric digital asset company in the public market.”

U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Capabilities Office Selects BWXT to Manufacture and Deliver Project Pele Prototype Reactor to Idaho National Laboratory in 2024

LYNCHBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$BWXT--BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) will build the first advanced nuclear microreactor in the United States under a contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO). The Project Pele full-scale transportable microreactor prototype will be completed and delivered in 2024 for testing at the Idaho National Laboratory.



SCO has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop, prototype and demonstrate a transportable microreactor that can provide a resilient power source to the DoD for a variety of operational needs that have historically relied on fossil fuel deliveries and extensive supply lines. Transportable microreactors deliver clean, zero-carbon energy where and when it is needed in a variety of austere conditions for not only the DoD, but also potential commercial applications for disaster response and recovery, power generation at remote locations, and deep decarbonization initiatives.

The prototype will be built under a cost-type contract valued at approximately $300 million, depending on options selected, by BWXT Advanced Technologies LLC in facilities in Lynchburg, Virginia and Euclid, Ohio. Over the next two years, BWXT expects that approximately 120 employees will work on the project, including roughly 40 skilled trades, engineers and other positions that will be hired to support this effort and other projects.

“We are on a mission to design, build and test new nuclear technology to protect the environment while providing power, and we are thrilled with this competitively bid award after years of hard work by our design and engineering team,” said Joe Miller, BWXT Advanced Technologies LLC president. “The entire nuclear industry recognizes that advanced reactors are an important step forward to support growing power needs and significant carbon reduction imperatives.”

Safe Design

The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) will operate at a power level between 1 and 5 MWe and will be transportable in commercially available shipping containers. It will be powered by TRISO fuel, a specific design of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel that can withstand extreme heat and has very low environmental risks.

The transportable reactor core and associated control system is designed to maintain safety under all conditions, including transitional conditions throughout transport. The fuel has been tested and verified to temperatures far exceeding the operating conditions of the reactor.

The transportable design consists of multiple modules that contain the microreactor’s components in 20-foot long, ISO-compliant CONEX shipping containers. The reactor is designed to be safely and rapidly moved by road, rail, sea or air. The entire reactor system is designed to be assembled on-site and operational within 72 hours. Shut down, cool down, disconnection and removal for transport is designed to occur in less than seven days.

Team Members

A diverse team of experienced companies are joining BWXT to support delivery and successful operation of the Project Pele prototype. BWXT is the prime contract and integration lead, and is responsible for reactor module manufacture. Among the other companies playing key roles on the team are:

  • Northrop Grumman
  • Aerojet Rocketdyne
  • Rolls-Royce LibertyWorks
  • Torch Technologies, Inc.

Testing and Licensing

The reactor and fuel will be safely shipped separately, with fueling to occur at the test site. Once fueled, the system will undergo up to three years of testing at Idaho National Laboratory to confirm performance and operability. The test program will demonstrate that the reactor can produce reliable off-grid electric power. Power generated by the reactor will be transferred to load banks that accurately mimic the operational load that a power source would see in actual application. In addition, the system will be disassembled and re-assembled to prove transportability.

Consistent with the non-commercial nature of the project, testing and operation of this prototype reactor will proceed under authorization by the Department of Energy. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, consistent with its role as an independent safety and security regulator, is participating in this project to provide SCO with accurate, current information on applicable regulations and licensing processes.

Forward Looking Statement

BWXT cautions that this release contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the performance, timing, impact and value, to the extent contract value can be viewed as an indicator of future revenues, of the SCO contract, future work with SCO, or the exercise of any contract options. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, modification or termination of the contract, funding of current or future work, and delays in and proving the technology. If one or more of these or other risks materialize, actual results may vary materially from those expressed. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors, please see BWXT’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. BWXT cautions not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release, and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except to the extent required by applicable law.

WEX’s Esso Card™ is now available to public sector organisations that fall under the framework for the first time

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WEX (NYSE: WEX), the global commerce platform specialising in simplifying the business of running a business and well-known provider of fuel cards, has announced that it has been accepted onto the UK’s Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework for the first time.



The inclusion on the CCS RM6186 (Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI) framework means WEX’s Esso Card™ — which allows payment for fuel at Esso, Shell and BP branded service stations — is now available to the public sector organisations that fall under the framework.

Additionally, a supplementary card is also available which offers access to more fuel stations including Texaco and Jet as well as supermarket fuel stations, like Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsburys. This means that the combined WEX offering provides access to more than 6,300 branded fuel stations across the UK, covering 75% of the petrol stations in the UK.

“This is a significant moment for our business to engage in this sector and one that is integral to our growth strategy. Bringing this offering to the public sector will place WEX alongside some of the biggest businesses in the UK, to bring a best-in-industry offering to people within national and local government and the nation’s critical emergency services. They can expect a lot from us moving forward,” said Eamonn Tierney, Managing Director of WEX in Europe.

“We are looking forward to cementing our public sector expertise from across Europe adjacent to our private sector fuel services where we have managed some of the largest fleet organisations in Europe, from the U.K. We offer a highly competitive product — one that meets the needs of UK organisations. Our aim is to simplify the process of running a business and there are a great many exciting developments on the horizon,” Aaron Townson, Business Development Manager at WEX, who worked on WEX’s application to be named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI framework, said.

The CCS supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2020/21, the CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.04bn — supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers. It also increases savings for taxpayers by centralising buying requirements for common goods and services and bringing together smaller projects.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the process of finding the best technologies for solving the Renewable Energy issue, the CTO of Boly Media Holdings Co., Dr. Xiaoping Hu, has discovered hidden, but fatal errors in Special Relativity. Dr. Hu has studied and pondered Einstein's Relativity Theory since high school. Two logical errors have been found in the derivation process of Lorentz Transform which is critical in Special Relativity, and two basic assumptions are also invalid, including the assumption about light speed constancy. Almost all past experimental and observational supports to Relativity Theory have also been examined and errors and deficiencies have been found in them. Dr. Hu’s findings have been scrutinized by many top scientists and Ph.D.’s, including Nobel Laureate’s groups, in Physics and Mathematics academy for more than three months, and nobody can fix the errors yet. As such, Dr. Hu is publishing a complete and rigorous proof here, wishing the whole academic community can resolve the errors, or the foundation of Modern Physics is at a serious crisis.


Critical proofs contain only 6 pages, starting from Page 35. Now that the whole modern Physics is built on Relativity Theory, Dr. Hu calls for physics and mathematics professionals in the whole world to cross-examine these errors, so that they can be properly addressed. Physics can hardly make any further progress without fixing fundamental errors in Special Relativity.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oil & Gas Downstream Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global oil & gas downstream market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period.

Factors such as increasing refining capacity across Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East, and rising industrialization in developing countries, are expected to drive the oil & gas downstream market during the forecast period. However, the growing share of fuel-efficient vehicles and increasing penetration of electric vehicles in both developed and emerging economies are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Highlights

  • Refinery segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
  • Digitalization and modernization of the refining and petrochemical sector is expected to reduce the refining costs and process losses. This, in turn, is expected to create an opportunity for the market during the forecast period.
  • Asia-pacific has dominated the oil & gas downstream market, with the majority of the demand coming from China, Southeast Asia, and India.

Key Market Trends

Refineries to Dominate the Market

  • The global energy demand is anticipated to grow by 50-60%, in the next two decades. This growth in demand can be attributed to the growing world population and an improvement in living standards in the developing countries. Even though new and renewable energy sources are gaining popularity around the world, the petroleum fuel remains a major energy source, globally. This trend is expected to continue for the next few decades and benefit all the sectors of the petroleum industry.
  • Further, increasing industrial activity and economic growth are likely to support the refining industry. In the developed countries, such as the United States, Brazil, the demand for diesel and other distillate is expected to be robust in the coming years. This demand growth can be attributed to the strong refinery industry in these countries.
  • Hence, the refining industry is anticipated to recover over the next five years as fuel prices rise and consumption increases. Thus, the refinery industry is expected to be major factor for the growth of the downstream market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific has dominated the oil & gas downstream market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance in the coming years as well. In 2018, Asia-Pacific accounted for almost 35% of the global refining capacity.
  • Indian Oil Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum have allocated CAPEX for refinery expansion projects in Gujarat and Mumbai, respectively, in their FY18-19 budgets. Both the projects are expected to come online in 2021 and 2022.
  • Further, the Indian petrochemicals industry is expected to witness increasing emphasis on investment in petrochemical hubs. The government is planning to set up petrochemical complexes all around the 22 refineries in the country. Clustering is expected to reduce operational costs and involve brownfield and greenfield development.
  • Hence, the region is expected to dominate the oil & gas downstream market during the forecast period owing to the increasing investment in refining and petrochemical sector coupled with the expansion of existing downstream infrastructure in respective countries.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: LNG) announced today that its subsidiary, Cheniere Marketing, LLC (“Cheniere Marketing”), has entered into a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Equinor ASA (“Equinor”).


Under the SPA, Equinor has agreed to purchase approximately 1.75 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of LNG from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board basis for a term of approximately 15 years. The deliveries under the SPA will start in the second half of 2026 and reach the full 1.75 mtpa in the second half of 2027. Half of the volume, or approximately 0.9 mtpa, is subject to Cheniere making a positive final investment decision (“FID”) to construct additional liquefaction capacity at the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal beyond the seven-train Corpus Christi Stage III Project.

“Equinor is one of Europe’s premier energy companies, and we are excited to form a long-term relationship with another strategic customer that shares our ambitions for a sustainable future,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This SPA further reinforces Cheniere’s leadership in providing the flexible, reliable and cleaner burning long-term LNG supply sought by our customers across the globe focused on energy security and environmental priorities. The SPA also reflects the urgency in demand for investment in additional LNG capacity, not only for the Corpus Christi Stage III Project, which is nearing FID, but also for capacity beyond the project’s initial seven trains.”
