LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#HPC--Verne Global, provider of sustainable data center solutions for high intensity computing (registered as Verne Holdings Limited), today announced that it has been acquired by Digital 9 Infrastructure plc (D9), the newly established investment trust that invests in a range of digital infrastructure assets which deliver a reliable, functioning internet, in a deal valued at approximately £231 million in cash.
UK-based D9 is focused on providing resilient digital infrastructures that are integrated with green and cleaner power in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 9, to "build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation." The acquisition of Verne Global, which operates a 100 percent renewable powered data center campus based in Iceland, reaffirms this strategy and, together with D9’s recent subsea investment in Aqua Comms, accelerates the investment trust’s ambition to decarbonise digital infrastructure by increasing access to data centers in areas where there are abundant supplies of clean energy.
Verne Global’s 40 acre data center campus has been designed from the ground up to provide highly specialist data center services for organisations running high intensity compute workloads, including AI, machine learning, high performance computing (HPC) and supercomputing. Iceland’s stable energy grid ensures Verne Global can provide these customers with long-term price visibility, while the local climate supports free cooling 365 days a year. Its services are backed by a highly expert team of data center engineers, which offers round-the-clock support from Verne Global’s Keflavik campus.
Dominic Ward, CEO of Verne Global, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to become part of the Digital 9 Infrastructure platform. Its mission to support and develop highly-resilient digital infrastructures that fuel innovation, but are also sustainable and inclusive, resonates tremendously with Verne Global’s own business objectives. What Verne Global has achieved over the last decade is a fantastic accomplishment and is a great acknowledgement of the exceptional team that we have. We are hugely grateful for the support that we have had from our prior shareholders – Wellcome Trust, Stefnir, Novator Partners, and General Catalyst Partners – to this point. As we look forward, we are now hugely excited to be working with D9 and believe that we have the perfect partner to help power our future.”
Commenting on the Verne Global transaction, Thor Johnsen, Head of Digital Infrastructure at Triple Point, D9’s Investment Manager, said:
“Data centers form a key part of the digital infrastructure backbone. Verne Global’s existing Icelandic based data center assets represent some of the cleanest, lowest carbon footprint data centres, globally. This is another key step to support decarbonising the data center industry. For society to meet key decarbonisation goals, we need to look for ways to shift energy consumptive activities to areas of surplus renewable energy. The digital infrastructure industry has an increasing energy footprint, particularly data centres, which need to become more energy efficient and green. However, as an industry we should not expect to just rely on carbon offsets in markets which are already struggling to meet carbon targets, but we need to attract data centre demand to areas where there are robust sources of renewable power.
We are thrilled to add the Verne Global platform to the growing D9 portfolio. Together with the D9 subsea investment in Aqua Comms, we are pursuing further fibre network opportunities to improve connectivity into the Nordics, enabling data center users reliable and low cost access to the vast renewable and low cost energy resources of Iceland and the Nordics.”
Birgir Már Ragnarsson, Managing Partner at Novator Partners LLP, one of the original investors in Verne Global, said:
“When we founded Verne Global in 2007 with our friends at General Catalyst, we had the ambitious goal of building the first green data center in the world that would serve the global enterprise market. We saw Iceland as the best place for high intensity compute, using 100 percent renewable energy, free cooling, long term energy contracts and a tech savvy, highly educated workforce.
“Now close to 15 years later, we are super proud to say that we achieved our goal thanks to the brilliant team at Verne Global and our co-investors from the Welcome Trust and Stefnir. Verne Global is already a clear winner as a green sustainable data center serving global customers, and now has the opportunity to grow even further under new ownership. We congratulate D9 with their acquisition and look forward to following Verne Global’s future.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Refining Catalyst Market Outlook to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Crude oil is today the primary energy source for transportation fuels worldwide and a source to produce a wide variety of chemical products. Catalysis plays a key role in petroleum refining, as most of the processes are catalytic. According to the publisher, the global Refining Catalyst market is expected to witness a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. The market for refining catalysts is growing to meet the increasing market demands of quality standards. Moreover, increased demand for high octane numbers in fuels and rising demand for petroleum derivatives are further helping the market growth. Hence, the refining catalyst market is expected to grow at a high pace during the study period. On the other side, declining crude prices and diminishing resources are expected to hinder market growth in the future years. Catalysis plays a crucial role in several stages of fuel production. Many catalytic processes are necessary to convert crude oil to final commercial products, with strictly defined specifications. Around 30% of the total amount of catalysts produced by the industry is consumed in refinery processes.
Companies Mentioned
Refineries produce different shares of petroleum products depending on the composition of crude oil and the demands of the market. Directly or Indirectly, around 6,000 products are derived from petroleum. The largest share, close to 75% of oil products produced in refineries, is used as energy carriers that are various grades of fuel oil and gasoline. These fuels include or can be blended to give gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, heavier fuel oils, and heating oil. Heavier or less volatile fractions are used to produce asphalt, tar, paraffin wax, lubricating, and other heavy oils. Moreover, refineries produce other chemicals used in chemical processes to make plastics and other useful materials. Carbon, in the form of hydrogen and petroleum coke, is also produced as petroleum products. The hydrogen produced is often used as an intermediate product for other oil refinery processes such as hydrocracking and hydrodesulfurization. Many day-to-day used everyday products are also a derivative of petroleum that includes aspirin, dentures, clothing, cosmetics, solar panels, personal care products such as shampoo & toothpaste, rugs, and food products like chewing gum.
Transportation is the primary economic sector in the consumption of a large number of petroleum products in the form of petrol and diesel. The increase in vehicle stock is the primary driver contributing to the rise in oil consumption in the road transportation sector. Among all transport modes, the most significant demand for oil comes from road transportation. The total vehicle stock is estimated to grow by around 1.1 billion between 2017 and 2040 to reach 2.4 billion vehicles. Out of this, passenger cars are estimated to grow by approximately 877 million, with 768 million cars in developing countries. Out of an expected 442 million commercial vehicles by 2040, a large majority of around 370 million will remain conventional. Natural gas vehicles are forecasted to account for 6% of the commercial fleet by 2040.
In addition to optimizing existing refining catalysts, producers are continually looking to develop new catalyst products with precise characteristics to meet the exact needs of a given application. The transition towards a CO2-neutral society poses a significant challenge to catalysis research. In the short term, the catalysts and processes that offer optimally efficient and clean use of fossil fuels and feedstock are in demand. In the longer term, new catalytic materials for the transition to a CO2-neutral society are required, which can also accommodate the predicted increase in the use of electricity and transport.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global building integrated photovoltaics market exhibited strong growth during 2015-2020. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to grow at a CAGR of around 18% during 2021-2026.
Companies Mentioned
Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end-use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) refer to the solar power generating components that are used in constructing facades, roofs, and skylights in buildings. Generally, these components include the integration of photovoltaic modules, backup power supply system, charge controller, power storage system, and other supporting hardware. BIPV materials offer several benefits over their traditional counterparts as they provide onsite power generation, zero emissions, high energy conservation, superior architectural integration, and optimal shading. In addition to this, BIPVs also help in reducing labor and installation costs by replacing high-end roof membranes, skylight glazing, facade cladding, etc. Owing to these benefits, building integrated photovoltaic materials are widely installed across commercial, residential, and industrial sectors.
The increasing demand for building integrated photovoltaic materials can be attributed to the rising integration of solar energy solutions in commercial infrastructures for architectural optimization and energy conservation. Moreover, growing environmental concerns towards the depleting non-renewable power resources, such as oil, coal, etc., have further bolstered the demand for solar power generation. Additionally, rapid modernization in the construction and building sector along with the increasing focus on clean energy has fueled the demand for green or zero-emission buildings. Furthermore, the growing consumer awareness towards several ecological benefits of BIPV has resulted in the rising adoption of solar energy harnessing systems in the residential sector.
Apart from this, implementation of favorable government policies supported by several initiatives for promoting the need for reducing carbon footprints have also catalyzed the demand for building-integrated photovoltaics on a global level. Furthermore, the increasing demand for BIPV components in the developed regions, such as North America and Europe, is primarily driven by the supporting infrastructural developments in the form of optimum grid-parity of photovoltaic solutions supported by several financial incentives offered by regional governments. On the other hand, several emerging economies, such as India, China, Vietnam, etc., are experiencing high product demand due to the reduced solar installation costs and wide availability of BIPV materials across these countries. Moreover, various technological advancements coupled with the increasing penetration of wireless connectivity have led to the introduction of automated BIPV components, thereby bolstering the market growth. Additionally, rising investments in several R&D activities for the superior integration of advanced module technologies are also driving the product demand.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) (“Advent” or the “Company”) today announced that its two Greek Important Projects of Common European Interest (“IPCEI”) have been approved by a joint decision by the Greek Minister of Development and Investments, Mr. Adonis Georgiadis, and the Greek Minister of Environment, Energy, and Climate Change, Mr. Kostas Skrekas. The White Dragon and Green HiPo projects, each of which prominently features Advent’s innovative fuel cell technology, were among five projects, out of 20 submitted, that received approval and were selected after evaluation by a special Interministerial Committee of Experts.
The scope of the programs, as submitted by Advent and the White Dragon consortium of companies, is set to replace Greece’s largest coal-fired plants, with renewable solar energy parks, which will be supported by green hydrogen production (4.65GW), and fuel cell heat and power production (400MW). The projects are part of the “Hydrogen Technologies” IPCEI and will now move towards approval at European Union (“EU”) level. As a next step, Advent will demonstrate before the European Commission (DG Competition) the economic, environmental, financial, social, technical feasibility of the project and the positive spillover effects to the European economy and society. Upon successful assessment, Advent will receive a final notification from the European Commission.
Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are thrilled with this news that the White Dragon and Green HiPo projects have been approved by the Greek government in the first wave of the IPCEI projects. This decision demonstrates the commitment by Greece and the EU to rapidly decarbonize power production.”
About White Dragon
The White Dragon project aims to replace the coal-fired power plants across the region of Western Macedonia and transition to clean energy production and transmission, with the ultimate goal of fully decarbonizing Greece's energy system. The project plans to use large-scale renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis in the region. This hydrogen would then be stored, and -- through Advent’s high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells -- supply all of Greece with clean electricity, green energy, and heat.
Advent’s fuel cells provide a combination of both heat and electrical power. The heat generated by the project would initially be used in conjunction with the district heating networks of Western Macedonia and in the future in other applications that require a heating and/or cooling system, such as industrial workings, data centers, and greenhouses. Unlike competing fuel cells, Advent’s HT-PEM fuel cells are ideal for heat and power applications as they operate at the 160-2000C range and can produce quality heat, in addition to electricity -- bringing the combined efficiency of fuel cells to 85 percent. In addition, the high-temperature operation allows Advent fuel cells to operate with natural gas, a natural gas-hydrogen blend, and eventually with green hydrogen.
The White Dragon project also aims to develop an integrated Hydrogen Industrial Research Center within the Hydrogen High Technology, Research, Development & Innovation Center that is anticipated to be created in Western Macedonia.
About Green HiPo
The Green HiPo project concerns the development, design, and manufacturing of HT-PEM fuel cells for the production of heat and power. The project is expected to take place mainly in Western Macedonia, and aid significantly in the region’s transition from a coal-based economy to a greener economic model. It is a complementary project to White Dragon and will, if both are fully approved, produce the fuel cells that will power White Dragon’s green energy plan.
The electricity and heat provided by Advent’s fuel cells will be integral for Greece’s energy transition as the country plans to decommission all coal-fired power plants by 2028. A new state-of-the-art facility in Western Macedonia will be home to the production of fuel cells and will contribute to the economic development of the region by providing approximately 1,400 jobs in innovative sustainable technology. The facility will initially manufacture fuel cells of 15kW/units, gradually reaching 120kW, and then 1MW scale single units before finally becoming a multi-MW platform.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Automotive Lubricant Market Outlook to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Global automotive lubricants market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period.
Factors such as the increasing demand for efficient automotive vehicles due to the surging oil prices are expected to drive the automotive lubricants market in the forecasted years.
Furthermore, this increasing demand is attributed to the growing need for high-performance engines. The increasing construction industry is also expected to drive the demand for the commercial vehicle for construction activities, thus increasing the demand for the automotive lubricants market in the forecasted years.
However, the increase in sales for battery electric vehicles and the increasing demand for hybrid engines that could decrease the demand for engine oil is expected to restrain the global automotive lubricant growth in the forecasted years.
Engine Oil is the most used automotive Lubricant globally and is expected to drive the global automotive lubricant market. The main purpose of engine oil is to reduce wear and friction on moving parts and clean the engine from varnish and sludge. It also helps to neutralize acids that originate from fuel and oxidation of lubricants, thus improving the sealing of piston rings.
Engine oil plays a key role in cooling the engine by extracting heat away from moving parts. The increasing crude oil prices have forced people to opt for high mileage engine oils as it helps to prevent oil leaks and reduce oil consumption. The increasing car age globally promotes the use of engine oils and other lubricants to maintain the efficiency and performance of the vehicle. The recommended engine oil change period is at about 5, 000 to 7, 500 miles to enhance the drive experience.
Owing to the rapid urbanization in emerging countries like China and India, the sales of commercial vehicles such as trucks, tractors, and trailers are on the surge. High-duty motor engine oil has high-viscosity engine oils, capable of sustaining strict emission standards and extreme geographical conditions. These factors are expected to drive the demand for automotive lubricants in the forecasted years.

SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CommunicationSolutions--Hytera, together with its subsidiaries Norsat, have recently released a white paper to highlight the importance of radio over satellite solutions on a global scale.
Communication Challenges Faced by Industries
As communication requirements evolved drastically, it has become imperative to enhance connectivity between organizations, world-wide teams, and employees on the field. Radio communications play an essential role in this regard, especially in public safety, emergency rescue, firefighting, fleet operations and mining applications. Most radio networks use line of sight propagation or have fixed repeater stations.
When there is no radio network signal coverage on site, command center is not able to reach the personnel on site. In this case, the use of communications satellites as a communications repeater can provide a remote cross-territory transmission route for on-site radio network communications, to achieve voice, data, image transmission; improve the capacities of emergency handling, decision making, command and control, emergency linkage, resource allocation; and ensure full-time, all-area and all-weather communications.
Benefits of Radio Over Satellite Communication
Remote radio networks can be unified with fixed landlines, cellular systems, or Push-To-Talk (PTT) radios facilitating encrypted, real-time direct voice and data communications to headquarters, control centers or operations rooms. With the right systems engineering and technology partner, Radio Over Satellite solutions are easy to manage and deploy. They can be operated remotely and unattended after installation, making them perfect solutions for communication in uncertain environments.
Careful engineering is required to ensure audio quality, latency, jitter, and bandwidth of digital radio systems over satellite. Congestion and management of remote networks can be mitigated with careful planning, QOS, SLAs, TCP acceleration and bandwidth compression. Testing has also confirmed that there is no discernable degradation in audio quality using radio over satellite systems. Thorough planning and designing of network to maximize limited bandwidth usage and link budget are required for projects involving these applications.
As a global leading provider of Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) solutions, Hytera not only provides users with TETRA, DMR, PDT, LTE products and solutions, but also combines Norsat's rich experience in satellite communication to jointly offer the entire set of services from solution design to project installation. By making full use of the advantages of satellite communications, Hytera has established a reliable and stable radio communication network over satellite for business- and mission-critical users, supporting command and dispatch system services to meet the communication needs of daily operation and emergency response.

Commaris debuts flagship product at Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#UAV--Terrafugia Inc. today announces the launch of a new brand, CommarisTM, and the brand’s first product, the SEEKERTM, an innovative, electric, fixed-wing/VTOL hybrid aircraft designed explicitly for autonomous commercial aerial applications. Commaris will debut the SEEKER at the Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas from Sept. 7 through Sept. 9.
The SEEKER has a long-endurance capability with more than three hours of flight time without a battery change, saving time and reducing costs while supporting multiple payload configurations at a top speed of over 60 mph. The UAV employs an advanced, fully composite airframe with a wingspan of 15 feet and a payload lifting capability of up to 10 pounds. Its modular design is easy to assemble and disassemble in the field in under three minutes.
"We are very excited to launch our new brand, Commaris, and its first product, the SEEKER. This UAV is designed to perform a wide variety of commercial inspection operations in applications such as power, gas, oil, mapping, agriculture, and security,” said Kevin Colburn, President of Terrafugia and Commaris. “Our team of experienced aviation professionals has created an extremely capable, commercial-grade UAV that, in many situations, will deliver results that typical rotary-wing UAVs or helicopters cannot come close to providing.”
The SEEKER's innovative, aerodynamic design includes powerful but quiet electric motors that help it achieve a noise signature of only 40 decibels on the ground and near-silence at 500 feet AGL. The UAV is the ideal aircraft for security, powerline patrols, and missions operating in noise-sensitive environments, ensuring operations will be completed quickly and quietly.
The SEEKER’s large payload-carrying capability will be customizable with a variety of modular options, such as a 30x optical zoom EO/IR camera for inspection, a 120-megapixel high-resolution camera for terrain mapping and 3D modeling, a six-band multispectral camera designed for precision agriculture analysis, a LiDAR system, a laser methane sensor, or a corona discharge sensor, most of which will feature the ability to stream data to the operator in near-real time.
Commaris will debut the SEEKER during a live demonstration at the UAV Expo's "Beyond The Cage Live Outdoor Flying Demonstrations" taking place on Sept. 7, 2021, at 9:25 a.m. PT at the Henderson Equestrian Park North. Representatives will be available for questions after the demonstration and at the Expo’s exhibitor hall at the Mirage Las Vegas, booth #407.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MRMP-Managers LLC (“MRMP”), announced today that it has sent a follow-up letter to the Board of Directors of Navios Maritime Partners LP (the “Company” or “NMM”) (NYSE: NMM) following the announcement by the Company of certain transactions.
Ned Sherwood, MRMP’s investment manager, noted that: “although MRMP has not sold any NMM limited partnership interests, we have amended our 13D beneficial ownership report following the dilutive issuance of 6,400,873 limited partnership interests in the Company’s ongoing ATM securities offering over the past several months. This new issuance has reduced our holdings from approximately 5.8% to 4.4% of the Company’s outstanding limited partnership interests.”
MRMP has attached a copy of its second letter to the Company as an exhibit to the 13D amendment filed today. This letter details MRMP’s views regarding the Company’s recent transactions and reiterates several suggestions set forth in the initial letter, along with an additional proposal that MRMP believes would significantly reduce the current discount to net asset value at which NMM trades: the merger of Angeliki Frangou’s private ship management company into NMM.
Mr. Sherwood noted that: “In addition to being the CEO of NMM, Angeliki privately owns a ship management entity that collects commissions on ship purchases and sales and also earns management fees for operating the ships. Her incentives are therefore to grow the fleet by buying more ships. As an LP in NMM, we are wondering why any rational business person would buy individual ships when they are immediately valued at approximately 50 percent of cost at the NMM LP unit price. It would certainly seem that when a private entity earns income by growing the fleet and a related public entity trades 100 percent dollars for ships valued at 50 percent of its market price, a conflict of interest can easily arise.”
Mr. Sherwood went on to state “We would propose that Angeliki Frangou merge her private entity with NMM at an appropriate valuation, so that all LP and GP investors’ incentives are better aligned and we can all row in the same direction. In my opinion, such action would immediately cause an upward revaluation of NMM assets and interest price.”
All limited partnership interest holders in NMM are encouraged to read MRMP’s latest 13D amendment in full. Any questions or comments may be directed to Mr. Sherwood. Limited partnership interest holders are also welcome to copy Angeliki Frangou on such correspondence. To date no one from the Company, including Angeliki Frangou, has responded to MRMP’s initial letter, and the Company appears to be ignoring the many value-add suggestions and recommendations of its LP holders.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and MRMP’s follow-up letter to NMM (attached as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D/A filed today) contain forward-looking statements. All statements that are not clearly historical in nature or that necessarily depend on future events are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

They are not guarantees of future performance, involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. MRMP and its affiliates do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, except as required by applicable law.
