First of Its Kind Deployment of Innovative Environmental Technology in The Treasure State

SIDNEY, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#coronavirus--Kraken Oil & Gas (“Kraken”) has engaged Crusoe Energy Systems Inc. (“Crusoe”) to deploy 18 Digital Flare Mitigation® (“DFM”) modules between three oil and gas production sites in eastern Montana and one site in North Dakota. The projects have been successfully deployed and are operating in the field currently. Cumulatively, Kraken’s DFM projects reduce natural gas flaring by millions of cubic feet per day, significantly curtail emissions, and provide an innovative beneficial use for otherwise flared natural gas.

Kraken is the largest producer of Bakken oil in the state of Montana, and is also very active in North Dakota. In total, the company produces ~40,000 barrels of oil per day from ~320 wells. In Montana the company produces ~10,000 barrels of oil per day from ~60 wells. The majority of Kraken’s wells sell gas into traditional pipelines for processing at gas plants around the basin; however, a portion of the company’s acreage is located in areas where pipeline capacity is limited or unavailable. In these areas, Kraken has deployed Crusoe’s DFM solution to capture gas that would otherwise be stranded or flared.

“Kraken has always embraced innovation and technology to improve our operations,” said Bruce Larsen, President & CEO of Kraken. “It has never been more important for oil and gas companies to demonstrate a commitment to environmental excellence. Flare mitigation with Crusoe’s technology has become a centerpiece of our environmental innovation and ESG strategy at sites with otherwise stranded natural gas. Crusoe continues to impress us with their reliability, safety standards and support. We feel proud of the work our companies are doing together to reduce flaring and emissions in Montana and North Dakota.”

Crusoe installs modular computing systems powered entirely by gas that was otherwise being flared. In the current environment of challenging oil and gas economics, Crusoe’s solution offers a low or no cost solution to flaring which produces an additional revenue stream for oilfield operators from gas that was previously not captured. The systems are modular and scalable, which allows Crusoe to mitigate flaring at almost any scale from tens of thousands to millions of cubic feet per day. As a result, Crusoe’s clients range from publicly traded oil and gas firms to private companies, like Kraken.

“People sometimes talk about technology as though it only happens in Silicon Valley,” said Alan Olson, Executive Director at Montana Petroleum Association. “These Digital Flare Mitigation projects are an excellent reminder of the incredible ingenuity and technological sophistication within the oil and gas industry here in Montana. Here is a set of mobile, modular data centers that capture otherwise wasted natural gas to power energy-intensive computation directly at the wellhead. Crusoe’s deployments with Kraken are the first of their kind in Montana, but I would not be surprised if additional operators deploy similar projects in due course.”

  • Onboard hydrogen generation for marine and off-road mobility applications

BEND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Element 1 Corp (“e1” or “the Company”), a leading developer of hydrogen generation technology, announced today that its proprietary methanol-based M-Series hydrogen generator technology has been licensed to RIX Industries (RIX). Under the terms of the license agreement, RIX has been granted non-exclusive rights to manufacture and deploy e1’s M-Series onboard hydrogen generators for use in fuel cell mobility applications, including marine vessels and off-road vehicles such as mining trucks, tractors, and heavy-lift trucks in both North America and Europe.


Governments across the globe are striving to reduce harmful emissions into the air and waterways. Tightening regulations combined with corporate sustainability initiatives are driving a massive migration to non-polluting electric propulsion systems, many of which utilize hydrogen fuel cells.

Dr. David Edlund, e1 CEO, said, “e1 is delighted and privileged to be collaborating with RIX. They are a first-class manufacturing partner and a long-time authorized supplier to multiple branches of the U.S. military along with a wide range of commercial and industrial end-users. The onboard hydrogen generation technology being licensed to RIX is unique to e1 and is highly enabling to the mass commercialization of fuel cell systems for a wide variety of transportation-related fuel cell applications. I anticipate our relationship with RIX to broaden substantially over the not too distant future,” concluded Dr. Edlund.

“RIX Industries has a global reputation for excellence, and the addition of e1’s technology to our portfolio strategically aligns with our brand and our growth strategy,” said Bryan Reid, Chief Sales Officer at RIX. “We are focused on the clean energy future and firmly believe that there is a significant market opportunity that can be effectively addressed by RIX incorporating e1’s M-Series hydrogen generator into power solutions.”

The onboard storage of methanol used by e1’s hydrogen generators requires a fraction of the space on a maritime vessel as compared to compressed hydrogen, enabling a significantly greater range between fueling. This range extension is critical for not only marine vessels but also for heavy and medium-duty fuel cell trucks traveling long distances each day.

More details on the payload test are in this press release.

The success of this stratospheric test flight is a major step forward for HAPSMobile as it continues to pursue its mission of bridging the digital divide by building its business in the stratosphere, a new frontier for humankind. HAPSMobile will continue to work to revolutionize mobile networks by leveraging HAPS.

Junichi Miyakawa, Representative Director & CTO of SoftBank Corp., and also President & CEO of HAPSMobile, said, “Watching this test flight, I was reminded of ‘Castle in the Sky,’ the anime directed by Hayao Miyazaki in 1986, and how the airship in the story filled me with aspiration. We once again moved one step closer to our goal of building a base station that floats in the sky solely on solar energy. Even though the temperature fell below 73 degrees Celsius, our work on endurance tests bore fruit and resulted in a successful test flight. On the day of the test, Sunglider faced aerial currents of roughly 30 meters per second, so I was relieved when it hit the runway after clearing all test items. In this test flight, we also successfully conducted communications with smartphones on the ground and obtained data for fully automated piloting. While there is still much room for improvement, we will continue to work toward realizing our dream.”

LONDON & SYDNEY & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (‘Quinbrook’), a specialist investor in lower carbon and renewable energy infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Dawn Turner to the Investment Manager Advisory Board.


Dawn is the former CEO of the Brunel Pensions Partnership, a £30 billion Local Government Pension Scheme Pool recently formed from the collaboration of 10 Local Government Pension Scheme funds. Prior to her role at Brunel, Dawn served as the Chief Pensions Officer at the Environment Agency Pension Fund. She is currently an Advisory Committee member at Man Group and is a Responsible Investment Advisory Committee member at Irish Life Investment Management. Dawn is a recognized expert in Responsible Investment and Sustainable Finance with over 30 years’ experience as a finance professional and business leader. She is a recipient of multiple industry awards and was named in Financial News’ top 100 most influential women 2017 and 2018.

Dawn joins Mark Fulton, former Head of Research at DB Climate Change Advisors at Deutsche Bank, on Quinbrook’s Advisory Board. Dawn will bring an invaluable investor’s perspective to the ongoing formulation and refinement of Quinbrook’s ESG and impact focused investment strategies in lower carbon and renewable energy infrastructure asset development, ownership and portfolio construction for institutional investors.

Quinbrook aims to protect and enhance the value of invested assets for the long-term benefit of its investors through the proactive identification and management of the ESG aspects of those investments. However, Quinbrook’s ESG objectives extend beyond this; to job creation, improved governance, greater community engagement, and reduced environmental impacts from the daily operation of portfolio assets. In the UK, Quinbrook is focusing on opportunities arising from the accelerating energy transition to achieve ‘Net Zero’ emissions from the country’s energy supply system. With ageing coal, gas and nuclear plants being retired in the UK, significant long-term capital investment in replacement new renewables supply infrastructure, battery storage, smart grid and related businesses will be needed.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ALB #BMW--Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8C) is focused on the exploration and development of graphite for the new green economy. Lomiko has been monitoring actions by government in Canada and the USA that are focused on reducing dependence on Chinese supply of graphite, lithium and other electric vehicle battery materials. Canada and the USA have worked closely and confirmed supply agreements between the two countries.


President Donald Trump recently signed an Executive Order entitled Executive Order on Addressing the Threat to the Domestic Supply Chain from Reliance on Critical Minerals from Foreign Adversaries, which is focused on creating North American suppliers of Battery Materials.

Excerpts from Executive Order:

"...the United States is 100 percent reliant on imports for graphite, which is used to make advanced batteries for cellphones, laptops, and hybrid and electric cars. China produces over 60 percent of the world’s graphite and almost all of the world’s production of high-purity graphite needed for rechargeable batteries."

“(i) the United States develops secure critical minerals supply chains that do not depend on resources or processing from foreign adversaries;

(ii) the United States establishes, expands, and strengthens commercially viable critical minerals mining and minerals processing capabilities; and

(iii) the United States develops globally competitive, substantial, and resilient domestic commercial supply chain capabilities for critical minerals mining and processing.”

In September, Congressmen Lance Gooden (R-TX) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) recently introduced a bill that seeks to decrease the U.S.’s dependence on China for critical metals. The bill, dubbed the Reclaiming American Rare Earths (RARE) Act, aims to establish tax incentives for domestic production of rare earths.

The Congressmen statement sounds the alarm regarding critical metals production: “The United States is more dependent than ever on the importation of the resources that drive our economy, enable us to build advanced technology, and ensure our national security,” Gooden’s office said in a release. “Thirty-five of these rare earth minerals are designated by the Department of Interior as ‘critical’, and we source fourteen of them entirely from foreign suppliers. China is a leading supplier for twenty-two of the thirty-five. The RARE Act is specifically designed to change that.”

Earlier this year, Sen. Ted Cruz introduced similar legislation, dubbed the Onshoring Rare Earths Act of 2020, or ORE Act. Further, on December 18, 2019 Canada announced that it had joined the U.S.-led multilateral Energy Resource Governance Initiative (ERGI). ERGI aims to support secure and resilient supply chains for critical minerals by identifying options to diversify supply chains and facilitate trade and industry connections.

Canada, and especially Quebec, are perfectly situated to supply the U.S. with many of the critical minerals it is seeking to secure due to an extensive selection of mineral projects. Also, strong political and economic ties, a stable political, economic and regulatory environment and a robust metals and mining sector. Of the 35 critical metals identified by the U.S., Canada is a sizable supplier of 13 of such minerals including graphite, lithium and manganese to the U.S. and the second-largest supplier of niobium, tungsten and magnesium. Canada also supplies approximately one quarter of the U.S. uranium needs.

“Initial indications are that La Loutre Graphite Property is high-quality and high-grade and thus worthy of development.” stated A. Paul Gill, CEO. “The only operating graphite mine in North America which is the Imerys Graphite & Carbon at Lac-des-Îles, is 30 miles northwest of La Loutre and has operated for 30 years. It reported proven reserves of 5.2 M Tonnes at a grade of 7.42 % Cg in July 1988 before the start of production.” (Reference: Potentiel de la minéralisation en graphite au Québec, N’Golo Togola, MERN, page 31, Conférence Québec Mines, November 24 2016).

Graphite demand is expected to increase exponentially for the mined natural graphite material, as more is used in the production of spherical graphite for graphite in the anode portion of Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion batteries. The near-term goals of the company are as follows:

1) Complete 100% Acquisition of the Property, currently 80% owned by Lomiko Metals.

2) Complete metallurgy and graphite characterization to confirm li-ion anode grade material.

3) Complete a Technical Report to confirm the extent of the mineralization equals or surpasses the nearby Imerys Mine, owned by international mining conglomerate.

A "technical report" means a report prepared and filed in accordance with this Instrument and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report, and includes, in summary form, all material scientific and technical information in respect of the subject property as of the effective date of the technical report;

4) Complete Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

A PEA means a study, other than a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of mineral resources.

Technology Supports Financial Clarity and Production Decisions for the U.S.’s Largest Statewide Association of Independent Energy Producers

HOUSTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#blockchain--Data Gumbo, the trusted industrial blockchain network, today announced that it has partnered with the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers (the Alliance), the largest statewide association in the country serving independent energy producers. The partnership will deploy GumboNet™, Data Gumbo’s massively interconnected blockchain network, to members of the Alliance to power smart contracts across energy production to support cost savings and efficiencies in commercial transactions.


“The Alliance performs critical work in legislative and regulatory advocacy, and in developing programs that protect industry, unite fragmented voices and to enable independent producers to grow, prosper and thrive for its more than 2,600 members,” said Andrew Bruce, CEO and Founder, Data Gumbo. “GumboNet ensures transactional certainty through automated smart contracts that will allow Alliance members to make real-time, informed production decisions based on actual field events driving improved performance and million-dollar savings opportunities.”

As a network of companies, customers, suppliers and vendors, GumboNet integrates specific transactional data with automated smart contracts powered by blockchain technology. By providing a single immutable record of truth, GumboNet synchronizes data across counterparties for complete transparency that frees up working capital, reduces contract leakage, enables real-time cash and financial management, and delivers provenance. Company, commodity and ticketing systems agnostic, Data Gumbo stores all data directly on its network with full auditable records resulting is an innovative and modern process that creates touchless transactions and crushes waste in the process.

“Data Gumbo has cracked the code to cut costs and realize transactional certainty across commercial relationships,” said Jason Modglin, President of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. “Being able to offer their proven technology to our large network better positions independent energy producers to capture value, save money and mitigate risk through better, more informed decisions. As always, we look to add value to membership in the Alliance, and GumboNet brings a strong product to the table and we are pleased to offer it to oil and gas producers in Texas.”
