Food Union entities transition to make ice cream powered by the sun

RIGA, Latvia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Food Union, the international ice cream and dairy production and distribution group, has announced its investments in renewable energy to power ice cream and dairy operations in the Baltics and Norway.

“The integral importance of ESG within Food Union resulted in our investments in renewable energy resources in two of our leading entities within the group: Premia and Isbjørn Is. As one of the leading ice-cream and dairy producers in the Baltic region with a growing global presence, we constantly monitor and review pathways to limit our environmental impact and seek out alternative renewable energy sources to balance our energy needs as we continue to grow,” says Normunds Staņēvičs, CEO of Food Union, Europe.

Premia, a Food Union company and Estonia’s oldest and largest ice cream producer, has transitioned to 100% renewable energy resources, like solar, to power its operations. Premia's journey toward greener production had many stages, including the installment of automated LED lights and the introduction of Fusebox virtual power plant solution that reduces electricity consumption.

“We are thrilled to announce our investments in renewable energy sources and plan to continue bringing our customers the best ice cream possible. Premia is the largest ice cream producer in Estonia, and we understand that we must do everything we can to minimize the environmental impact of our production and operations,” said Aivar Aus, Chairman of the Management Board of Premia.

Premia produces around 5,000 tons of ice cream annually and operates 9 production lines. Its commitment to 100% renewable energy coupled with its power saving solutions will reduce its factory and freezer warehouse CO2 emissions by more than 95% annually or 2,800 tons.

Solar energy has long been the fastest-growing power alternative for energy-intensive businesses. Premia’s investment in renewables is only one component of Food Union’s integrated approach to sustainability.

Isbjørn Is, a Food Union company based in Norway, has also committed to using renewable energy in its operations. In 2019 Isbjørn Is invested in 360 solar panels, constructed on its warehouse facility roof. This investment generates 68,904 kWh annually — the equivalent to offsetting approximately 48.2 tons of CO2 emissions.

“At Isbjørn Is, we aim to grow our business locally while reducing the environmental impact of our operations. Utilizing renewable energy sources is a key ingredient in reducing our carbon footprint now and as we expand in the future,” adds Morten Kolseth, CEO of Isbjørn Is.

Department of Energy selects global engineering leader to participate in R&D project aimed at capturing a ground-breaking 100,000 tons of CO₂ per year

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Black & Veatch $2.5 million in federal funding to participate in a research and development (R&D) project aimed at advancing direct air capture (DAC) technology. The global engineering leader will develop an initial engineering design of a DAC system that aims to capture 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from the atmosphere per year – currently, no existing DAC system has this level of capacity.

DAC technology can extract CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, but current carbon removal operations are costly and energy intensive. The DOE will award a total of $12 million to fund six R&D projects aimed at improving this clean energy technology by increasing the amount of CO₂ captured by DAC, decreasing the cost of materials and improving design and operational efficiency to help drive deployment. Advancing DAC technologies will be an important step in helping the Biden-Harris Administration reach its goal of net-zero emissions and carbon neutrality by 2050.

Three of the six projects will explore DAC operations in three distinct geographical locations, with varying climates. As part of the effort, Black & Veatch will develop an initial engineering design (Technology Readiness Level 6) for a large-scale DAC system to be placed in three locations: Odessa, Texas; Bucks, Alabama; and Goose Creek Illinois. The company will serve as the prime contractor, responsible for project management and balance of plant engineering. Black & Veatch will leverage Global Thermostat’s DAC technology, an innovative technology capable of achieving negative emission solutions.

“This DOE-funded cost-share project will enable Black & Veatch and our partners to scale Global Thermostat’s technology and ready it for global commercial adoption for CO₂ sequestration and CO₂ utilization such as producing carbon neutral synthetic e-fuels, and for carbon negative power generation applications,” said Jason Rowell, director of global decarbonization solutions with Black & Veatch.

Black & Veatch recently completed a technology assessment of Global Thermostat’s modular DAC units for an unnamed client, which provided the engineering leader with deep insight into the technology’s readiness, scalability, maturity plan and path to commercialization. The initial engineering design project is expected to start in the latter half of 2021 and last 18 months.

“This award is yet another steppingstone towards our intimate knowledge of the technology and its path to commercialization, while deepening our understanding of the technical and economic aspects for deployment at scale,” said Algert Prifti, CCUS technology manager with Black & Veatch. “This allows us to further expand our strategy to develop DAC technology for commercial-scale operations in North America and around the world.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Syngas Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global syngas market exhibited strong growth during 2015-2020. Looking forward, the global syngas market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and trace gases. It is produced through gasification of carbon-containing fuel such as coal when it is exposed to heat, air and water in a closed space. Since syngas has over half of the energy density of natural gas, it can be easily burnt and used as a fuel source. It is carbon-rich and is extensively used to generate Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), oxo-chemicals, dimethyl ether, hydrogen and ammonia or methanol for industrial applications. It is also used to produce a variety of fertilizers, solvents, fuels and synthetic materials.

Growing demand for syngas from the chemical industry is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, syngas is primarily used to produce SNG that is used in the form of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in rail, marine and road transportation industries. It can also be used to fuel gas engines for power supply owing to benefits such as low energy costs, increased stability and predictability. Moreover, the development of underground coal gasification (UCG) method is also creating a positive outlook for the market. It facilitates the completion of in-situ gasification process that converts coal into syngas. This is catalyzing the market growth as it reduces the need to transport the feedstock to the gasification plants, which consequently provides significant cost benefits. Additionally, growing environmental consciousness and stringent government regulations regarding the usage of clean fuels are also significantly contributing to the market growth. Syngas is crucial in reducing the waste pollution in landfills and greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

This report provides a deep insight into the global syngas market covering all its essential aspects. This ranges from macro overview of the market to micro details of the industry performance, recent trends, key market drivers and challenges, SWOT analysis, Porter's five forces analysis, value chain analysis, etc. This report is a must-read for entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, consultants, business strategists, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the syngas market in any manner.

• Second Quarter 2021 Revenue: $2.91 billion; up 36%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $241.5 million; up 38%
• Second Quarter 2021 EPS: $1.61 vs. $1.14; up 41%

LOWELL, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., (NASDAQ: JBHT) announced second quarter 2021 net earnings of $172.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.61 vs. second quarter 2020 net earnings of $121.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share.

Total operating revenue for the current quarter was $2.91 billion, compared with $2.15 billion for the second quarter 2020, an increase of 36%. All segments contributed at least double-digit revenue growth vs. the prior year period. Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) and Truck (JBT) grew revenue 100% and 70% year-over-year, respectively, as both segments were able to source and secure capacity for customers in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360°^® in the capacity constrained freight market during the quarter. Intermodal (JBI) revenue grew 21%, driven by a 6% increase in volume and a 15% increase in revenue per load. Final Mile Services^® (FMS) revenue increased 52%, as stops increased 59% year-over-year. Dedicated Contract Services^® (DCS^®) revenue grew 17% as fleet productivity improved 11% combined with a 5% increase in average revenue producing trucks versus the prior year period. Current quarter total operating revenue, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 31% vs. the comparable quarter 2020.

Total freight transactions in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 increased to $500 million in the second quarter 2021 compared to $281 million in the prior year quarter. ICS revenue on the platform increased 73% to $396 million versus a year ago. JBI and JBT executed approximately $33 million and $71 million, respectively, of their third-party dray, independent contractor and power-only capacity costs through the platform during the quarter.

Operating income for the current quarter totaled $241.5 million versus $175.2 million for the second quarter 2020. Operating income increased from second quarter 2020 primarily from customer rate and cost recovery efforts, higher volumes, further scaling into our technology investments, higher productivity of our assets and people across our DCS, FMS and ICS segments, and a benefit of $3.2 million related to the net settlement of claims in FMS. These items were partially offset by increases in driver wage and recruiting costs, rail and truck purchase transportation expense, non-driver personnel salary, wages and incentive compensation, higher group medical expense, elevated implementation costs for new, long term DCS contracts, and a lack of network fluidity from both rail and customer activity in JBI.

Net interest expense in the current quarter decreased from second quarter 2020 due to lower interest rates compared to the same period last year. The effective income tax rate in the quarter was 25.0% and in line with the prior year quarter. We now expect our 2021 annual tax rate to be between 23.5% and 24.5%.

Segment Information:

Intermodal (JBI)

• Second Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $1.29 billion; up 21%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $134.6 million; up 26%

JBI load volumes increased 6% over the same period in 2020. Eastern network volumes increased 9% and transcontinental volumes increased 3% from second quarter 2020. Demand for intermodal service remains robust, however, significant restrictions across the rail network were implemented throughout the quarter by rail service providers reflecting challenges within their network related to car imbalances and chassis and labor shortages. In addition, customer detention of trailing equipment was at an all-time high during the quarter further pressuring the availability of capacity and our volumes during the quarter. Despite these volume-related challenges, revenue increased 21% year-over-year, reflecting the 6% increase in volumes and a 15% increase in gross revenue per load. Excluding fuel surcharge revenue, revenue per load increased 9% year-over-year.

Operating income increased 26% from the prior year period primarily driven by the increase in volume, complemented with higher rate and cost recovery efforts. These benefits were partially offset by higher rail and third-party dray purchased transportation expense, higher costs to attract and retain drivers, and higher equipment cost. The current period ended with approximately 99,400 units of trailing capacity and 5,820 power units in the dray fleet.

Dedicated Contract Services (DCS)

• Second Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $621 million; up 17%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $79.0 million; down 5%

DCS revenue increased 17% during the current quarter over the same period in 2020. Productivity, defined as revenue per truck per week, increased approximately 11% vs. 2020. Productivity excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 7% from a year ago primarily from higher utilization of assets, contracted indexed-based price escalators, and less idled equipment in the quarter. A net additional 832 revenue producing trucks were in the fleet by the end of the quarter compared to the prior year, and a net additional 555 versus the end of the first quarter 2021. Customer retention rates remain above 98%.

Operating income decreased by 5% from the prior year quarter. Higher revenue and productivity were more than offset by increases in driver wage and recruiting costs, non-driver personnel salary, wages and incentive compensation, higher group medical expense, and elevated costs related to the implementation of new, long term contracts.

Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS)

• Second Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $607 million; up 100%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $3.1 million; compared to $(13.1) million loss in 2Q’20

ICS revenue increased 100% during the current quarter vs. the second quarter 2020. Segment volumes increased 20% during the quarter with truckload volumes increasing 30% from the prior year period. Revenue per load increased 66%. In addition to changes in customer freight mix, revenue per load was favorably impacted by higher contractual and spot rates in our truckload business as compared to the second quarter 2020. Contractual volumes represented approximately 48% of the total load volume and 35% of the total revenue in the current quarter compared to 67% and 55%, respectively, in second quarter 2020. Of the total reported ICS revenue, approximately $396 million was executed through the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 compared to $229 million in second quarter 2020.

Operating income increased to $3.1 million compared to an operating loss of $13.1 million in the second quarter 2020. Benefits from higher gross profit margin dollars and increased scale in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 platform were partially offset by higher personnel and technology costs as compared to the same period 2020. Gross profit margin percent decreased to 10.5% in the current period versus 11.8% in the same period last year primarily as a result of tighter industry capacity dynamics versus the prior year period. ICS carrier base increased 30% vs. second quarter 2020.

Final Mile Services (FMS)

• Second Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $212 million; up 52%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $10.7 million; compared to $(5.2) million loss in 2Q’20

FMS revenue increased 52% compared to the same period 2020. Stop count within FMS increased 59% during the current quarter vs. a year ago, primarily from the addition of multiple customer contracts implemented over the last year. Additionally, the prior year period included temporary suspension of operations at several of our customers’ sites as a result of COVID-19. Productivity, defined as revenue per stop, decreased approximately 5% compared to the prior year period primarily from a shift in the mix of business between asset and asset-light operations.

Operating income increased to $10.7 million compared to an operating loss of $5.2 million in the second quarter 2020. The increase in operating income in the second quarter 2021 was primarily the result of higher volumes compared to the prior year period and a $3.2 million benefit from the net settlement of claims, partially offset by higher personnel expense related to salary, wages and incentive comp.

Truckload (JBT)

• Second Quarter 2021 Segment Revenue: $184 million; up 70%
• Second Quarter 2021 Operating Income: $14.2 million; up 308%

JBT revenue increased 70% from the same period in 2020. Revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 66% primarily from a 58% increase in revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue and a 5% increase in load count compared to a year ago. The increase in revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue was driven by a 40% increase in revenue per loaded mile excluding fuel surcharge revenue and a 13% increase in average length of haul. Load count growth and the length of haul increase were primarily related to the continued expansion of J.B. Hunt 360box™ which leverages the J.B. Hunt 360 platform to access drop-trailer capacity for customers across our transportation network. Comparable contractual customer rates were up approximately 25% compared to the same period 2020. The current period ended with 8,958 trailers and 1,770 tractors, compared to 7,985 and 1,897 respectively.

Operating income increased to $14.2 million compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter 2020. Benefits from increased load counts and revenue per load were partially offset by increases in purchased transportation expense and higher salary and wage expenses for non-driving personnel related to the continued expansion of 360box and increased usage of non-asset power.

Cash Flow and Capitalization:

At June 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.3 billion outstanding on various debt instruments which is comparable to levels at June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2020.

Ameresco will be recognized at the virtual awards summit for its innovative energy project at Foothill Landfill in San Joaquin County, California

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#cleanenergy--Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced that its solar installation at the Foothill Landfill in San Joaquin County, California, has received a Top Project of the Year Award in the Environment + Energy Leader Awards program. Organized annually, the program’s expert judges identified this solar installation as a leading example of how to best repurpose underutilized land for maximum energy savings.

Over the past seven years, Ameresco partnered with the officials of San Joaquin County to develop and maintain two standalone projects at the Foothill Landfill. In 2014, the company developed a landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facility to convert the County’s waste into renewable energy. Following its success, Ameresco oversaw the installation of over 13,000 solar panels on the landfill’s underdeveloped land in 2020 to further support the County’s long-term sustainability goals.

“With a very experienced and critical judging panel and a strict set of judging criteria, entrants faced an extremely high bar to qualify for an award in 2021,” says Sarah Roberts, Environment + Energy Leader publisher.

One judge said of the San Joaquin County project, “This project demonstrates excellent use of underutilized land at the Foothill Landfill site and serves as a model for what others should and could develop.”

Alongside the Top Project of the Year Award win, Ameresco will participate in the Environment + Energy Leader Solutions Summit on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. During a half-hour session, scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET, representatives from San Joaquin County and Ameresco will delve into what inspired a second project at the same location, why it’s important to maximize underdeveloped land, and how a similar strategy can be implemented into other projects. Interested parties are encouraged to register for the session.

“We’re honored that the development of renewable energy resources within San Joaquin County has been recognized with this award,” said Supervisor Tom Patti, Chairman of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. “The Board’s prioritization to improve our local communities through clean and secure energy resources is of utmost importance as we plan for our energy future. The Foothill Landfill Solar project is not only great for the environment but obviously it helps offset the cost of rising electric costs to local taxpayers.”

“Our collaborative partnership with the County’s officials truly allowed us to think creatively about both the LFGTE facility and the solar farm,” said Ameresco’s executive vice president Bob Georgeoff. “We are honored that our work has been recognized for its excellence by Environment + Energy Leader judges, and we are proud to have worked with the County to lower their emissions by over 28,500 tons annually. We look forward to championing their ongoing sustainability efforts.”

The Environment + Energy Leader Awards is a program recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, and in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line. This year’s complete list of winners will be announced during the Solutions Summit on July 20, 2021, beginning at 9:15 a.m. ET. For more information and to register to attend, please visit: https://www.environmentalleader.com/ee-summit/

Fundraising strengthens Generate’s position as the leading diversified investment and operating platform for sustainable infrastructure

Consortium of some of the world’s largest pension funds from Australia, Europe, U.S. and Canada participate in round led by existing investors AustralianSuper and QIC with new investment from Harbert Management Corporation

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Generate, a leading sustainable infrastructure company, today announced it has raised $2 billion in corporate equity from some of the world’s leading institutional investors to accelerate the deployment of sustainable infrastructure. Existing investors AustralianSuper and QIC led the fundraising round with new investment from Harbert Management Corporation, Aware Super, and CBRE Caledon. The fundraising tapped many of the world’s largest long-term oriented pension funds and institutional investors from Australia, the U.S., and Europe, including additional commitments from existing investors AP2 of Sweden, Railways Pension of the UK and The Wellcome Trust.

Generate builds, owns, operates and finances sustainable infrastructure that delivers affordable and reliable resource solutions for companies, governments and communities. Over the last seven years, Generate has built a portfolio of about $2 billion in sustainable infrastructure assets across the energy, waste, water and transport markets, deploying proven solutions that can have an immediate impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving resource efficiency. The company works with more than 40 technology and project development partners to build infrastructure that serves the mission-critical needs of over 1,000 customers, including companies, universities, school districts, cities and non-profits across North America.

The new equity infusion makes Generate one of the most well-capitalized sustainability-focused enterprises in the world and will allow it to continue expanding its reach into new sectors and regions to meet rising demand for sustainable infrastructure.

“Generate is purpose-built to deploy sustainable infrastructure at scale and we are thrilled to reach this milestone that builds on our strong track record and enables our next phase of growth,” said Scott Jacobs, chief executive and co-founder of Generate. “Successful infrastructure projects require a long time horizon, dedicated operational expertise and a commitment to deliver returns for all of the many stakeholders involved in infrastructure. The urgent need to deploy proven climate solutions and get the world to a Net Zero pathway has never been greater. We are grateful to have a truly values-aligned set of investors committed to our mission of rebuilding the world.”

As the only one-stop shop for companies and communities looking to meet their Net Zero goals with new infrastructure, Generate offers customers the chance to quickly deploy solutions across diverse clean technology sectors. Because of Generate’s well-established Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, customers no longer need to make large capital commitments to meet their sustainability goals. They can rely on Generate to manage those infrastructure assets rather than taking that financial and operational risk – removing the key barriers to adoption of decarbonization and resource efficiency solutions. Generate’s holding company structure means that project developers and technology companies pioneering the Infrastructure Revolution have access to any and all types of financing and help needed to rebuild the world.

Generate has accelerated its business over the past year, despite a global pandemic and economic uncertainty, doubling staff across all business lines to meet this unprecedented opportunity in sustainable infrastructure. The company recently launched its Generate Credit unit dedicated to creating more credit solutions for green projects and companies, and geographic expansion beyond North America is also underway.

“Generate is a market leader, with an innovative business model that successfully leverages growing global demand for sustainable infrastructure solutions. Investing in Generate provides both an attractive investment return for our members and fosters the development of new sustainability focused technology which is making a real impact on the global transition to clean energy,” said AustralianSuper Head of Infrastructure Nik Kemp.

Added Ross Israel, Head of Global Infrastructure at QIC: “We are very pleased to continue partnering with Generate as it grows its sustainable infrastructure platform across power, mobility, waste, and water. This follow-on investment reinforces QIC’s sector-centric, thematic-based investment strategy across energy transition, decarbonization, and distributed infrastructure. We look forward to further leveraging our infrastructure sector expertise to accelerate the expansion of Generate’s high-quality platform across dynamic and rapidly growing markets for its customers.”

“As one of Australia’s largest pension funds, we have committed to achieving net zero by 2050 and have ambitious targets to invest in renewables and sustainable technologies to help us achieve this goal. This new partnership with Generate supports our growing portfolio of sustainable infrastructure assets in the US and globally. We look forward to supporting Generate’s continued impressive growth and development while delivering strong returns to our members,” said Mark Hector, Senior Portfolio Manager, Infrastructure and Real Assets, Aware Super.

Generate offers sustainability project developers and technology companies a comprehensive and flexible range of financial and operational solutions, establishing itself as the only “one-stop-shop” for sustainable infrastructure pioneers. The asset base the company owns, operates and finances includes renewable power, community solar, energy efficiency, microgrids, energy storage, electric mobility, hydrogen, wastewater, and waste management. Generate’s projects create thousands of jobs across communities and the infrastructure assets already on its balance sheet are expected to prevent over 43 million metric tons of CO2e from entering the atmosphere over the course of their operating lives.

“In infrastructure, stakeholder alignment is extremely challenging when you consider all of the various needs customers, communities, investors, regulators, suppliers and developers have. Generate has pioneered approaches that meet all of those needs, while solving some of the world’s most pressing problems. We are excited to continue partnering with the Generate team to rebuild the world,” says Helena Olin, head of infrastructure and real assets at Swedish national pension AP2.

Added Claude Estes, Co-Head of Investments at Harbert Infrastructure: “Generate has a deep bench of experienced professionals, an extensive pipeline via leading development partners and an aligned investor base which includes several of the largest and most respected capital providers in the world. Harbert believes that Generate will continue to execute on their vision and will benefit from durable energy transition tailwinds for the foreseeable future.”
