ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#boaters--Boatsetter, the leading marketplace for on-the-water experiences and boat rentals in the U.S., is creating an entirely new industry within the sharing economy - and rapidly forging a path to entrepreneurship for thousands of boat owners in the process.

Boatsetter is the world’s only legally compliant and insured peer-to-peer boat rental platform, having partnered with GEICO and BoatUS to pioneer the first-ever peer-to-peer boat rental insurance policy in 2017. This opened up a new world of possibilities for boat owners who, on average, use their boats only two weeks of the year.

“There are more than 15 million privately owned boats in the U.S., most of which sit unused for the vast majority of the year,” says Jackie Baumgarten, CEO of Boatsetter. “This makes them extremely expensive and underutilized assets. Boatsetter is a game changer because we help defray the cost of ownership, and we enable entrepreneurs to start their own business from the ground up.”

Boatsetter provides private boat owners with a way to safely and legitimately list their boats, and its intuitive platform makes it simple to manage one’s bookings. Boatsetter connects owners with renters and U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains, and manages all of the logistics to allow private boat owners to earn income. To date, more than one million boaters and boat owners alike have used the platform, and last year, Boatsetter saw a 50 percent increase in the number of boats listed for rent.

"We bought a boat, and we decided we weren't using it as much as we thought we would, so we might as well rent it out," said Ross Miller, who joined Boatsetter with his wife last summer, completing almost 80 rentals of their pontoon boat on Lake Lanier. "With Boatsetter, it's really been easy and risk free for us. They do the advertising, they do the reservations, they handle the background checks, they do the insurance, everything."

Boating is a natural extension to the sharing economy, which has allowed people to turn homes, cars, RVs, swimming pools, and more into revenue generators. In fact, Boatsetter has a higher cohort revenue retention than the leading homesharing platform, meaning boat owners realize higher revenues year over year.

Owners of all ages, with all sizes and styles of boats, can build a successful business on the water. Some Boatsetter owners reported generating more than $100,000 in revenue in 2021 alone, and Boatsetter Operators - peer-to-peer owners with one or more boats listed - make up 70 percent of the Boatsetter platform. Millennials make up the largest segment of Boatsetter owners at 42 percent, while 75 percent of the boats that are rented are less than 26 feet in length.

"I've always had a very strong love for boating and the boating world," said Kayvon Nazarian, a 21-year-old Atlanta owner who joined Boatsetter last July and currently has seven boats and jet skis available for rent. "Boatsetter is so simple and easy to use; you can literally go out today and buy and boat, list it on their platform with a couple of clicks, and get bookings for that evening."

Boatsetter has more than 50,000 boat listings of all styles and sizes, from pontoons, to catamarans, to fishing boats, to yachts, with the smallest boat for rent measuring just 8 feet in length, to the largest at 222 feet. Boatsetter is available in over 700 locations and counting.

About Boatsetter: With more than 50,000 boat listings available in over 700 locations worldwide, Boatsetter is the leading marketplace for on-the-water experiences and boat rentals. Boatsetter makes it easy to discover and enjoy a wide array of on- water experiences by connecting qualified renters directly to boat owners and licensed captains. Featuring the largest database of USCG-certified captains, Boatsetter makes it possible for even those with no prior boating experience to tap into an incredible array of water activities. Credited with pioneering the first ever peer-to-peer boat rental insurance policy, Boatsetter has empowered boat owners with the tools and support to become entrepreneurs on the water. Launched commercially in 2014, over one million boaters and boat owners alike have turned to Boatsetter to discover the endless possibilities the water provides.

JET H2 Energy combines companies’ retail and hydrogen expertise to form a leading player in hydrogen mobility

HOUSTON & ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$PSX #hydrogen--Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) and H2 Energy Europe (“H2 Energy”) today announced they have closed on a 50-50 joint venture to set up and operate a network of hydrogen refueling retail sites in Germany, Austria and Denmark.

JET H2 Energy Austria GmbH (JET H2 Energy), the joint venture between subsidiaries Phillips 66 Limited and H2 Energy Europe SA, will combine the retail expertise of Phillips 66 and the hydrogen expertise of H2 Energy and be well positioned to boost the development of hydrogen in Europe. The new company plans to develop approximately 250 hydrogen refueling stations by 2026.

“We will make hydrogen a leading energy solution for emission-free mobility,” said Olaf Borbor, Chief Executive Officer of JET H2 Energy. “We will align stakeholders’ interests along the hydrogen value chain and create a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem.”

JET H2 Energy’s network of hydrogen refueling stations for heavy- and light-duty and passenger vehicles will comprise existing JET^® branded retail stations as well as new locations on major transport routes and at customer sites. JET H2 Energy will require governmental funding, where applicable, for the development of the refueling network.

The company intends to supply its sites with green hydrogen and build relationships with customers and original equipment manufacturers. Green hydrogen is a zero-carbon energy carrier and fuel that is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. In vehicles, hydrogen is converted to electricity in fuel cells that power cars and trucks, with water being its only emission.

JET H2 Energy will benefit from its close ties with Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility, the exclusive European reseller of the Hyundai Xcient hydrogen fuel cell truck.

“Phillips 66 has a successful retail presence in Europe with its JET^® brand,” Borbor said. “H2 Energy has a proven track record in creating a successful green hydrogen ecosystem in Switzerland. The parties’ competencies complement each other ideally for the next stage in building up the hydrogen economy.”

The JET H2 Energy management team is represented by Borbor, Chief Financial Officer Markus Wolf and Commercial Manager Jonas Erdmann.

Phillips 66 Limited is a U.K.-based, wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company. Phillips 66 has more than 1,000 JET^® branded stations in Europe and a growing hydrogen refueling network in Switzerland through its participation in the Coop Mineraloel AG joint venture. Through its Emerging Energy organization, Phillips 66 is building a lower-carbon business and pursuing opportunities in the areas of hydrogen, renewable fuels, batteries and carbon capture.

Swiss-headquartered H2 Energy Europe is a joint venture between commodity trading firm Trafigura Pte Ltd. and H2 Energy Holding AG, a leading hydrogen provider in Europe with investments in the production, distribution and utilization of green hydrogen. Through its affiliated companies, H2 Energy was the first to develop and deliver hydrogen fuel cell trucks to commercial users and create a green hydrogen fueling ecosystem in Switzerland.

H2 Energy is developing a 1-gigawatt electrolysis plant in Denmark capable of generating roughly 100,000 metric tons a year of green hydrogen from electricity sourced from offshore wind to supply the transportation and energy sector in northern Europe.

About Phillips 66

Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) manufactures, transports and markets products that drive the global economy. The diversified energy company’s portfolio includes Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties businesses. Headquartered in Houston, Phillips 66 has employees around the globe who are committed to safely and reliably providing energy and improving lives while pursuing a lower-carbon future.

About H2 Energy

H2 Energy was established in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2014 with the vision to play an active role in fighting climate change. The company wants to make hydrogen from renewable energy a cornerstone of the energy system by expanding the entire value chain across production, distribution and consumption in a sustainable and economic way. H2 Energy is involved in the entire hydrogen value chain, offering know-how and engineering each step of the way. The company draws on many years of experience, particularly in creating hydrogen production plants, establishing hydrogen refueling stations and in the engineering of hydrogen fuel cell applications. In 2020, Trafigura and H2 Energy announced a commercial collaboration to develop the production, storage and distribution of green hydrogen for refueling stations and industrial customers. Under the joint venture H2 Energy Europe, the two companies will invest in green hydrogen ecosystems across Europe. Visit: www.h2energy.ch

Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Drawdown Fund co-lead Series D round

Proceeds used to accelerate scale, progress toward producing safest, most reliable, lowest-delivered-cost drinking water on the planet

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SOURCE Global, PBC (“SOURCE”), a world leader in sustainable drinking water technology, today announced that funds managed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Drawdown Fund co-led its $130 million Series D equity financing. Other significant participants in the financing are Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund, Fifth Wall, Blackrock, WIND Ventures, Duke Energy, Harvard Management Company, Material Impact Partners, Monashee Capital, and the Lightsmith Group.

To date, SOURCE has raised a total of $270 million and built a presence in more than 50 countries. The company plans to further scale its commercial, community, and consumer offerings globally and to accelerate innovation in advanced renewable water technologies.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with this category-creating business,” said Carmichael Roberts, Managing Partner at Material Impact and Co-Lead at Breakthrough Energy's Investment Committee. “Over the last half-dozen years, SOURCE has been building a tightly interconnected set of global solutions that have the power to make potable water poverty a thing of the past. As SOURCE continues to execute and grow, we believe the company will have a generational impact.”

SOURCE Global’s patented Hydropanel technology – the world’s first truly renewable drinking water platform – uniquely serves the significant, fast-growing demand for clean, sustainable drinking water delivered through climate-resilient solutions at scale. SOURCE^® Hydropanels use the sun to draw pure, constantly replenished water vapor out of the air and transform it into fresh, perfectly mineralized drinking water even in remote, low-humidity locations. Hydropanels scale from small arrays to multi-thousand panel water farms serving entire communities, businesses, and sustainable bottling operations.

“Clean, safe water is humanity’s most essential need, but at least 2.4 billion people on Planet Earth don’t have clean water to drink, and by 2050, six billion people will suffer from clean water scarcity as a result of climate change,” said Dr. Cody Friesen, Founder and CEO of SOURCE. “With this new round of funding, we will accelerate our work to make high-quality drinking water an endlessly renewable resource and move closer to our vision of bringing perfect water to every person, every place.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.021500 per unit, payable on August 12, 2022 to unitholders of record on July 29, 2022. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of April 2022 and reported natural gas production during March 2022. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in May 2022.

The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations.

Recorded oil cash receipts from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled $4.3 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $105.29/Bbl, up $0.3 million from the prior month’s oil cash receipts.

Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $1.4 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $4.52/Mcf, down $0.4 million from the prior month.

Total accrued operating expenses for the period were $2.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from the prior period. Capital expenditures increased $2.5 million from the prior period to $3.5 million primarily due to the drilling of seven non-operated drilling projects in the Permian area by a private operator and a large public operator.

As previously disclosed, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) has established a $1.5 million cash reserve for approved, future development expenses in 2022. Given the increase in capital expenditures on the Underlying Properties for the current month compared to prior months this year, the Sponsor is releasing $0.9 million from the reserve to partially fund the current month’s capital expenditures. The remaining reserve of $0.6 million will be held to fund incremental future development expenses; however, if those expenses are ultimately delayed or are less than expected, or if the outlook changes, amounts reserved but unspent will be released as an incremental cash distribution in a future period.

About Permianville Royalty Trust

Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain, predominantly non-operated, oil and gas properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders and expectations regarding the cash reserve for future development expenses. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which have experienced significant fluctuation since the beginning of 2020 as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and the Sponsor. Low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust, reserves for anticipated future expenses and the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2021 and prior periods. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#boaters--Boatsetter, the leading marketplace for on-the-water experiences and boat rentals in the U.S., is creating an entirely new industry within the sharing economy - and rapidly forging a path to entrepreneurship for thousands of boat owners in the process. In Chicago, Boatsetter saw 118 percent year over year growth in boat rental bookings.

Boatsetter is the world’s only legally compliant and insured peer-to-peer boat rental platform, having partnered with GEICO and BoatUS to pioneer the first-ever peer-to-peer boat rental insurance policy in 2017. This opened up a new world of possibilities for boat owners who, on average, use their boats only two weeks of the year.

“There are more than 15 million privately owned boats in the U.S., most of which sit unused for the vast majority of the year,” says Jackie Baumgarten, CEO of Boatsetter. “This makes them extremely expensive and underutilized assets. Boatsetter is a game changer because we help defray the cost of ownership, and we enable entrepreneurs to start their own business from the ground up.”

Boatsetter provides private boat owners with a way to safely and legitimately list their boats, and its intuitive platform makes it simple to manage one’s bookings. Boatsetter connects owners with renters and U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains, and manages all of the logistics to allow private boat owners to earn income. To date, more than one million boaters and boat owners alike have used the platform, and last year, Boatsetter saw a 50 percent increase in the number of boats listed for rent.

"Our voyage with Boatsetter started back in 2013 as a way to offset the costs of boat ownership when my friend and boat partner moved away. Now our vibrant small business with 5 boats -and growing- provides a unique experience for clients, and income for our employees, cleaning crew, mechanics, and independent captains," said Chris Brooks, a local Chicago owner who has completed almost 430 bookings since joining Boatsetter.

"There is nothing better than the positive energy created by dozens of our smiling customers casting off to enjoy the beauty of sparkling Lake Michigan on a glorious summer day. [We] have Boatsetter to thank for building the team, technology and network to bring together fun-seeking customers with boat owners like myself."

Boating is a natural extension to the sharing economy, which has allowed people to turn homes, cars, RVs, swimming pools, and more into revenue generators. In fact, Boatsetter has a higher cohort revenue retention than the leading homesharing platform, meaning boat owners realize higher revenues year over year.

Owners of all ages, with all sizes and styles of boats, can build a successful business on the water. Some Boatsetter owners reported generating more than $100,000 in revenue in 2021 alone, and Boatsetter Operators - peer-to-peer owners with one or more boats listed - make up 70 percent of the Boatsetter platform. Millennials make up the largest segment of Boatsetter owners at 42 percent, while 75 percent of the boats that are rented are less than 26 feet in length.

"Boatsetter made it easy to get started and they've helped me extend my marketing to reach renters who are local to Chicago and visitors to the area," said Dan Vevers, another local Chicago owner who joined Boatsetter in May 2021. "So far, I've completed almost 65 successful rentals with my boat, 'Yachts of Fun.'"

Boatsetter has more than 50,000 boat listings of all styles and sizes, from pontoons, to catamarans, to fishing boats, to yachts, with the smallest boat for rent measuring just 8 feet in length, to the largest at 222 feet. Boatsetter is available in over 700 locations and counting.

About Boatsetter: With more than 50,000 boat listings available in over 700 locations worldwide, Boatsetter is the leading marketplace for on-the-water experiences and boat rentals. Boatsetter makes it easy to discover and enjoy a wide array of on-water experiences by connecting qualified renters directly to boat owners and licensed captains. Featuring the largest database of USCG-certified captains, Boatsetter makes it possible for even those with no prior boating experience to tap into an incredible array of water activities. Credited with pioneering the first ever peer-to-peer boat rental insurance policy, Boatsetter has empowered boat owners with the tools and support to become entrepreneurs on the water. Launched commercially in 2014, over one million boaters and boat owners alike have turned to Boatsetter to discover the endless possibilities the water provides.

Tigo RSS Transmitters with Pure Signal™ technology unleash design flexibility for large-scale commercial and industrial solar installations.

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tigo Energy, Inc., the solar industry’s leading Flex MLPE (Module Level Power Electronics) supplier, today announced the launch of its Pure Signal™ technology for Tigo RSS Transmitters. Designed to enhance powerline communication (PLC) signal quality, Pure Signal technology reduces the impact of electromagnetic interference in large-scale solar systems. Built on patented advanced rapid shutdown technology, Tigo RSS Transmitters with Pure Signal technology pair with an industry-leading list of third-party solar inverters, deliver a new level of design and installation flexibility for solar installers and EPCs, and enable significant reductions in balance of system (BOS) and labor costs.

The Tigo RSS Transmitter with Pure Signal technology is designed to serve Tigo customers who deploy increasingly large and complex systems for the commercial and industrial solar markets. Disturbances in PLC signals, often referred to as ‘crosstalk,’ can result in reduced effectiveness of system communications functions in large-scale systems. With Tigo Pure Signal technology, cable runs from different circuits or adjacent inverters will no longer risk PLC signal disruption.

“The Pure Signal technology helped us avert a significant amount of rework after a design review showed that some of our cable runs could be at risk of crosstalk issues,” said Mike Ulanski, director of construction at Catalyze. “Without the ability to put the new Tigo RSS Transmitter into play quickly, the timeline and profitability of the project would have taken a hit. The installation guidelines and design review from Tigo have been extraordinarily helpful, but this Pure Signal technology gives us much more flexibility at both design and install phases.”

Tigo RSS Transmitters with Pure Signal technology are UL PVRSS certified with hundreds of inverter models from leading manufacturers. The new generation of RSS Transmitters with Pure Signal technology are compatible with the company’s TS4-A-F and TS4-A-2F rapid shutdown product family and can be easily integrated into new projects or retrofitted into existing installations.

“Our mission is to provide high-quality, reliable, and flexible MLPE solutions to meet customers’ needs for different system configurations. Pure Signal technology delivers on that mission,” said Jing Tian, chief growth officer at Tigo Energy. “With Pure Signal technology we open a new universe of solar installation design possibilities and provide cost savings in BOS and labor. I am delighted to see companies like Catalyze engaging to take full advantage of the solution.”

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Excelerate Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EE) (“Excelerate”) and Bulgaria’s Overgas Inc. AD (“Overgas”) announced today that the two Parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), in Sofia, Bulgaria on July 14, 2022 relating to the sale of regasified liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) downstream of Excelerate’s planned Vlora LNG terminal in Albania.

Under this MOU, the two Parties will enter into a negotiation for Overgas to purchase up to 1.0 billion cubic meters of regasified LNG annually for ten years from Excelerate (or an affiliated entity) via the Vlora Terminal and the proposed Vlora-Fier Pipeline which is expected to interconnect with existing natural gas infrastructure in Europe’s Southern Gas Corridor. The MOU expands the scope of Excelerate’s Vlora Terminal project to include downstream sales of regasified LNG into Europe and has the potential to bring much needed supply diversification not only in Bulgaria, but also in neighboring countries in the region.

“For many countries in Europe’s Southern Gas Corridor, flexible access to LNG remains critical to ensuring their energy security,” said Oliver Simpson, Commercial Vice President of Excelerate. “Integrated LNG projects like the Vlora Terminal are a logical solution for meeting the urgent energy needs of Bulgaria and other Balkan and European countries linked to the Southern Gas Corridor. We look forward to working with Overgas and believe this agreement is the first of several that will address the lack of supply diversity in the region."

Svetoslav Ivanov, Executive Director of Overgas said, “We are excited to begin working with an industry leader such as Excelerate. The signing of this agreement is a phenomenal example of the EU’s progress towards energy diversification and energy security in the Union, and especially in the Balkans.”

This agreement follows previous MOUs between Excelerate, Snam S.p.A (Snam), and Albgaz Sh.a (Albgaz) and between Overgas and Albgaz to explore potential cooperation for the construction of a natural gas pipeline from the Vlora Terminal to other natural gas infrastructure in Albania.
