First installation of high-fidelity continuous methane monitoring sensors outside of the U.S. by Project Canary to support Kellas’ emissions reduction program

DENVER & ABERDEEN, Scotland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kellas Midstream, the BlackRock and GIC backed company responsible for transporting 40 percent of the U.K.’s domestic gas production, announced today that it has deployed continuous emissions monitoring at its Teesside Central Area Transmission System (CATS) terminal in partnership with Project Canary®, a U.S.-based SaaS-focused ESG data analytics firm. The ultra-sensitive Canary sensors have been installed at multiple points around CATS to precisely detect, monitor, and measure methane emissions at the site level in real-time.



  • Emissions monitoring technology is key to Kellas’ near-term carbon intensity reduction strategy and ESG leadership.
  • This pioneering monitoring technology allows Kellas to better understand if and when they have emission events and map any trends to enable rapid intervention.
  • Rigorous technology review identified only one product, Project Canary, that was ready for commercial operation.
  • Project Canary provides direct continuous (real-time) & accurate (to 0.25ppm) measurement of methane through ultra-sensitive Project Canary sensors installed at multiple locations around CATS facility.

In 2021, a significant proportion of U.K. energy demand was fulfilled by oil and natural gas.

Continued investment in oil and gas is necessary to ensure a smooth energy transition. Even the most optimistic forecasts for adopting renewable energy sources predict that the U.K. will continue to need and use hydrocarbons for decades to come. As hydrocarbons continue to play a critical role in the U.K.'s energy mix, energy security and ESG leadership are becoming even more important for both the economy and the environment. Kellas is committed to meeting this demand responsibly and maximizing visibility and transparency for all stakeholders–including the government, owners, and the local communities in which it operates.

“Kellas supports the North Sea Transition deal’s commitment to decarbonization. We must lead the way in reducing carbon intensity in our own operations,” said Andy Hessell, Managing Director of Kellas. “We have achieved a 25 percent reduction in carbon intensity in our existing operations over the last few years and aim to make further significant reductions by the end of the year in 2024. Project Canary’s technology enables us to precisely measure our performance, drive improvement, and minimise the potential for methane emissions from the gas we transport for our domestic consumers.”

This partnership with Kellas represents Project Canary’s first international system installation, as the company has grown rapidly in the U.S. with its comprehensive measurement and environmental performance certification solutions. 12 monitoring units were successfully deployed at Kellas’ CATS terminal in December 2021.

“We’ve spent the last four years providing U.S. companies with innovative emissions data to facilitate demonstrable environmental performance changes. With Kellas, we’ve found the right partner to take our commercialized climate-tech for high-performance emissions monitoring to Europe,” said Chris Romer, CEO of Project Canary. “North Sea gas production will play an essential role in Europe’s energy transition, and Kellas is leading the way to a lower-carbon future.”

Sustainability is part of Kellas’ DNA, and this partnership aligns with the company’s ambitious ESG strategy. Through a series of decarbonization initiatives, including Project Canary’s continuous emissions monitoring, Kellas is working towards a sustainable and profitable net-zero carbon future.

  • Sales grew 50% including the 2021 acquisition of Eaton’s hydraulics business, reaching EUR 4.9 billion. Organic growth was 13%.
  • Operating profits (EBITA) increased by 27%.
  • Growth momentum continued despite high inflation, ongoing supply chain disruptions, exit from Russia, and COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
  • Semikron Danfoss transaction closed in August, building a leading position in electrification.
  • New Danfoss ESG strategy launched and emission reduction targets for 2030 approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
  • Outlook for 2022 raised to EUR 9.5-10.2 billion sales based on a strong first half and the closing of the Semikron Danfoss transaction.

NORDBORG, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Danfoss is transforming, with half-year results setting a strong foundation to deliver on our Core & Clear Strategy 2025. In the first six months of 2022, Danfoss grew by EUR 1.6 billion, reaching EUR 4.9 billion in sales. The acquired hydraulics business added sales of EUR 1.1 billion, while organic growth was 13%.


Growth was broadly based across the major markets of North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, as well as in all three business segments. The Danfoss Power Solutions segment, which provides mobile and industrial hydraulics and electrification solutions, stood out with significant growth. Furthermore, the increasing demand for energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions as well as power electronics was driving a growing demand for technologies from Danfoss Climate Solutions and Danfoss Drives.

On July 15, 2022, Danfoss signed an agreement to sell its Russian activities to local management in Russia. Closing of the transaction is expected in September 2022.

Danfoss continued significant investments in innovation (R&D), up 38% from the first half last year. At the same time, Danfoss delivered a 27% increase in operating profits with EBITA of EUR 570 million. Net profit amounted to EUR 289 million, negatively impacted by the write-down of net assets related to the Russia exit.

“Danfoss is transforming at full speed, and I am very pleased with the outstanding teamwork and strong performance of our teams around the world despite the challenging times. With the transformational half-year results, we are setting a strong foundation to deliver on our Core & Clear Strategy 2025, fueled by bold investments for our long-term success. In a challenging business environment, we maintained our strong growth momentum, while keeping the integration of the hydraulics business well on track. On top of this, we closed the Semikron Danfoss transaction. The world is on the tip of an electrification revolution, and with this, we take an important step building a leading position. With the results for the first half and the closing of the Semikron transaction, we have raised our sales expectations for 2022,” says Kim Fausing, President & CEO of Danfoss.

“We have taken a big and bold step to put sustainability at the center of our Core & Clear 2025 strategy. The new ESG ambitions are clear, and our climate targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. We are energized by our promise to be the leading technology partner for our customers, decarbonizing through energy efficiency, machine productivity, low emissions, and electrification. Danfoss has never been better positioned to deliver on our purpose to engineer tomorrow to build a better future,” says Kim Fausing.

Executing ESG ambitions

In April, Danfoss launched its 2030 ESG ambitions on decarbonization, circularity, and diversity & inclusion. The ambitions are an important part of Danfoss’ business strategy, Core & Clear 2025. In May, Danfoss’ climate targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. Danfoss will continue to accelerate its efforts on decarbonization.

Outlook 2022 raised

Danfoss assumes a continued growth in the second half of the year with an ambition to expand or maintain market share. Due to a strong sales performance in the first half of 2022 and the closing of the Semikron Danfoss transaction, sales are now expected to be in the range of EUR 9.5-10.2 billion for the full year compared to previous expectations of EUR 8.8-9.8 billion. The expected EBITA margin in the range of 11.4-12.9% is unchanged, leading to an increase in EBITA in nominal figures. This is following continued investments in the development of new products and solutions. The expected growth and profitability performance is dependent on the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain disruptions, as well as the current volatility in the world economy.

Key figures for first half of 2022

  • Sales increased by 50% to EUR 4,906 million (H1 2021: 3,265m) including the acquired hydraulics business. Organic growth was 13%.
  • Operating profit before acquisition-related amortization (EBITA) increased by 27% to EUR 570 million (H1 2021: 449m). The EBITA margin reached 11.6% (H1 2021: 13.8%).
  • Net profit reached EUR 289 million (H1 2021: 286m), negatively impacted by the write-down of net assets related to the Russia exit.
  • Free operating cash flow after financial items and tax (before M&A) was EUR -226 million (H1 2021: 63m).
  • Investments in innovation (R&D) were up 38% to EUR 212 million (H1 2021: 154m), corresponding to 4.3% of sales (H1 2021: 4.7%).

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Port Infrastructure Market By Port Type, By Application, By Construction Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global port infrastructure market was valued at $148,147.3 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $243,086.3 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2030. Port infrastructure is the operating base of the port to sustain ships, cargo, and passengers passing through the port. Expansion of port infrastructure requires capital investment, long implementation time, and therefore long-term planning. The design of port infrastructure must be responsive to the needs of the shipping, logistics, and transportation industries.

The growth of the port infrastructure market is expected to be driven by increase in government expenditure on port infrastructure to promote safe and efficient commercial activities. In addition, rise in need for liquefied natural gas exports via marine transport is likely to contribute toward the growth of the industry. Furthermore, numerous sectors rely on marine shipping to import and export commodities throughout the world, as transporting products by air is more expensive than transporting commodities by water. Thus, this factor is expected to significantly drive the growth of the global port infrastructure market.

However, the expansion of the port infrastructure industry is hampered by trade obstacles. Tariffs are a type of trade barrier that imposes a levy on imported products. Tariffs increase the cost of imported products. Higher tariffs are due to higher price of imported goods. In addition, higher tariffs lead to lower port transit and shipping.

For instance, in comparison to exports to China, the U.S. import from China is high. To regulate imports and save American firms, the U.S. Government implemented a tariff tax system. However, because the building and maintenance of port infrastructure requires a significant amount of cash and takes a long time to complete, these difficulties are projected to act as challenges for the market growth.

A country's economic progress is aided by efficient trade activities. As a result, sea ports play an important role in economic activities, particularly in coastal locations. Every year, the number of passengers travelling by sea and the number of commodities transported by water are witnessed to increase significantly. Hence, it leads to construction of new ports. The need for global port infrastructure is likely to rise as a result of this scenario. Furthermore, the use of IoT and AI for shipping and transport management can shorten the time required for waterway transport delivery, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market expansion.

Latest Partnerships Include Integrations with Ubeswap, Valora, Node Finance, and Flywallet

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flowcarbon, a leading provider of on and off-chain carbon reduction solutions today announced a series of key blockchain market infrastructure partnerships. Integrations are underway with decentralized exchange and automated market maker protocol Ubeswap, transaction router and software development kit (SDK) Node Finance, the Valora mobile wallet, and Ubeswap-enabled dapp Flywallet (which enables saving for travel). Combined, these partnerships create the infrastructure for using Flowcarbon’s tokenized carbon credits across applications and functionality on the Celo blockchain.


“Together with Ubeswap, Valora, Node Finance, and Flywallet we’re building an entirely new ecosystem for carbon credits that increases access but also brings new applications,” said Phil Fogel, Chief Blockchain Officer at Flowcarbon. “Flowcarbon is building the market infrastructure for carbon credits in a much more seamless way that addresses pain points, inefficiencies and high costs of the current OTC market – ensuring people get transparent pricing, eliminating layers of manual processing and brokerage fees, and unlocking access for individuals and small businesses.”

Ubeswap enables Celo users and applications to trade between any two ERC20 tokens and provides the decentralized infrastructure that enables the integration of tokens into applications across the Celo ecosystem. It powers a robust ecosystem of applications where Flowcarbon tokens, like GNT, can be used for everything from offsetting to lending.

"Ubeswap is excited to work with Flowcarbon to bring the liquidity and benefits of Flowcarbon's ReFi ecosystem to more people, starting with the launch of a brand new GNT/cUSD liquidity pool. Both Ubeswap's and Flowcarbon's decentralization goals are furthered as more liquidity and users enter the ecosystem," said Evan Kereiakes, Business Lead at Ubeswap.

More Flowcarbon integrations include:

  • Node Finance App, which provides behind-the-scenes transaction routing between applications on the Celo platform, so users can transact with fewer steps and determine the best available price for GNT. This addresses a key challenge in the existing voluntary market, which is the lack of price transparency for carbon offset credits.
  • Valora, which offers an easy-to-use experience for people that are new to crypto by providing anyone with a mobile phone an easy way to buy, hold, and use Celo assets across Web3 dapps, including Flowcarbon–offering a way for retail users to offset their carbon footprint from the convenience of their mobile phones.
  • Flywallet, which enables users to save up money for flights and offset the carbon footprint of those flights.

Fogel said, “We are integrating with best-in-class partners to create limitless possibilities for enabling people to get personally involved in offsetting their own carbon footprint.”

Planned Statewide Network of EV Charging Stations to Encourage Electric Vehicle Use

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CRA International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial, and management consulting services, today announced a successful request for proposal (RFP) and procurement process on behalf of the Indiana Utility Group Consortium for its Crossroads EV Corridor, a planned network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Indiana to encourage the use of electric vehicles and improve air quality for all Hoosiers and visitors.


CRA designed and ran the procurement for the Consortium, which was organized by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). 17 entities responded to the RFP, offering a wide array of EVSE technology, configurations, and EV charging networks. The successful vendor in the RFP was Shell Recharge, which will deploy a combination of Tritium and ABB DC fast-charging equipment, subject to the needs of the specific utility site, and will be managed by Greenlots SKY EV charging network software.

The number of equipment options proposed and network software solutions that are now available in the market was certainly eye-opening,” said Dean Koujak, a Principal at Charles River Associates, who led the RFP process on behalf of the Consortium. “To us, this is a clear indication that EV supply equipment technology and commercial availability has matured. This is the right time for electric utilities, municipalities and other entities to consider large-scale procurement and deployment of EV charging networks.”

The Consortium members benefitted greatly from aggregating their needs and in following a systematic process to matching respondent offers,” said Jim McMahon, Vice President in CRA’s Energy Practice. “I believe the Consortium members ultimately identified the least-cost options that satisfied their functional needs today and into the future.”

The Corridor is supported by grants from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, which is the Beneficiary Lead Agency of the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Environmental Mitigation Trust fund and oversees distributions of funds to successful applicants.

The 100 V EPC2218 GaN FETs alleviate space limitations to achieve higher frequency and power rating in BRC’s new M500/14 power optimizer



EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#GaN--BRC Solar GmbH has revolutionized the photovoltaic market with its power optimizer, increasing energy yield and performance of pv plants and systems. Designing-in Efficient Power Conversion’s EPC2218 100 V FETs into its next generation M500/14 power optimizer has enabled a higher current density due to the low power dissipation and the small size of the GaN FET making the critical load circuit more compact. The small parasitic capacitance and inductance of the GaN FETs creates a clean switching performance which allows good EMI behavior in the field. Another benefit of the GaN FETs is the zero reverse recovery losses.

The EPC2218 is a 100 V GaN FET, 3.2 mΩ, 231 Apulsed, with a small footprint of just 3.5 mm x 1.95 mm, offering lower losses and smaller size than comparable silicon MOSFETs for increased power density.

BRC’s previous range, the M400/12, handled currents up to 12 Amps and a maximum power operation at 400 watts. By changing from Si FETs to GaN FETs the company achieved an increase of output current to 14 Amps with a power rating of 500 watts – while keeping the same board size. Also, the switching frequency in the M500/14 is twice as high than the previous generation allowing for passive components, such as capacitors and inductors, to be decreased in value or even completely removed.

The company’s optimizer is only active when shading on the photovoltaic module appears. The predominant case is a fully irradiated module, where the circuit goes into an inactive state. The switching FET is continuously closed in this situation. It is important that the power losses on the board be kept as low as possible. Because of that, the EPC2218 is the optimal solution for BRC’s application because of its low RDS(on). The static losses are also extremely small thanks to the excellent conductivity of the GaN FET.

During the active mode the switching behavior of the module optimizer leads to a small and acceptable power loss. The low parasitic components of the EPC2218 enable fast and clean switching in the application.

In both modes, the temperature rise of the FET is small and allows good thermal transfer to the board via the LGA pads of the EPC2218 even at higher ambient temperatures. Therefore, an additional heatsink is not required further saving space and weight.

Winona Kremb from BRC Solar Gmbh, commented, “EPC’s eGaN FETs open a new horizon in the development of high-density power electronics. We will watch the further applications and products from EPC and are excited to be part of the journey.”

“Working with BRC has been an exciting design-in opportunity and, together with our distribution partner Finepower, we have been able to achieve great results moving the company from silicon to GaN. Designers using GaN can now take advantage of devices that are higher performance, smaller, more thermally efficient, and at a comparable cost,” added Stefan Werkstetter, VP of Sales, EMEA.

About EPC

EPC is the leader in enhancement mode gallium nitride (eGaN®) based power management. eGaN FETs and integrated circuits provide performance many times greater than the best silicon power MOSFETs in applications such as DC-DC converters, remote sensing technology (lidar), motor drives for eMobility, robotics, drones, and low-cost satellites.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SMBC and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., members of SMBC Group, announced the completed execution of one the largest private placements in Latin America in recent history, refinancing Innergex’s Chilean platform, with several businesses playing integral roles in the deal’s success. The deal involved the close of Aela Generación S.A.’s $710MM green bond issuance, the proceeds of which were used to partially finance the Aela acquisition, refinance all existing debt in a portfolio of 609MW, and fund the installation of a battery energy storage system.


“The closing of this transaction demonstrates the well-coordinated effort among several deal teams that brought market-leading execution on large and complex transactions such as Innergex’s private placement,” said David Gonzalez, Managing Director and Head of Project & Structured Finance-Latin America. “We want to thank everyone involved for their hard work resulting in another successful transaction, further strengthening our team’s leadership in Project and Structured Finance in Latin America.”

SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. closed its first buy-side transaction in Latin America on June 9, acting as an exclusive buy-side advisor on a $686MM deal for Innergex Renewable Energy Inc.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Electric Vehicles and Fuel Cell Vehicles: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


This report discusses three future scenarios, that is, pessimistic, consensus, and optimistic; forecasts are provided for the consensus scenario. Power source (lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells) sales and values are provided. A patent analysis and discussion of power sources and vehicle components describe the areas in which research is being performed and emphasizes intellectual property issues.

Although e-scooters have the largest share in unit sales in the overall EV market, the passenger EV segment holds the highest share in revenue among all the EV segments. The EV market's significant growth in revenue will come from the increasing number of passenger vehicles due to the increasing unit sales and higher unit sale costs.

By region, Asia-Pacific leads the global electric vehicles market. China leads the Asia-Pacific region and the world market in unit sales of electric cars/passenger cars. Europe and North America follow Asia- Pacific in terms of passenger car unit sales. China also leads the world in e-scooter unit sales and revenue.

A rising number of nations have promised to eliminate internal combustion engines or have aggressive car electrification goals for the coming decades. Meanwhile, many automakers have plans to electrify fleets that exceed legislative goals. In 2021, there were five times as many new EV models as in 2015, increasing their appeal to consumers.

The COVID-19 outbreak and Russia and Ukraine war have created a sudden disruption in global supply chains, particularly in the automotive industry. Soon, delays in EV delivery to clients may stifle sales growth in some countries. However, in the long run, government and business efforts to electrify transportation are laying a solid foundation for future EV sales growth.

Access to public charging will need to extend as EV markets grow. Most EV charging now occurs at people's homes and offices. Consumers will increasingly demand EVs provide the same services, simplicity, and autonomy as conventional automobiles.

The values are expressed in billions of dollars ($ billions), and shipments/volumes are expressed in thousands of units. Values are based on the equivalent of wholesale, or the price charged to the retailer before mark-up. However, advanced EVs are sold below the actual manufacturing cost. This may be due to regulatory compliance or the desire to establish a market before the economics of scale take hold. The cost to consumers may be reduced considerably when government subsidies or possible tax breaks are considered in the dealer price.

The publisher analyzed the industry worldwide regarding the manufacturing and deploying technologies or products. For the most relevant and available EVs, The publisher examined the role of government both in regulating the industry and supporting electric vehicle & fuel cell vehicles through promotional incentives.
