National Homebuilder Partners with Ford to Create the “Home of the Future” on Innovation Way

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PulteGroup, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, has built a living laboratory to explore how homeowners will live in the not-so-distant future. Located on “Innovation Way” within Babcock Ranch, America’s first and largest solar-powered town near Fort Myers, Florida, PulteGroup has unveiled two model homes that, while not yet for sale, are testing the latest, and in some cases, not yet commercially available, advancements in sustainable new home technologies and innovations. With More Life Built In®, these Pulte Homes models include integration with the new, all-electric Ford® F-150 Lightning™ vehicle to create backup power and energy management solutions.



Among our core values is foresight for the future, where we are thinking, planning and testing for how people will interact and live within their homes,” said Ryan Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of PulteGroup. “At Innovation Way, we are making the future right at home with cutting-edge technology and homebuilding strategies that represent a new era of smart, comfortable, healthy and sustainable living. Over time, the performance of these homes will provide valuable insight into how we innovate our homes and delight buyers well into the future.”

Built Ford Tough on the Road and at Home
At its homes on Innovation Way, PulteGroup is collaborating with Ford and Sunrun to test how the Ford Intelligent Backup Power system of the F-150 Lightning can serve as a critical lifeline to homeowners during power outages. Both the Home Integration System and the Charge Station Pro are built right into the Pulte home. Once plugged in, a fully charged F-150 Lightning can provide the home with power for up to three days during an outage, or as long as 10 days when used in conjunction with rationing or solar power*. The truck can also optimize the home’s energy usage when bidirectional power is combined with other lower-carbon energy sources to help manage energy costs and consumption.

Ford is committed to leading the electric vehicle revolution with new features that can make people’s lives better and more rewarding. We will continue to work with innovative companies like PulteGroup to demonstrate how the future may look…today,” said Matt Stover, Ford Global Director of Charging and Energy Services. “The ability to showcase, test and learn from the energy storage capabilities of F-150 Lighting in a real-life home setting provides us with valuable knowledge for how electric vehicles can help drive performance, capability and productivity at home, as well as on the road.”

Responsive Home Innovations
Found within the 2,400+ and 3,600+ square-foot, single- and two-story Pulte homes are innovative products and technologies designed to make the future healthier, more productive, comfortable, safer, and responsive to the world around us at home. While just a sampling, included in the test model homes are:

  • Wi-Fi enabled lighting, load centers, thermostats, and kitchen appliances that make it easy for homeowners to control their homes from their phone or sound of their voice
  • Moen® Flo Smart Water Security System to monitor and prevent leaks with whole home eco-friendly water filtration
  • Smart Kitchen faucets and bathroom shower controls that are voice controlled and hands-free
  • Broan® Ventilation System providing fresh air circulation that protects against bacteria, mold, and fungi growth with a series of wall plugs and sensors that identify pollutants and automatically engages ventilation
  • JennAir® and KitchenAid® smart kitchen appliances that connect to WiFi for personalized options and real-time notifications
  • Super Energy Efficient Lennox HVAC System with PureAir System for indoor air quality enhancement
  • Rinnai® recirculating tankless water heater with Smart-Circ™ that provides faster hot water
  • Rheia HVAC delivery system to improve overall A/C and eliminate bulk duct systems
  • High Efficiency Low E impact windows and spray foam ceiling insulation to improve performance and comfort
  • Smart Electrical Panel with Remote On/Off Capability that monitors energy usage by circuit
  • Foam Block with Six-Inch Poured Solid Concrete Exterior Wall System and R-22 performance
  • Back up battery system provided by Florida Power & Light (FPL) to increase energy resiliency and monitor usage
  • Artificial turf in backyards that require little to no maintenance and are environmentally friendly
  • Permeable drive and walkway pavers that allow water to percolate back into the ground instead of via storm water system

Over the next two years, Florida Power & Light (FPL) will collect, analyze and compare the homes’ energy consumption data, with the goal of identifying the most relevant and impactful innovations in sustainability for the homebuyers of tomorrow. Through this data collection and analysis, PulteGroup will receive actionable insights into which specific features and combinations are viable on a larger scale.

Through the design, construction and unveiling of these trailblazing homes, we have been fortunate to collaborate with partners that share our commitment to innovation and quality,” said Richard McCormick, Florida Area President of PulteGroup. “In addition to Ford, FPL and Babcock Ranch developer Kitson & Partners, we are grateful to our collaborators at Moen, Whirlpool, Lennox, Sonos, Broan, Sunrun, Rheia and all of our many supplier partners for embarking on this exciting journey with us.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextDecade Corporation (“NextDecade”) (NASDAQ: NEXT) announced today the execution of a 20-year sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with ENN LNG (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“ENN LNG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENN Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (“ENN”) for the supply of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) from NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG export project (“RGLNG”) in Brownsville, Texas.


Under the SPA, ENN LNG will purchase 1.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG indexed to Henry Hub on a free-on-board basis. The LNG supply will be from the first two trains at RGLNG with the first train expected to start commercial operations as early as 2026.

“We are pleased to announce this long-term LNG SPA with ENN, a premier Chinese energy company. As one of China’s largest private companies, ENN is a major participant in China’s energy market, and we look forward to a successful, long-term relationship with ENN,” said Matt Schatzman, NextDecade’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This SPA underscores the strength of NextDecade’s differentiated offering. The commercial momentum at RGLNG is accelerating and we believe the company is well placed to benefit from the strengthening LNG market.”

Zheng Hongtao, President of ENN Natural Gas Co., Ltd said, “This agreement secures additional volume for our LNG portfolio and helps ensure we can meet the growing demand for secure, flexible, and cleaner energy for our customers in the future. The signing of this SPA reflects ENN’s goal of promoting the global energy transition and is of significance given RGLNG’s low GHG emissions profile relative to other LNG supply sources. We look forward to working with NextDecade in the years to come.”

Assuming the achievement of further LNG contracting and financing, NextDecade anticipates making a positive final investment decision (“FID”) on a minimum of two trains of the Rio Grande LNG export project in the second half of 2022, with FIDs of its remaining three trains to follow thereafter.

Securities and Exchange Commission cautions investors about such offers, which are often below market price

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Constellation (Nasdaq: CEG), America’s largest producer of carbon-free energy, is recommending that investors reject a “mini-tender” offer by TRC Capital Investment Corp. (TRC), a Canadian investment firm. Constellation received notification of an unsolicited mini-tender offer by TRC dated April 1, 2022, to purchase up to 2 million shares of Constellation common stock at a price that was 4.26 percent below Constellation’s common stock share price on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of the offer. The target number of shares is less than 1 percent (0.61%) of Constellation’s outstanding shares.

Constellation does not endorse TRC's mini-tender offer and recommends that its stockholders do not tender their shares in response to the offer because the price is lower than the current market price for Constellation’s shares. Stockholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw them at any time prior to the expiration of the offer, in accordance with the terms of TRC’s offer. The offer is currently scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on May 4, 2022, though TRC may extend the offering period at its discretion.

Mini-tender offers typically aim to acquire less than five percent of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many investor protections, including the disclosure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that apply to larger tender offers under United States securities laws. TRC has a history of making similar mini-tender offers for shares of publicly traded companies.

Constellation urges stockholders to obtain current market quotes for their shares, review the conditions to TRC's mini-tender offer, consult with their brokers or financial advisors and exercise caution with respect to this mini-tender offer. Constellation is not associated with TRC, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation.

The SEC has cautioned investors about these offers, noting that some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will “catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price." The SEC's Tips for Investors regarding mini-tender offers may be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

Constellation requests that a copy of this press release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer.

SAN RAMON, Calif. & SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chevron (NYSE: CVX) announced an agreement to join the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD). Chevron’s involvement aims to help support GCMD’s efforts to develop potentially scalable lower carbon technologies – including those that enable the use of ammonia as a maritime fuel – and the commercial means to enable their adoption.

The GCMD is an independent, non-profit organization, established with support from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. It collaborates with the maritime industry, plans to conduct pilot projects and trials, and advocates for well-designed climate policies and standards.

“Shipping is a hard-to-abate sector and to reach the International Maritime Organization's climate goals, collaboration across the value chain is required,” said Professor Lynn Loo, CEO of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation. “We look forward to working with Chevron and capitalizing on its experience as a fuel producer, supplier and end user to operationalize pilots, which we believe will ultimately shorten the time to deployment and adoption of decarbonization solutions. This partnership will enable both organizations to work closely on the fuels of the future as well as carbon capture technologies, both of which are critical enablers expected to help the sector meet its net zero ambitions.”

As part of its pursuit of a lower carbon future, Chevron Shipping is continuing to explore new technologies, energy-saving devices, and lower carbon fuels, and is collaborating with industry organizations on these potential solutions.

“Lowering the carbon intensity of shipping requires fundamental changes across the entire maritime value chain,” said Mark Ross, president of Chevron Shipping Company. “This is a truly complex task that requires industry-wide collaboration, innovation, and well-designed policy. GCMD brings together knowledge and expertise to help meet this challenge. We look forward to working with our fellow partners to progress our shared lower carbon ambitions.”

In 2021, Chevron launched Chevron New Energies (CNE) to accelerate lower carbon businesses in hydrogen; carbon capture, utilization and storage; offsets; and emerging energy opportunities, as well as support Chevron’s continued focus on renewable fuels and products. As part of its strategy, CNE is focused on customers in sectors of the economy with harder to abate emissions.

“Chevron is leveraging our capabilities, assets, and customer relationships to identify opportunities to lower emissions of our own operations, while also identifying ways that essential sectors of the economy, such as the maritime industry, can achieve their lower carbon goals,” said Austin Knight, vice president of Hydrogen for Chevron New Energies. “Alongside Chevron Shipping, we look forward to collaborating with GCMD and its partners on this effort.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Solar Photovoltaic Growth Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


This study assesses growth opportunities for the global solar PV market and uses proprietary modeling to estimate its revenue potential. The model uses estimated annual capacity additions based on countries' individual and regional targets for 2030 and other secondary resources.

Global concerns about climate change have spurred a flurry of investments in renewable energy sources and other decarbonization initiatives. The efforts to focus on renewables were initiated at the 2016 COP21 in Paris, which led to countries setting renewable energy targets to achieve by 2030 in an attempt to mitigate global warming.

More recently, at COP26, more than 100 countries pledged to cut methane emissions by 30.0% from 2020 levels, which would directly impact the energy sector, considering oil and gas is the main source of methane emissions, further spurring the transition to other renewable sources like solar photovoltaic (PV).

Solar PV is an advantageous option when comparing the various renewable sources available, being a low-investment, low-maintenance option characterized by the year-round abundance of the energy source and ease of accessibility as compared to wind, which needs sizeable resources including land and investment. Advancements in storage technologies have strengthened the case for PV, with variability in production has been a major source of concern in the past.

The study also presents PV market trends that will define the industry's growth, major players across the value chain (PV cells, modules, inverters, and O&M), and the competitive environment. Where applicable, market potential refers to the estimated revenue opportunity size between 2022 and 2030 that is available for interested stakeholders to capitalize on. Key countries in each region are profiled, detailing their market potential.

No accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offers. However, interest on the applicable New Note will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date of the corresponding tendered Old Note.

The complete terms of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Offering Memorandum.

Holders of any Old Notes issued in certificated form and that are held of record by a custodian bank, depositary, broker, trust company or other nominee may also contact such record holder for assistance concerning the Exchange Offers.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum. Tenders of Old Notes in connection with any of the Exchange Offers may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 19, 2022, unless extended (the “Withdrawal Deadline”), but may not be withdrawn at any time thereafter. Following the Withdrawal Deadline, tenders of Old Notes may not be validly withdrawn unless P66 Co is otherwise required by law to permit withdrawal. Consents to the proposed amendments may be revoked only by validly withdrawing the associated tendered Old Notes. A valid withdrawal of tendered Old Notes prior to the Withdrawal Deadline will be deemed to be a concurrent revocation of the related consent to the proposed amendments to the applicable PSXP Indentures, and a revocation of consent to the proposed amendments prior to the Withdrawal Deadline will be deemed to be a concurrent withdrawal of the related tendered Old Notes.

Subject to applicable law, each Exchange Offer and each Consent Solicitation is being made independently of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, and P66 Co reserves the right to terminate, withdraw or amend each Exchange Offer and each Consent Solicitation independently of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations at any time and from time to time, as described in the Offering Memorandum.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, P66 Co and Phillips 66 will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which they will agree to exchange the New Notes for registered notes having substantially the same terms as the New Notes or, in certain circumstances, to register the resale of New Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until they are registered, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Old Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in the Exchange Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum and eligibility certification.

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA) today announced that its Massena facility in New York has earned provisional certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) for both its smelter and casthouse.


Massena is the world’s longest continuously operating smelter, with aluminum production beginning in 1902. During its long history of manufacturing excellence, the smelter has undergone numerous upgrades and currently has a nameplate capacity of 130,000 metric tons, all powered by renewable hydroelectricity.

“Earning certifications from ASI aligns with our vision to reinvent the aluminum industry for a sustainable future,” said John Slaven, Alcoa’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer. “This recognition for Massena is welcome news for the facility’s 120 years of continual production and the important work that our employees do there every day to consistently improve for the benefit of our customers, communities and the environment.”

The provisional ASI Performance Standard certification will bring Alcoa’s total number of facilities certified to ASI’s standards to 16 global sites. Also, Alcoa has earned ASI’s Chain of Custody certification, which allows the company to globally market and sell ASI-certified aluminum. The Performance Standard certifications and the Chain of Custody (CoC) certification align with two of Alcoa’s core sustainability objectives – improving the company’s operational footprint and enhancing the value of its products through differentiation.

The ASI Certification program is the most comprehensive in the industry, developed via a multi-stakeholder consultation process that defines robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and criteria, including key issues such as biodiversity, rights for Indigenous Peoples, and greenhouse gas emissions.

“ASI congratulates Alcoa on Massena’s achievements for the aluminum sector and the historical industrial development it helped bring to the region,” said Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI. “During its proud history, the facility has continued innovating to meet the challenges of a constantly changing sustainability landscape, and achieving Performance Standard Certification is a demonstration of this commitment.”

The provisional status is due to some criteria requiring an on-site evaluation by an ASI accredited auditor, a practice that complies with ASI’s updated bylaws related to the travel delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

He is on Chevron’s founding enterprise leadership team of Elevate, an in-house diversity and inclusive program, and regularly engages in diversity, inclusion and mentoring initiatives.

Steve Puckett, OBE, is a business leader and independent director with extensive experience in growing businesses in Asia. Over the past 40 years, Steve has forged an impressive career in the energy industry. Originally with ExxonMobil, he held senior executive positions in Asia including in Japan, Hong Kong, China and Singapore. For the past 22 years, Steve has been consulting to clients that have included major international and national oil companies, blue-chip financial institutions, global professional services organisations and government authorities. He is executive chairman of TRI-ZEN International Pte Ltd, an advisory business with a primary focus on strategy, business development, and M&A for the energy industries in Asia.

We are excited to be able to recognise Steve’s long-term commitment to the industry with the 2022 “F&L Asia Lifetime Achievement Award”. Steve is the recognised expert on the wider Asia business environment, having developed numerous businesses and projects across the region, ranging from billion-dollar country entries for international corporates to entrepreneurial start-ups. Steve is also the co-founding director of the Asian Lubricants Industry Association (ALIA), the industry body representing Asia’s lubricants value chain, and has been instrumental in enabling ALIA to withstand the challenges presented by Covid-19 at a time when most member companies were focused on their survival.

The “F&L Asia Product Development of the Year” award recognises innovation in the fuels and lubricants industry, in particular, products that have made significant improvements to processes, efficiency and ecological use. We are pleased to announce that the 2022 recipient is Evogen 4006 from the Lubrizol Corporation.

The global passenger vehicle market has seen a rapid increase in the number of electric and hybrid electric vehicles, however, existing lubricants are not optimised to provide the efficiency and requisite protection of e-devices. Lubrizol launched the Evogen 4001 additive technology in 2019 to address the tougher e-environment. At the time of commercialisation, the product was the first dedicated e-axle fluid available around the world. Original equipment manufacturers have their own unique electric motor design, thus requiring a specific lubricant for their electric motors to fit their needs for better performance. Thus, in 2020, Lubrizol developed Evogen 4006 for a Chinese OEM using a wet electric motor.

Evogen 4006 improves copper corrosion protection and enhances electric properties while maintaining excellent gear/bearing protection compared to conventional manual transmission fluids (MTF). Lubrizol has carefully balanced the anti-wear and extreme pressure chemistry to achieve an ideal equilibrium of load carrying, copper corrosion protection and electrical conductivity. These have been rigorously evaluated in conventional lubricant tests as well as new tests better suited to the new environment, such as the copper wire corrosion test. The additive package also offers improved oxidative stability and potential for efficiency gains by enabling durability at low viscosity. Lubrizol also anticipates a 39.2% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared with conventional MTFs.

F+L Week 2022 will be held from April 27-29 at the Siam Anantara Bangkok in Thailand. Virtual registration (live streaming and on-demand) is also available through our powerful networking platform, which will be launched on April 15.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Biodiesel Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The market for biodiesel is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 7.98% during the forecast period of 2022-2027.

Companies Mentioned

  • Renewable Energy Group, Inc
  • Archer Daniels Midland Company
  • Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited
  • Wilmar International Ltd
  • Neste Oyj
  • Cargill Inc
  • BIOX Corporation
  • Ag Processing, Inc.

Key Market Trends

Transportation Segment Expected to Dominate the Market

  • Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement used in existing diesel engines without modification. It is made from an increasingly diverse mix of recycled cooking oil, agricultural feedstock, and animal fats.
  • The United States is a significant consumer of biodiesel. Some local, state, and federal government agencies with fleets of school and transit buses, snowplows, garbage trucks, mail trucks, and military vehicles use biodiesel blends, usually B20. Fuelling stations that sell biodiesel blends of B20 or higher to the public are available in almost every state.
  • In Q1 2021, Germany had exported around 933,117 tonnes of biodiesel. The primary consumers of German biodiesel were European Union countries (88%), headed by the Netherlands, Poland, and Belgium.
  • Moreover, in May 2021, the German government had introduced new biofuel law. As per the new law, obligated oil companies will have to significantly increase the use of biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethane in the transportation sector to reduce carbon emissions.
  • As of 2020, global biodiesel consumption has reached almost 682 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, which is comparatively higher than 464 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day as of 2015.
  • Due to the fluctuating prices of petroleum-based products, biodiesel is becoming an increasingly affordable option. The share of biodiesel in transportation fuel is expected to increase considerably.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth

  • Asia-Pacific is the second-largest consumer of biodiesel across the globe. In 2020, the region consumed 170 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. Countries like China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam are promoting the use of bio-diesel to reduce GHG emissions.
  • Indonesia became the first nation to mandate a B30 blend of palm-based fuel. The government allocated 9.59 million kiloliters of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) for the B30 mandate in 2020, up from 6.63 million KL in 2019.
  • In the year 2020, the Indonesian government allocated USD 195 million from the state budget to subsidize producers of palm oil biodiesel to boost the economy out of a pandemic-induced slump.
  • On the other hand, in Malaysia, the mandate to manufacture biofuel with a 20% palm oil component - known as B20 witnessed a delay. The mandate is expected to be implemented across the country by the end of 2022.
  • With three new biodiesel plants installed in India in 2019, the total number of plants increased to 26 as of 2021. The additional plants have increased the capacity significantly, and with upcoming projects in line, the production is likely to increase further in India.
  • Moreover, in December 2021, LRE Petroleum received the letter of intent (LOI) from Indian Oil to set up a biodiesel manufacturing plant in India. The plant is located in Karnataka and is capable of producing 4 million liters of biodiesel (B-100) every year.
  • Hence with the increasing blend percentage in countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and India, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the forecast period.

Five building and e-mobility companies will receive non-dilutive funding to demonstrate their technologies with commercial partners

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN2), a technology incubator and platform funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and co-administered by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), announced the program’s first cohort focused on demonstration projects. The tenth IN2 cohort consists of five companies ready to demonstrate building and mobility technologies with industry partners across the country, proving out their economic viability, low carbon capabilities, and positive social impacts.



“Once startups have spent the time to get over the first valley of death developing, testing and validating their technology, they are quickly faced with the next valley – getting that first customer to raise their hand and take a chance on something new,” said Trish Cozart, IN2 program manager at NREL. “The demonstration cohort brings together impactful clean technologies, real world partners, and third-party NREL experts to walk alongside both parties to help catalyze the success of the project as they prove out the tech for scale.”

The selected companies will receive up to $250,000 in non-dilutive funding to support infrastructure for the project as well as technical guidance from the world-class researchers at NREL, who will help prepare, validate, or analyze the demonstration projects. They will also benefit from a robust IN2 cleantech ecosystem that includes industry experts, investors, and a nationwide Channel Partner network of more than 60 cleantech incubators, accelerators, and university programs.

“Accelerating clean-technology innovation and commercialization is essential to align the economy with the goals of the Paris Agreement,” said Robyn Luhning, Chief Sustainability Officer at Wells Fargo. “By pairing promising clean technologies with companies and community organizations, startups can demonstrate their value to a potential customer and the industry. Validating these potentially game-changing, low-carbon solutions can accelerate their entry to the marketplace and speed the decarbonization of the global economy.”

Originally nominated by program Channel Partners, the selected companies underwent an in-depth selection process by Wells Fargo, NREL and IN2’s expert industry advisory board. The selected companies and their respective commercial partners will collaborate on the following demonstration projects:

  • BlocPower, based in Brooklyn, NY, will work with Steffes to replace fossil fuel-based systems with carbon-free technologies and increase energy efficiency for buildings in diverse communities.
  • CorePower Magnetics, based in Pittsburgh, PA, will demonstrate its patented high-performance electric motors, inductors, and transformers with Eaton, which can extend electric vehicle ranges and improve grid efficiency.
  • Kit Switch, based in San Francisco, CA, will work with Habitat for Humanity, LA to install and analyze its prefabricated wall and ceiling panels with integrated plumbing and electrical systems in underutilized housing units.
  • NineDot Energy, based in Brooklyn, NY, will work with Fermata Energy and Revel Transit, Inc. to transform vacant and underutilized lots into shared community-scale power plants using solid oxide fuel cells and stationary battery energy storage.
  • Community Energy Labs, based in Portland, OR, will demonstrate its AI Powered Clean Building Control platform for Tacoma Public Utilities and Tenino School District in an effort to support and assess decarbonization goals.

With the addition of these five companies, IN2’s total portfolio now includes 61 startups. Since joining the IN2 program, portfolio companies have raised $1.1 billion in external follow-on funding—equivalent to an average of more than $81 for every $1 awarded by Wells Fargo through IN2.

Capture hard to reach data and make it easy to aggregate, automate and analyze


AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today HUVRdata, Inc. (HUVR) welcomes Luftronix, a New Jersey based industrial inspection company with an autonomous high-precision scanning solution using drones, to the HUVR Partner Network (HPN).

“We make it easy to manage complex inspection data—just like Luftronix makes it easy to conduct inspections in complex environments,” said Ben Schmul, VP product management at HUVR. “Both of our companies are in the business of transforming how industrial asset owners ensure reliability, compliance and operational excellence, so a partnership made perfect sense.”

The partnership between HUVR and Luftronix makes drone inspections even safer, faster and easier than they already were. With Luftronix’s precision navigation technology, drones can be flown in extremely tight, confined spaces at the push of a button, and high fidelity, repeatable data can be collected. Then, by seamlessly integrating the Luftronix-collected data into the HUVR IDMS platform, reports, findings and repair projects are automatically created. This seamless flow from data capture to remediation will increase the reliability and efficiency of any asset being inspected.

Drones are rapidly becoming the preferred inspection tool compared to scaffolding, rope access, and confined space entry. In fact, drones are estimated to have saved $1.1 billion in inspection costs to offshore rigs and oil refineries. As more and more companies leverage drone technology, savings—both tangible and intangible—will continue to increase. In fact, a new Barclays report estimates that over the next 5 years drones will save the oil and gas industry $50 billion. This massive growth also brings increasing complexity with both flight and data management as new assets are inspected in new ways. Fortunately, both HUVR and Luftronix have seen their customers thrive by adopting specialized drones and software to meet the ever-increasing complexities.

For the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that any piece of technology will complete 100% of an asset inspection. But new robotic inspection tools will collect data at higher fidelity than previous generations and will offer better comparative results over time given the standardization they bring. However, the data collection tools only solve a part of the challenge—it’s what to do with all the new types of data, often existing in new formats and located in new silos. To aggregate, automate and analyze the data from inspection tools—as well as from existing checklist information—companies require an inspection data management software (IDMS) platform which must either be created out of whole cloth or integrated into current systems, using valuable time and IT resources.

As a result, the availability of a holistic, easy-to-use, purpose-built platform that rolls out seamlessly, efficiently and quickly is game-changing for asset owners. They require an IDMS platform that both supports new tools and enables the integration of a variety of apps to carry out the AI-supported evaluation of the collected data.

“We are offering a solution that will inspect 100% of an asset with the push of a button, delivering localized and repeatable visual data,” said Klaus Sonnenleiter, CEO of Luftronix. “But we needed a software platform to house and analyze the data so that our customers can easily and consistently act on the findings. The HUVR IDMS platform is exactly what we were looking for.”

Since 2016, HUVRdata has transformed the way industrial equipment owners and inspection companies manage and perform inspections, enabling immediate ROI and improved production KPIs. By partnering with HUVRdata—whose platform can merge data from any source—Luftronix can inject data and insights into a customer’s HUVR system, allowing clients to more efficiently plan, manage, collect data and generate findings from drone inspections.
