LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AltaSea and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering’s Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) have announced an agreement to demonstrate carbon removal technologies on the 35-acre AltaSea campus at the Port of Los Angeles later this year. ICM will showcase its pioneering SeaChange technology that leverages the oceans to effect carbon removal. This innovative technology will help address one of the most daunting climate change challenges the world faces — carbon dioxide emissions.


ICM’s carbon dioxide removal process uses renewable electricity to entrap carbon dioxide found in seawater in the form of inert, solid carbonates and dissolved bicarbonate ions. This process allows durable, permanent and energy-efficient carbon removal. In order to combat the effects of climate change, it is estimated that 10-20 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide will need to be removed each year beginning 2050, ICM is poised to rapidly upscale and commercialize its innovative technology to expand the world’s carbon dioxide removal capabilities.

“AltaSea’s mission is to convene the best and brightest that are fighting climate change through innovative technology, and ICM’s carbon removal technology is a gamechanger in our global fight against climate change,” said AltaSea President & CEO Terry Tamminen. “We are excited to have them on board and be able to help foster the development and growth of breakthrough technologies that can have positive, impactful change on our planet.”

AltaSea is the West Coast’s largest blue economy research and development center, creating new well-paying jobs, tackling climate change, and working to solve some of the most pressing issues in the marine environment. In addition to UCLA, AltaSea’s current and planned tenants include the University of Southern California, the Southern California Marine Institute (made up of 23 universities, colleges, and institutes), Braid Theory, Holdfast Aquaculture, Montauk Technologies, and Pacific Mariculture.

AltaSea is also home port to famed oceanographer and explorer Dr. Robert Ballard’s Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) and the research vessel Nautilus. Dr. Ballard is best known for his historic discoveries of hydrothermal vents, the sunken R.M.S Titanic, the German battleship Bismarck, and many other shipwrecks around the world. OET plans to build a 10,000 square foot interactive research and educational center at AltaSea.

“AltaSea’s campus is California’s hub for the blue economy, and there is no better place in North America for UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management to demonstrate its pioneering SeaChange technology,” said ICM Director and civil and environmental engineering, and materials science and engineering professor, Gaurav N. Sant.

Dante Simonetti, ICM’s Associate Director for Technology Translation, will also join in the effort. “The next decade is crucial to scale up, scale out and commercialize carbon management technologies,” said Simonetti, who is an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at UCLA Samueli. “Access to, and partnership with, world-class demonstration sites like AltaSea is a prerequisite for our success.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Methanol Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Derivative End-User Industry" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The methanol market is projected to reach US$ 41,974.76 million by 2028 from US$ 28,114.27 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is the simplest from the long series of alcohols, prepared by directly combining carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. Methanol is used in fabricating different products such as adhesives, paints and coatings, carpet underlay, wood panels, methanol, fuel system, components, brake pads, paper towels, cosmetics, carpeting, furniture, and cabinets.

Based on derivative, the global methanol market is segmented into formaldehyde, acetic acid, methanol-to-olefins (MTO) / methanol-to-propylene (MTP), methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), methyl methacrylate (MMA), biodiesel (gasoline blending), dimethyl ether (DME), and others. The formaldehyde segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Formaldehyde is a colorless poisonous gas synthesized through methanol oxidation. It is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and general-purpose chemical reagent in laboratory applications. Formaldehyde is also widely used in the pharmaceuticals industry in the production of vaccines, anti-infective drugs, and hard-gel capsules. Moreover, formaldehyde finds applications as a preservative in food, medicines, and cosmetics.

Based on geography, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South and Central America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2020, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the market. Asia-Pacific is one of the major consumers of methanol due to the rise in petrochemicals production in the region. China is the global leader in methanol consumption owing to a sharp rise in the use of methanol in fuel products. The compound is used in the large-scale production of petrochemicals, and the rise in petrochemicals demand is propelling the methanol market growth in this region. Moreover, the use of petrochemicals in end-user industries, such as construction and automotive, is the primary factor driving the methanol market.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively influenced the growth of the methanol market owing to disruptions in construction activities and halt in expansion or new construction of plants and factories. Also, industries such as construction, paints and coating, electronics, and packaging have been affected by sudden disruptions in operational efficiencies and value chains due to the sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries for travel and trade. However, the growing demand for methanol products in the pharmaceuticals industry is anticipated to drive market growth in the coming years.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Gas Separation Membranes Market by Material Type (Polyimide & Polyaramide, PS, CA), Application (N2 Generation & O2 Enrichment, HR, CO2 removal, Vapor/Gas Separation, Vapor/Vapor Separation, AD), Module (SW, HF) and Region - Global Forecast to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global gas separation membranes market size is projected to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2026 from USD 0.9 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.

Polyimide & polyaramide accounted for the largest share amongst other material types in the gas separation membranes market

The polyimide & polyaramide segment is the largest and is also projected to continue this trend till 2026. The key growth driver of the high consumption of this material type is owing to properties such as good permeation rates, good selectivity, high chemical and thermal stability, mechanical strength, and good film-forming properties. Polyimide & polyaramide gas separation membranes are used for separating one or more gases from a gaseous mixture as they exhibit good permeation rates with good selectivity. Polyimide membranes have increased demand for gas separation owing to their superior permeability and stability. Polyimide & polyaramide membranes have increasing demand in carbon dioxide removal application.

Carbon dioxide removal segment accounted for the largest market share amongst other applications in the gas separation membranes market

The carbon dioxide removal segment is the largest consumer of gas separation membranes. Carbon dioxide is commonly found in natural gas, and its separation is necessary to meet pipeline requirements or other specifications. Also, in carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes, carbon dioxide has to be separated from the exhaust gas streams before the subsequent transportation and storage. Membrane gas separation technology is one of the efficient solutions for carbon dioxide removal as it is more compact, energy-efficient, and possibly more economical than conventional technologies, such as solvent absorption. The presence of reservoirs and increasing demand for shale gas drive the demand for carbon dioxide removal, which is further increasing the demand for gas separation membranes in the carbon dioxide removal application.

APAC is projected to grow the fastest in the gas separation membranes market during the forecast period

APAC is the fastest-growing market for gas separation membranes. This growth is primarily credited to the expanding demand for natural gas, biogas, and other environmentally sustainable energy solutions in developing economies, such as India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others in the region. Moreover, growth in population and increasing urbanization rate are also driving the industrial growth and energy demand. In addition, growth in industrialization, increasing demand due to changing demographics, and government initiatives to attract business investments in industries such as power, oil & gas, packaging, metal processing & fabrication, and electronics are also driving the market for gas separation membranes in the region.

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Through an exclusive licensing agreement, ESG Clean Energy, LLC, developers of net zero carbon footprints and clean energy solutions for distributed power generation, announced today it acquired a new patent (no. 11,286,832) issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a Bottoming Cycle Power System and its related impact to carbon capture technology.


This is the latest patent acquired for ESG’s growing portfolio of advanced power generation technologies that make natural-gas fueled power generation maintain high efficiency without losing energy in the carbon capture process. This makes the process of capturing carbon dioxide more economically feasible and more environmentally friendly.

This new patent covers the invention of an “exhaust-gas-to-exhaust-gas heat exchanger” that efficiently cools – and then reheats – exhaust from a primary power generator so greater energy output can be achieved by a secondary power source with safe ventilation. Another key aspect of the new patent is the development of a carbon dioxide capture system that utilizes the waste heat of the carbon dioxide pump to heat and regenerate the adsorber that enables the CO2 to be safely contained and packaged.

“Acquiring this patent greatly expands our ability to better capture carbon – and use it to make something beneficial – whenever natural gas is used to produce electricity,” said Nick Scuderi, president of ESG Clean Energy. “It’s very important progress for a world that’s forced to still depend on fossil fuels while trying to meet new emissions standards. Until the renewable power industry can meet the rising global power demands, this technology addresses that challenge tremendously.”

ESG is finalizing a 4.2-megawatt power generation plant in Holyoke that will utilize this and other patents.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mesa Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) (NYSE: MTR) announced today the Trust income distribution for the month of March 2022. Unitholders of record on March 31, 2022 will receive distributions amounting to $0.102836005 per unit, payable on April 29, 2022. The Trust received $227,560, the majority of which came from the New Mexico portion of the Trust’s San Juan Basin properties operated by Hilcorp San Juan LP, an affiliate of Hilcorp Energy Company, with the remainder received from the Colorado portion of the Trust’s San Juan Basin properties operated by Simcoe LLC, an affiliate of IKAV Energy Inc. No income was received in March 2022 from the Hugoton Royalty properties, operated by Scout Energy Group V, LP. This month, after the Trust’s withholding for the payment of administrative expenses, income from the distributable net profits was $191,644.

The Trust was formed to own an overriding royalty interest of the net proceeds attributable to certain producing oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field of Kansas and the San Juan Basin fields of New Mexico and Colorado. As described in the Trust's public filings, the amount of the monthly distributions is expected to fluctuate from month to month, depending on the proceeds, if any, received by the Trust as a result of production, oil and natural gas prices and the amount of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. In addition, as further described in the Trust’s most recent filing on Form 10-Q, distributions to unitholders are expected to be materially reduced during 2022, as the Trust intends to increase cash reserves from $1.0 million to a total of $2.0 million to provide added liquidity.

Proceeds reported by the working interest owners for any month are not generally representative of net proceeds that will be received by the Trust in future periods. As further described in the Trust’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, production and development costs for the royalty interest have resulted in substantial accumulated excess production costs, which will decrease Trust distributions, and in some periods may result in no Trust distributions. The amount of proceeds, if any, received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions to unitholders) has been and will continue to be directly affected, among other things, by volatility in the industry and revenues and expenses reported to the Trust by working interest owners. Any additional expenses and adjustments, among other things, will reduce proceeds to the Trust, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given that the expectations contained in this press release will prove to be correct. The working interest owners alone control historical operating data, and handle receipt and payment of funds relating to the royalty properties and payments to the Trust for the related royalty. The Trustee cannot assure that errors or adjustments or expenses accrued by the working interest owners, whether historical or future, will not affect future royalty income and distributions by the Trust. Other important factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include delays in actual results of drilling operations, risks inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas properties, declines in commodity pricing, prices received by working interest owners and other risks described in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in such risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no obligations, to update any of the statements included in this press release. Each unitholder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to its particular circumstances.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Span.IO, Inc.—creator of the SPAN smart electrical panel and SPAN Drive smart EV charger—today announced the closing of its $90 million Series B funding round, bringing the Company’s total funding to date to $134 million.


SPAN’s Series B funding round was led by Fifth Wall Climate Tech and Wellington Management. Other mission-aligned investors include Angeleno Group, Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition, Van Jones’ Obsidian Investment Partners, A/O PropTech, and all of the existing board investors. The Company will use the new funding to continue developing the SPAN Home suite of energy products and solutions to drive commercial growth and accelerate electrification of homes.

SPAN, an innovator in the home energy management space, is led by a seasoned team of executives and engineers from Tesla, Sunrun, and Amazon. With its flagship product the SPAN smart electrical panel, the Company recently celebrated wins for “Best Home Technology Product” and “Best Energy Efficient Product” at the NAHB International Builders’ Show® 2022 Best of IBS Awards. Fast Company also named SPAN one of their 2022 “World’s Most Innovative Companies.”

“We started with reinventing the electrical panel, as it is the core component to any scalable path to electrification of homes, but the consumer experience demands more,” says Arch Rao, CEO and founder of SPAN. “We’re excited to deploy this new capital to expand our product offerings that simplify the decarbonization of homes, and to continue developing the unparalleled approach to home energy management that SPAN is uniquely positioned to deliver.”

SPAN’s recent funding round includes a diverse group of global investors and strategic partners, representing market leaders in residential renewables, consumer financing, and homebuilding. “SPAN is uniquely positioned at the beginning of a massive growth category in residential electrification,” says Fifth Wall Partner and co-lead of the Climate Tech Investment team Greg Smithies. “As we identify companies to help the global real estate industry decarbonize, investing in SPAN is a natural fit for Fifth Wall Climate Tech and our partners.”

“Electrification is critical for addressing climate change, but the increased demand on a home’s electrical supply can require expensive upgrades,” says Greg Wasserman, Head of Climate Innovation Investing at Wellington Management. “We’re excited about the potential for SPAN’s products to allow better utilization of existing electrical systems while also adding valuable functionality like circuit-level monitoring and control, and we look forward to partnering with SPAN.”

The Company is developing electrification products and solutions that address the growing needs of homeowners, recently announcing SPAN Drive, the Company’s new Level 2 electric vehicle charger. “EV’s are the first step toward electrification for many homeowners, so an EV charging solution was a logical next step for SPAN,” says Rao. “Our solutions are designed to leverage the intelligence and capability of our SPAN smart panel, which enables a superior consumer experience and reduces the need for complex home upgrades. SPAN Drive will deliver adaptive charging and allow customers to power up their cars directly with clean, solar energy. SPAN Drive, along with the SPAN Panel, create a strong foundation for future solutions, including bidirectional vehicle-to-home charging and helping the electrical grid to transition to cleaner, more stable energy sources,” confirms Rao.

SPAN is also adding to its senior leadership team with the recent additions of Ryan Harris joining as Chief Revenue Officer, and Laks Venkatesan joining as SVP of Finance. Harris, formerly SVP of Sales and Marketing at Sunrun, and Venkatesan, formerly VP of Finance at Mosaic, bring experienced leadership to SPAN ahead of this next phase of commercial growth.

“SPAN’s potential to accelerate home electrification is unique,” says Harris. “Our early channel success with renewables developers, home builders, and utilities indicates the broad appeal of a product like the SPAN panel. With the recent launch of SPAN Drive, we’re excited to offer consumers more ways to understand and optimize their energy usage.”

“Our fundraising success puts SPAN at the forefront of home electrification,” adds Venkatesan. “We are now in a position to significantly accelerate R&D, manufacturing, and deployments as home electrification becomes mainstream.”

Since SPAN began shipping its first panels in the summer of 2020, the Company has seen an exponential increase in installations and adoption rates across the country. With panels now operating in over 36 states and in Puerto Rico, SPAN is set to become a market leader in home electrification.

About Span.IO, Inc.

SPAN reinvented the 100-year-old electrical panel to give homeowners circuit-level control for the first time over their residential energy usage.

The SPAN smart electric panel provides advanced levels of monitoring and intelligence that make electrifying and decarbonizing easier than ever. Purpose-built for functionality and durability, the SPAN Panel, Meter Panel, and SPAN Drive electric vehicle charger all allow for elegant, efficient and integrated solutions for any home.

Backed by leading investors in the clean energy space, SPAN aims to decarbonize every home by removing barriers to electrification while at the same time providing a holistic approach to managing increasing demands on household energy.
