Business Wire News

VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AmeriGas--UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) announced today that its subsidiary, AmeriGas Propane (“AmeriGas”), the nation’s largest retail propane marketer, has entered into an agreement with Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: GCEH) to purchase and distribute renewable LPG. AmeriGas will leverage its supply and logistics infrastructure and sales and marketing teams to market and distribute renewable LPG to new and existing customers primarily in the state of California.

As part of a multi-year agreement, GCEH’s Bakersfield biorefinery will process up to 15,000 barrels of renewable feedstock per day, including their proprietary energy crop - camelina, to produce renewable fuels including bioLPG. This biorefinery, which is expected to begin operations in the first half of calendar 2022, is projected to produce approximately 13 million gallons of renewable LPG in its first year, making it the largest commercially available renewable propane production facility to date in the United States1. Under the distribution partnership, AmeriGas will be the long-term exclusive buyer of renewable LPG from GCEH’s Bakersfield biorefinery.

“We are thrilled to partner with GCEH to bring renewable LPG to customers in a rapidly developing market where there is strong demand for biofuels and a focus on environmentally sustainable energy solutions,” said Roger Perreault, President and CEO - UGI Corporation. “This long-term agreement demonstrates continued progress on our environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives and strategy to invest in renewables. It is another great example of our ongoing efforts to provide innovative, low-carbon, sustainable energy solutions to customers.”

Renewable LPG, also known as renewable-propane or bioLPG, is chemically identical to today’s fossil LPG (C3H8) and therefore can be used with existing infrastructure. It has up to 80% lower carbon footprint than that of conventional LPG and a much lower carbon intensity than conventional diesel or gasoline fuels.

“Our investment in the Bakersfield biorefinery coupled with AmeriGas’ industry-leading footprint across the propane supply chain is a powerful combination aimed at advancing the growth of the renewable fuels market in California and elsewhere,” commented Richard Palmer, President & CEO of Global Clean Energy Holdings. Russell Blades, Vice President, Technology & Sustainability at Global Clean Energy Holdings, added, “Agreements like this and strategic partners like AmeriGas support our integrated Farm-to-Fuels-to-Market value chain strategy, which truly differentiates us from other renewable fuel producers and sets an exciting stage for future growth.”

“This strategic partnership leverages the strengths of each organization and sets the foundation for both companies to work together across traditional agricultural, energy and supply chain lines to bring lower-carbon fuels to customers,” said Steve Kossuth, VP of Global LPG Supply - UGI Corporation. “We look forward to working closely with the team at GCEH to advance renewable LPG to market in California.”

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ambu Inc., the world leader in single-use endoscopy, marked the 65th birthday of its iconic invention, the Ambu® BagTM, today by donating 650 of the lifesaving devices to international charity Mercy Ships, which is known around the globe for bringing state-of-the-art healthcare to the developing world on its hospital ships.



The Ambu Bags were presented to Jackie Abbott, Corporate Development Officer of Mercy Ships, in a virtual ceremony that included members of Ambu’s team that operates from its U.S. headquarters in Columbia, Maryland.

“It is our honor to deliver Ambu Bags to Mercy Ships, which has a rich history of transforming the lives of people around the world who do not have access to healthcare,” said Allan Jensen, Vice President of Sales, Anesthesia at Ambu. “Like Mercy Ships the Ambu Bag has been saving lives for decades, often providing critically injured patients a second chance at life.”

The Ambu Bag was invented in Denmark by Dr. Holger Hesse, Ambu’s founder, and anesthesiologist Dr. Henning Ruben. Since its debut in 1956, the Ambu Bag has come to define the self-inflating manual resuscitation instrument that is used around the world by hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, urgent care centers, and first responders. The iconic device is credited with helping more than 45 million people breathe in the past 10 years alone. In late 2021, Ambu marked the Ambu Bag’s milestone 65th anniversary and will continue the celebration into 2022.

Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class healthcare services, capacity building and sustainable development to those without access in the developing world. The Ambu Bags will be delivered to the Africa Mercy® and the newly built Global Mercy®, the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship.

“We thank Ambu for the generous donation of the Ambu bags. For the past 65 years, Ambu has made a commitment to deliver innovative quality products that have a positive impact on patient care and the work of healthcare professionals. Mercy Ships looks forward to an ongoing relationship with Ambu and using the Ambu bags when our ships are in field service in Africa,” said Christie VanWinkle, Medical Procurement Manager at Mercy Ships.

The Africa Mercy was launched in 2007 and has five operating theatres, recovery, intensive care, and low dependency wards totaling 80 patient beds. The Global Mercy, the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship, has six operating rooms, 200 beds, and training spaces including a simulation lab which will simulate local conditions and limitations in order to teach best practices in low resource environments.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) (“Advent“ or the “Company”), an innovation-driven leader in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology space, is pleased to announce the signing of new contracts with manufacturers of clean power generation and energy storage solutions for the delivery of electrochemistry components.


The contracts were signed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and have a combined value of $2.2 million. Advent began delivering electrochemistry components in the fourth quarter of 2021 and deliveries are expected to continue through September 2022. The vast majority of the new business is from North American based customers.

Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,We are excited to continue on a high-growth path and expand customer relationships across the USA, Europe, and Asia. Advent is recognized as a company with game-changing technology and our philosophy is to deliver high-quality products to companies as dedicated to a clean energy future as we are. We look forward to helping our customers reach their goals, and we hope that their trust leads to Advent expanding its repeat business with satisfied clients.”

Advent’s electrochemistry components business includes electrodes, membranes, and membrane electrode assemblies (“MEAs”).

  1. Delivering components to a leading US-based green energy equipment manufacturer.
  2. Collaborating with Northeastern University for the development of MEAs for low-cost electrolyzers (green hydrogen production).
  3. Entering into the L’Innovator program from the US Department of Energy (US DoE) for the development of next-generation HT-PEM MEAs for the fuel cell market.

Advent’s electrochemistry materials R&D is based in Boston, Massachusetts, with synthesis and manufacturing capabilities in Europe. Advent is expanding its production capabilities through the development of a new facility at the Hood Park campus in Charlestown, Massachusetts, which will focus primarily on the development and production of the next-generation of fuel cell components.

Advent’s Chief Technology Officer Dr. Emory DeCastro added: “2021 was a year of successful growth, and demonstrated great success in Advent’s first year as a public company. The Company had 100% acceptance of our products by our customers in the electrochemistry component business, with zero returns for quality issues. Our new Hood Park facility will allow us to scale-up and deliver on the increasing global demand for electrochemical components in the clean energy space.”

The HUVR Tank Solution delivers a paradigm shift in Aboveground Storage Tank safety, regulatory and reliability inspections

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the face of SB900, and recognizing the escalating requirements for storage tank safety, reliability, compliance and operational excellence, HUVR and Earl Crochet have joined forces to deliver an industry focused, fit-for-purpose solution to meet growing Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) asset integrity inspection challenges. Both parties recognize that the AST industry, as with many other industrial segments, is changing rapidly. “Never before in my decades-long professional engineering career have I witnessed the perfect storm we see today,” said Earl Crochet, president, Crochet Midstream Consulting. “Industry veterans are exiting and taking their hard-earned tank inspection knowledge with them; at the same time new inspection technologies and regulations are entering the scene.”


Available now, the HUVR Tank Solution (HTS) is a suite of targeted workflows designed to provide clarity of asset health with actionable insight to ensure industrial asset owners not only remain compliant, but also perform to expectation, eliminating downtime and maximizing revenue. Seamlessly integrated into the HUVR Inspection Data Management Platform (IDMP), tank owners and inspection service providers finally have the ability to easily aggregate, analyze and automate all of their tank inspection data—alongside all of their other inspection data.

“Maintaining reliability, compliance and operational excellence with tanks isn’t easy, and it’s only getting more difficult as talented experts retire, new tools and datasets are introduced and sweeping new regulations are passed,” said Ben Schmuhl, VP of product management, HUVR. “We wanted to add even more breadth and depth to the AST workflows already in the HUVR platform, so partnering with Earl made perfect sense.”

Earl Crochet, often called “The Tank Whisperer,” brings over 33 years of experience in pipelines and terminals, and was the director of engineering for asset regulatory support for Kinder Morgan Terminals. He has served on several API committees and subcommittees since 1994, and also served on the Board of Directors for the ILTA until 2015.

“I'm excited to be working with HUVR on the first scalable solution for all of the industries reliant on storage tanks,” said Crochet. “HUVR is truly disrupting the old-school paradigm of manual inspections, paper checklists, siloed data and the resulting, sub-optimal AST health. Joining forces, we'll be assisting tank owners around the world, but also the hundreds of chemical and petroleum companies in Texas as they prepare for the added complexities introduced by SB900.”

Inspired by incidents with tanks during Hurricane Harvey, as well as the Deer Park chemical tank fire outside of Houston in 2019, Governor Greg Abbott signed SB900 in June, 2021, and it went into effect in September. Going forward, more than 35,000 ASTs in Texas will need to comply with myriad new regulations related to inspection and repair (API 653), overfill prevention (API 2350) and reduction of the hazards associated with the storage, handling and use of flammable and combustible liquids (NFPA 30). This law is similar to those in 30 other states, including Florida, which has even more stringent requirements.

Partnership enables customers to securely and privately leverage ocean data for better, faster decisions

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#DataInUse--Enveil, the pioneering Privacy Enhancing Technology company protecting Data in Use, and Terradepth, an advanced ocean data-as-a-service company revolutionizing ocean data use, today announced a partnership and product integration to expand secure and private data usage and access at the Edge. This unmatched capability transforms the way ocean data can be leveraged for sensitive business and mission applications including secure maritime domain awareness and mission planning.


Oceanographic data itself is a national and commercial asset and numerous industries, including oil & gas, national security, and telecommunications rely on its content and accuracy. Bringing together Enveil’s ZeroReveal® capabilities and Terradepth’s oceanographic data holdings, the partnership allows organizations to access and utilize previously restricted datasets without revealing their interest or intent.

“Our aim is to positively change the way humans experience the ocean and this partnership accelerates that effort by allowing ocean data to be leveraged in new and innovative ways,” said Joe Wolfel, Co-CEO of Terradepth. “We’re very excited to be working with Enveil to expand secure and private ocean data usage and enable exploration of the maritime environment.”

Terradepth’s cloud-based, market-leading ocean data platform, Absolute Ocean (AO), provides immersive and interactive visualization capabilities of both Terradepth-collected and third-party ocean data. Utilizing the integration with Enveil ZeroReveal®, customers can leverage all these data holdings along with the full functionality of AO without revealing their interest and intent to Terradepth, Enveil, or any other entity.

“By changing the paradigm of how and where organizations can use data, we allow customers to extract value without the need to move or replicate data, accelerating time to value,” said Ellison Anne Williams, Founder and CEO of Enveil. “We’re proud to be working with Terradepth to extend these capabilities to the oceanographic edge to help our customers make better, faster mission-critical decisions.”

Leveraging breakthroughs in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), Enveil’s capabilities extend the boundary of trusted compute by securely processing data at the point of collection and in third-party data environments. A customer’s sensitive search parameters, such as specific geographic areas of interest, specific objects, and data types, are protected through the encrypted search functionality powered by Enveil ZeroReveal®. Organizations can maintain operational integrity during sensitive business and mission applications by ensuring the content of the search, watchlist, or analytics remain encrypted throughout the processing lifecycle.
