The leader in transportation management innovation introduces a way for companies to track network emissions and execute targeted low carbon solutions to reduce their transportation carbon footprint

GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Breakthrough, a leading transportation technology solutions provider, today launched CleanMile, the first end-to-end scope 3 transportation emissions management solution for shippers across all industries.



Accessible through FELIX, Breakthrough’s premier transportation intelligence platform, CleanMile is the first solution to track, analyze, and report carbon emissions, create an emissions reduction roadmap, and execute actionable scope 1 and 3 transportation emissions reduction initiatives.

Many companies have set corporate sustainability goals to decrease emissions, but, until now, it has been difficult to reduce transportation-related emissions – a significant portion of overall emissions. Constituting roughly 90% of a company’s total emissions, scope 3 emissions are both the largest category of emissions and the most difficult to measure and improve. They are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the organization, including transportation, which is typically a top contributor to a company’s total emissions.

“Organizations wanting to reduce scope 3 emissions historically had no way to inform, track or manage these initiatives,” said Heather Mueller, Chief Marketing and Product Officer of Breakthrough. “CleanMile enables shippers to gain control of transportation emissions by analyzing shipment-level data to inform reduction initiatives and working with our team to build and execute a reduction roadmap.”

CleanMile provides actionable and data-driven recommendations for emissions reduction based on a shipper’s transportation network and specific sustainability goals. The service provides a detailed picture of a transportation network’s lifecycle emissions, serving as a guide for future expansion. Informed by more than $22B in annual freight spend in the FELIX platform, CleanMile is the most comprehensive transportation emissions management solution on the market today, helping shippers drive real progress toward corporate sustainability goals.

An extension of Breakthrough’s core offerings, CleanMile brings transportation fuel management and network strategy together. This builds on Breakthrough’s unparalleled legacy of helping shippers increase transportation network efficiency and reduce spend via its suite of solutions, including Fuel Recovery, Network Intelligence, and Capac-ID.

“For nearly two decades, we’ve partnered with our clients to build and execute effective strategies in transportation energy and network management,” said Mueller. “As we look toward the future, we are proud to provide the solutions our clients need to truly take control of their transportation emissions and make their corporate sustainability goals a reality.”

On an annual basis, Breakthrough supports and processes more than 21 million shipments and more than 12 billion transportation miles across several industries including retail, automotive, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, durable goods and pharmaceuticals. In 2021, Breakthrough Fuel Recovery clients reduced truckload and intermodal fuel spend by 20% and 58%, respectively.

Secretaries Granholm & Walsh Joined by Members of Congress Meet LACI Start-up Founders & Green Workforce Graduates, Learn more about LACI’s Transportation Electrification Partnership

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh put a spotlight on Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator’s leadership in creating an inclusive green economy through startup innovation, workforce training, and transportation electrification.



Led by LACI President and CEO Matt Petersen and joined by Congresswomen Linda Sanchez, Judy Chu and Norma Torres, as well as LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis, the two Cabinet secretaries talked with LACI startup founders and green jobs training graduates, while also learning about LACI’s groundbreaking Transportation Electrification Partnership. In 2021, LACI won two related US Department of Energy grants, including $1 million from DOE OTT EPIC for startup innovation through startup pilots, as well as $3.6 million from DOE VTO to increase the use of EVs for commercial delivery building on LACI’s Zero Emissions Delivery Zone pilot in partnership with the City of Santa Monica. LACI has also presented recommendations from the 2021 Green Jobs report (i.e., renewing green job tracking and definitions at the federal level) to Secretary Walsh’s senior staff.

The Secretaries discussed with LACI staff and entrepreneurs how the Biden Administration is fostering innovation through its Bipartisan Infrastructure law and a series of executive orders to grow the economy and restore America’s economic leadership in addressing the climate crisis.

LACI is proud to host Secretaries Granholm and Walsh to showcase our entrepreneurs and programs, as well as highlight the work we have done with the Departments of Energy and Labor,” Matt Petersen said. “LACI is truly a national model for creating public private partnerships that move us towards a more inclusive green economy by accelerating equitable climate action. It says a lot about the importance of our work in Los Angeles that two Cabinet Secretaries wanted to see firsthand the ways in which we are unlocking innovation that will transform and grow our economy into a model of clean energy and equity for all.”

"What is really unique about LACI is that they are on both sides of the equation: Incubating these businesses and training the workforce for these businesses, with a lens of equity,” said Energy Secretary Granholm. “We want people to see the great opportunity in clean energy as a future. Those who are working in oil and gas, they have powered our nation for 100 years and we are grateful. But we want them to see themselves as powering our nation for the next 100 years as well, in clean energy. We know that the clean energy economy provides all kinds of jobs for people in all pockets of America.”

Today we saw what is really required for a true clean energy transition. It requires innovations, investment, community engagement and especially workforce training. We saw today at LACI that it is possible to address the climate crisis in a way that expands opportunities,” said Labor Secretary Walsh. “The jobs the LACI’s startup companies are creating by developing and deploying technologies to make our communities healthier and stronger are great models that need to be deployed across the country. The possibility of creating good jobs for workers in communities that have been shut out in the past is the future that the Biden Administration is investing in and that LACI is demonstrating is absolutely achievable.”

Without the work of LACI, without pilot funding, without being able to present our concepts to funders, ChargerHelp! would not be in 11 states expanding to 50 states. Charger help would not have 35 employees. ChargerHelp! would not be a black owned company that has raised 4.25 million in venture capital,” said the startup company’s CEO, Kamaele C. Terry. “Let’s offer hope: the opportunity to create a new workforce, a workforce that’s okay with getting dirty, and a workforce that’s okay with plugging in a laptop computer.”

On behalf of LACI’s partners in the public and private sectors, I want to thank Secretary Granholm, Secretary Walsh, and the Biden Administration for their commitment to act on climate, the support of cleantech entrepreneurs and growing the green workforce, and embracing the critical role of zero emission transportation,” Petersen concluded. “We look forward to doing more to help advance climate equity and the Administration’s Justice40 commitment, such as through the EVs for All bill that LACI is sponsoring in Congress.”

The tour took the officials through La Kretz Innovation Campus—owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power—in the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles, which is LACI’s home. The tour included a stop at LACI’s Advanced Prototyping Center where graduates of LACI’s innovative job training program shared their professional accomplishments and successes in green economy careers. On the tour, the Secretaries and members of Congress met the founders of Automotus, ChargerHelp!, ElectricFish, Electrum (formerly PickmySolar), Hive and URB-E.

Company collaborates with Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association to provide educational resources and raise awareness of pollinators’ role in urban ecosystem

HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Hartford is partnering with Earthwatch, an international environmental organization, on a citizen-science project to document pollinators with the goal of understanding if key species are declining and how climate change may be affecting pollinator populations. One area of focus for the Global Pollinator Watch program is understanding the ecological health of the City of Hartford’s Asylum Hill neighborhood.


The Hartford is collaborating with the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association (AHNA), which has planted pollinator gardens in the community. Asylum Hill residents will serve alongside The Hartford’s employees as they volunteer to document pollinators by uploading the images to the iNaturalist app as data points to be analyzed by Earthwatch researchers.

“The Hartford recognizes the importance of pollinators in preserving a healthy ecosystem, sustaining plant life and contributing to food production, and we are proud to do our part to increase awareness and share information resources,” said The Hartford’s Head of Sustainability, Karen Jarmoc. “The Hartford continues to be a leader in addressing the drivers of climate change, including those that affect the pollinator population and their host plants.”

Pollination is vital to the global biodiversity of plant life, ecosystem sustainability and food production. The majority of the world’s flowering plants depend on pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, moths, bats and birds. However, populations of pollinators are shrinking because of pesticides, loss of habitat, climate variability, diseases, parasites, pollution and other factors1.

“The Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association has a very active group of environmentalists who have planted several Pollinator Gardens in Asylum Hill,” said AHNA Executive Director David MacDonald. “AHNA is very grateful for the support of The Hartford with the Earthwatch program. It will help us engage more of The Hartford’s employees in projects to strengthen Asylum Hill's environmental sustainability and document the impact of our pollinator gardens.”

The pollinator program builds on a long-standing partnership between The Hartford and residents of Asylum Hill and the City of Hartford. In 2020, The Hartford commemorated its 100th year of being headquartered in Asylum Hill with a $10 million, 5-year commitment to address top priorities of residents and non-profits based on findings from The Hartford’s Asylum Hill Neighborhood Survey. Respondents said the three most critical needs were housing stability, job readiness and greater public safety. Last year, The Hartford announced a $1 million grant to a housing initiative led by Northside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (NINA), to make homeownership more accessible in Hartford’s Asylum Hill Neighborhood.

“Earthwatch is so pleased to be partnering with The Hartford on our Global Pollinator Watch program,” said Earthwatch’s Director of Research, Dr. Stan Rullman. “The Hartford’s employees will play a critical role in collecting pollinator data to help us better understand the health of pollinator communities, while identifying areas where pollinators could benefit from supportive interventions.”

Agreements are part of company’s sustainability and energy conservation initiative


MATTOON, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL), a top 10 fiber provider, today announced the signing of its first two community solar agreements. The use of climate-friendly energy is an important part of the Company’s growing sustainability efforts and helps ensure its continued stewardship of the environment.

When businesses, organizations or individuals subscribe to solar farms, the clean energy produced is fed directly to the utility grid, generating credits on subscribers’ electric bills for the value of the energy generated by their share of the farm. Community solar also benefits local economies by creating jobs, increasing tax revenues and generating income to support landowners.

Following conversations with multiple community solar developers across the company’s service area, Consolidated signed long-term agreements in Maine and Minnesota. The commitments, arranged with assistance from Insight Energy, increase the availability of clean power and help address climate change efforts.

In Maine, Consolidated is subscribed to 5.3 MW of solar capacity located in Versant Power. Its subscription is expected to generate approximately 6,470,335 kWh annually, enough to power 603 average U.S. households for a year,1 and will be supported by 409 company properties in the state.

In Minnesota, Consolidated is participating in the Solar*Rewards Community Program, the nation’s largest community solar program, administered by Xcel Energy. The company is subscribed to eight local solar gardens for nearly 2.6 MW of solar capacity, which is expected to generate approximately 3,092,466 kWh annually. This is enough to power 288 average U.S. households for a year.2

The energy generated from the two subscriptions is the equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions from nearly 763,000 gallons of gasoline consumed.3

“These commitments represent an important step in our journey to continue building a robust, sustainable business while reducing our environmental footprint,” said Bob Udell, Consolidated’s president and chief executive officer.

This year, the company is undertaking a more formalized study of its emissions footprint, beginning with the establishment of a Scope 2 emissions baseline. This baseline will help Consolidated measure and work toward reducing its overall Scope 2 emissions through future initiatives and programs.

The company has also embarked on a project to upgrade lighting to LED across more than 400 locations, as well as a range of other energy conservation measures to improve efficiency and drive further operational emission reductions. It is also establishing critical environmental goals around water consumption and waste, reuse and recycling programs -- key areas within its everyday operations.

“At Consolidated, we’re working hard to sustainably deliver the critical broadband infrastructure our customers and communities rely on,” said Eric Dunmire, senior director of facilities at Consolidated Communications. “These agreements allow Consolidated to contribute to cleaner energy for our communities and protect our environment in a cost-competitive way.”

More information on the company’s environmental commitment and goals, notable accomplishments and progress on important initiatives is available at consolidated.com/esg.

DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Satori Capital, a multi-strategy investment firm, announced today the launch of Satori Environmental, a long/short equity strategy that primarily invests in securities impacted by the global energy sector’s shift from fossil-based systems to renewable sources.


Satori Environmental actively manages a diversified portfolio of long and short positions intended to capitalize on the complex and dynamic forces driving the global energy transition.

“The transformation taking place in the energy sector is creating a wealth of opportunities, both long and short, for generating returns,” said Satori managing partner James Haddaway. “We believe capital markets are truly awakening to the tremendous long-term fundamentals for sustainable energy, and we feel very fortunate to be partnering with an expert who has the knowledge and experience to capitalize on breakout winners and losers in this sector.”

Satori Environmental is led by chief investment officer Paul Strigler, an 18-year veteran of the industry with highly specialized knowledge and relationships. Strigler has been exclusively focused on renewables and various sub-sectors since their public markets debut, and he has nurtured deep sector expertise and relationships with influential leaders in virtually every part of the industry. In June 2009, he helped launch what would become the longest-tenured renewables-dedicated hedge fund in the world. Over his 12-year tenure, that fund delivered strong, industry-leading absolute returns and significantly outperformed sector benchmarks.

“As far as we can ascertain, Paul Strigler’s longevity in this sector is unmatched,” said Haddaway. “As he likes to put it, he’s been doing this since it was just him and a couple of guys in Birkenstocks walking conference floors. Paul’s focus, experience, and expertise are key differentiators in this complex sector, a space where many investors who have dabbled in it have failed to generate strong returns. Paul has tracked, studied, and invested in this sector since before most investors knew it existed.”

Satori Environmental’s actively managed, long/short strategy is designed to strategically capitalize on the most important megatrends in the energy transition landscape. Its portfolio of long, medium, and short-term investments is diversified across a universe of more than 280 publicly traded companies comprising approximately $2.4 trillion of market capitalization.

Strigler partnered with Satori to launch Satori Environmental after years of mutual acquaintance. Through the partnership, Satori – a well-established firm with more than $1.25 billion in assets under management and a substantial team of professionals – efficiently manages all non-investment-related activities so that Strigler can focus exclusively on the investment portfolio.

“I am thrilled to join the Satori team and turn a valued long-term relationship into a true partnership,” Strigler said. “Satori’s uncompromising values, operational excellence, and commitment to the strategy align perfectly with the strong foundation I have built over the past 18 years. In a sector often inhabited by transient players and short-term tourists, I look forward to spending the remainder of my career capitalizing on the energy transition in a partnership built to endure.”

About Satori Capital

Satori Capital is a Texas-based multi-strategy investment firm founded upon the principles of conscious capitalism. Satori’s private equity business partners with leadership teams of companies with $5 million to $50 million of EBITDA that operate with a long-term perspective, commit to their mission or purpose, and create value for all stakeholders. Satori’s alternatives investment platform, Satori Alpha, creates and manages customized portfolios designed to meet the unique objectives of sophisticated private investors, family offices, and institutions. Through its Satori XL Partnership Program, Satori partners with managers that it believes are highly skilled at generating sustainable alpha and would benefit from Satori’s experience, relationships, and resources, all in support of building thriving and enduring businesses.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Today's U.S. Electric Power Industry, ISO Markets, and Power Transactions" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


If you have difficulty understanding the U.S. electric power industry and how power transactions are done, you are not alone.

This in-depth training program provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the structure, function, and current status of today's U. S. electric power industry; the many industry topics listed below; and how PPAs and other power transactions are done.

Each part of this complex industry is explained piece-by-piece, and then the pieces are integrated so that you will finally understand "how it all fits together."

What You Will Learn

  • The structure and function of the electric service system, its terminology and units, and the properties of electricity.
  • How the North American power grid is structured, how it operates and what the different types of electric generation are.
  • How control areas, balancing authorities, spinning reserves, AGC and security constrained environmental economic dispatch work.
  • Who the key players in the industry are, and why the industry is so difficult to restructure.

  • The opportunities and challenges associated with wind, solar and other renewables.
  • How ISO Day-Ahead energy auction markets operate in PJM, New York, Texas, California, MISO and other ISO areas;
  • What locational marginal pricing (LMP) is and why it is important; how Day-Ahead and Real Time LMP is applied in the ISO markets, and why FTRs, TCCs, CRRs, TCRs , virtual bids ("Incs & Decs") and convergence bidding are important to understand.
  • What capacity markets and resource adequacy are, and how this important issue relates to demand response, DER and demand side management and affects the integration of wind, solar and other renewables into the existing power grid.
  • An overview of Utility scale solar, rooftop solar, and net metering, and wind and other renewable energy resources.

  • How to transport physical power using OASIS and NERC tags, and how and why companies often move physical power financially causing it to 'jump' between regions.
  • The difference between physical, scheduled, and contract path power flows.
  • What "sellers choice" is, and how transaction "daisy chains" form at virtual trading hubs.
  • How and why physical power transactions are often "booked-out" and settled in cash, and why bilateral transactions in ISO markets are primarily financial.
  • How to execute wholesale and retail power marketing transactions both within and outside of an ISO area- including commonly used contract language and NERC tags; how to manage LMP, basis, delivery, volumetric, intermittency and operational risks; and why NITS, TAC, UCAP, resource adequacy and ancillary service charges need to be included.
  • How ICE & CME cash settled futures contacts, commodity swaps and FTRs/CRRs/TCCs can be used to hedge electricity price, basis and LMP spread risk.

Joins New Jersey Audubon’s Corporate Stewardship Council
Renews Partnership Agreement with The Nature Conservancy in New Jersey 
Announces $35,000 Donation to Coastal Climate Initiative to Support Local Climate Projects 

WALL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR), parent company of New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), today marked Earth Day 2022 by announcing its membership in the Corporate Stewardship Council of the New Jersey Audubon. One of the state’s leading environmental advocacy organizations dedicated to conservation, biodiversity and the protection of wildlife and habitats, New Jersey Audubon created the Corporate Stewardship Council to provide member companies the opportunity to participate in habitat conservation.


The goals directly align with NJR’s efforts to promote environmental and natural resource stewardship and bolster its long-standing record of sustainability and climate leadership.

“Today, we reinforce our commitment and efforts to preserve and enhance the environmental future of New Jersey,” said Steve Westhoven, president and CEO of New Jersey Resources. “Our company will continue to be a sustainability leader by working toward our goal of net-zero operational emissions in New Jersey, leveraging our world-class infrastructure to decarbonize the energy we deliver to customers and continuing to invest in, and support, local climate solutions in the communities we serve.”

NJR also announced today it will provide $35,000 in new funding through the company’s Coastal Climate Initiative™ (CCI) to support local natural resource preservation and restoration projects that have a positive climate impact.

Launched on Earth Day 2021, the CCI was created to support local efforts to fight climate change beginning with the restoration of saltwater tidal wetlands along the coast of our service territory.

Over the past year, the program has already successfully raised nearly $30,000 from NJNG customer donations and a dollar-for-dollar company match, supporting the work of the Nature Conservancy in New Jersey and its partners in their efforts to restore saltwater tidal wetlands in the Barnegat Bay watershed, an iconic part of NJNG’s service territory at the Jersey Shore.

“It gives me hope carbon-storing habitats, like forests and marshes, can be our biggest ally in tackling climate change and helping natural and human communities adapt,” said Dr. Barbara Brummer, New Jersey State director for The Nature Conservancy. “We are grateful to New Jersey Natural Gas customers who are supporting our work to restore coastal salt marshes in our state’s back bays, and we thank New Jersey Resources for generously continuing its Coastal Climate Initiative.”

NJR and The Nature Conservancy in New Jersey recently renewed their partnership to continue supporting this important work – a key component of the CCI. This collaborative effort helps support the restoration and preservation of vital coastal ecosystems that sequester carbon emissions, protect coastal communities from extreme weather and serve as habitats for critical biodiversity along the Jersey Shore.

Today’s announcement builds on NJR’s strong record as a leader on environmental and climate issues across its businesses, including its goal to voluntarily achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its New Jersey operations by 2050. NJR achieved the following sustainability milestones over the past year:

  • Announced net-zero goal for New Jersey operational emissions and defined key components to achievement by 2050. NJR has already reduced its operational emission in New Jersey by 55% from 2006 levels, well ahead of the state’s goal of an 80% reduction by 2050.
  • Advanced innovation and decarbonization efforts with the completion of the first green hydrogen facility on the East Coast, blending zero-carbon energy into existing infrastructure to serve customers.
  • Continued to lead in environmentally sound infrastructure investments, with 99% of unprotected steel and 100% of all cast iron replaced in NJNG’s pipeline distribution system.
  • Launched a $259 million customer-focused, energy-efficiency program, the largest in company history.
  • Increased transparency and disclosure in its sustainability reporting, in line with the recommendations of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework.
  • Named a Most Responsible Company by Newsweek for 2022, for three consecutive years.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (“EverGen'' or the “Company”) (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF), today reported financial results as at and for the three- month period and year ended December 31, 2021. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are in accordance with IFRS.


For further information on the results please see the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EverGen’s website at www.evergeninfra.com.

Message to our Shareholders:

2021 was a transformational year for EverGen which saw the assembly of our core BC portfolio, acquisition of Fraser Valley Biogas, taking the company public via IPO and associated capital raises, together which have positioned EverGen to expedite growth as Canada’s RNG infrastructure platform. We delivered on our operational goals despite a number of challenges that we were able to overcome.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, our operations were impacted by the flooding events in the Abbotsford and Sumas Prairie regions. Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA were impacted by downtime and increased costs, while Revenue increased over the previous quarter due to higher volumes of incoming organic feedstock primarily related to post-flood processing. EverGen’s FVB facility was temporarily shutdown on November 15, 2021 as a result of the flooding events.

Today our operations have successfully recovered from the impact of the floods, including bringing EverGen’s FVB facility back online on March 2, 2022. To date in 2022, EverGen has recovered more than $1.7 million of insurance proceeds, which represents a progress payment relating to lost revenues and additional expenses incurred from the flooding events. EverGen expects to recover further proceeds throughout 2022 as it incurred additional flood related expenses. This results in a deferral of positive Adjusted EBITDA that would have otherwise been recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021.

RNG volumes commenced on April 16, 2021, upon the acquisition of Fraser Valley Biogas (“FVB”). RNG volumes were lower for the fourth quarter of 2021 as a direct result of flooding events in the Abbotsford and Sumas Prairie regions, which resulted in the shut down of the FVB facility on November 15, 2021, until operations were restored. Since March 2, 2022 FVB has been operating and producing daily volumes of up to 223 GJ/d, restoring production volumes to historical levels.

(2)

Operating expenses and cost of goods sold increased during the fourth quarter of 2021 at FVB and Net Zero Waste Abbotsford (“NZWA”) as a direct result of the flooding events.

(3)

The lost revenues and additional costs incurred as a result of the floods are insurable under the Company’s insurance policies and will be offset with insurance proceeds received and recognized in net income (loss) during 2022. There were no insurance proceeds related to the floods recognized in net income (loss) during 2021.

Management Team Growth

EverGen successfully achieved its 2021 milestones, increasing productivity at all three facilities as well as executing on acquisitional growth. With a solid leadership team in place to set the foundation, we have expanded the core team to accelerate our growth trajectory and leverage our unique position in the RNG industry.

After successfully leading the Company’s initial acquisitions and IPO in August of 2021, Mischa Zajtmann, President of EverGen has assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer, overseeing our technical leaders to drive best in class performance in operations, successful development and integration of growth projects and fostering synergies across the organization. Concurrently, Sean Mezei will transition to a strategic RNG advisor role. He will provide focused support and expertise to the operating and project teams including playing a key role in the Company’s evaluation of new projects and growth strategy, as well commissioning and optimization of our core RNG facilities.

Additionally, EverGen has welcomed Jamie Betts, VP of Operations, and Sean Hennessy, VP of Finance, as the Company continues to expand its RNG platform and become increasingly active in the M&A space and delivering on a growing number of expansion and development projects.

Betts, a professional engineer, joins EverGen as VP of Operations with over 35 years of experience in multinational energy and waste management companies, including, more recently, the positions of VP of Engineering at Miller Waste Systems Inc. and Project Director at Husky Energy. He brings to the team a demonstrated track record in project execution, process implementation, safety optimization, and environmental, operations and maintenance performance expertise, all of which will bolster the EverGen platform in operations, existing expansion projects and future growth opportunities.

Hennessy, a chartered accountant, joins EverGen as VP of Finance with over 15 years of finance and accounting related experience, including the positions of Director of Corporate Reporting for Altera Infrastructure, a global energy infrastructure group and a Brookfield Business Partners portfolio company, and Director of Financial Reporting for a clean technology company. He brings to the team a proven track record of success working within public and private equity portfolio companies and will support EverGen in realizing platform synergies with his strong business acumen combined with well-developed analytical skills and a focus on accretive growth.

These additions to the management team further strengthens our Company and provides additional capacity for development, construction, and operations for EverGen’s growing platform.

Pursuant to the Company’s Equity Plan, the Company has granted 78,976 restricted share units (RSUs) to certain officers of the Company.

2021 Achievements & Highlights:

1. Establishing our Initial Core RNG Portfolio

  • In 2021, after successfully establishing EverGen’s cornerstone portfolio with NZWA and Sea to Sky Soils, EverGen completed the acquisition of Fraser Valley Biogas, the first operational RNG facility in B.C., setting the foundation for EverGen’s leadership in renewable natural gas infrastructure in Canada. The acquisition was consistent with the Company’s focus on acquiring and building-out RNG and sustainable waste-to-energy projects, providing optimization opportunities and synergies with our existing portfolio.

2. Solid Operational & Asset performance

  • Resilient Performance: The Company’s operations team delivered strong performance throughout the year despite challenges of high summer temperatures in the region, COVID-19 impacts and the severe floods encountered in late-2021.
  • Fraser Valley Biogas Optimization: Our Fraser Valley Biogas facility has been supplying renewable energy into BC for over a decade. In the short period since EverGen has owned and operated the facility, Fraser Valley Biogas achieved record monthly production from enhancement and optimization projects completed with minimal capital expenditure.
  • Sea to Sky Soils Partnerships: Our Sea to Sky Soils organic waste processing and composting facility processed approximately 160% of its budgeted tonnage in the second half of 2021. EverGen partnered with local municipalities – including Metro Vancouver and the municipality of Pemberton – for the delivery of additional organic waste to the facility throughout 2021 and onward. Further to generating additional revenue, the facility serves as a source of valuable feedstock to support EverGen’s existing and future RNG operations.
  • NZWA Operational Consistency & Community Support: EverGen worked in close partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environment and the City of Abbotsford to support the region’s clean-up efforts by processing approximately 90% of the organic waste generated by the flood. NZWA was one of few facilities that remained open following the flood, due in large part to efforts by site staff who managed the floodwaters and helped NZWA stay operational throughout.

3. Strong Capital Discipline

  • Operating Results: During 2021, EverGen generated $9.6 million of revenues and $2.8 million of adjusted EBITDA in line with budgeted expectations.
  • Strong Cash Position: As at December 31, 2021, EverGen had cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million, restricted cash of $2.7 million and a working capital surplus of $20.9 million. Following the initial public offering in August 2021, EverGen has maintained its strong cash position, placing it with a unique opportunity to execute on existing and future expansion projects.

4. Positioning for Growth

  • Achieved strong capital support: During 2021, EverGen was successful in raising $34.1 million in net proceeds from the completion of various financing initiatives, including the initial public offering in August 2021, which demonstrates EverGen’s flexibility and diversification in its capital structure and well positions the Company to execute on growth opportunities.
  • Solidified RNG Offtake Partnerships: During the fourth quarter, the British Columbia Utilities Commission (“BCUC”) approved a 20 year RNG offtake agreement with FortisBC Energy Inc. (“FortisBC”) for the Company’s anaerobic digester expansion project at its NZWA composting and organic processing facility.

Outlook

In 2021, EverGen laid the foundation for growth and positioned the Company to be a leader in the RNG infrastructure space in 2022 and beyond. The recently announced letter of intent to acquire a 67% interest in GrowTec, an Alberta based biogas facility, is a cornerstone project in a new jurisdiction for EverGen and demonstrates the Company’s ability to participate in the consolidation and growth of the RNG industry. EverGen intends to pursue similar opportunities within its core markets and across the country, investing in truly sustainable operations that contribute to carbon-negative energy production and positively impacting climate change initiatives.

Core Expansion Projects Update

NZWA: The Company’s Net Zero Waste Abbotsford composting facility will undergo a capital expansion project to add an anaerobic digester to produce biogas, which will then be upgraded to RNG to feed into FortisBC’s gas network under a previously announced long-term off-take contract. The expansion is expected to increase the facility throughput to ~135,000 tonnes of feedstock per year and is designed to produce ~180,000 GJ of RNG per year.

As a result of ongoing Covid implications and the flooding event in late-2021, the Company is anticipating a delay in construction of the expansion project based on recent discussions with local and provincial regulatory authorities. To mitigate these delays and advance the project with minimal impact to the schedule, EverGen’s management team is considering a number of options and will provide updates on the project schedule as it becomes available. Concurrently, management is evaluating additional opportunities to utilize capital earmarked for this project to advance new core projects with similar return profiles.

FVB: The Company’s Fraser Valley Biogas RNG facility will undergo a capital expansion project to add additional RNG production capacity. The expansion is expected to nearly double the capacity of the facility to accept ~100,000 tonnes of feedstock per year and increase RNG production to ~160,000 GJ per year.

We anticipate this expansion project may also experience some delays in the approval process due to the same issues outlined above, however with the initial phase of the expansion project utilizing existing site infrastructure, incremental RNG production and additional EBITDA contribution is still expected by the end of 2022.

Sea to Sky Soils: Sea to Sky Soils is working with the Ministry of Environment to expand operational capacity in 2022 which further bolsters EverGen’s footprint in Southern BC allowing for processing of incremental organic waste feedstock volumes.

Summary

EverGen remains positioned to deliver strong shareholder returns in 2022 and beyond with many competitive advantages, including the following:

  1. Established Platform – First Mover in Canada: In a short time-frame, EverGen has uniquely assembled a strong cornerstone asset base that provides opportunity for expansion and synergies. The RNG infrastructure platform forms the foundation for the EverGen team to leverage expertise and partnerships to expand across Canada, aggregate the fragmented market and deliver accretive returns.
  2. Scaled-up Management Team: With a growing project pipeline and abundant acquisition opportunities, EverGen has further strengthened its management team, attracting talent from across the RNG and waste management industries which underpins the team to continue to scale the business.
  3. Rapidly Expanding Project Pipeline: The RNG industry in Canada is ripe for consolidation, evident in the recently announced letter of intent to acquire a 67% interest in GrowTec in Alberta. The management team is seeing increasing deal flow and is evaluating a number of projects across the country in key markets including BC, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec that are expected to reveal additional opportunities in 2022.
  4. Diversified Access to Capital: EverGen remains in a strong cash position and is disciplined with its approach to capital allocation. The operating projects provide the financial flexibility to internally finance growth projects and expansion opportunities with project level financing options, and a number of strategic investors have expressed interest and can be utilized for accretive growth.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Australia Automotive Coolant Market by Vehicle Type, Product Type, Technology, Demand Category and Region: Forecast & Opportunities to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The Australian Automotive Coolant Market was valued at USD 267.06 Million in 2019 and is forecast to grow at CAGR of over 9% in the next five years to reach USD 340.61 Million by 2025.

Anticipated growth in the market can be attributed to rising demand of passenger cars, coupled with increase in construction and mining activities in the country.

Moreover, improving economic conditions after COVID-19 outbreak, increase in disposable income and rise in financial status of the consumers are predicted to positively influence the growth of the market in the coming years. Majority of the high-performance vehicle manufacturing companies are in Australia and the automotive industry is expanding its business in Australia to decrease the import of passenger vehicles from other APAC countries which will offer a lucrative market for automotive coolant manufacturer through 2025.

The Australian Automotive Coolant Market is segmented based on vehicle type, product type, technology, demand category and region. Based on vehicle type, the market can be segmented into passenger car, commercial vehicle, two-wheeler and OTR. Based on vehicle type passenger car is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period, due to growing registration of passenger car and increasing in ownership of vehicle post COVID.

In terms of product type, market can be segmented into ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol. Ethylene glycol is expected to hold major share during the forecast period, on account of low price, availability and demand in the market, so the majority of lubricant manufacturer prefer to use ethylene glycol for manufacturing of automotive lubricants.

The study is useful in providing answers to several critical questions that are important for industry stakeholders such as automotive coolant manufacturers, distributors and dealers, customers and policy makers. The study would also help them to target the growing segments over the coming years (next two to five years), thereby aiding the stakeholders in taking investment decisions and facilitating their expansion.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes", "projects" and "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and are subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. Actual results and outcomes may vary materially from what is expressed or forecast in such statements due to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the possibility of drilling cost overruns and technical difficulties, volatility of oil and gas prices, competition, risks inherent in the Company's oil and gas operations, the inexact nature of interpretation of seismic and other geological and geophysical data, imprecision of reserve estimates, and the Company's ability to replace and expand oil and gas reserves. Accordingly, stockholders and potential investors are cautioned that certain events or circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
