BioConsortia Named Finalist for Best R&D Pipeline and Announces Superior Field Trial Results



DAVIS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioConsortia, Inc. today announced the company has been nominated as a finalist for the 2022 S&P Global Commodity Insights’ Crop Science Awards in the category of Best R&D Pipeline. The highly coveted awards, formerly known as the Agrow Awards, draw submissions from around the world highlighting the creativity and innovation permeating the industry. The nomination coincides with results from 2022 trials conducted in 20 states confirming superior product performance in the field.

“On behalf of the team at BioConsortia, I would like to thank the team at S&P Global Commodity Insights for their recognition and continued support of innovation in crop science,” said Marcus Meadows-Smith, CEO of BioConsortia. “The breadth and diversity of our pipeline, with solutions for yield-robbing nematodes, the negative effects of nitrogen use, and food waste, emphasize our focus – unleashing the power of microbes to meet the world’s food needs while reducing agriculture’s ecological impact.”

BioConsortia’s pipeline of microbe-based products are effective across all important ag targets – including nitrogen replacement, crop pesticides, nutrient efficiency, and post-harvest food protection. The products are the result of BioConsortia’s proprietary and patented R&D processes, including:

  • Advanced Microbial Selection™ (AMS), which identifies and evolves plant-associated microbes through directed selection;
  • RhizoViz™, which uses proteins to investigate root-microbe affiliation;
  • And GenePro™, BioConsortia’s system for classifying, predicting and designing genetic infrastructure to unlock potential within the microbial genome.

BioConsortia’s R&D Pipeline is a finalist for the “Best R&D Pipeline” category alongside Atens, BioTrop, FMC and Syngenta Crop Protection. Winners, judged by an independent panel of industry experts, will be announced at the Crop Science Forum and Awards in London November 10th.

The nomination coincides with the annual collection of BioConsortia’s field trial results. In the 2022 season, the company’s products continued to show exciting promise. Early results with corn and soybean bionematicides, for example, demonstrated nematode reductions alongside yield improvements of as much as 20%, exceeding the yield impact of the chemical standard. Meanwhile, nitrogen-fixation leads from BioConsortia continued strong performance in field testing, preserving wheat yields even when nitrogen fertilizer levels were reduced 50%. Nitrogen-fixing leads from BioConsortia demonstrated their commercial fit as robust and easy-to-use seed treatments generating a yield increase with either a reduced or full fertilizer regime.

“These latest field trial results truly demonstrate the power of BioConsortia R&D platform to deliver a pipeline of new products with superior efficacy and higher consistency to the current market leading products,” said Meadows-Smith. “These products represent a breakthrough for growers and the health of the planet.”

First live implementation of smart contracts in offshore oil and gas drilling

STAVANGER, Norway & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#drilling--Data Gumbo, the leading industrial smart contract solution provider, today announced that Equinor (OSE: EQNR, NYSE: EQNR) has implemented Data Gumbo’s smart contract platform to automatically calculate and execute payments for Integrated Drilling and Well Services (IDWS) Day Rates for Johan Sverdrup and Troll assets. Data Gumbo’s smart contract network, GumboNet™, enables the company to automate payments under their existing natural language contract using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data from Equinor and 3rd party logistics systems.


“We are pleased to move from testing to implementation of smart contracts,” said Erik Gustav Kirkemo, SVP, of Drilling and Well at Equinor. “Smart contracts enable efficiency and automation gains both internally and for our service providers. It has the potential to take significant workload off the desk of many people at the same time as we remain compliant to our responsibilities. It allows all participants involved to continue to focus on drilling safe and sustainable wells while taking advantage of the benefit of automation in invoicing processes.”

Equinor chose to start with the day rate portions of the broader contract for two assets worked by one platform and four drilling rigs. Equinor and its supplier share a variety of data including purchase orders, daily reports, logging, and control system telemetry with GumboNet™. The smart contract then applies agreed business logic to this data and creates charges and invoices, which Equinor and their supplier review. Once approved, GumboNet™ pushes the charges to SAP via a secure API to complete the payment cycle.

“Equinor is leading the world in industrial business-to-business smart contracts,” said William Fox, CEO of Data Gumbo. “Smart contracts are providing unprecedented automation, transparency, and efficiency in the energy industry. The more work we do with operators and their supply chains, the more value we find for all parties that participate.”

Across a broad array of energy use cases, smart contracts combine IIoT data with the business rules and pricing of a contract to create an auditable, immutable, and shared record of truth, enabling the automation of invoicing and payments. This eliminates 95% of payment delays, invoicing errors, disputes, and complicated reconciliations—significantly reducing the manual actions to produce an approved invoice from 60+ to two or three steps.

Equinor continues to expand the automation of their IDWS agreements with a goal of 80%+ total contract coverage by Q4 2022. Additional smart contracts in development and testing include lump sum deliveries, meter rates, volume rates, incentives, and personnel charges.

About Equinor

Equinor is a broad energy company with more than 21,000 employees committed to providing affordable energy for societies worldwide and taking a leading role in the energy transition.

New dataset, RepRisk Geospatial, identifies proximity of extractive sector projects to Key Biodiversity Areas and protected areas

ZURICH, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ESG data science firm RepRisk and the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT) Alliance collaborated to unlock biodiversity insights via RepRisk Geospatial Analytics, which launches today. An extension of RepRisk’s flagship product, the RepRisk ESG Risk Platform, Geospatial Analytics facilitates robust biodiversity risk assessment for market practitioners and solves common pitfalls around quality and availability of both biodiversity and proximity data.


RepRisk Geospatial provides powerful biodiversity due diligence data, showing the proximity of 60,000+ mining and oil and gas projects to 270,000+ protected areas and 16,000+ Key Biodiversity Areas – then rolling those insights up to project owner and operator companies. These insights provide useful information to market practitioners asking questions like, “does my client operate any pipelines near protected areas?” or “does the mine in my portfolio overlap with areas of high biodiversity value?”

“RepRisk Geospatial Analytics is ground-breaking for investors. It is essential to understand where companies own and operate assets before it is possible to understand the potential biodiversity related risk of an investment.” said Edward Ellis, Business Manager at IBAT Alliance. “RepRisk links assets on the ground to owner and operator companies, enabling investors to better understand aspects of their nature-related risk. When combined with the existing risk information in RepRisk’s ESG Risk Platform, investors are able to analyse biodiversity in the Environmental pillar of ESG in an even more multi-dimensional way.”

A preliminary analysis of RepRisk Geospatial Analytics reveals that:

  • Approximately 32% of natural and mixed UNESCO World Heritage sites are currently within 1km of an extractive project.
  • 52% (470 out of 900) of Alliance for Zero Extinction Sites, which are home to the last of some of the world's most threatened species, are within 10km of an extractive project.
  • Approximately 8,400 or 81% of Oil and Gas pipelines worldwide are within 10 km of at least one environmentally sensitive site.

RepRisk Geospatial is emerging alongside the Taskforce for Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)'s progress on a biodiversity risk management and reporting framework, to be adopted by financial institutions and corporates. "The TNFD has made it clear: geospatial data is essential for reporting on corporate biodiversity risk and moving toward a nature-positive economy," says Alexandra Mihailescu Cichon, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at RepRisk. “RepRisk Geospatial Analytics not only brings clients in step with emerging frameworks like TNFD but empowers them with the most cutting-edge technology and the world’s most comprehensive ESG dataset. Nature doesn’t disclose anything, and ultimately biodiversity risk and financial risk are one and the same. It’s time for financial markets to integrate biodiversity risk considerations into their decision-making processes."

Future applications for RepRisk Geospatial Analytics include proximity data on projects beyond the extractive sector and data on emissions and deforestation.

About RepRisk
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Switzerland, RepRisk is a pioneer in ESG data science that leverages the combination of AI and machine learning with human intelligence to systematically analyze public information and identify material ESG risks. RepRisk’s flagship product, the RepRisk ESG Risk Platform, is the world’s largest and most comprehensive due diligence database on ESG and business conduct risks, with expertise in 23 languages and coverage of 200,000+ public and private companies and 55,000+ infrastructure projects. For more than a decade, the world’s leading financial institutions and corporations have trusted RepRisk for due diligence and risk management across their operations, business relationships, and investments.

Nearly 2 GWh of energy generated and supplied while Puerto Rico electric grid was down

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnova Energy International Inc. ("Sunnova") (NYSE: NOVA), a leading U.S. Energy as a Service (EaaS) provider, announced that it powered the homes of over 30,000 customers with solar and battery storage in Puerto Rico during the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, from September 18 to October 1, 2022, while the centralized monopoly power system had been damaged and was unable to deliver power to the people of Puerto Rico.


During the approximately two weeks immediately following the hurricane, when most residents in Puerto Rico were without power, Sunnova SunSafe ® solar + storage systems generated a total of nearly 2 GWh of energy. Over this time period, Sunnova provided 3.4 million hours of aggregate back-up power for solar + storage customers in Puerto Rico, with an average of 128 hours of power generated per household. Sunnova customers averaged 5.3 days of solar + storage battery backup with many residents remaining dependent on their Sunnova system for more than 10 days.

“We’re proud of our long history and commitment to Puerto Rico that includes an investment of more than $1 billion in building residential solar and storage systems on the island. That investment meant 30,000 customers were able to keep the lights on and their families safe,” said John Berger, CEO of Sunnova. “We believe this demonstrates that in times of an emergency, a solar + storage system provides homeowners the peace of mind that comes with producing and storing their own power. As the largest provider of distributed residential solar power on the island, Sunnova is committed to providing Puerto Ricans with clean, resilient and affordable energy services backed by the best service in the industry.”

“Out of our more than 30,000 Sunnova SunSafe® systems in Puerto Rico, only 59 required repair in the two weeks following the Hurricane, and Sunnova dispatched crews immediately to repair or replace non-performing systems, whether they were leased or owned,” said Michael Grasso, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer of Sunnova. “Looking ahead, we see an opportunity for distributed power to play a larger role in Puerto Rico by networking our solar + storage systems into powerful virtual power plants that would complement the centralized electric system and drive increased grid resiliency.”

Sunnova has been active in Puerto Rico since 2013 and has the largest presence on the island with over 38,000 customers and growing rapidly. Sunnova has deployed nearly 40,000 batteries in Puerto Rico and has a 100% battery attachment rate since 2018. Sunnova provides long-term security to Puerto Rican homeowners with its Sunnova Protect® energy guarantee for 25 years of worry-free service that includes maintenance, monitoring, repairs, and replacements.

Project in Inver Grove Heights expected to produce 6.3 million gasoline gallon equivalent per year of low-carbon renewable natural gas

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OPAL Fuels Inc. (Nasdaq: OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG), and NextEra Energy Marketing, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, today announced the commencement of commercial operations at the first landfill renewable natural gas (RNG) production facility in Minnesota. The Pine Bend RNG Project is located at a landfill owned by Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG), a leader in the environmental services industry, and interconnected with a pipeline owned by Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL), the leading electric and gas utility in the region.


The new, state-of-the-art RNG facility captures naturally occurring biogas, made up in part by methane, from Pine Bend Landfill and transforms it into RNG. Methane is a natural byproduct of a variety of sources and is a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). RNG is the right now solution to the right now problem of climate change and is one of the most attractive sources of renewable energy.

This project replaces a landfill gas-to-electricity project, which has now been decommissioned. At full capacity, the facility is expected to process an estimated 3,350 SCFM of landfill gas resulting in the production of 6.3 million gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) per year of RNG. The low-carbon gas is then injected into Xcel Energy’s gas pipeline. This RNG, when used as transportation fuel rather than diesel, will avoid GHG emissions equivalent to achieving zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from approximately 484 heavy-duty trucks per year.

“The Pine Bend RNG project further demonstrates the continued execution of the OPAL Fuels growth strategy,” said Jonathan Maurer, Co-CEO of OPAL Fuels. “With an extensive track record of delivering value from waste-to-energy, we currently manage a broad portfolio of RNG facilities, including six currently in operation, with six more in construction. We are pleased to work with best-in-class partners to make this first-of-its-kind project in Minnesota a reality.”

“We're pleased that the Pine Bend RNG facility is operational,” said Rebecca Kujawa, President and Chief Executive Officer of NextEra Energy Resources. “This facility is consistent with our belief that a substantial reduction of carbon emissions in the electricity, industrial, and transportation sectors is possible, which represents a significant investment opportunity in the coming decades.”

“At Republic Services, we’re putting sustainability in action through innovative partnerships including this project with OPAL Fuels and NextEra Energy Resources,” said Matt Healy, Republic Services Midwest Area President. “By utilizing a natural renewable byproduct of the landfill, we can produce a low-carbon transportation fuel that helps Minnesota and our local community achieve their climate action goals.”

“As the first U.S. energy provider to announce a comprehensive vision with aggressive goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all the ways our customers use energy, our collaboration with OPAL Fuels is helping build the market for renewable natural gas,” said Chris Clark, President, Xcel Energy-Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. “We’re working to expand clean energy sources to benefit our customers and communities and renewable natural gas and projects such as Pine Bend play an important role in our net-zero emissions strategy for our natural gas business.”

Company’s methane intensity has reduced more than 50% since 2016

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today published a methane report that builds on Chevron’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency on climate-related matters. This report details information on Chevron’s approach to detecting, measuring and reducing methane intensity. Since 2016, Chevron has reduced the company’s methane intensity by 50 percent. Chevron’s U.S. upstream methane intensity is 85 percent lower than the U.S. upstream production sector average as of 2020.


“Our strategy is clear – leverage our strengths to safely deliver lower carbon energy to a growing world. Effective methane management is important for lower carbon intensity oil and gas production,” said Balaji Krishnamurthy, corporate vice president of Strategy and Sustainability. “Chevron’s ambition is to be a global leader in methane emissions performance. Our goal is simple – keep methane in the pipe.”

Chevron is taking action to meet that aim through reducing methane intensity, improving methane detection and advancing measurement. In particular, we aim to design and operate facilities to help prevent methane emissions and deploy technologies to validate performance, inform repairs and improve inventories.

In the Permian Basin, as part of the standard design, we include vapor recovery units for tank batteries and compressor stations. Since 2011, we have included compressed air for pneumatic controllers to eliminate methane emissions from that source. In addition, we have committed to designing, where possible, all new upstream facilities to operate without routine methane emissions.

Chevron is testing emerging technology and incorporating innovative solutions into our methane management programs. We are working toward integrating comprehensive direct measurement into existing emission factor-based inventories as protocols are developed and technologies become more widely available to improve methane detection at both the site and source levels. Since 2016, we have tested 13 advanced detection and measurement technologies. The full Methane Report is available here.

This report includes information that addresses a stockholder proposal requesting Chevron to report on the reliability of methane emissions disclosures, a proposal the Board of Directors recommended stockholders support, and which passed at the company’s 2022 Annual Stockholders Meeting in May.

Chevron is one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies. We believe affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner energy is essential to achieving a more prosperous and sustainable world. Chevron produces crude oil and natural gas; manufactures transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and additives; and develops technologies that enhance our business and the industry. We are focused on lowering the carbon intensity in our operations and growing lower carbon businesses along with our traditional business lines. More information about Chevron is available at www.chevron.com.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Futurum Research, a global tech-focused strategy, research, and advisory analyst firm focused on analyzing emerging and market-disrupting technologies, identifying and validating trends, and empowering clients to find their competitive edge in the digital economy, has published a new global environmental sustainability index reporting current corporate optimism along with longer-term business worries.


The inaugural index report, produced in collaboration with Honeywell, surveyed more than 600 senior business professionals at large organizations worldwide across all industry sectors. The study revealed corporate success over the past 12 months but indicated concerns in meeting near-term and especially long-term 2030 targets.

The index, which will be distributed quarterly, assesses corporate achievement of climate change objectives as well as the sentiment of business leaders directly involved in sustainability initiatives. In terms of ranking current corporate priorities for the next six months, respondents said sustainability was at the top of the list ahead of other major business initiatives including financial performance (No. 2), digital transformation, market growth, and workforce/talent development.

"The data-driven findings confirmed that environmental sustainability has taken center stage, and the new Honeywell-Futurum global index can serve as a bellwether for tracking the sentiment, adoption, and intent of companies around the world in reducing their carbon footprint," said Daniel Newman, principal analyst and founding partner at Futurum Research.

The index is designed to deliver actionable data on the prioritization, progress and expectation of achieving sustainability goals for energy efficiency, emission reduction, pollution prevention, and recycling. The double-blind survey of business professionals also offers insights on corporate sentiment on the speed of adoption of climate technology.

“This is the first quarterly barometer that reveals trends in business efforts to combat climate change as well as progress in corporate environmental sustainability programs and initiatives,” Newman added. “Over the next decade, we expect sustainability to be further prioritized through not only policy, but increased investment by the world's leading companies to demonstrate the importance of sustainable practices, becoming a mandate from consumers, investors, and company boards around the world."

Among some of the key findings from the survey:

  • The majority (97 percent) of organizations plan to increase budgets for sustainability initiatives and programs focused on one or more categories including energy conservation, greenhouse gas reduction, pollution mitigation, and recycling/re-use of products and components.
  • To achieve near-term environmental sustainability goals, organizations are focusing on process change through modification or elimination of specific operational practices and behavioral changes internally and with partners. Though most organizations are focused on process improvement, one-third of business leaders said they plan to rely on a blend that includes upgrade and replacement of existing equipment and systems with more efficient, sustainable technologies.
  • While corporate leaders are pleased with the progress of their sustainability programs so far, there was much less optimism expressed about the longer-term outlook for achieving goals set for 2030.

“Respondents felt good about the progress they've made in the last year on sustainability issues, but they weren't confident of their success moving forward,” said Shelly Kramer, principal analyst and founding partner Futurum Research. “That's an obvious reflection of the nascent stages of sustainability initiatives overall and the many challenges -- known and unknown -- ahead.”

Sustainability leaders report top barriers to success with near-term goals are due to the pandemic, staffing challenges, and budget concerns. As a result of current macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical concerns, Futurum warns those barriers may continue to remain obstacles, or even increase.

“It would not be a surprise to see sustainability budgets take a hit as a result,” Kramer said. “And with the clear focus on process improvement rather than on technology investment, we can see that there is much progress yet to be made. Process change alone is not the path to sustainability, and the fact that technology investments are not yet a priority for the majority of organizations demonstrates we are still in the very early stages of progress on the sustainability front.”

Honeywell, which has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2035, plans to publicly release the quarterly environmental sustainability index reports to assist business leaders and corporate stakeholders on critical issues and decision-making associated with climate change.

Proceeds support green and social initiatives in alignment with ESG commitments

DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Principal Financial Group® has released its first Principal Sustainable Financing Report to highlight the proceeds allocated to eligible green and social assets from the issuance of the company’s $600 million sustainability bond in August 2021. The report details allocation and key performance indicators of the proceeds, which went toward initiatives such as green buildings, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and affordable housing.

The bond is one example of the company’s commitment to advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in its organization and operations – with a client-first focus central to how ESG factors are integrated across investment portfolios.

“Principal has embraced sustainability as a core strategy to help strengthen our business, advance our purpose, and build a more inclusive and resilient global community,” said Deanna Strable, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Principal®. “The issuance of a sustainability bond and our first annual Sustainable Financing Report is another example of our commitment to positive change in the areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact.”

To govern the process for this sustainability bond and future issues of green, social, and sustainability bonds, Principal created the Principal Sustainable Financing Framework (the “Framework”). According to the Framework, eligible assets may include existing or future investments that meet defined criteria to help advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs). A business is only eligible if 90% or more of its revenue is derived from activities and criteria that align with U.N. SDGs. Principal obtained an independent Second-Party Opinion on its Sustainable Financing Framework. For more detail, see the Second-Party Opinion from Sustainalytics.

The sustainability bond was a five-year $600 million funding agreement-backed note (FABN) issued through Principal Life Global Funding II. BNP Paribas Securities Corp. served as the sole sustainability structuring agent and joint book runner with BofA Securities, Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. for the sustainability bond, which drew the interest of over 60 investors.

In accordance with the company’s commitment to transparency, Principal reengaged Sustainalytics, a qualified, independent external reviewer, to verify and provide third-party, limited assurance with respect to the management of the Principal Sustainable Financing proceeds and compatibility of the selected Eligible Assets with the Principal Sustainable Financing Framework.

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HydraForce, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic valves and manifolds, has partnered with Tan Delta Systems, the world’s leading manufacturer of real-time oil quality monitoring sensors and systems, to provide valuable real-time data about machine oil quality and expand its capabilities within the telematics market.


“We’re constantly looking for innovative ways to help our customers monitor their equipment and share valuable insights to manage their fleet more efficiently, reduce service costs and improve uptime,” said Russ Schneidewind, Director of Business Development, HydraForce. “This partnership allows us to offer a state-of-the-art oil conditioning sensor, that can be easily incorporated into the design of a manifold assembly using HydraForce cartridge valves to continuously monitor oil conditions.”

The Tan Delta sensor works by providing a full-spectrum holistic (FSHTM) oil quality analysis, which continuously monitors the ratio of two key measurements, capacitance and conductance, to provide a real-time measurement (permittivity). This sensor technology enables users to observe any changes within the oil composition, including signs of contamination or abnormalities in the oil chemistry.

“By combining the electronic controller architecture with telematics, users will have access to real-time data and ongoing alerts of oil conditions,” said Jason Sharpe, Tan Delta Systems. “This will help prevent excessive wear of hydraulic components and catastrophic failures that can occur when machines are in operation, resulting in increased productivity and reduced machine downtime and maintenance costs.”

Through accurate monitoring of oil health, maintenance scheduling can also be optimized as equipment is serviced only when required, and operators can rest assured that any unexpected changes in the oil condition will be immediately reported and detected. This can extend the life of equipment and machine health, as optimal oil conditions prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

HydraForce’s new technology is ideal for use in a variety of industries where high-value equipment requires a reliable oil condition monitoring system to ensure maximum equipment uptime, including agriculture, construction, material handling and mining.

This news follows HydraForce’s recent partnership with Elevāt IoT. As part of the Elevāt IoT subscription with HydraForce, operators use an application that can be paired with the Tan Delta oil conditioning sensor. This application will visualize data and provide customized alerts to inform the operator or owner when hydraulic fluids require maintenance.

HydraForce’s collaboration with both Elevāt IoT and Tan Delta will provide an integrated telematics solution for the market. For more information about these recent partnerships, visit www.hydraforce.com.

  • Fleet utilization at Rail North America and Rail International remains above 99%
  • Company expects to be at the upper end of the previously announced 2022 full-year earnings guidance range
  • Investment volume totaled approximately $888 million year to date

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2022 third-quarter net income of $29.1 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to net income of $40.1 million or $1.11 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. The 2022 third-quarter results include an impairment charge of $10.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, related to the Company’s decision to exit its rail business in Russia.


Net income for the first nine months of 2022 was $107.5 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, compared to $82.1 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The 2022 year-to-date results include net negative impacts of $55.2 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. The 2021 year-to-date results included net negative impacts of $43.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

"Demand for railcars remains strong across our global fleets," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "Fleet utilization at Rail North America remains high at 99.6% and our renewal success rate was 87.2% during the quarter. Absolute lease rates in North America increased sequentially for the ninth consecutive quarter, and the renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was positive 37.5% with an average renewal term of 33 months. We recently announced a new committed railcar supply agreement, totaling a minimum of 15,000 railcars, which will enable us to continue serving our large and diverse customer base in North America.

"Rail International performed well during the quarter as Rail Europe and Rail India maintained high fleet utilization and continued to take delivery of new cars to meet robust customer demand. In Portfolio Management, the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates continue to perform as expected. Global air passenger volume improved from a year ago but remains below pre-pandemic levels."

Mr. Lyons added, “Despite a volatile macro environment, we continue to identify attractive long-term growth opportunities in our markets in addition to the signing of a new railcar supply agreement in North America. Our disciplined asset allocation strategy resulted in investment volume of $203.4 million in the quarter and $887.9 million year to date.”

Mr. Lyons concluded, “Based on year-to-date performance and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we expect our 2022 full-year earnings to be at the upper end of our previously announced guidance range of $5.60 to $6.00 per diluted share. This guidance excludes any impact from Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $64.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $66.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. Year to date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $237.8 million, compared to $209.8 million in the same period of 2021. Higher revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was offset primarily by lower remarketing income due to timing. Higher 2022 year-to-date results were predominantly driven by higher gains on asset dispositions.

At Sept. 30, 2022, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was composed of approximately 111,500 cars, including over 10,200 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.6% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 99.4% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.2% at the end of the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was positive 37.5%. This compares to positive 18.3% in the prior quarter and negative 8.1% in the third quarter of 2021. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the third quarter was 33 months, compared to 34 months in the prior quarter and 32 months in the third quarter of 2021. Rail North America’s investment volume during the third quarter was $142.5 million.

Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided on the last page of this press release.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International’s segment profit was $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Year-to-date 2022, Rail International reported segment profit of $67.7 million, compared to $76.1 million for the same period of 2021. The third-quarter and year-to-date 2022 segment results include an impairment charge of $10.8 million related to the Company’s decision to exit its rail business in Russia. Compared to the prior year periods, results were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

At Sept. 30, 2022, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of over 27,700 cars. Utilization was 99.4%, compared to 99.9% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.1% at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. Segment loss year-to-date 2022 was $8.4 million, compared to a segment profit of $24.5 million for the same period of 2021. Year-to-date 2022 results include an impairment charge of $31.5 million associated with the decision to sell five specialized gas vessels (recorded in the second quarter) and a net impairment charge recorded by the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates (RRPF), of which GATX’s share is $15.3 million, related to aircraft spare engines in Russia (recorded in the first quarter). Favorable results in 2022 were driven by the performance at RRPF.

Synota will commercialize its software platform to deliver instant settlements to the energy industry, reducing costs and unleashing innovation to promote global energy abundance

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ClimateTech--Synota, a Bitcoin technology company providing transactional flexibility and instant settlements to the energy industry, today announced it has raised a $3 million seed round led by ego death capital. The investment will be used to rapidly commercialize the company’s settlement platform for power generators, distributors and energy consumers worldwide.


Synota was founded in 2022 with a mission to promote global energy abundance by integrating Bitcoin’s Lightning Network and energy.

“The freedom to transact is essential to solve the global challenges of energy equity and access. Anything less condemns future generations to energy poverty – this is why we are passionate about how Synota disrupts energy finance,” said Austin Mitchell, Co-founder and CEO of Synota.

Today, a significant disconnect exists between when and how energy flows compared to when and how the energy payments are settled. The disconnect results in cash lag, credit risk and increased energy costs.

Synota resolves these issues by integrating existing hardware and software in the energy industry with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, an open-source, peer-to-peer payment technology. Synota’s platform offers revolutionary transaction capability and instant settlements. Synchronizing the flow of energy with payments removes the financial friction currently inhibiting energy investment and innovation.

“Using Synota, back-office constraints will no longer limit a company’s ability to settle complex energy transactions,” said Lisa Scott, Co-founder and Chief Administrative Officer.

Enabling energy companies to settle transactions more frequently, based on real-time usage data, reduces counterparty risk and the need for collateral. Combined with the reduction in overhead costs from automating legacy and piecemeal settlement processes, Synota lowers the cost of energy.

Synota will launch a pay-as-you-go service for Bitcoin miners, hosts, and their energy suppliers early next year. Flexible transaction capabilities include dynamic pricing and simultaneous multi-party settlement. The software will be available for the broader energy industry starting in 2024.

Trammell Venture Partners, Rev1 Ventures, Hivemind VC, Bitcoiner Ventures and Recursive Capital also participated in the fundraising round, alongside other strategic partners.

About Synota

Synota was founded in 2022 by Austin Mitchell and Lisa Scott to bring about an abundant energy future. Synota’s software development is led by Max Dignan and the company is further supported by an experienced group of advisors. The team brings together a combined 125 years of experience in the energy industry along with Lightning Network expertise.
