Project Latest Example of ComEd’s Efforts to Develop Grid Innovations to Reduce Carbon Emissions and Air Pollution

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ComEd, in partnership with North Carolina State University’s FREEDM Systems Center, has been awarded a $200,000 federal research and development grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help fund a $5 million research project focused on improving the efficiency of, and reducing the cost of, extreme fast charging (XFC) for electric vehicles (EVs).

“The growth of electric vehicles has the potential to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality for everyone, regardless of if they drive or ride in an electric vehicle, but the time it takes to fully charge an electric vehicle can be a deterrent to consumers,” said Michelle Blaise, SVP of Technical Services at ComEd. “ComEd’s engineers are industry-leading innovators, and we’re honored to contribute our expertise and resources to find new technical solutions that will convince more consumers to switch to an EV.”

XFC will allow EV owners to charge their vehicles at a much faster rate than a Level 1 or Level 2 EV charger. Level 1 chargers, which rely on standard 120V outlets and alternating current, are the slowest available charging method, taking approximately 50 hours to charge a standard 70kWh EV battery. Level 2 chargers utilize 240V outlets and require approximately 7.5 hours to fully charge a standard 70kWh battery.

The XFC charger this project seeks to develop and demonstrate will be an ultra-low cost, all-silicon carbide modular power converter for direct current charging equipment which can connect directly to a medium voltage distribution system. With power capabilities of 300kWh, these chargers target reducing the time to fully charge a standard 70kWh EV battery to as little as 15 minutes.

“The goal of this new project is to bring extreme fast charging much closer to market realization and support the continued adoption of electric vehicles by reducing consumers’ charge anxiety,” said Srdjan Lukic, Ph.D., NC State professor, deputy director of FREEDM and Principal Investigator for the project. “We could not achieve that without collaboration from project partners like ComEd.”

The project will be broken into two phases focused on cost analysis & system development and system demonstration, respectively. After the charging systems have been developed, ComEd’s Grid Integration and Technology (GrIT) Lab in Maywood, Ill., will serve as the initial testing location for this new technology—providing an independent validation of the XFC system performance. ComEd will also support phase two of the project by identifying ideal locations on the distribution grid to demonstrate this technology, unlocking the potential for wider deployment.

The full $5 million XFC EV development and demonstration project is funded through collaborator cost shares including $200,000 from ComEd. Additional collaborators on this project include Danfoss, GoTriangle, New York Power Authority and North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center.

The ComEd GrIT Lab reinforces ComEd’s commitment to supporting the grid of the clean energy future for its customers. The lab focuses on the impacts increased levels of renewable and beneficial electrification technologies will have on the grid. Previous projects from the GrIT Lab include the Bronzeville Community Microgrid, the first utility-operated microgrid cluster powered by DERs and controllable gas generation, and the ComEd Distribution Linear State Estimator, a software application that processes field data to estimate system voltages, currents, and electrical power flows for the distribution grid to enhance remote system monitoring and control capabilities.

Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), the nation’s leading competitive energy provider, with approximately 10 million customers. ComEd provides service to approximately 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.

Current U.S. infrastructure is in major need of upgrades; significant investment by governments is already in motion, incentivizing green infrastructure initiatives.

Energy transition has been the early focus of investors, but there are multiple sectors within the green infrastructure space. RNEW is designed to provide diversified exposure.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VanEck today announced the launch of VanEck Green Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ: RNEW), an equity ETF offering exposure to the leading companies that are poised to drive and benefit from increased investment in efforts to make U.S. infrastructure more “green” and sustainable.


“The state of the U.S.’s infrastructure is in need of renewal and an upgrade in order to support a growing population and the goals of environmental sustainability and climate resiliency. In fact, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the U.S. a C- grade for its overall infrastructure in 2021, with sub-sectors including energy, hazardous waste and transit all earning D+ grades or worse,” said Michael Cohick, Director of Product Management with VanEck. “Fortunately, government initiatives and private sector innovations are providing potential opportunities for investors to participate in this long-term trend. We’re very pleased to be launching RNEW, with its ability to effectively target sustainable infrastructure companies broadly.”

RNEW seeks to track the Indxx US Green Infrastructure - MCAP Weighted Index (IUGIMWT, “the Index”) and is designed to offer exposure to a diversified portfolio of U.S. companies with revenues primarily generated from sustainable infrastructure businesses across a handful of key themes and sub-themes: environmental waste (including pollution control and waste management), building (including green constructions), and green energy and transportation (green energy and fuel, green transportation, and green infrastructure and equipment).

To be eligible for Index inclusion, companies must generate at least 50% of their revenues from green infrastructure activities, be domiciled in the U.S. and have a market cap of at least $500 million. The portfolio weighting caps sub-themes at 30% and specific equities at 5%.

“Up to this point, the majority of investor focus around green infrastructure has been in what we would term the ‘traditional’ sectors, such as transportation and industry,” said Cohick. “But there are numerous innovations taking place around green initiatives in power storage, construction, waste management and more that will drive the next iteration and evolution of U.S. infrastructure.”

“In August 2022, the U.S. massively increased the tax incentives on domestic clean energy projects through the Inflation Reduction Act,” said Rahul Sen Sharma, Managing Partner at Indxx. This, combined with the allocations in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act account for over half a trillion dollars in new climate action and related infrastructure project spending. We believe that this represents the start of a long-term shift towards sustained green infrastructure investment and growth here in the U.S. We are excited to partner with VanEck, to help investors target this opportunity through the listing of RNEW.”

VanEck also points to the significant commitments and investments already being made in these areas by both Federal and State governments in the U.S., with the Inflation Reduction Act alone providing $130 billion in funds to incentivize green infrastructure initiatives, including tax credits for solar and EV purchases, grants and loans for sustainable energy capital expenditures and both grants and tax credits for a wide array of decarbonization projects.

RNEW joins a set of strategies from VanEck focused on sustainable equity and fixed income exposures, including VanEck Low Carbon Energy ETF (SMOG), VanEck Green Bond ETF (GRNB), VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (SMI), VanEck Green Metals ETF (GMET), VanEck Future of Food ETF (YUMY) and the actively managed VanEck Sustainability Fund (ENVYX).

The VanEck team provides regular updates and insights on their sustainability solutions and research, which can be accessed here.

The Clean Energy Buyers Institute illuminates energy customer company demand for low-carbon materials and resulting action to advance preferences in clean energy procurement processes

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As companies continue to demonstrate critical leadership during the clean energy transition, demand has grown for strategies that optimize carbon impact along supply chains, including industrial emissions that are particularly difficult to reduce. The Clean Energy Buyers Institute’s (CEBI) Decarbonizing Industrial Supply Chain Energy (DISC-e) program, which was launched earlier this year, has engaged with more than 300 companies to accelerate the market for low-carbon industrial commodities illustrated in today’s White House announcement boosting clean manufacturing across the U.S.


From the products we use every day to buildings where we work and play to the critical components of a clean energy future, corporate leaders are taking actions to accelerate the market for low-carbon materials and manufacturing by using their purchasing power and voice.

Industries must prioritize and lead the change to decarbonization,” said Mark Porter, vice president, Transmission Acceleration Group at the Clean Energy Buyers Institute (CEBI) and Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA). “Now is the time for energy customers to leverage market demand to establish low-carbon norms by engaging other industry leaders along the supply chain to truly optimize emissions.”

Industrial materials are the building blocks of modern life; leading companies are preferencing low-carbon inputs for their products. Meanwhile, building materials are the largest source of industrial emissions; corporate leadership matters:

  • Starbucks commits to reduce carbon emissions in its direct operations and supply chain 50% by 2030, including advancing measurement and reductions in embodied and lifecycle carbon for its equipment and building materials. Through the Greener Stores program, it has launched an open-source educational series in the Starbucks Global Academy, created in partnership with Arizona State University, with actions that can be taken to support reductions in carbon, water and waste – including sourcing sustainable materials.
  • TK Elevator understands their responsibility to building owners, property managers and the riding public to create the safest and healthiest elevator systems possible. They have reduced scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by nearly 15% in North America, and are moving aggressively toward a 100% renewable energy goal with a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from business activities by 53% by 2030 and are on track to achieve their zero-carbon future vision well ahead of their 2050 goal.

The clean energy future is being built now; companies are taking action to ensure it is even cleaner:

  • Avangrid, a leading sustainable energy company, has committed to procuring, specifying or stocking 100% net zero steel by 2050 with an interim commitment of 50% by 2030. Domestically, this commitment is being implemented in their most recent requests for proposal (RFPs) for equipment procurement and construction (EPC) and balance of plant (BOP) contractors for their next tranche of projects entering operation before 2025.
  • First Solar, an American solar technology company and the country’s largest manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its ultra-low carbon solar panels by more than 65% by 2028 by going 100% renewable and engaging with key suppliers to minimize the embodied carbon of its solar panel components. The company’s products were the first PV panels in the Global Electronics Council’s (GEC) EPEAT registry for sustainable electronics, which will soon add an ultra-low carbon solar criterion to enable purchasers to identify solar panels with an ultra-low carbon footprint.
  • Lightsource bp’s U. S. team was awarded a 2022 EPEAT ecolabel purchaser’s award by GEC for their commitment to and leadership in sustainability and low carbon procurement. As part of their procurement process, they prioritize sourcing renewable energy equipment and products from domestic sources, with an emphasis on those suppliers who are committed to tracking, reporting and reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The DISC-e program engages leading energy industry organizations to raise awareness about the impact of embodied carbon emissions and provides tools for private sector companies, including the recently released Low-carbon Building Materials Procurement Principles and a suite of low-carbon solar educational materials.

The Industrials and Materials sectors are increasingly active in the Clean Energy Buyers Association’s State of the Market 2022, which looks at all corporate clean energy purchases. More than 42 U.S.-based companies joined the nearly 500 global companies in the sector that have committed to, or set, an approved science-based target through the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) demonstrating the prioritization of carbon-free energy as of April 2022.

About Clean Energy Buyers Institute

The Clean Energy Buyers Institute (CEBI) is a 501c3 public charity that solves the toughest market and policy barriers to achieve a carbon-free energy system. CEBI’s aspiration is to achieve a 90% carbon-free U.S. electricity system by 2030 and a global community of customers driving clean energy. Visit cebi.org for more information.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northeast Energy Center (NEC) and Chart Energy & Chemicals selected Siemens Energy to supply a gas/electric hybrid drive system for NEC’s LNG plant being built in Charlton, Massachusetts. The NEC project will be the first LNG facility in the world to feature a system of this type, which offers a significant advance in efficiency no matter the weather or temperature. Siemens Energy will serve as the single-source supplier of the integrated drive, providing all rotating equipment and associated control systems.


The hybrid drive system will combine a Siemens Energy low-emissions industrial gas turbine, integrally geared compressor, and electric motor-generator to ensure stable and efficient operation of the plant’s main refrigeration/liquefaction train throughout the year while slashing emissions, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency.

Available power from gas turbines decreases as the ambient temperature increases. As a result, units installed at industrial facilities are often oversized to ensure sufficient power during the hot and humid weather. However, the same gas turbine may generate much more power during cold time than is required, leading to reduced efficiency and increased emissions. The hybrid drive refrigeration compressor system being supplied for NEC offers a solution to this problem by combining an electric motor-generator with a gas turbine that features a dry-low emissions (DLE) design with lowest achievable NOx emissions levels. The same system allows NEC an active and powerful tool in demand side management and reduces its costs and the need to purchase power from the grid, while allowing the sale of power back to the utility.

The NEC project is strategically important to the security of energy supply of New England that depends on imported LNG. The NEC facility is expected to produce a baseload of 170,000 gallons of LNG per day for Boston Gas under a firm contract and up to 250,000 gallons per day to other utilities. The gas turbine’s output will decrease when LNG production increases to 250,000 gallons per day on hot summer days when the motor-generator will function as a motor to supply additional power to the compression system.

“The reality is when it comes to facilitating the energy transition, natural gas can be a solution,” said Rich Voorberg, president of Siemens Energy North America. “It will serve as a reliable complement to renewable energy in many regions of the world. The combination of the gas turbine, integrally geared compressor, and motor-generator at the NEC plant represents a highly flexible solution that will enable the liquefaction plant to operate efficiently year-round, regardless of the ambient conditions. This will significantly reduce overall energy consumption over the plant’s life, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.”

“The integrated hybrid drive solution provided by Siemens Energy demonstrates the next step in hybridization of the energy systems in their decarbonization process,” said Boris Brevnov, Manager and Developer of NEC. “Building on this next generation design and its environmental advantages, NEC also offers local utilities a choice of L-RNG, an LNG product made from renewable natural gas.”

The plant has an onsite LNG storage capacity of 2 million gallons. The LNG produced will be available for delivery by truck and used as a feedstock for utility distribution companies and power generation facilities.

Rising climate change concerns and high gas prices led young investors to lean into companies focused on building for a renewable energy future

Investors across generations remain bullish on flagship cryptocurrencies

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apex Fintech Solutions (“Apex”), the fintech for fintechs powering innovation and the future of digital wealth management, today released its Third Quarter 2022 Apex Next Investor Outlook (“Q3 ANIO Report” or the “report”). The report, which analyzes proprietary data of U.S.-based investors who trade through introducing brokers on the Apex Clearing platform as of September 30, 2022, sheds light on the top 100 stocks[1] held by investors across four generations, with a special focus on the millennial and rising Gen Z[2] demographics. The report also includes an analysis of cryptocurrency trading data across the platform. The report is not intended as securities analysis nor as a recommendation to buy or sell any investment and is meant for informational purposes only.


Throughout the third quarter 2022, Gen Z investors turned to renewable energy stocks that focus on mitigating climate change and rising gas prices. Alternative energy companies including Rivian, ChargePoint, Plug Power Inc., and Enphase Energy experienced notable growth. Consistent with the second quarter 2022, stable, income-generating, dividend players such as Costco, Abbvie and Chevron were still widely held, while the top stocks held within the Gen Z top 10 included Tesla, Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

As recession fears increase and geopolitical and environmental concerns are top-of-mind globally, younger investors are increasingly looking to technological innovation to pave the way for a clean energy future. At the same time, investors across generations remain interested in accessing the power of digital assets,” said Connor Coughlin, General Manager, Fintech at Apex Fintech Solutions. “Apex’s data underscores a heightened level of retail engagement as digital trading, wealth technology and financial education platforms continue to democratize access to the financial markets.”

While turbulent crypto market conditions persist, Millennial investors remained bullish on Bitcoin and other flagship cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum. There were approximately 5.2 million crypto-enabled accounts on the Apex Crypto platform in the third quarter, a 6% increase from 4.9 million in the second quarter. Millennials represented 43% of those 5.2 million crypto-enabled accounts, with Gen Z following at 35%, Gen X at 18%, and Boomers at just 4%. Across all generations analyzed, 90% of accounts continued to hold their positions across tokens offered on the Apex Crypto platform.

Overall, the report analyzed nearly 1.4 million Gen Z accounts, in addition to over 6.8 million accounts held by millennials, Gen X and baby boomers owned by investors on the Apex platform, calculated as of September 30, 2022.

Themes in the Apex Q3 Next Investor Outlook include:

  • Renewables Powered Up While Oil Stayed Steady – With rising gas prices in the headlines, Gen Z investors plugged into an array of renewable energy stocks to express their views on the current environment and the future of energy sourcing, amid rising climate change concerns.
    • Beneficiaries of this trend were EV company Rivian, solar company Enphase Energy, EV charging company ChargePoint, and hydrogen fuel cell company Plug Power Inc., who each rose about twenty spots to #35, #43, #56 and #58 respectively.
    • On the other side of the trend, oil and gas companies ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Energy Transfer slightly declined in the rankings to #26, #59, and #72 respectively.

  • Despite Stormy Crypto Headlines, Heavy Buy-Side Crypto Trading Warmed Up – In Q2, negative sentiment and lower asset values put a chill on the cryptocurrency world, and this trend continued through the summer. In Q3, Apex Crypto users placed over 2 million trades, 68% of them buy orders. Millennials had the highest number of buys (674,000); however, the highest percentage of buys were made by Boomers (73%) and Gen X (72%).
    • Gen Z placed 315,000 trades, and 62% were buys
    • Millennial investors placed 992,000 trades, and 68% were buys
    • Gen X placed 673,000 trades, 72% were buys
    • Boomers have placed 122,000 trades, 73% were buys

  • Millennials are Bullish on Bitcoin - Although the price of BTC versus the U.S. dollar slumped more than 50% in Q2, investors continued to buy and hold flagship cryptocurrencies in Q3. Once again, millennials drove bullish behavior on BTC, making up over half (51%) of accounts invested in the asset. Gen X investors made up for 25% of accounts holding BTC, while Gen Z and Boomers made up 19% and 5%, respectively. Here’s a look at the numbers:
    • 63% increase in BTC token held since the beginning of the year
    • 13% growth in BTC token held during Q3
    • 68% of BTC token bought in Q3 were held through the end of the quarter

  • The Long-Awaited Ethereum Merge:
    • The long-awaited merge in Ethereum, and a good bounce of 6-month lows in price have put cryptocurrency tokens back in focus for Gen Z investors, and increasingly Gen X investors.
      • Digital assets technology company Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. jumped to #80 from a previously unranked position.
      • Both Gen Z and Gen X investors showed renewed interest in cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, rising 21 spots to #50 in the Gen Z rankings and 30 spots to #75 in the Gen X rankings.
  • Gen Z’s New Growth Tech Stock Darlings:
    • During this year’s stock market selloff, tech stocks that have been market darlings lost some of their luster. In Q3, upward movement of stocks in the Top 100 suggests that Gen Z investors are starting to pick their new favorites and buying at significant discounts from past highs.
      • DraftKings, Shopify and Coinbase were beneficiaries of this trend and have emerged as Gen Z’s new tech stock favorites. Millennials also showed a particular interest in Shopify. Specifically, DraftKings rose 23 notches to #32, Shopify jumped to #44 from a previously unranked position, and Coinbase rose 21 spots to #50.
      • While new growth tech favorites are surfacing, Gen Z still showed a preference for the “blue chip” crypto tokens (defined in this case as BTC, BCH, LTC and ETH) with 76% of their Q3 trades. Boomers follow with 64%, millennials with 63% and Gen X with 58%.

SILICON SLOPES, Utah & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Domo (Nasdaq: DOMO) and Cosmo Energy Holdings (TSE: 5021) today announced that Cosmo Energy has chosen Domo’s cloud-based platform to accelerate data democratization across the entire business. After a one-month proof of concept (POC), Cosmo found that Domo surpassed expectations, offering a non-traditional BI approach to data implementation with its scalable and flexible data app platform. In addition, Cosmo also saw increased efficiency and alignment between its IT and business departments, leveraging data and Domo to make informed decisions to improve business performance.


As the world shifts away from reliance from fossil fuels to renewable energy, it is necessary for oil companies to find and provide new energy solutions. Cosmo Energy has actively implemented efforts to improve its digital capabilities under its “Full-fledged Digital Transformation (DX)” program. Having established a Corporate DX Strategy department in November 2021, the group is focused on implementing initiatives that improve the company’s digital capabilities and accelerate its data democratization efforts. In July 2022, the organization received the “Digital Transformation (DX) Certified Business” certification by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for its DX initiatives. Cosmo chose Domo to continue these efforts and quickly achieve data democratization across its entire business, enabling all employees to make informed decisions and take data-driven actions.

With over 7000 employees, Cosmo sought a fully integrated yet easy-to-use platform that would keep pace with its business and enable data democratization and utilization for all employees regardless of their technical capabilities. With Domo, anyone in the organization can develop their data skills with the ability to easily view, analyze and collaborate from anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Cosmo and Domo will also develop a full training program for all Cosmo employees to quickly advance its goals.

Noriko Rzonca, Chief Digital Officer at Cosmo Energy Holdings, commented, “We started the BI process in reverse to accelerate our data democratization. By starting with visualizing our questions, rather than focusing on intensive data preparation -- which the Domo platform easily handles -- we were able to eliminate the rework and redevelopment that occurs with other traditional BI tools. I believe this was made possible because of Domo’s unique all-in-one platform and I am looking forward to implementing our training program to achieve our data democratization goals in a short amount of time.”

We are honored that Cosmo is entrusting Domo to fully support its company-wide digital initiatives,” said John Mellor, Domo’s CEO. “We are committed to their success and believe that our focus on delivering speed-to-value, from the line of business decision maker to executives, will help Cosmo maximize the impact of their business data.”

Domo K.K.’s President and Japan Country Manager Tom Kawasaki also commented, “We are grateful that Cosmo has chosen Domo, which goes beyond traditional BI, to enhance company-wide data utilization and democratization. In addition to the company-wide deployment of the Domo platform, I recognize the importance of empowering data literacy for all employees and fostering data experts who will play key role in the company’s DX initiatives, for which Domo will continue to offer our complete support.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE: KMI) board of directors today approved a cash dividend of $0.2775 per share for the third quarter ($1.11 annualized), payable on November 15, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2022. This dividend is a 3% increase over the third quarter of 2021.

The company is reporting third quarter net income attributable to KMI of $576 million, compared to net income attributable to KMI of $495 million in the third quarter of 2021; and distributable cash flow (DCF) of $1,122 million, compared to $1,013 million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted Earnings were $575 million for the quarter, versus $505 million in the third quarter of 2021.

“As we continue to witness the tragic consequences of the war in Ukraine, including global economic turbulence and volatility, our company and the U.S. energy sector as a whole can take some measure of pride in continuing to provide both our citizens and those around the world with natural gas, refined products and crude oil,” said Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder. “The great work of more than 10,000 Kinder Morgan employees has contributed to another strong quarter, as we generated robust earnings and strong coverage of this quarter’s dividend. As always, the company remains steadfast in our long-standing goals: to maintain a strong investment-grade balance sheet, internally fund expansion opportunities, pay an attractive and growing dividend, and further reward our shareholders by repurchasing our shares on an opportunistic basis.”

“The company continues to perform better than budget, well above DCF plan for the quarter,” said Chief Executive Officer Steve Kean. “Our Natural Gas Pipelines segment continues to see strong demand for the extensive firm transport and storage services we offer, as well as favorable contract renewals on multiple assets across our network. We are also moving forward with projects to provide additional transport capacity to liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and remain focused on continuing to be the provider of choice for that growing market. Given the proximity of our existing assets to planned LNG expansions, we expect to maintain and potentially expand on our approximately 50% share of transport capacity to LNG export facilities.

“Domestically, we are seeing the market highly value our 700 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of working natural gas storage capacity,” continued Kean. “Our customers are increasingly recognizing the role storage must play in an energy system that requires flexible deliverability as the contribution from intermittent renewable sources continues to grow in the power sector.

“There is simply no question that the assets we operate and the services we provide will be needed for a long time to come. Similarly, it is indisputable that a lengthy transition to greater deployment of low carbon energy sources is underway — and we are responding to that. As we look ahead, roughly 80% of our project backlog is in lower-carbon energy services, including natural gas, renewable natural gas, renewable diesel and feedstocks associated with renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel,” Kean concluded.

“Our financial performance during the quarter was strong, as we generated earnings per share of $0.25 and DCF per share of $0.49,” said KMI President Kim Dang. “Earnings per share for the quarter were up 14% and DCF per share was up 11% as compared to the third quarter of 2021, and DCF per share was also up 7% versus budget. We generated $492 million of excess DCF above our declared dividend during the quarter.

“During the quarter, we took several steps to increase value for our shareholders, including progressing expansion projects and selling a 25.5% equity interest in Elba Liquefaction Company, L.L.C. (ELC) for approximately $565 million, which implies an approximately 13 times enterprise value to EBITDA multiple,” continued Dang. “We used those proceeds to reduce short-term debt and create additional capacity for attractive investments, including opportunistic share repurchases. Regarding share repurchases, year-to-date through October 18 we have repurchased approximately 21.7 million shares at an average price of $16.94 per share.”

For the first nine months of 2022, the company reported net income attributable to KMI of $1,878 million, compared to $1,147 million for the first nine months of 2021 and DCF of $3,753 million, down 14% from $4,367 million for the comparable period in 2021. Net income is up in 2022 in part due to a non-cash impairment charge taken in 2021. The DCF decrease compared to the prior period is due primarily to nonrecurring earnings during the February 2021 winter storm. Without the Uri impact, DCF for the first nine months is up 15% versus the prior year period.

2022 Outlook

For 2022, KMI budgeted to generate net income attributable to KMI of $2.5 billion and declare dividends of $1.11 per share, a 3% increase from the dividends declared for 2021. The company also budgeted to generate 2022 DCF of $4.7 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 billion and to end 2022 with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.3 times. KMI now expects net income attributable to KMI to be favorable to budget by approximately 3% and Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to be favorable to budget by approximately 4%-5%. Net income is impacted by unsettled hedges, which we treat as Certain Items.

Overview of Business Segments

“The Natural Gas Pipelines segment’s financial performance was up in the third quarter of 2022 relative to the third quarter of 2021, primarily on increased volumes on our KinderHawk gathering system; continued strong demand for transport and storage services on Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, Southern Natural Gas (SNG) and Midcontinent Express Pipeline; higher contributions from our Texas Intrastate system; and favorable pricing on the Altamont gathering system,” said Dang.

Natural gas transport volumes were flat compared to the third quarter of 2021, with declines on the Texas Intrastate system primarily due to the Freeport LNG terminal outage, on El Paso Natural Gas due to a partial pipeline outage, and on CIG and Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline due to continued declining production in the Rockies basins. These declines were partially offset by increases on Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline and Elba Express due to increased deliveries to LNG customers and on SNG due to higher demand from power generation customers. Natural gas gathering volumes were up 13% from the third quarter of 2021 with higher volumes primarily on KinderHawk (which serves the Haynesville shale).

“Contributions from the Products Pipelines segment were down compared to the third quarter of 2021 due to a decline in commodity prices that impacted inventory values on our transmix and crude and condensate assets,” Dang said. “Total refined products volumes were down 2%, while crude and condensate pipeline volumes were down 5% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Gasoline volumes were below the comparable period last year by 3% and diesel volumes were down 5%. Jet fuel volumes continued their strong rebound, up 11% versus the third quarter of 2021. These impacts were partially offset by higher average rates as well as increased volumes through our petroleum condensate processing facility in the Houston Ship Channel.

Terminals segment earnings were up compared to the third quarter of 2021, driven by gains in our bulk business, which benefited from continued strength in both handling rates and volumes for export coal and petroleum coke. In our liquids business, while volumes at our refined product hub facilities were up versus the prior year period, increased property taxes and weakness at our New York Harbor hub contributed to lower earnings year-over-year,” continued Dang. “In our Jones Act tanker business, where fundamentals continue to improve, the benefit from higher fleet utilization was more than offset by lower average charter rates compared to the third quarter of 2021 as vessels were previously recontracted into a lower, albeit significantly improving, rate environment. Notably, average charter rates and earnings improved this quarter versus the second quarter of 2022.

CO2 segment earnings were well up compared to the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher realized crude, natural gas liquids (NGL) and CO2 prices. Our realized weighted average crude oil price for the quarter was up 25% at $66.34 per barrel, while our weighted average NGL price for the quarter was up 35% from the third quarter of 2021 at $37.68 per barrel, and CO2 prices were up $0.39 or 33%,” said Dang. “Third quarter 2022 combined net oil production across our fields was 7% above plan but down 3% compared to the same period in 2021. NGL sales volumes net to KMI were up 1% versus the third quarter of 2021, while CO2 sales volumes were down 11% on a net to KMI basis compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to the expiration of a carried interest following payout on a project in 2021.”

PHP is jointly owned by subsidiaries of KMI, Kinetik Holdings Inc. and ExxonMobil Corporation. Kinder Morgan is the operator of PHP.
  • On September 27, 2022, KMI announced that it had closed on the sale of a 25.5% equity interest in ELC to an undisclosed financial buyer for approximately $565 million. The proceeds from this transaction were used to reduce short-term debt and create additional capacity for attractive investments, including opportunistic share repurchases. As a result of this transaction, KMI and the undisclosed financial buyer each hold a 25.5% interest and Blackstone Credit continues to hold a 49% interest in ELC. The ELC joint venture was formed in 2017 to construct and own the 10 modular liquefaction units in operation at Elba Island. KMI will continue to operate the facility.
  • On July 22, 2022, Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for its proposed Cumberland Project. Designed to support Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) proposed retirement and replacement of an existing coal-fired power plant with a natural gas fired, combined cycle power plant, the approximately $181 million project includes a new 32-mile pipeline that will transport approximately 245 MMcf/d of natural gas from the existing TGP system to TVA’s proposed 1,450 megawatt generation facility at an existing site in Cumberland, Tennessee. This project is subject to the completion of TVA’s environmental reviews and final executive approval of its retirement and replacement project. Additionally, pending the receipt of all required permits and clearances, construction is scheduled to begin in August 2024, with an expected in-service date of September 1, 2025.

Products Pipelines

  • KMI’s Southern California renewable diesel hub is on target to be fully in service in the first quarter of 2023. The Southern California hub will connect marine and other delivered renewable diesel supplies in the Los Angeles harbor area to the Colton and San Diego areas via KMI’s SFPP pipeline. San Diego is on track to be commissioned in November 2022, with Colton to follow. At Colton, the project will allow customers to deliver renewable diesel for blending with regular diesel and biodiesel for multiple concentrations of renewable fuel at our truck racks. The Southern California renewable diesel hub will accommodate, in aggregate, up to 20,000 barrels per day of blended diesel throughput across the two inland destination truck racks. This project is anchored by customer commitments.
  • With respect to KMI’s planned Northern California renewable diesel hub, due to permitting challenges associated with rail, KMI has reconfigured the project to deliver renewable diesel by pipe to multiple locations in Northern California. Targeting the same first quarter of 2023 in-service as the rail project, KMI has identified the ability to move an aggregate of 20,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel on its northern pipeline system from Concord to the Bradshaw, San Jose, and Fresno markets. This project will capitalize on existing infrastructure to allow for a first quarter in-service, with potential capacity expandability available in subsequent phases. KMI is in the process of securing the necessary customer commitments to complete this transition.
  • KMI continues construction work at its Carson Terminal to connect marine supplies of renewable diesel coming into its Los Angeles harbor hub to its truck rack for delivery of unblended renewable diesel to local markets. This project is on track to be in service in December 2022.

Terminals

  • Tank conversion work continues on the initial phase of the renewable feedstock storage and logistics hub under development at KMI’s Harvey, Louisiana facility. Upon completion of the project, the facility will serve as a hub in the United States where Neste, a leading provider of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, will store a variety of regionally sourced feedstocks such as used cooking oil. Project scope additions, including for enhanced modal capabilities, have contributed to an upward revision in the expected project cost, which now stands at approximately $80 million. The project, which will produce an attractive return, is supported by a long-term commercial commitment from Neste. It remains on schedule and is expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Field work continues on a previously-announced project that will significantly reduce the emissions profile of KMI’s refined products terminal hub along the Houston Ship Channel. The approximately $64 million investment will address emissions related to product handling activities at KMI’s Galena Park and Pasadena terminals and will generate an attractive return on invested capital. The expected Scope 1 & 2 CO2 equivalent emissions reduction across the combined facilities is approximately 34,000 metric tons per year or a 38% reduction in total facility GHG emissions versus 2019 (pre-pandemic). The project is expected to be in service by the third quarter of 2023.

Energy Transition Ventures

  • On August 11, 2022, KMI closed on the acquisition of North American Natural Resources, Inc. and its sister companies, North American Biofuels, LLC and North American-Central, LLC (NANR). The $135 million acquisition includes seven landfill gas-to-power facilities in Michigan and Kentucky. KMI has made a final investment decision (FID) on the conversion of three of the seven to renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities with a capital spend of approximately $145 million. These facilities are expected to be in service by mid-2024 and, once complete, are expected to generate approximately 1.7 Bcf per year of RNG. The remaining four NANR assets, projected to produce 8.0 megawatt-hours in 2023, further diversify KMI’s renewable portfolio by adding electricity generation to its landfill gas-to-power operations.
  • Construction is ongoing at the Twin Bridges, Prairie View and Liberty Landfills, the three sites comprising Kinetrex Energy’s approximately $150 million landfill-based renewable natural gas (RNG) projects in Indiana. The sites are expected to be placed in service throughout 2023 and KMI will begin monetizing renewable identification numbers (RINs) from the first of the new plants in the first quarter of 2023. These projects will add approximately 3.5 Bcf to KMI’s total annual RNG gross production upon completion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures of Adjusted Earnings and distributable cash flow (DCF), both in the aggregate and per share for each; segment earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), amortization of excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted Segment EBDA); net income before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, amortization of excess cost of equity investments and Certain Items (Adjusted EBITDA); Net Debt; Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA; and Free Cash Flow (FCF).

For reconciliations of budgeted DCF and budgeted Adjusted EBITDA to budgeted net income attributable to KMI for 2022, please refer to Table 9 and Table 10 included in KMI’s press release dated April 20, 2022.

Our non-GAAP financial measures described below should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. or other GAAP measures and have important limitations as analytical tools. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures by reviewing our comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and taking this information into account in its analysis and its decision-making processes.

Certain Items, as adjustments used to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, are items that are required by GAAP to be reflected in net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc., but typically either (1) do not have a cash impact (for example, unsettled commodity hedges and asset impairments), or (2) by their nature are separately identifiable from our normal business operations and in our view are likely to occur only sporadically (for example, certain legal settlements, enactment of new tax legislation and casualty losses). We also include adjustments related to joint ventures (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below and the accompanying Tables 4 and 7).

Adjusted Earnings is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items. Adjusted Earnings is used by us and certain external users of our financial statements to assess the earnings of our business excluding Certain Items as another reflection of our ability to generate earnings. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Earnings is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. Adjusted Earnings per share uses Adjusted Earnings and applies the same two-class method used in arriving at basic earnings per share. (See the accompanying Tables 1 and 2.)

DCF is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. for Certain Items (Adjusted Earnings), and further by DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity investments, income tax expense, cash taxes, sustaining capital expenditures and other items. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes, DD&A and sustaining capital expenditures (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below). DCF is a significant performance measure useful to management and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our performance and in measuring and estimating the ability of our assets to generate cash earnings after servicing our debt, paying cash taxes and expending sustaining capital, that could be used for discretionary purposes such as dividends, stock repurchases, retirement of debt, or expansion capital expenditures. DCF should not be used as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to DCF is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. DCF per share is DCF divided by average outstanding shares, including restricted stock awards that participate in dividends. (See the accompanying Tables 2 and 3.)

Adjusted Segment EBDA is calculated by adjusting segment earnings before DD&A and amortization of excess cost of equity investments (Segment EBDA) for Certain Items attributable to the segment. Adjusted Segment EBDA is used by management in its analysis of segment performance and management of our business. General and administrative expenses and certain corporate charges are generally not under the control of our segment operating managers, and therefore, are not included when we measure business segment operating performance. We believe Adjusted Segment EBDA is a useful performance metric because it provides management and external users of our financial statements additional insight into the ability of our segments to generate cash earnings on an ongoing basis. We believe it is useful to investors because it is a measure that management uses to allocate resources to our segments and assess each segment’s performance. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Segment EBDA is Segment EBDA. (See the accompanying Tables 3 and 7.)

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, and amortization of excess cost of equity investments (EBITDA) for Certain Items. We also include amounts from joint ventures for income taxes and DD&A (see “Amounts from Joint Ventures” below). Adjusted EBITDA is used by management and external users, in conjunction with our Net Debt (as described further below), to evaluate certain leverage metrics. Therefore, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors. We believe the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. (See the accompanying Tables 3 and 4.)

  •  The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act includes a collection of policies designed to increase sustainable energy production through the use of tax incentives.
  • While this policy vastly increases the financial viability of many projects, engineers still need a way to integrate these savings with their design and optimize around savings related to the incentives program.
  • Xendee platform now offers tools to apply these incentives directly to the technologies during the modeling process.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#distributedenergy--Xendee, a provider of renewable project and microgrid design and decision support software, has launched a series of new features that integrate the latest tax incentives from the new Inflation Reduction Act directly into its platform. This allows engineers to quickly integrate the benefits of these policies with their projects and see the effects on overall costs or determine the capabilities associated with increased expenditure. This will mean that many more projects can become financially viable and will vastly increase investment in microgrids, especially as outages become more common and energy prices continue to rise.


“These new features allow engineers to proactively design and optimize their energy project based on the real value streams and incentives that are available,” said Zack Pecenak, Lead Engineer at Xendee. “Instead of just adding these savings in later as a line item, this allows Xendee to plan and optimize the system around the new tax incentives. This creates both a more accurate view of project financials and allows Xendee to optimize the projects in light of the incentives. For instance, the applied tax credit may change which technologies are chosen or how they are sized or placed.”

To implement tax savings in the Xendee platform, users are now provided with an extended widget for each applicable technology. From here, users can elect to implement the tax savings and even select the incentive they would like to apply. For instance, the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a 30% credit that can be applied to both residential and commercial solar PV installations. This is a flat rate and had been set to reduce to a mere 6% before the passing of this bill. Alternatively, engineers can also elect to utilize the Production Tax Credit, wherein they will be paid tax incentives based on their production. Xendee allows the modeling of both systems as well as the capabilities to analyze each and determine which solution would be more beneficial to the project.

Additionally, the new features also apply to the modeling of green hydrogen within Xendee. Modeling hydrogen production, storage, and use within Xendee already exists as a module; however, engineers are now able to take advantage of and associate the $3 tax credit per kilogram of green hydrogen produced, making this opportunity attractive to several facilities.

“Xendee’s new tax incentive features give decision makers an opportunity to consider sustainable technologies that may have earlier been financially unattractive or completely out of the scope of the project,” said Michael Stadler, co-founder and CTO of Xendee. “For instance, with the incentives for hydrogen production, a facility that never would have considered it might become a net exporter of hydrogen or even use it to power their own fleet of vehicles.”
