DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE: LBRT; “Liberty” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized the reinstatement of a quarterly cash dividend. The Board has declared a dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock, to be paid on December 20, 2022 to holders of record as of December 6, 2022. A distribution of $0.05 per unit has been approved for holders of units in Liberty Oilfield Services New HoldCo LLC, which will use the same record and payment date.


Liberty previously announced that its Board authorized on July 25, 2022, a share repurchase program that allows the company to repurchase up to $250 million of outstanding common stock through July 31, 2024. The program commenced during the third quarter and the Company has repurchased and retired 4,702,166 shares of Class A common stock, representing 2.5% of outstanding shares, for approximately $70 million at an average per share price of $14.89 through September 30, 2022.

SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CHINT, a smart energy solution provider from China, unveiled a new innovation lab in September, 2022, aiming to better support APAC regional industry partners.



The opening ceremony of the Innovation Lab was attended by Ms. Low Yen Ling, the Singaporean Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry, and Ms. Sun Haiyan, Ambassador Extraordinary, and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Republic of Singapore.

The Lab covers more than 400 square meters in CHINT’s APAC regional headquarters in Aperia Tower 1 in Kallang, and showcases solutions in fields ranging from new energy and power distribution to data centers and industry.

Johnson Luu, Marketing Director APAC at CHINT Global, noted the Lab will “provide solutions to meet the growing demands for renewable energy and sustainable development as well as digital transformation, which are all key topics for today and the future.”

With the global headquarters in Shanghai, CHINT Global operates in more than 140 countries and regions around the world. Having been an active player in the Singaporean market for one decade, CHINT Global is a qualified power distribution cabinet (circuit breaker) supplier recognized by the Singapore Housing & Development Board (HDB).

In Asia Pacific, CHINT has been operating for more than 20 years, covering nearly 30 countries, and currently has more than 100 employees, among which foreign employees account for more than 75%.

CHINT Global also acquired Sunlight Electrical, a long-established local manufacturer of electrical distribution products, which has factories in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Last year, CHINT relocated its APAC regional headquarters from Hong Kong to Singapore.

In the interview with LIANHE ZAOBAO, Lily Zhang, CEO of CHINT Electrics, described the establishment of the APAC regional headquarters in Singapore as a natural move, for as early as in 2020 when CHINT laid down its five-year plan, Singapore was already the planned APAC regional headquarters.

CHINT’s Global Footprint

Asia-Pacific: third-largest market

Ms. Lily Zhang, CEO of CHINT Electrics, revealed Asia-Pacific ranks as CHINT’s third-largest market globally, after Europe and the Middle East, leaving plenty of room for business growth that the local team will endeavor to unlock.

CHINT selected Singapore as the location of its APAC regional headquarters due to its “especially attractive” transparency and high efficiency, as well as the country’s diversity, inclusiveness and openness that create an ideal environment for business, according to Zhang.

Although a small city-state, Singapore serves as a gateway to the “infinity of a larger market”, said Zhang. “We see Singapore as the window to the whole Southeast Asia region, and the center of ASEAN. It can have such a strong influence.”

CHINT is looking to recruit engineering talents with leadership and teamwork qualities to fill managing director and director roles in Singapore, according to Zhang, who did not disclose how many staff will be hired.

Zhang said the Singapore Green Plan 2030 launched last year by the government as the blueprint for sustainable development brings opportunities to CHINT, as the company’s strategies for decarbonization, digitization and distributed energy align with government policies.

For example, CHINT’s smart manufacturing line for mini-breakers, capable of producing 3 million units every day for the global market, is in tandem with Singapore’s goal of promoting smart manufacturing. CHINT also participated in the SolarNova program led by the HDB and the Economic Development Board (EDB) that enables HDB flats to adopt solar photovoltaic systems.

Zhang revealed CHINT is in the final stages of acquiring a distribution channel-related company in Malaysia. In addition to acquisitions, CHINT is also considering joint ventures and innovative company incubations.

America’s Largest Shipbuilder and Global Defense Technology Provider – HII – Joins Growing Roster of Defense Tech Firms Operating in National Landing

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JBG SMITH (NYSE: JBGS), a leading owner and developer of high-quality, mixed-use properties in the Washington, DC market, announced today that it has completed a new, 36,809-square-foot lease with HII (NYSE: HII) at 2451 Crystal Drive in National Landing.



For Virginia-based HII, one of the state’s largest employers, the move maintains proximity to the company’s largest customer, the U.S. Navy. It also improves access to HII’s expanded customer set across the U.S. Department of Defense, and enhances the company’s overall national capital region presence. HII’s shipbuilding divisions are responsible for the majority of the U.S. Navy fleet; HII also builds and delivers all-domain defense technology solutions in growth markets such as unmanned systems and autonomy, big data, AI/ML, cyber, and LVC solutions.

As part of its 11.5-year lease, HII will now occupy space minutes from the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport. HII will move into the space in late summer 2023, and will have signage rights to the 11-story office tower. The company remains headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, and will maintain company office space next to the Navy Yard.

Since April 2020, JBG SMITH has secured over 1.4 million square feet of new leases and extensions with federal agencies and government contractors in National Landing. HII joins the growing roster of defense-adjacent companies with major presences in the region, including Boeing and Raytheon, both of which are establishing their global headquarters in the National Landing area.

“We’re pleased to welcome HII to National Landing,” said David Ritchey, Executive Vice President, Commercial Leasing and Asset Management of JBG SMITH. “They join an impressive array of leading innovators in the defense industry that have been drawn to National Landing’s proximity to the Pentagon and the Department of Defense, as well as the full suite of digital amenities we are introducing throughout the community.”

JBG SMITH is developing a first-of-its-kind converged digital infrastructure platform in National Landing that includes a dense neighborhood fiber network, edge data centers, ubiquitous indoor and outdoor public 5G via a partnership with AT&T and highly valuable private 5G networks deployed by Federated Wireless. To accelerate the development of National Landing into a world-class innovation district, in 2020, JBG SMITH acquired licensed CBRS Spectrum from the FCC that covers all of Arlington County and the City of Alexandria.

2451 Crystal Drive sits within a five-building office campus that offers direct access to multiple Metro stations, Richmond Highway, GW Parkway, the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and the forthcoming CC2DCA pedestrian bridge to Reagan National Airport. The building features a repositioned lobby and renovated fitness center.

HII was represented by Adam Schindler and Perry Frazer of Colliers International. JBG SMITH was represented in-house by Andrea Murray, Senior Vice President, and Connor Stewart, Associate.

About JBG SMITH

JBG SMITH owns, operates, invests in and develops a dynamic portfolio of mixed-use properties in the high growth and high barrier-to-entry submarkets in and around Washington, DC. Through an intense focus on placemaking, JBG SMITH cultivates vibrant, amenity-rich, walkable neighborhoods throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Over half of JBG SMITH’s holdings are in the National Landing submarket in Northern Virginia, where it serves as the developer for Amazon’s new headquarters, and where Virginia Tech’s $1 billion Innovation Campus is under construction. JBG SMITH's portfolio currently comprises 15.5 million square feet of high-growth office, multifamily and retail assets at share, 98% of which are metro-served. It also maintains a development pipeline encompassing 9.8 million square feet of mixed-use development opportunities.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lodbrok Capital LLP, one of the largest shareholders in REC Silicon ASA, issued the following letter in response to the statement made on 14 October 2022 by the REC board:


REC Silicon ASA (“REC”)
Fornebuveien 84
PO Box 63
1324 Lysaker
Norway

Attn: The Directors of the Board

RESPONSE TO THE BOARD’S STATEMENT DATED 14 OCTOBER 2022
Capitalised terms will have the same meaning as the letter dated 10 October 2022 (“the Lodbrok Letter”)

17 October 2022

Dear directors,

Funds and accounts managed or advised by Lodbrok Capital LLP (“Lodbrok”) at the time of this letter now own just over 3% of the shares in REC (OSE: RECSI) – making Lodbrok the largest shareholder in the company outside Hanwha based on VPS share registers – and still hold close to 20% of the 2023 senior secured bond. As mentioned in the Lodbrok Letter, we have been invested in REC since our inception in 2017 and have supported the company through difficult times in the past. We believe the current situation again warrants active involvement by Lodbrok in our capacity as a meaningful stakeholder.

We note with disappointment that your response on 14 October 2022 does not contain any concrete actions to ameliorate the concerns outlined in the Lodbrok Letter. Your response detailed the qualifications and expertise of the new CEO and the proposed directors, but failed to address the crux of the issue, being the potential conflicts of interests in Hanwha effectively hand picking a new CEO and CFO (the latter joining directly from Hanwha) and occupying an effective control of the REC board during a time where Hanwha is negotiating a potentially company-defining contract with REC.

Since the Lodbrok Letter, we highlight the following developments:

  1. Lodbrok has, at the time of this letter, increased its holdings to just over 3% of the issued shares
  2. A significant number of shareholders in REC have reached out to us in sympathy of our concerns
  3. Certain current and potential customers of REC have – on an unsolicited basis via advisors – indicated interest in speaking to Lodbrok, which may suggest that the concerns transcend the shareholder base into the wider value chain of companies that have an interest in the important products manufactured by REC

Absent direct engagement from the board or Hanwha on concrete steps to address the suggestions in the Lodbrok Letter, we will reject all the EGM proposals and consider options that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Increasing our holdings or aligning with other shareholders to be able to summon another general meeting with an agenda that addresses the governance concerns we have outlined, for which we believe a majority of the shareholders will be aligned with Lodbrok
  • Proposing an independent investigation of any related party matters, which if supported by a qualified majority of votes will enable a Norwegian court to force an investigation at the company’s expense

Either a) postponing the EGM to identify an additional board candidate – independent or from a non-Hanwha shareholder (group) – or b) Hanwha proposing and supporting the election of such a candidate at the EGM, would be an important step in recognising our concerns. Lodbrok remains available for any engagement on such matters.

We strongly believe it will be in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to ensure optimal governance in the current situation, and Hanwha holds the key to easily accommodate the concerns raised in cooperation with Lodbrok. A continued conflict on the governance matter will have the potential to damage shareholder value.

We strongly encourage all shareholders to consider the concerns we have expressed and vote at the EGM.

With Tradenergy, short-term energy traders, asset owners, and market analysts gain access to the same real-time monitoring and forecasting used by grid operators in the control room.


LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reactive Technologies, the grid resilience technology company that provides the world’s most accurate measurements of grid inertia and other power grid functions, has today launched Tradenergy®. This patented software tool provides short-term energy traders with real-time insights into grid events such as generation or interconnector trips. By streamlining energy traders’ ability to rapidly match electricity supply to demand, Tradenergy helps maintain the resilience and reliability of power grid operations.

“For the past five years, we have been working on perfecting a technology that would enable other stakeholders in addition to grid operators to benefit from grid insights,” Marc Borrett, CEO and Co-founder of Reactive Technologies, said. “Built on the foundation of our first-of-its-kind grid insight product Grid-Sonar™, Tradenergy facilitates more efficient transactions on short-term electricity markets that help ensure grid stability – an increasingly important benefit as grids integrate more diverse, lower-carbon energy assets.”

On a power grid, inertia is naturally produced by turbines and motors in fossil fuel generators that are synchronized to the same frequency. Grid inertia provides an extra boost of energy that can temporarily keep power flowing through a grid after a generator stops working.

Tradenergy grid inertia forecasting and monitoring provides insight on overall grid state and potential need for stabilizing actions. By tapping into the power of Reactive Technologies’ patented Grid-Sonar™ technology, Tradenergy users obtain high-speed, locational grid alerts. Additionally, probabilistic balancing market (BM) forecasts offer actual BM volumes broken down by fuel type–combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT), wind, coal, and pumped storage.

The benefits of Tradenergy include:

  • Real-time Grid Insights: High-speed notification of locational grid events such as power station and interconnector trips.
  • Inertia Forecasting: Forecasting periods of low inertia allow asset owners and optimizers to make their assets available to grid operators when needed to help stabilize the system.
  • Balancing Mechanism Forecasting: Insight on expected grid constraint-driven market activity.

As Europe heads into a challenging winter as predicted by the National Grid ESO, increased sensitivity to interconnector availability will become more prominent across the continent. For example, Great Britain has already shifted from an importer to a net exporter of electricity to Europe this year. This is driven by international gas shortages and reduced availability of French nuclear power. In early September, Tradenergy enabled visibility to a failure on one of the interconnectors between the UK and France. This resulted in a near-instantaneous loss of 1GW of export from the UK to France and the grid frequency increasing above National Grid's operational limits to 50.25Hz. With the support of batteries providing fast responding frequency services such as Dynamic Containment (DC) introduced by National Grid to ensure the lights can be kept on with lower levels of inertia on the grid, the system was returned to operational limits within four minutes with no disruption to end consumers. However, electricity imports and exports between the UK and Europe were disrupted for several hours, resulting in price movements of over 20% in the UK and impacting multiple European markets. Real-time grid insights provided by Tradenergy will allow market participants to react quickly to similar events and keep the power flowing to where it is most needed this winter.

Tradenergy is one of the solutions offered by Reactive Technologies that deliver operational visibility and accurate measurements of electrical grids in real time, helping accelerate the transition to zero carbon energy systems worldwide.

Reactive is currently offering online demonstrations of Tradenergy to energy traders and other stakeholders looking to gain grid insights and competitive advantage. Interested parties and can visit Reactive’s website to sign up.

About Reactive Technologies:

Reactive Technologies is a grid resilience technology company helping grid operators, electric utilities, and regulators transition to net zero and ensure resilient renewables-based power grids. Reactive’s products, including the first-of-its-kind Grid-Sonar™ technology, bring unprecedented transparency to grid operations by measuring grid inertia and other functions with a high degree of accuracy–a vast improvement over the projections and estimates they are replacing. Reactive has worked with some of the most advanced electric utilities in the world and consistently delivers accurate grid data that informs better planning, full utilization of electricity supplies, and cost savings while enabling an accelerated transition to clean energy. Reactive is backed by several of the world’s leading climate tech venture and management firms, including BGF, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Eaton, and Accenture Ventures. Reactive Technologies is a 2022 Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneers winner.

OEMs seek greater performance in efficiency as they move to become "all-electric"

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electric vehicles face consumer concerns over “range anxiety” and “charge anxiety” with auto makers responding by integrating components further, using advancements in power electronics to raise powertrain efficiency and using 800 Volt+ electrical networks to shorten charging times. Silicon carbide (SiC) is among many wide bandgap technologies being adopted to enhance efficiency in switching power to drive electric motors, receiving charge through on-board chargers and converting direct current. These are some of the developments covered in the Strategy Analytics’ Electric Vehicle Service (EVS) reports: Electric Vehicle Power Electronics: Increasing Use of 800 Volts, Integrated Designs and Silicon Carbide.


“As auto makers adjust their businesses to become “all-electric,” the competition among them intensifies,” says Kevin Mak, principal analyst in the Global Automotive Practice (GAP). “Wide bandgap technologies, such as silicon carbide, enable motor inverters to run at higher junction temperatures and so reduce their thermal management requirements. Raising the performance in power switching leads to smaller inverters enabling electric traction motors to spin faster and raise torque output providing an improvement in battery electric powertrain performance. Wide bandgap technologies also allow components to become smaller, which translates to size, weight and power improvements to the powertrain while also allowing more flexibility to integrate systems. 800 Volt technology also enables auto makers to use lighter cabling and to draw power more quickly than using lower voltages.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Syngas & Derivatives Market By Production Technology, By Gasifier Type Bed Gasifier, Fluidized Bed Gasifier, Others, By Feedstock, By Application, By Chemical Derivatives, By Consumption, By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2017-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


Global Syngas & Derivatives Market stood at USD248.89 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.27% during the forecast period due to increasing use of syngas in chemical industry and syngas' use as a clean alternative to fossil fuel.

Synthesis gas is a catch-all name for unprocessed gas made from hydrocarbon feedstocks, with primary constituents being hydrogen and carbon monoxide and secondary constituents being CO2, methane, etc. Syngas is a necessary step in the production of gasoline, chemicals, and fertilizers.

Examples of important derivatives include methanol, ammonia, high-speed diesel, polymers, etc. It is an intermediate product that can be further processed in several ways to yield various energy outputs, including electricity and high-quality gaseous or liquid fuels that can be used as transportation fuels.

Government Inclination Towards Syngas

The governments of different nations are adopting several actions to reduce greenhouse gases, which are one of the key reasons behind global warming. The Indian government recently gave instructions to Coal India Ltd (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. (SCCL) to add a new subsector regarding the auction of coal linkages to the Non-Regulated Sector and to establish a separate auction window for the allocation of coal linkages to coal gasification projects. The Coal Block Allocation Rules, 2017 of India have already designated the production of syngas as one of the end-use sectors.

Mergers and Acquisitions in Asia-Pacific

To enhance their market share, companies in the global syngas and derivatives industry are investing in inorganic growth techniques. For instance, in order to build, own, and operate a successful coal-to-syngas processing facility in Jiangsu Province, China, Air Products and Debang Xinghua Technology Co. Ltd. established a joint venture (JV) in 2019.

Air Products owns 80% of the JV, which has its headquarters in Lianyungang City's Xuwei National Petrochemical Park, and the Debang Group owns 20%. Leigh Creek Energy, another firm, secured USD18 million in funding in 2021 for a project in South Australia to generate syngas and electricity. Similarly, in 2019 Geismar, Louisiana, US-based Praxair, a wholly owned subsidiary of Linde PLC, opened a syngas plant.

Research on Syngas Fermentation using Bibliometrics

Carbon cycling and valorization can be replaced by syngas fermentation, which uses microorganisms to convert H2, CO, and CO2 into acids and alcohols. An evaluation of the intellectual landscape of the subject is done using a bibliometric study and a search query (SQ) that covers all essential papers on syngas fermentation.

The SQ is validated using a preliminary bibliometric analysis and a review of the titles and abstracts of all sources. Research on syngas fermentation is currently receiving a lot of attention since it intends to boost microorganism productivity by changing their metabolism and enhancing the bioreactor's working environment.

European and American Gasification Trends

According to the terms of a contract signed on July 23, 2020, NextChem and US carbon recycling company LanzaTech have been granted licences to use the "Waste to Ethanol" syngas fermentation process line. In a similar vein, a waste gasification facility with a 1.5 MW pressurised fluidized bed started producing clean syngas in Birmingham, United Kingdom, in 2020.

This syngas can be used to produce power, heat, hydrogen, and liquid biofuels. In order to demonstrate integrated gasification and pyrolysis at a CHP plant, BioShare, a Swedish firm, recently obtained funding (USD1.72 million, 2020-2024).
