Additional Resources Arrive as Company Expects an Additional 10% Growth in 2023
DELAFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EX--Evans Transportation Services Inc. today announced it has closed a new credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. The new larger credit facility will serve as a vehicle for supporting the company’s current growth trajectory, which includes a revenue increase from $80 million to $400 million since 2018. Officials said newly expanded resources add support for Evans’ scalable growth, while allowing the company to return meaningful value to its client-carriers.
“This new credit facility couldn’t come at a better time, as we expect our current business to expand by, at minimum, an additional 10% in 2023,” said Evans’ CEO Ryan Keepman. “A significant increase to our credit capacity allows us to remain focused on our plans, while investing more into the company and its greatest asset—our employees. By investing in the best possible experience for both our customers and team members, we’re setting an industry standard no one else can match. That’s what the Evans Experience is all about.”
The selection of PNC follows a careful evaluation of banking options, revealing a close match between the financial institution’s goals and Evans’ operating philosophy, officials said.
“When it comes to selecting a financial partner, it’s about more than just financial solidity. There has to be a deeper understanding and connection between business philosophies,” said Jason Mansur, president of Evans. “That’s what we found with PNC Bank—a strategic financial advisor that understands and wants the same things we want for our customers.”
“We are pleased to support Evans’ business goals through strategic financial solutions,” said Luke Tripodi, senior vice president for PNC Business Credit. “We look forward to continuing to work alongside the company and its leadership team to provide value-added advice and the financial strategies they need to continue their growth objectives.”

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$OPAL--OPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas, today announced the expiration and results of its previously disclosed exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding (i) public warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “OPALW”(the “public warrants”), and (ii) private placement warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock (the “private placement warrants” and, together with the public warrants, the “warrants”). The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 16, 2022. The purpose of the Offer and Consent Solicitation is to simplify the Company’s capital structure and reduce the potential dilutive impact of the warrants, thereby providing the Company with more flexibility for financing its operations in the future.
The Company has been advised that 13,240,756 warrants (including 4,209 warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), or approximately 85.7% of the outstanding warrants, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered warrants for exchange and settlement on or before December 21, 2022.
In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of parties representing approximately 96.5% of the outstanding public warrants and approximately 78.5% of the outstanding private placement warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs the warrants (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”), which exceeds the threshold of 65% of each of the outstanding public warrants and outstanding private placement warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment, dated December 19, 2022, and the Company announced that it will exercise its right, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, to exchange each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer for 0.225 shares of Class A common stock per warrant, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (the “Post-Offer Exchange”). The Company has fixed the date for the Post-Offer Exchange as December 23, 2022.
As a result of the completion of the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange, no warrants will remain outstanding. Accordingly, the public warrants will be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq and will be delisted upon completion of the Post-Offer Exchange. The shares of Class A common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “OPAL.” Following completion of the Offer, there are approximately 28,981,579 shares of Class A common stock outstanding (an increase of approximately 12.9% from prior to the closing of the Offer) and following completion of the Post-Offer Exchange there will be approximately 29,477,870 shares of Class A common stock outstanding (an increase of approximately 14.8% from prior to the closing of the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange).
The Company engaged BofA Securities as the dealer manager for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company served as the exchange agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Imperial (TSE: IMO, NYSE American: IMO) today provided an update on its corporate guidance outlook for 2023. The company’s corporate strategy remains focused on maximizing performance of existing assets and select growth initiatives, while prioritizing shareholder returns and delivering key sustainability initiatives.
Capital spending is forecast at $1.7 billion and includes a planned ramp-up for the Strathcona Renewable Diesel project, application of solvent technologies at Cold Lake and ongoing investment on the in-pit tailings project at the Kearl oil sands facility. Imperial has included approximately $200 million in incremental capital in its 2023 plans predominantly due to accelerating the start-up of the first phase of Cold Lake Grand Rapids by about one year to year-end 2023, as well as adding incremental and accretive rail transportation scope to the planned Strathcona Renewable Diesel project to increase access to high-value markets. A final investment decision for the renewable diesel project is expected in the coming months and will be based on several factors including government support and approvals, market conditions and economic competitiveness.
In the Upstream, production is forecast between 410,000 and 430,000 gross oil equivalent barrels per day, reflecting the sale of the company’s interests in XTO Energy Canada. The production outlook is underpinned by planned strong operating performance in the company’s core oil sands assets and continued production growth at Kearl. Kearl remains on track to increase production to 280,000 total gross barrels per day by 2024 through reliability and maintenance improvements, debottlenecking and digital initiatives. At Cold Lake, the company is focused on progressing capital-efficient projects, including Grand Rapids and the Leming redevelopment, to sustain and grow production while reducing greenhouse gas intensity through accelerated deployment of new recovery technologies that lower emissions.
In the Downstream, throughput is forecast to be between 395,000 and 405,000 barrels per day with capacity utilization between 92% and 94%, reflecting an increase in planned turnaround activity at the company’s Strathcona and Sarnia refineries in 2023. Strategic investments in efficient logistics, reliability and low-carbon product offerings ensure the company remains well positioned to continue maximizing production to provide a stable supply of fuel products to meet Canadian demand.
“Imperial’s plans reflect our company’s aggressive pursuit of attractive opportunities to reduce emissions, increase production and increase profitability,” said Brad Corson, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our priority remains to maximize value for our shareholders and the company’s fully integrated, high-quality assets position us well to continue delivering on our commitments throughout 2023.”
A detailed mid-term outlook is planned for Imperial’s investor day on April 19, 2023 in Toronto.

DONGYING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dongying, a city in East China’s Shandong province, has been helping local enterprises expand in international markets as part of the city’s attempt to achieve a higher level of opening-up.
At Dahai New Energy, a photovoltaic production enterprise in Dongying, workers stay busy on the production line processing overseas orders. Even though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic caused many challenges for foreign trade, Dahai New Energy can still receive a large number of overseas orders. In addition to the company’s excellent production quality, it also benefits from the local government’s supporting policies.
The order marks the start of a new partnership between Austria and Dongying's new energy enterprises. “It is a project related to the Belt and Road Initiative and promoted by the Dongying government. We are very grateful to the government for helping our company open up to the Austrian market,” said Wang Yongjin, director of the foreign trade department of Dahai New Energy Co.
Since the beginning of 2022, the Dongying municipal bureau of commerce has organized more than 200 foreign-invested companies to attend more than 50 offline and online trade exhibitions in countries including the United States, Germany, South Korea and Japan in battery and auto parts fields to seek trade orders.
During the Automechanika Dubai, which was held from Nov 22 to 24, two rubber companies from Dongying – Hongsheng and Roadboss — reached agreements worth $23 million.
According to the statistics from Dongying customs, during the first three quarters of this year, the city’s foreign trade value hit 19.77 billion yuan ($2.83 billion), ranking fourth in Shandong province. It was 33.3 percent higher than the same period last year, 17.8 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of the province's foreign trade.
The recent 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that more efforts need to be made to promote a higher level of opening-up, and foster a new pattern of development that features positive interplay between domestic and international economic flows.
In the future, Dongying government plans to increase support and services in policy implementation, certificate processing, and exhibition negotiation for foreign trade companies to explore foreign markets, promote foreign trade growth and further deepen opening-up.

The Romeoville, IL station to provide low-carbon fuel for Amazon fleet as part of nationwide RNG Expansion
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CLNE--Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), the largest provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, announced the opening of another renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling station that will provide an anticipated 1.4 million gallons of the clean fuel annually for Amazon and other truck fleets in the greater Chicago area.
“The addition of the Romeoville station to our fueling network represents another step in the pathway for Amazon to realize significant carbon reduction for its transportation fleets,” said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president, Clean Energy. “Trucks that operate on diesel are incredibly harmful to the air we breathe and contribute to long-term climate change. Renewable natural gas is a viable solution that provides immediate benefits, and as such this station will mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the impact of climate change in the Chicago area.”
Located at 300 Southcreek Parkway, the Romeoville station is part of an agreement between Clean Energy and Amazon for Clean Energy to build 19 stations nationwide. The station is intended to support the retailer in its adoption of RNG, a sustainable fuel produced from organic waste, which has been given an average carbon rating of -317 by the California Air Resources Board and is helping fleets to further their carbon reduction and fiscal goals.
The station initially will fuel more than 100 Amazon trucks and is designed with sufficient fueling capacity to accommodate several hundred more trucks. Amazon heavy-duty trucks have already fueled at more than 86 existing Clean Energy stations around the country and under the agreement announced last year, another 17 new Clean Energy-owned stations are slated to follow Romeoville, with several expected to open early next year.
By dispensing 1.4 million gallons of RNG annually instead of diesel, the Romeoville station will reduce carbon emissions by 15,219 MT metric tons—the equivalent of growing 253,643 trees for ten years, removing 3,308 passenger cars from the road, or reducing 6,112 tons of landfill waste.
The Romeoville station spans 8.2 acres and includes multiple public access fast-fill dispensers for easy in-and-out fueling of RNG; time-fill posts for up to 152 trucks, allowing for cost-effective fueling and the most advanced technology transmitting real-time data to customers; and 153 parking places for drivers’ personal vehicles. Beginning today, this multi-million-dollar station gives the thousands of heavy-duty trucking fleets that operate throughout the busy Chicago area the ability to fuel with a clean, renewable, and sustainable fuel.
“We’re pleased that fleets that operate in Romeoville will now have the option to use RNG fuel,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak. “It’s a fuel that will improve air quality and have a positive impact on climate change.”
Clean Energy is also investing in the production of renewable natural gas with partners, TotalEnergies and bp, at dairies throughout the Midwest. The RNG produced at these dairies and others around the country will flow into the Romeoville station and Clean Energy’s nationwide fueling infrastructure.
The RNG digesters at dairies allow their owners to solve the problem of fugitive methane while realizing an additional revenue stream.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Global Market Outlook" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report will cover the global SAF industry. Definitive and detailed estimates and forecasts of the worldwide markets are provided, followed by a detailed analysis of the regions, countries, and platforms. This report covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global SAF market for 2022-2027.
As SAF is produced using renewable feedstock, it reduces carbon emissions by 80% in its lifecycle process. It also reduces other harmful gases like sulfur. Conventional jet fuels categorized as Jet A/A1 fuels have strict specifications, which are approved by a regulatory body ASTM. The primary grade of jet fuel should have the specification of ASTM D1655. The SAF meets the properties of conventional jet fuels, and thus it can also replace Jet A/A1 fuels entirely without altering the aircraft turbines.
To calculate the market size, the revenue generated through sales of SAFs for aviation industries, including commercial airlines, business, general airlines, military aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles, are considered. The report also presents the competitive landscape and a subsequent detailed profile of the key players operating in the market.
A negative economic outlook has been assumed in all the segments for 2020 due to COVID-19. A negative impact due to the Russia-Ukraine war that started in February 2022 has also been considered in this report. The growing economies are assumed to attract key companies in the market and increase consumer spending.
Furthermore, the study also discusses the market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges. It also examines new and emerging trends and their impact on current and future market dynamics.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nearly 50 additional low-income homes in Cook County will soon undergo free energy-efficiency upgrades from ComEd and area natural gas companies, the result of a pair of grants from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBank Chicago).
Two grants, totaling more than $715,000, were recently awarded to the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA). The funds will help MEEA further collaborate with ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas on an ongoing program to rehabilitate the homes of low-income residents so that they can receive energy-efficiency improvements and services that can lower monthly energy bills.
“MEEA is honored to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank, Providence Bank and Illinois utilities to address a problem facing so many homeowners. This braided funding will help make these homes safer and more energy efficient, so the residents can save money on their utility bills,” said Stacey Paradis, MEEA Executive Director.
Cook County homeowners who qualify for upgrades must have total household incomes at or below 60% of the Area Median Income which for a family of four is $62,520. The homes must also have identified structural or health and safety issues that need to be addressed before energy-efficiency improvements and services can be safely completed.
For ComEd customers, improvements and services are part of the award-winning ComEd Energy Efficiency program which, since 2008, has saved participating families and businesses more than $7 billion on their electric bills and helped remove the same amount of carbon emissions from the air equivalent to planting more than 30 million acres of trees.
“The ability to assist more low-income homes supports ComEd’s focus on equity for all customers,” said Melissa Washington, ComEd's chief customer officer and senior vice president of customer operations. “These homes tend to be older in design, with structural, health and safety issues, such as water leaks, that must be addressed before energy-efficiency technologies can be installed. Improvements to these homes means more families can take advantage of programs that help them save energy and manage bills through the life of their homes.”
The FHLBank Chicago grants awarded to MEEA, in partnership with Providence Bank, are among 35 totaling $20.6 million. They are designed to support the acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of more than 1,600 housing units across Illinois and Wisconsin. MEEA’s application was submitted in partnership with ComEd, Nicor Gas, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas.
With the FHLBank Chicago grants, MEEA and the utilities will be able to invest approximately $20,000 in services to each low-income home. The projects are scheduled to begin in 2023 and be completed within 36 months.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#energy--Linse Capital, a San Juan, Puerto Rico-headquartered growth equity firm, today announced the successful close of $700 million in capital raised. The capital will be allocated across the firm’s flagship fund –– Linse Capital Fund I (LCFI) –– alongside two co-investment vehicles for portfolio companies Skydio and Verkada.
LCFI has a dedicated commitment of $563 million to invest in world-leading industrial technology companies.
Michael Linse, formerly a partner at Kleiner Perkins, founded Linse Capital in 2015. He and Bastiaan Janmaat manage the firm and previously worked together as investors in Goldman Sachs’ Special Situations Group.
Since the firm’s inception, Linse Capital has raised more than $1.1 billion in committed capital. Linse Capital is backed by more than 400 family office investors, in addition to leading investment firms including affiliates of Oppenheimer & Co. and investment arms of publicly traded companies across the transportation, energy, logistics and real estate industries, including Daimler Truck and Taiwan Mobile.
LCFI will embrace Linse Capital’s concentrated strategy of investing in a select handful of new companies per year, investing between $100 million and $400 million in each business over time. Linse Capital aims to become the largest or one of the largest shareholders at exit. Linse Capital was a leading early investor in ChargePoint (CHPT: NYSE), an electric vehicle infrastructure company operating the largest network of independently owned electric vehicle charging stations. ChargePoint went public in 2021, and Linse Capital was the largest shareholder at IPO.
“We are in the early innings of the fourth industrial revolution, where technological trends such as artificial intelligence and software-enabled hardware are bringing unprecedented innovation to industries that have traditionally been slower to innovate,” said Bastiaan Janmaat, Linse Capital managing director. “We are grateful for the support of the large LP network we have assembled. Most of all, it’s exciting to back the founders and change-makers building the companies that are at the forefront of this new paradigm.”
Driving The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Industrial technology was long overlooked by venture capitalists due to its idiosyncratic risks –– it can be capital intensive, can require building supply chains and actual production facilities, typically involves deep engineering, and regulatory factors can become significant tailwinds or headwinds. A company that can traverse those risks finds itself in a position where those same risks become a moat around their business.
These are also companies that tend to be transformational for their industries, leading to more efficient, faster, cheaper, cleaner processes. It takes an exceptional founding and management team to build that kind of business. Linse Capital seeks to identify, invest in and provide strategic support for these types of companies.
McKinsey estimates Industry 4.0 will rapidly expand in the next few years and provide $3.7 trillion in value creation by 2025. Governments are coming to realize that these are some of the world’s most important businesses to nurture. We are seeing growing support, including the recent U.S. Infrastructure and Jobs Act as well as the Inflation Reduction Act, which together mandate in excess of $1 trillion in spending, much of it going toward the products and technologies of leading industrial-technology companies.
Doubling Down Across the Portfolio
Linse Capital believes building a high conviction and concentrated portfolio is the right approach to investing in industrial technology companies. When the firm identifies a world-class industrial technology company, Linse Capital prioritizes deep involvement in the company and outsized follow-on investments over broadening the portfolio. Linse Capital’s current portfolio, spanning LCFI as well as prior funds, includes the following market leaders:
