LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#UNSDG--Cedo, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of recycled plastic waste bags has today revealed its Roadmap for Sustainable Business Growth. The plan is built on three pillars: People, Planet and Products and comes with targets designed to protect the earth’s resources while attracting and nurturing talent within the business.
“Our plan has been built with deep engagement from all the employees within our company,” says Rik De Vos, CEO of Cedo. “The journey to circularity will not be easy, but I have seen an immediate shift in decision making, and prioritisation of actions now that we are a purpose-led business. We are actively contributing to European and UK legislative debate to accelerate this transformation, while articulating and communicating proactively and transparently. A dream has been turned into a great journey and it pleases me enormously to see the response from everybody on our ambition.”
People
To better serve customers and employees, Cedo is committing to become positively involved in its communities in the seven countries in which it operates, investing in them both as an employer and community member while actively supporting local environmental, health and wellness projects.
With its industry-leading focus on sustainability and rewarding career and development opportunities, Cedo hopes to attract fresh and diverse talent to join its two thousand-strong workforce who are as committed to environmental sustainability as they are to innovation. “We recognise that our economic growth as a business can only be delivered by valued colleagues and communities, high quality products and a healthy planet. Our pillars are aligned to these beliefs. Real success can only come from delivering progress in all three areas,” De Vos said.
Planet
For planet, the business has committed to achieving climate neutrality across its global operations by 2030, increasing its use of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency usage.
Cedo will also improve its stewardship of water, with clear monitoring and improvement plans while reducing the overall water consumption in its operations. The business aims to send zero waste to landfill and has already achieved this target this year in the UK.
Product
To achieve circularity, Cedo has pledged to use only recycled, recyclable or sustainable materials for both packaging and product design. “We will use the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circulytics measurement tool, transparently tracking its progress to become a circular business,” says Ton Emans, Director of Recycling at Cedo and President of Plastics Recyclers Europe. “We’ve been members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and participants of the New Plastics Economy initiative since its inception in 2016 and by working together we are confident that we can transition from a linear to a circular business model over the next few years.”
Working with customers in 34 countries and listening to their needs, Cedo is aiming to dramatically reduce plastics in its products and focus better on the use of raw materials through its eco-design process, selecting the appropriate raw material for each product and its intended life cycle. Going forward, the business will only purchase from suppliers which meet its ethical, environmental and social standards.
All of these steps that Cedo is taking towards sustainable business growth will be measured and shared in a new, fully transparent Grow With Purpose report, released every year.
Supporting nine of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
As well as outlining its approach to doing business, Cedo’s Roadmap for Sustainable Business Growth explains how it will work towards nine of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These are Goal 3, Good Health and Well-Being; Goal 5, Gender Equality; Goal 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth; Goal 9, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; Goal 12, Responsible Consumption and Production; Goal 13, Climate Action; Goal 14, Life Below Water; Goal 15, Life On Land and Goal 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
In July 2021, Cedo announced that it is one quarter of the way to achieving its 100 per cent renewable energy goal, which will see it becoming a climate neutral business by 2030.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "U.S. Residential Solar PV Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Construction, by State (California, New York, Arizona, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Texas, Rest Of the U.S.), and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. residential solar PV market size is expected to reach USD 14.1 billion by 2028, and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2021 to 2028.
Factors such as rising demand for renewable clean power generation and government policies related to incentives and tax rebates for solar PV (photovoltaic) systems are expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Increasing awareness among people regarding the use of low carbon-intensive technologies to limit carbon footprint is one of the major factors driving the adoption of solar PV systems in the U.S. residential sector.
The rejoining of the U.S. in the Paris Climate Agreement in February 2021 is expected to further boost market growth. Further, the extension of Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for residential solar PV installations at 26% by 2022 and 22% by 2023, is anticipated to boost the growth of the industry over the forecast period.
California is expected to continue to have a dominating market share as compared to other states in the U.S. on account of the presence of supporting policies, plans, and financial incentives for solar PV installation in the residential sector.
In addition, the adoption of the California solar mandate from January 2021 is expected to boost market growth in the state over the coming years. The mandate states that all new residential properties to be constructed in the state should opt for solar PV systems.
The availability of alternative clean power generation technologies in form of wind power and fuel cell systems is expected to hinder the growth of the market.
Increase in research and development activities and the presence of favorable policies and regulations for these power generation sources are factors likely to boost their adoption over the forecast period. These factors are expected to limit the growth of the industry over the forecast period.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crossbridge Energy Partners (“Crossbridge”) announces it has acquired the former Shell Refinery in Fredericia, Denmark, with the associated Trading & Supply activities, effective as of July 1, 2021.
Crossbridge seeks to acquire, manage, and transform traditional energy assets in the downstream refining sector into net-zero energy assets producing sustainable renewable fuels and products as well as recycling waste into energy.
”Our goal is to transition into having a carbon-neutral impact on the environment while continuing to provide reliable energy to customers and markets we serve," said Nicholas Myerson, Chief Executive Officer of Crossbridge. “We are excited to be leading the solutions for tomorrow's energy needs and believe the Fredericia refinery is well-positioned to be a part of the energy transformation with its experienced employees, proven capabilities of producing sustainable renewable fuels, combined with its world-class logistics, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships.”
The refinery in Fredericia produces approximately 35 percent of the total Danish liquid fuel consumption – and exports an equal amount to Northern Europe – and Crossbridge is already in the process of transforming the refinery, says the newly appointed GM of the refinery, Finn Schousboe:
“Our greener future will be realized through the advancement of processing multiple types of biofuels, co-processing of waste products using proven, environmentally safe techniques, and an excellent collaboration with Everfuel for the establishment of a 300MW electrolyzer at the refinery. We believe strategic collaborations, like that with Everfuel, demonstrate how Crossbridge can be part of the larger solution towards carbon-neutrality for the refinery. We look forward to working with all stakeholders towards developing a better tomorrow.”
The refinery will continue to provide energy security to the greater Jutland and surrounding Danish regions by producing traditional hydrocarbon fuels while reinvesting and further developing the production of sustainable fuels and co-processing projects.
“Engagement with Fredericia and the broader communities we serve is a critical part of our business strategy. We look forward to hosting local business partners, community participants and governmental policy members at our world-class facility,” said Derek Becht, Chief Operating Officer of Crossbridge.
About Crossbridge: Crossbridge is an affiliate of Postlane Capital Partners, which was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Stamford, U.S., with operating assets located in Houston, Odessa, Fort Wayne, Calgary, Bordeaux, and now in Fredericia and Copenhagen, with the acquisition of A/S Dansk Shell (renamed to Crossbridge Energy Fredericia) through its affiliate company, PL ESG Denmark Co ApS. Postlane Capital Partners owns/operates a portfolio of nearly $1.0 billion in assets (approx. 6 billion Danish kroner).

Led by Former Sidecar Founder and CEO and backed by high profile entrepreneurs and investors, the Company Aims to Reduce CO2 Emissions by One Gigaton by 2030
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spring Free EV, a financial technology company built to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through innovative fintech products, debuts today. The company, which is led by serial entrepreneur and former Sidecar founder and CEO Sunil Paul, has the bold mission to reduce CO2 emissions by one gigaton by 2030 through a new vehicle financing approach that makes EVs more accessible to everyone. Spring Free EV is backed by Reid Hoffman, Marianne Wu, Mark Pincus, Ev Williams, and others. The company currently has fleet relationships with several auto manufacturers, including Tesla and Nissan, and works with fleet managers in six states with plans to expand to 20 states by the end of 2021.
Introducing the Mileage Purchase Agreement (MPA) — a financial agreement that makes EVs more affordable
The biggest barrier to EV adoption is their high upfront costs. However, if low fuel and maintenance cost are taken into account, EVs are very affordable, especially for high-mileage drivers. Moreover, the total cost of owning an EV over its lifetime is lower than fossil-fuel vehicles. The Mileage Purchase Agreement (MPA) is a financial product that makes EVs more affordable by reducing the upfront costs and charging a fee per mile of use. Through this unique approach to financing, Spring Free EV removes the single biggest barrier to EV adoption, by making the costs equal to or lower than fossil-fuel vehicles. Today, fleet managers across the country have embraced the MPA because of the high demand for EVs on consumer carsharing and ridesharing platforms and for their lower fuel and maintenance costs.
Spring Free EV was co-founded by Sunil Paul, Martin Lagod, and Cassandra John. Sunil Paul is a veteran entrepreneur and champion of climate reform. His passion to reinvent transportation dates back two decades, most recently as founder and CEO of pioneering rideshare company Sidecar. Cassandra John is a New York-based business executive working at the center of clean energy and financial services, who saw an opportunity to create positive generational climate impact and climate justice by making EVs more accessible to everyday people. Through their combination of environmental vision and operational expertise, they will create a new mobility paradigm in which EVs are accessible to everybody, not just a few.
“To have the impact on climate that we want and need, EVs need to be accessible to the everyday person,” said Cassandra John, co-founder and CFO of Spring Free EV. “The climate crisis can’t wait. The MPA is the best way to open the door to EV access, accelerate adoption, and bend the curve of climate change.”
Commenting on the announcement, Reid Hoffman said, “To solve the climate crisis we need to blitzscale companies with audacious goals like the ones Sunil and his team of mission-driven entrepreneurs have set out to reduce CO2 emissions.”
Fleet managers interested in learning about a quick, affordable, and hassle-free way to add EVs to their fleet using the MPA can visit www.springfreeev.com.

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#sharrowmarine--Sharrow Marine announced today plans to roll out an exclusive OEM Sharrow Propeller™ Boatbuilder Program using their award-winning Sharrow Propellers™. The program includes a comprehensive development package for each boatbuilder that will provide them with custom designed and custom-made Sharrow Propellers™ that enhance not just efficiency but also performance attributes that are most important to each boat builder. For example, planing speed, handling at the dock, and faster speeds at optimum cruise. The Sharrow Marine engineering team will use their proprietary design and simulation capability to optimize boat hull, motor, and propeller interactions to give each boatbuilder an advantage over their competition. The plans also include attractive incentives, and of course an optimized set of Sharrow Propellers™ for their vessels and motors.
“You can have the best motor or boat in the world, but the propeller is ultimately the device that transfers engine power and torque to the water. If you’re using an off-the-shelf cookie-cutter propeller on your motors or vessels you are simply leaving a massive amount of performance on the table,” said Greg Sharrow, founder, and CEO of Sharrow Marine. “The optimized boat/motor/propeller package is the holy grail for the marine industry and now with the launch of our new OEM Sharrow Propeller Boatbuilder Program, boat builders and engine makers can obtain it,” says Sharrow.
“The simple fact is that boats with similar specs all perform about the same. But in 2022, there will be boats on the market that perform much better because they will be equipped with optimized Sharrow Propellers. For boat owners interested in peak performance and the latest technology, the Sharrow Propellers will offer a superior upgrade,” says Sharrow.
The Sharrow Propeller™ has undergone extensive third-party testing, including independent testing by BoatTEST. Advantages cited by BoatTEST and others of the new Sharrow Propeller™ include:

Hilcorp has advised the Trust that by the end of 2021 it will complete the process of actualizing, accounting for and reporting to the Trust the operated revenue and severance tax computations for the four production months (January through April 2021). At this time the amount of these actualizations is unknown.
The Trustee continues to engage with Hilcorp regarding its ongoing accounting and reporting to the Trust. The Trust’s third-party compliance auditors continue to audit all payments made by Hilcorp to the Trust, including adjustments, true-ups, and recoupments.

CALGARY, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Greenfire Acquisition Corporation (“GAC” or the “Company”) announces the successful closing of the strategic acquisition of Japan Canada Oil Sands Limited (“JACOS”), which includes a 75% working interest and operatorship of the Hangingstone Expansion site. The definitive sale and purchase agreement to acquire all shares of JACOS, first announced on July 29, 2021 (the “Acquisition”), was executed via a GAC-affiliated special purpose acquisition vehicle named HE Acquisition Corporation (“HAC”).
Strategic Rationale
The strategic Acquisition of JACOS unites the Greenfire Hangingstone asset, held by GAC, with the immediately adjacent Hangingstone Expansion site, which share the same tier one oil sands reservoir. GAC plans to sustainably increase production at Hangingstone Expansion through the site’s existing infrastructure, employing the same safe, efficient, and capital-disciplined operating approach that the Company utilized to optimise conditions at the Greenfire Hangingstone asset. Leveraging its deep oil sands expertise, GAC expects these improvements will lead to a material enhancement in profitability and a step change reduction in the site’s carbon intensity per barrel of oil.
Outlook
Management estimates that the combined production from GAC’s portfolio will be more than 20,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) in the near-term and in excess of 30,000 bbl/d in the mid-term.
Corporate Reorganization
The Acquisition represents a major milestone for GAC and its business strategy, positioning the Company as an intermediate sized and low-cost oil sands producer focused on responsible energy development in Canada. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition and with a positive outlook in future direction, Greenfire Acquisition Corporation will undergo an internal reorganization, which will result in a new go-forward operating entity of the Hangingstone assets named "Greenfire Resources Operating Corporation" (“GROC”). GROC will remain an operationally focussed company with an emphasis on an entrepreneurial environment and employee ownership, which are key pillars of the Company’s identity. By retaining “Greenfire” in the corporate name, it signifies stakeholders’ support and trust in the Company’s employees to continue creating, enhancing and delivering long term value.
GROC, which is backed by McIntyre Partners and Griffon Partners, continues to see a range of attractive investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector in Canada and internationally.
