SOMERVILLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#cooling--Infinite Cooling Inc., a technology company focused on reducing water consumption and enabling sustainable industrial cooling, today announced it has closed $12.25 million in Series A financing led by Material Impact. The company will use the funds to amplify the company’s momentum, deploy its product on large-scale facilities, and expand its growing customer base.
Using proprietary technology developed at MIT, Infinite Cooling harvests the large amounts of pure water that are produced as a by-product of cooling systems in power plants, data centers, and manufacturing facilities. This makes industrial processes more sustainable, mitigates their impact on local aquifers, and reduces operational costs. It also improves safety and reliability by capturing cooling tower plumes. For a single medium-sized power plant, this can result in over a hundred million gallons of water saved and millions of dollars in water cost savings per year. The company has already signed three contracts with industrial facilities across the US.
“Water is the lifeblood of our economy, yet today’s industrial consumption of water is no longer sustainable,” said Carmichael Roberts, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Material Impact. “Industries are recognizing that they need to find ways of becoming less dependent on municipal sources. Infinite Cooling’s ingenious water recycling technology is the answer to the industrial sector’s water crisis, and we are already seeing the company make tremendous commercial progress with multinational companies seeking to reduce their water footprint. We are thrilled to be working closely with Infinite Cooling’s management team to achieve our shared vision of fundamentally changing the way industrial cooling is performed, for the benefit of business and our planet.”
In the US alone, close to two trillion gallons of freshwater are consumed annually in cooling towers, representing around 85 percent of all residential water consumption. Globally $30 billion is spent annually on water for cooling. Infinite Cooling was co-founded by Maher Damak, Ph.D, Karim Khalil, Ph.D, and Professor Kripa Varanasi to mitigate water scarcity by cutting water losses in the most water intensive industries. It originated in the renowned lab of Prof. Varanasi at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
“Power plants, data centers, refineries, and manufacturers are working with us to apply our retrofittable technology to their cooling towers,” said Kripa Varanasi, Infinite Cooling’s Co-Founder, Chairman and MIT Professor. “The huge water consumption of cooling towers has been a widespread industrial problem, and we have developed the first technology that can significantly reduce evaporative losses and reduce costs for industrial facilities.”
“We are ecstatic to continue working with the Material Impact team who shares our vision of sustainable and efficient industrial processes,” said Maher Damak, Ph.D, Co-Founder and CEO of Infinite Cooling. “Together, we have ambitious goals of scaling up our technology and having a profound impact on global water access and availability.”
About Infinite Cooling
Infinite Cooling’s mission is simple: to change the way industries around the world consume freshwater. Its WaterPanel™ technology helps power plants and other industrial processes reduce their water consumption and water treatment costs by recovering water from their cooling tower exhaust. Developed at MIT, Infinite Cooling’s technology uses electric fields to capture water from the plumes leaving cooling towers. The company is a mission-driven and growing startup based in Somerville, Massachusetts focused on becoming a global technology leader in industrial water applications. Co-founded by Maher Damak, Ph.D, Karim Khalil, Ph.D and Professor Kripa Varanasi, Infinite Cooling has won the MIT $100K, MassChallenge, the DOE National Cleantech Competition and several federal grants from DOE and NSF.

Lender Commitments Increased Under San Mateo’s Revolving Credit Facility
Matador is also pleased to announce a $75 million increase in the lender commitments under San Mateo’s revolving credit facility (the “San Mateo Credit Facility”) from $375 million to $450 million.

$140 Million Transaction Will Substantially Increase Clean Harbors’ Re-refining Capacity and Strengthen Waste Oil Collection Capabilities
NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement with Vertex Energy, Inc. (“Vertex”) (NASDAQ: VTNR) to acquire certain assets related to Vertex’s used motor oil collection and re-refinery business in an all-cash transaction for $140 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, subject to approval by U.S. regulators and Vertex shareholders, and other customary closing conditions.
Based on current market pricing of Vertex’s re-refining products and production levels of its plants, the assets are expected to generate annual revenues of more than $100 million. Clean Harbors expects the acquired assets to achieve Adjusted EBITDA in the first full year of operations of at least $15 million.
The transaction will enable Clean Harbors to:
“We believe that this transaction will generate significant value and return for our shareholders, as well as benefits to our current and prospective SKSS customers,” said Alan S. McKim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Clean Harbors. “Expanding our re-refining network through the addition of the Vertex assets, which include our first re-refining operation in the Gulf Coast region, will enable us to further grow our presence in the renewable lubricants and fuels markets. Vertex’s waste oil collection and branch footprint complements our existing network of locations and expands our service capabilities within a number of key states.”
The Vertex assets being acquired include a 20-million-gallon re-refinery in Columbus, Ohio and a 69-million-gallon re-refinery in Marrero, Louisiana. The deal involves 17 service branches strategically located throughout the Midwest and Gulf Coast, supported by approximately 200 employees and a fleet of collection vehicles.
Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex, said, “This transaction positions Vertex to redeploy capital from used motor oil (UMO) and re-refining assets into energy transition assets of scale. Based on Clean Harbors’ 40 years of expertise in environmental services and strong reputation for operational excellence, we feel confident that they are the best partner for this transaction. We anticipate a seamless transition for our respective used oil customers, and we feel confident that our transitioning employees will benefit from being a part of a well-respected environmental company that is capable of offering significant career opportunities.”
McKim concluded, “We look forward to welcoming Vertex Energy employees to the Clean Harbors family later this year. As customers continue to look for ‘greener’ solutions to reduce their impact on the environment, we believe that our closed-loop programs for collecting waste oil and producing finished lubricants or recycled fuels will become even more attractive in the coming quarters and years ahead. The Vertex assets will support the growth strategies related to these sustainable offerings.”

DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, is pleased to appoint two company executive leadership positions. Elizabeth “Liz” Meloy Hepding is named senior vice president, business development, and Kate Keene is promoted to senior vice president, human resources, talent, and diversity, equity and inclusion. Both Hepding and Keene will report to Vicente Reynal, president and chief executive officer of Ingersoll Rand, as part of his executive leadership team and be based in Davidson, N.C.
As senior vice president of business development, Hepding will oversee business development strategy, sourcing, execution, and integration, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, joint ventures and strategic partnerships. Her appointment will be effective July 19 and she will relocate from Chicago to Davidson, N.C.
With more than 20 years of strategy, M&A and corporate development experience, Hepding joins Ingersoll Rand from PurposeBuilt Brands where she served as vice president of corporate development since 2019 and guided the company’s expansion through acquisitions. Prior to that, she was senior vice president, strategy and corporate development at Essendant Inc., where she was responsible for all acquisitions, divestitures and partnerships, and led the execution of Essendant’s sale to Staples. She began her career in investment banking, spending more than a decade in the industry, primarily at UBS Investment Bank where she held roles of increasing responsibility.
“Liz’s vast experience in business development strategy and M&A, with expertise in target identification, pipeline generation and negotiations, combined with her broad industry experience across many sectors including industrial manufacturing makes her a strong fit for Ingersoll Rand,” said Reynal. “She brings further leadership in integration planning and executing key strategic initiatives – both of which are areas where Ingersoll Rand is known for delivering on our commitments to stockholders and generating near and long-term value. We welcome Liz to the team, and I am confident she will offer valuable guidance and counsel, and help deliver growth for our company.”
Effective immediately, Keene will lead the global strategy for all human resources, talent and organization capability, and diversity, equity and inclusion for Ingersoll Rand.

In her most recent role, Keene served as an HR business partner for the company’s global Precision and Science Technologies segment as well as led the North America region HR team. She joined Ingersoll Rand in 2016 as director of HR for corporate functions and then led a global HR team supporting the Fluid Management, Material Handling and Power Tools business units, where she aligned HR strategies and processes to the most pressing business needs. In addition to Ingersoll Rand, Keene has nearly 20 years of experience in human resources leadership positions at GE and Sabic.

Superhub in Bed-Stuy will have 25 fast chargers open 24/7 to the public and accessible to owners of any EV brand, and charging will be free through July 6th
United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm, New York City Council Member Robert E. Cornegy Jr., Con Edison CEO Tim Cawley, Tritium President Mike Calise and New York League of Conservation Voters President Julie Tighe celebrated the opening at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held by Revel
BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electric transportation company Revel opened its first electric vehicle (EV) fast charging Superhub to the public today at the historic former Pfizer building in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The Superhub is the largest universal EV fast charging depot in the Americas with 25 chargers, and is the first of a network of Superhubs planned by Revel across New York City. For the first week that the Bed-Stuy site is open, charging will be free to members of the public (through Tuesday, July 6th).
Prior to the opening of Revel’s first Superhub, there were only two publicly-available EV fast charging stations in NYC’s urban core. Most depots in the city are in further-flung locations like JFK airport, and many charge a fee just to enter the parking lot. New York City also has a low rate of electric vehicle adoption, with only 14,000 EVs out of the 1.9 million cars and SUVs registered in the city.
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony held today, Revel CEO Frank Reig, United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm, New York City Council Member Robert E. Cornegy Jr., Con Edison CEO Tim Cawley, Tritium President Mike Calise and New York League of Conservation Voters President Julie Tighe spoke to the importance of expanding access to EV charging.
“It’s no surprise that EV adoption is lagging in our city- the infrastructure just isn’t here yet, and the stations that do exist aren’t accessible to most New Yorkers,” said Revel CEO and Co-Founder Frank Reig. “Our Superhubs are designed to reach as many people as possible in the neighborhoods where they actually live. This is what NYC needs to move towards an electric future and we’re excited to get started.”
"Today's ribbon cutting isn’t about just one charging station, even though it is the biggest universal charging station in the country,” said United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “It represents our vision for building a clean energy economy on the foundation of good-paying jobs, overcoming and improving the health outcomes of communities too often left behind. As the old saying goes—if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. And we need electric vehicles and charging stations everywhere, in cities and towns all across America."
“Shirley Chisholm was not afraid of change. She was a spokesperson for the young women of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and her message resonated across the world. We are willing to find creative ways to support local residents,” said New York City Council Member Robert E. Cornegy Jr. “This year I am launching my 4th Shared Economy summer, which connects the new technology of app-based transportation to support mom-and-pop businesses. Now Bed-Stuy is taking lead by becoming home to the largest universal fast charging depot in North America. We are showing that fighting global problems like greenhouse emissions can help our local businesses, so we welcome Revel as part of our community.”
“As we work to combat climate change, the future of transportation is electric, but many drivers won’t feel comfortable buying an EV until they see a critical mass of public charging stations around the city,” said Con Edison CEO Tim Cawley. “The Brooklyn superhub makes it convenient for current EV owners to charge up and will encourage more New Yorkers to consider buying an electric car.”
"We are extremely pleased to have partnered with Revel on this project. Access to fast, reliable and convenient charging solutions is critical to the uptake of EVs, and the Superhub is an ideal solution to help more New Yorkers adopt electric transportation," said Tritium President of the Americas Mike Calise. "Projects like the Superhub give urban drivers the confidence that they can make the leap to an EV with access to a site providing rapid charging solutions all day, every day."
“We can't tackle climate without tackling transportation. Just as the Biden Administration is prioritizing electrification as part of its federal climate agenda, New York is accelerating its shift to electric vehicles by installing infrastructure like this new fast-charging depot,” said Julie Tighe, President of the New York League of Conservation Voters. "Our environment wins when governments, communities, and companies like Revel work together to invest in clean transportation."
Revel chose Tritium’s recently launched RTM fast charger for its Brooklyn site. This is the first time the model is available in North America, and at 75kW, the chargers provide EV drivers with 100 additional miles in about 20 minutes. Two of the charging stalls are specially designed to ensure Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. Revel also contracted with MP2 Energy LLC to ensure that the charges are entirely powered by renewable energy sources.
Revel also worked closely with Con Edison to make its Superhub vision a reality, and is the first fast charging operator participating in Con Edison's PowerReady program to complete a project.

GARDEN VALLEY, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global health charity, Mercy Ships, reports that after a completion and acceptance ceremony on June 16, followed by a handover celebration at the Tianjin Xingang shipyard this past week, the world's largest civilian hospital ship, Global Mercy™, has successfully been delivered and the charity has taken possession of their brand new vessel.
The final handover of the newly constructed hospital ship from shipyard to owners was celebrated in the presence of representatives from Mercy Ships, project managers from Stena RoRo, together with shipyard management, joined by a remote audience of Mercy Ships staff and crew from around the world. The traditional shipyard events are designed to wish happiness to the ship and its crew on the seven seas. The building phase has now been officially completed and the charity is one step closer to the first surgery onboard.
”This day is a dream come true – not only for us, but for those we serve,” stated Don Stephens, Mercy Ships founder, who spoke via video to those attending. ”African heads of states and ministers of health have often expressed a desire for more of their healthcare professionals to be trained in-country. This ship will do exactly that. Many who suffer from disability and disfigurement will have access to surgical treatment and whole-person care in healthcare systems that will enable them to reach their Godgiven potential. We hope that this new vessel and the volunteer crew who serve on her will bring hope, healing and transformation for the next 40-50 years,” he added.
Per Westling, CEO of Stena RoRo, said, "We are very proud to take delivery of this special ship. The activities to be carried out onboard have placed special and high demands on the construction of this ship. For the yard, it was the first time this type of vessel was built – a challenge that they managed very well. For Mercy Ships, delivery means that their capacity to help more than doubles. And at Stena RoRo we are happy to be a part of their fantastic work through Global Mercy.”
Mercy Ships has been working on this new ship project for more than eight years. Contracts were signed in 2013, and the keel laid in 2015. Sea trials were successfully completed in late April this year.
Equipping the world’s largest NGO hospital ship
In July, the Global Mercy is scheduled to sail to Europe where, hosted by the Port of Antwerp from early September, the ship will be further outfitted with IT and medical equipment installations and soft furnishings. Mercy Ships volunteer crew will also begin to join the ship in stages during this phase which concludes with open events in Rotterdam in Q1 2022 where the ship will be presented to sponsors, future volunteers, the media, and other interested parties. A further Africa welcome is being planned in Dakar, Senegal before the ship begins full operation.
Double the impact

Market barriers include high upfront investment costs and proprietary battery technologies that limit industry standardization
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BaaS--A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for battery swapping, focusing on light EVs, light duty (LD) EVs, and heavy duty (HD) EVs. Forecasts are provided for the installed base of battery swap station deployments, batteries used in battery swapping programs, and vehicles participating in battery as a service (BaaS) through 2030. Annual revenue forecasts for BaaS and battery swapping equipment are also provided.
Although electrification appears poised to take over as the primary means to power vehicles, several key barriers, such as high upfront purchase prices and long charging times, continue to hinder mass EV adoption. Battery swapping is an emerging technology that shows strong potential to address these key barriers and greatly accelerate the adoption of EVs. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, battery swap station deployments are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% during the next decade, with more than 454,000 stations expected to be deployed globally by 2030.
“In select markets, consumers can now purchase EVs without owning the battery and participate in a battery as a service (BaaS) monthly subscription program,” says Ryan Citron, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Separating battery ownership from EVs could be one of the keys to accelerating the transition toward large-scale electrification of transportation markets.”
While battery swapping has tremendous potential to transform the EV industry due to the myriad of improvements it offers over existing EV ownership and operation models, the technology also faces substantial barriers to adoption. These barriers largely stem from EV manufacturers developing proprietary battery technologies, which limits industry standardization. However, several suppliers are working to address this barrier by developing modular battery swapping solutions that can be adapted to different vehicle types.
The report, Battery Swapping Markets for Transportation Applications, analyzes the global market for battery swapping, focusing on light EVs, light duty (LD) EVs, and heavy duty (HD) EVs. The study provides a detailed analysis of the market opportunities, key drivers and barriers of growth, and technology trends associated with battery swapping programs. Forecasts are provided for the installed base of battery swap station deployments, installed base of batteries used in battery swapping programs, and the installed base of vehicles participating in battery as a service (BaaS). Annual revenue forecasts for BaaS and battery swapping equipment are also provided. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
