TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#PV--With the increasing depletion of the earth’s resources, countries worldwide are more determined about green industrial policies. The European Commission adopted the New Circular Economy Action Plan this March. The UK, Japan, and China will draw up a “marine pollution map” in response to the “marine plastic crisis.” These show that the green industry has become a major field of study for human survival and reducing resource consumption. Therefore, the “Sustainability Pavilion” of the “2020 Taiwan Innotech Expo” will focus on the green industrial chain. The core values are “sustainable living,” “sustainable energy,” and “sustainable resources” tied in with “new agriculture,” “green energy technology,” “circular economy,” and “workplace safety” that reflect the four aspects of life. The pavilion will present more than one hundred technologies that can build a sustainable home in the next ten to twenty years.


The circular economy technology ecosystem demonstrated by the circular technology island

The Sustainability Pavilion will exhibit circular economy business models (recycle, redesign, etc.) that use circular technology and innovative circular inputs. They show Taiwan’s improvement in the effective use of resources and international industrial competitive advantage and also its transformation into a circular technology island. The pavilion highlights Taiwan’s potential circular technologies and applications. These include marine debris recycling, carbon capture, and design for disassembly solar panels for clean water, air, and sunlight. With circular technology applications, we can increase industrial competitive advantage and preserve natural resources for sustainable living on this island.

“Sustainable Living” Highlights

Photovoltaic agriculture and aquaculture (Council of Agriculture)

Photovoltaic agriculture and aquaculture can be categorized into “aquavoltaics” and “agrivoltaics.” The development of new photovoltaic aquaculture modules and models, the applications of new green energy aquaculture models, and an aquaculture model factory will be exhibited.

Workplace environment and physiologic monitoring technology (Ministry of Labor)

Workplace hazard alerts can be monitored in real-time with wearable environmental or physiologic monitoring devices: 1) Smart wireless gas sensor that can detect movement and gas concentration (O2, CO2, H2S, CH4). It can send wireless hazard information to remote surveillance personnel in real-time. It can also send wireless distress signals to shorten response time. 2) Overwork assessment device that can link the heart rate to the built-in sleep data, fatigue scale, and disease risk database to estimate the disease risk indicators and overall level and display them on the device. It can inform employers of employee health status, preventing overwork incidents.

“Sustainable Energy” Highlights

Grid-scale energy storage (Bureau of Energy)

Taiwan’s 2025 battery energy storage target is 590 MW. Grid-scale energy storage technology compensates for the insufficient capacity of current pumped-storage hydroelectricity and fast-reacting gas-fired equipment. The technology is mainly used for ancillary services of renewable energy and power systems. Two types of grid-scale energy storage technology will be presented: the “power battery” that can increase grid reliability and stability, and the “energy battery” that can harvest energy on a large-scale, increase renewable energy dispatchability, cut peaks and fill valleys, and transfer energy.

Kinmen smart grid (State-owned Enterprise Commission)

Diverse energy management technology that combines the “rapid intervention energy storage system” and “virtual power plant.” This series of systems are known as the “grid booster.”

Visualized GIS management system of local power distribution network (Atomic Energy Council)

The integration of real-time information from GIS and SCADA can help dispatchers quickly find feeder fault locations. Also, with the addition of program calculation of distribution power flow, it can be a reference for dispatch decisions to speed up troubleshooting and restore power supply, thereby improving feeder dispatch reliability and renewable energy management.

“Sustainable Resources” Highlights

Circular materials verification and matchmaking platform (Industrial Development Bureau)

This platform integrates and connects diverse ICTs. Through blockchain, IoT, and AI, it tracks the resource distribution, quality, and applications of circular materials. It also displays the logistics transport routes, real-time images, and quality data of circular materials on the cloud. This way, the records of materials from the source to applications are transparent, promoting a new circular economy model.

Recycling and reusing online shopping packages (Environmental Protection Administration)

Online shopping is booming in Taiwan, but the packing boxes have greatly burdened the environment. The highlight of the exhibition is the “package+ circular box.” It is a new model that recycles and reuses online shopping packages. The packages are made with recycled materials and are waterproof, anti-collision, and anti-theft. One package can be reused more than fifty times. Carbon emissions are reduced by about 1.2 kg with each use, and disposable online shopping packages are reduced by 300 g.

International Co-Marketing of New Agriculture

For the international exhibition, many countries, including France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia, will participate in the Sustainability Pavilion. The exhibition will combine European agriculture with Taiwan’s technology and experience and will hold several seminars to discuss the co-marketing and layout of alliance markets. The variety of innovative technologies and applications will lay a strong foundation for sustainable new agriculture.

Joint venture selected as EPC provider for construction of 900-MW gas-fired Cascade Power Plant in support of province’s decarbonization goals


OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BPC, a joint venture between Black & Veatch and PCL Industrial Management, has been selected to construct a 900-megawatt (MW), low-carbon natural gas combined cycle generating facility in Alberta under an EPC contract with Alberta-based developer Kineticor Resource Corp. BPC, which has a proven track record of delivering critical engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects, will help the Canadian province pursue decarbonization by transitioning away from coal-fired power.

The Cascade Power Plant, which will be located southwest of Edson, Alberta, is expected to help lead the province’s transition to a lower-carbon future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from traditional power generation. The plant will rely on two SCC6-8000H gas turbines in a single-shaft combined cycle configuration with air-cooled condensers provided by Siemens Energy to offer a highly efficient, low-emissions power supply that should satisfy 8 percent of the province’s average power demand.

“Pairing Black & Veatch’s deep expertise in EPC and natural gas power generation with PCL’s position as the most experienced constructor in Alberta created a winning combination,” said Andrew Plaunt, CEO of Kineticor. “We’re pleased to have these two industry leaders on board, as this project will provide enormous benefit to the environment and the local economy.”

The project is strategically situated near high-voltage transmission lines and significant natural gas production, including Western Canada’s extensive NGTL System, which collects and transports gas from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB).

Construction will start immediately, and commercial operations are expected to commence in 2023. With more than 3 million labor hours required for construction, the project will benefit the local economy by creating approximately 600 jobs during peak construction and 25 long-term positions during operation.

“Our client Kineticor sought a power plant solution that would allow them to deliver cleaner energy to the residents of Alberta, fulfilling a growing need to decarbonize their energy supply across the province,” said Mario Azar, president of Black & Veatch’s power business. “The Cascade project builds upon Black & Veatch and PCL’s long-standing success as joint venture partners with an established track record of delivering complex power infrastructure projects safely, on-time and on-budget in the U.S. and Canada.”

“We are proud to once again partner with Black & Veatch and to pair our EPC experience and expertise in building and delivering effective, large-scale power facilities,” said Roger Keglowitsch, COO, Heavy Industrial at PCL. “We’re looking forward to working together again to deliver a cleaner, more sustainable power solution that will help meet Alberta’s energy needs.”

Most recently, the BPC team completed the H.R. Milner Unit 2 simple cycle gas-fired plant in May 2020, located near Grande Cache, Alberta. The project was completed by the team in just 17 months, safely and ahead of schedule.

WASHINGTON, D.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EnergyElection--An overwhelming majority of voters in Texas (62%), Louisiana (72%), Mississippi (73%) and Alabama (70%) support sensible offshore exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico, a new poll from Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA) reveals.


Further, the polling found that almost two-thirds of voters – including a majority of independents and Democrats across various Gulf States – support calls for increased development of responsibly-produced U.S. oil and natural gas. And energy is an important issue to more than 82% of voters surveyed in the Gulf States.

The polling was done to examine how much support offshore exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico and other energy issues have amongst voters.

Other key findings include:

  • More than 60% of voters in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama support sensible offshore exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, 54% of Florida voters supported it
  • Across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, almost two-thirds of all voters – and large numbers of Democrats and independents – agree with calls for increased development of U.S.-produced oil and natural gas
  • More than 82% of voters – including most Democrats – in each state say energy issues are very or somewhat important in their voting decisions. Energy was a winning issue among Florida voters as well
  • More than 70% of voters across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, believe we have the technological ability to explore for and produce natural gas and oil from offshore areas in a safe and environmentally responsible way
  • Substantially more voters are likely to vote for a candidate who supports sensible energy solutions

“The success of those running for office in this election cycle will hinge on their ability to promote issues that assist in economic recovery, promote energy security for America’s families and small businesses, create jobs, and protect our environment,” CEA President David Holt said. “And supporting responsible offshore energy production in the Gulf remains the best way to achieve all of the above.”

“With the Gulf of Mexico producing about a fifth of the nation’s oil, offshore energy production remains one key to America’s ability to protect our critical conservation and environmental programs, coastal restoration and energy security, as well as helping spur COVID-19 economic recovery.”

Holt added: “Voters overwhelmingly support sensible energy solutions, such as offshore energy production. To win in November, candidates are going to have to listen and side with voters.”

CEA’s survey also tracked the political atmosphere across the Gulf States, which highlights approval ratings and support for the 2020 presidential candidates, as well as key elected officials in each state.

About Consumer Energy Alliance

Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA) is the leading voice for sensible energy and environmental policies for consumers, bringing together families, farmers, small businesses, distributors, producers and manufacturers to support America's environmentally sustainable energy future.

Portfolio Now Includes Ultra-Low Temperature Solutions to Meet Emerging Needs of Pharmaceutical Customers

SWORDS, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thermo King, by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, has expanded its portfolio of temporary storage solutions that can meet the unique requirements of global pharmaceutical companies developing COVID-19 vaccines. Thermo King is the global leader in intelligent end-to-end temperature-controlled cold chain solutions.


Pharmaceutical companies in final-stage clinical trials anticipate they will require strict temperature controls to safeguard their products – down to temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius. Thermo King’s solutions can enable these companies and their distributors to ensure the efficacy of their products through the entire cold chain – from air transport to marine, rail, trailer, last-mile delivery and at storage points along the way.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly 20 percent of temperature-sensitive health care products are damaged during transport, and 25 percent of vaccines reach their destination in a degraded state due to breaks in the cold chain.

“Considering the urgent, global need for a COVID-19 vaccine, the world can’t afford breaks in the cold chain,” said Dave Regnery, president and chief operating officer of Trane Technologies. “Our new Cold Storage Solutions can maintain temperatures of -70 degrees Celsius for an extended period of time, can be leveraged to help reduce degradation of a vaccination, and most importantly, could prevent vaccine ‘deserts’ or lack of accessibility.”

Thermo King and its worldwide partners can offer temporary storage solutions that maintain a set point down to -70 degrees Celsius, and can ensure end-to-end temperature control, security and traceability through state-of-the-art telematics. Additional storage solutions include refrigerated trailers, containers and portable cubes that can easily be scaled and repositioned to other locations as demand changes.

In addition to launching Cold Storage Solutions, Thermo King has helped customers identify ways to maximize the range of dry ice, which is often used in vaccine transport and storage but has certain limitations. A container using dry ice to keep a product frozen may require re-icing if it sits for an extended length of time or is exposed to extreme ambient weather. Thermo King offers storage solutions that can substantially extend the life of dry ice, or eliminate the need altogether.

“We have been engaging pharmaceutical and transport companies, policymakers, regulators and other industry partners to discuss ways to strengthen the cold chain,” said Regnery. “We know that we can help mitigate risk – we have a long history in cold chain expertise, and are actively working to innovate and address the complexities and potential challenges of the mass distribution of a temperature-sensitive vaccine.”

About Thermo King

Thermo King – by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator – is a worldwide leader in sustainable transport temperature control solutions. Thermo King is the only company that delivers connected, end-to-end temperature-controlled transport and storage solutions across the cold chain.

HIGHLIGHTS


  • 1-for-10 reverse stock split completed and common stock begins trading today on a split-adjusted basis
  • Investment pipeline at record levels
  • Majority hedged through 2021 at prices ranging from $54-58 per barrel

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) (“Northern” or the “Company”) today announced the completion of its reverse stock split and other business updates.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Northern completed the previously announced 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock. This process has been designed to reduce costs for ownership, improve Northern’s ability to participate in broad market indices, and to better represent its financial health to prospective and existing investors. The reverse split became effective at 11:59pm on September 18, 2020 and Northern’s common stock will start trading on a split-adjusted basis today.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

Northern’s unique non-operated model affords the Company the ability to be highly selective in its capital allocation process, both on its existing organic footprint and throughout a multitude of day to day Ground Game acquisition opportunities.

With capital becoming increasingly scarce across the E&P industry, operators and non-operators alike are turning to external parties to solve their non-operated working interest budget needs. Given this environment, Northern has a superior opportunity set to deploy capital in high return prospective projects. The pipeline of visible investment opportunities currently stands in the hundreds of millions of dollars, both in the Williston Basin as well as the Permian Basin, where Northern announced its initial acquisition on September 10th. In addition, Northern continues to expect to end 2020 with approximately 30 net wells in process.

Management remains focused on investing in assets that are in preeminent oil and gas basins, operated by best-in-class teams, and projected to meet stringent economic thresholds. To this point, any investment currently under consideration is required to be accretive to Northern’s peer leading 2019 return on capital employed (ROCE).

Armed with a growing opportunity set and a rigorous investment methodology, Northern continues to execute on its multi-year path to generate free cash flow, reduce debt, improve margins, and grow the business in a responsible manner.

RISK MITIGATION AND HEDGING UPDATE

Northern has amongst the best hedging programs in the industry. The Company remains hedged on the majority of its oil production through 2021 at attractive oil prices. Specifically, Northern has hedged an average of 24,787 barrels of oil per day for the fourth quarter of 2020 at approximately $58 per barrel and 21,393 barrels per day in 2021 at approximately $55 per barrel. This hedge profile supports management’s confidence in the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow in 2020 and beyond, underpinned by a sustaining capital program and not just a reduction of spending below maintenance levels.

With its surplus cash, Northern plans to continue to reduce outstanding borrowings. Year-to-date Northern has aggressively reduced its highest cost debt, the Senior Secured Notes, by approximately $130.0 million through exchanges and open market repurchases. As previously announced, management does not anticipate additional debt-for-equity exchanges in 2020, instead debt reduction will be driven from the Company’s cash flow. Additionally, Northern expects steady reductions to its revolver borrowings at year-end 2020 and continuing throughout 2021, inclusive of scheduled maturities.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

As previously announced on September 10th, Northern’s operations continue to improve. Northern raised its production guidance for the third quarter of 2020, with production steadily returning to sales. Pricing differentials have improved, and lease operating unit costs are expected to be down substantially since the peak of the coronavirus crisis in the second quarter of 2020. Consistent with previous guidance, Northern expects cash flow from operations to exceed that of total capital expenditures in both the third quarter and fourth quarter, as well as for the entirety of 2021. Northern’s conservative budgeting for 2020 has allowed for capital to be deployed to bolt-on acquisitions which will serve to increase cash flows and production in 2021 and beyond at high returns on capital employed.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

“As a company we are well aware of the challenges for energy equities,” commented Mike Kelly, EVP of Finance. “But Northern’s unique, high return business model, visible free cash flow profile, strong hedge protection, and an incredible investment opportunity set is at odds with our current equity valuation by the markets.”

“Furthermore, with a record number of high-quality wells in process we continue to position the Company for a strong recovery that can be measured through reduced indebtedness, sustained high-levels of free cash flow, and measured growth when appropriate over a multi-year period.”

ABOUT NORTHERN OIL AND GAS

Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. is a company with a primary strategy of investing in non-operated minority working and mineral interests in oil & gas properties, with a core area of focus in the Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks play in North Dakota and Montana.

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) today announces its commitment to the Copper Mark. The Copper Mark is a new, comprehensive assurance framework that demonstrates the industry’s responsible production practices and contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is the first and only framework developed specifically for the copper industry and enables each site to demonstrate to customers, investors and other stakeholders their responsible production performance.


FCX has commenced the process for six of its operating sites and has future plans to validate all of its operating sites against the Copper Mark requirements.

Richard C. Adkerson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am proud to announce our commitment to the Copper Mark. Our focus on responsible production is critical to establish and maintain acceptance from our stakeholders. The Copper Mark demonstrates our responsible production practices to downstream markets, helping to meet our customers’ responsible sourcing objectives. Copper plays an essential role in the technologies necessary to develop and deliver clean energy and to support the global transition to a low-carbon economy. As the energy transition continues, copper use is expected to increase from the use of electric vehicles and their charging stations and renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, and their necessary connections to grids. This increased copper demand should not come at a cost to sustainability. As one of the world's largest copper producers, we understand we play a critical role in this transition, and we remain dedicated to supplying the global economy with responsibly produced copper.”

To receive the Copper Mark, copper producers must be assessed independently against a comprehensive set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria on a site-by-site basis. The framework currently is focused on copper producers at the beginning of the supply chain, but it intends to develop criteria for fabricators and component producers in the coming years with the goal of establishing a chain of custody for downstream companies, such as automobile and electronics producers.

The Copper Mark was originally founded and developed by the International Copper Association, to which FCX is a member, in conjunction with various stakeholders including financial institutions, commodities exchanges, Nongovernmental Organizations, Original Equipment Manufacturers, and copper fabricators. The Copper Mark now is an independent entity and builds on the advice of its multi-stakeholder advisory council.

  • Joint development effort advances breakthrough technology and ways to bring it to scale
  • Technology removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
  • Direct air capture technology recognized as an important tool to achieve negative emissions

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExxonMobil and Global Thermostat have expanded their joint development agreement following 12 months of technical evaluation to determine the feasibility and potential scalability of Global Thermostat’s technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air.


“ExxonMobil’s scientists continue to research technology options aimed at reducing emissions at scale, which are key to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement,” said Vijay Swarup, vice president of research and development for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company. “Our work with Global Thermostat has shown promising signs in the development of direct air capture technologies that could be brought to scale. We look forward to seeing how new materials might accelerate this potential, while also continuing our research that captures CO2 from power generation facilities.”

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has said that CO2 capture, use and storage “is a key technology for the decarbonization of the energy sector in the long term.” In addition, the International Energy Agency recognizes that CO2 removal is expected to play a “key role” in the energy transition.

Global Thermostat’s CO2 capture uses proprietary amine-based adsorbents to remove CO2 from the air. These compounds act together like a filter to efficiently capture CO2, which can then be stored safely underground, used to make chemicals, consumer products or construction materials.

“Global Thermostat is dedicated to addressing the risks of climate change and doing so in a way that creates global prosperity by working with others who have technology to transform the CO2 into fuels, chemicals and materials,” said Peter Eisenberger, chief science officer of Global Thermostat. “We look for companies that want to help us in our mission. After a year of working with ExxonMobil, we recognize our shared objective and they certainly have the capabilities we do not have. We are excited about continuing our work together to scale our technology and welcome others to join us.”

ExxonMobil has a strong network of research partnerships across universities and national labs. As a part of the joint development agreement with Global Thermostat, ExxonMobil will leverage this network and engage the expertise of university partners that have strong expertise in material science and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Labs that offer expertise in CO2 capture and utilization. Global Thermostat will also engage its network of universities and industrial partners to help scale its technology.

The original agreement with Global Thermostat was signed in 2019.
