Business Wire News

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The first marine fast charging network operator, Aqua superPower (“Aqua”), and Tritium Holdings Pty Ltd (“Tritium” or the “Company”), a leading global developer and manufacturer of direct current (“DC”) fast charging technology for electric vehicles (“EVs”), today announced a strategic partnership to electrify transportation on global waterways. Aqua superpower has been rolling out its network of marine fast chargers, with recent installations along the Cote d’Azur and the Italian Riviera, another in Venice, and a further 150 chargers planned next year, with substantial deployment growth to come thereafter.



As the electric mobility revolution continues to take hold on the roads and in the skies, the shift towards electrification is also gathering pace across the marine world. Aqua superpower supports marinas, boat builders and boat owners in the drive to bring electric power to the water and reduce the impact of boating on marine ecosystems. As the demand for marine charging infrastructure grows, Aqua is collaborating with Tritium, a global leader in DC fast charging hardware and software, to deliver the first global marine-specialised fast charging network.

“We elected to work with Tritium for their forward-thinking technology, cutting-edge hardware architecture, and operational cost benefits,” said Aqua superPower’s CEO, Alex Bamberg. “The requirement for a joined-up network of reliable and fast marine chargers to create charging hubs and corridors for electric boat users is absolutely crucial if we are to secure the transition away from liquid carbon fuels. The fully sealed design of Tritium’s DC fast chargers and clarity of the user interface inherently provide the robustness and ease of use needed in the marine and freshwater environment.”

The charging speed provided by DC fast chargers is critical to the growth prospects of the e-boat industry. Aqua’s strategy is to supply reliable, high-speed charging to commercial and recreational marine craft users internationally.

Tritium’s IP65-rated technology provides the fully sealed, safe, and reliable charge that e-boat drivers need. The company’s RTM fast charger model was an ideal solution for Aqua with its twin CCS ports and simultaneous charging capability, enabling boat owners to spend less time charging. This is of particular advantage to commercial and working boat owners and operators, as the more frequent duty cycles made possible by the chargers make e-boat technology both more efficient and more beneficial for the environments in which it is used.

“The existing high-profile installations in Monaco, Portofino and Venice, together with other planned Aqua superPower and Tritium projects around the world, will support the electrification of marine transportation going forward. In the same way that passenger vehicles have reached the tipping point, the future for boating is an electrified fleet,” said Tritium’s CEO, Jane Hunter. “The Aqua team comes with experience in creating fast charging networks. We are delighted to work with them as a marine channel partner and provide the technology to help them pursue their goal for a dedicated marine fast charge network.”

Tritium’s robust, sealed-against-the-elements hardware combines seamlessly with Aqua superPower’s network and user management technology. The marine e-mobility ecosystem requires an easy and reliable user interface providing clear guidance to recharging points if adoption is to become widespread.

Aqua superPower’s network is accessible to marine users via the Aqua secure app, RFID card and contactless payment, with ‘Plug and Charge’ technology expected to be available in the future. The app will enable users to view a map showing charger options and offer navigational aids to guide them to their chosen location.

Aqua's adoption of Tritium’s technology will promote its mission to reduce the impact of boating on the marine environment by developing an all-electric and integrated global ecosystem of marine fast chargers. The collaboration will expand clean commercial water transport beyond luxury yachts, to ferries, shuttles, and watercraft used for everything from laundry and food delivery to fishing and passenger transport.

Production System Binder Jetting Technology Enables the Mass Production of High-Performance Copper Parts for Automotive, Aerospace, and Electronics

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#3Dprint--Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM) today announced it has qualified commercially pure copper (> 99.95% purity) for additive manufacturing on the Production System™ platform, which leverages patent pending Single Pass Jetting™ (SPJ) technology designed to achieve the fastest build speeds in the metal additive manufacturing industry. Customers can now leverage SPJ technology for the production of high-performance copper parts at scale across a broad variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics.



With its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, commercially pure copper is an ideal material for applications requiring heat or electricity transfer, such as cold plates, pucks and manifolds, heat sinks, heat exchangers, and bus bars used in power-intensive electrical applications. It is the third-most-consumed industrial metal in the world.

“Copper has been a highly requested material from many of our customers and prospects, and has applications spanning a broad variety of industries, from thermal hardware found in air and liquid cooling systems to conformally cooled coils for transmission of high frequency currents,” said Jonah Myerberg, co-founder and CTO of Desktop Metal. “We are excited to be able to expand our extensive Production System materials portfolio to support customers looking to 3D print electrically and thermally conductive components at scale and at a fraction of the cost of conventional manufacturing methods.”

Desktop Metal’s materials science team has qualified and fully characterized commercially pure copper (C10300) printed on Production System technology with greater than 99.95 percent purity, enabling excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Manufacturers can now print copper parts on the Production System with significant geometric complexity in a single step instead of brazing multiple conventionally produced copper components together, eliminating a time-intensive and expensive process prone to error and waste. With the geometric freedom enabled by binder jetting, engineers can also explore new, high-performance designs not possible with conventional manufacturing methods, such as the lattice structures and conformal cooling channels to improve heat transfer.

An example of a key application includes:

  • Liquid Cooling Plate

    Liquid cooling plates are used to regulate temperature on high-performance microprocessors. Coolant flows through the fins, which provide a large surface area to transfer heat from the passing fluid to the heat sink in order to cool the chip that is attached to the outer body. These cooling geometries typically require capital-intensive, long lead time, and skilled labor-intensive production processes, such as skiving and machining, given the challenges associated with achieving precision and repeatability in such a small form factor. In addition these commonly used conventional manufacturing processes are subtractive and produce excess scrap material, greatly increasing the associated part costs.

    Whereas conventional production methods for this liquid cooling plate required machining and assembling multiple separate components due to restrictions on tool access, binder jetting on the Production System can produce the part as a single component, reducing manufacturing and operational complexity, part cost, and lead time. The Production System unlocks the capacity to print hundreds of cooling plates per day, enabling cost-effective volume production. Copper is the ideal material for heat exchangers due to its excellent conductivity, maximizing heat dissipation from the electronic chip to the cooling fluid.

The Production System - World’s Fastest Way to 3D Print Metal Parts At-Scale

Created by the inventors of binder jetting and single-pass inkjet technology, the Production System is an industrial manufacturing platform powered by Desktop Metal’s SPJ technology. It is designed to achieve speeds up to 100 times those of legacy powder bed fusion additive manufacturing technologies and enable production quantities of up to millions of parts per year at costs competitive with conventional mass production techniques.

The Production System platform consists of two printer models: the P-1, a solution for process development and serial production applications, and the P-50, a large form factor mass production solution for end-use parts. The Production System combines Desktop Metal engineered binders with an open material platform, allowing customers to produce high-performance parts using the same low-cost metal powders used in the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) industry. An inert processing environment enables compatibility with a variety of materials, including high-performance alloys and even reactive metals, such as aluminum and titanium. To learn more about the Production System, visit: www.desktopmetal.com/products/production.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Oilfield Chemicals Market Outlook to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The report examines the market drivers and restraints and the impact of Covid-19 on the market growth in detail. The study covers and includes emerging market analysis, trends, market dynamics, developments, opportunities, and challenges in the industry. This report also covers extensively researched competitive landscape sections with prominent companies and profiles, including their market shares and projects.

Oilfield chemicals are chemical compounds with applications in Improved Oil Recovery, Drilling Optimization, and Corrosion Protection. According to the publisher, the Global Oilfield Chemicals Market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors such as the increasing demand and its wide application in oil exploration and production activities, demand for advanced drilling fluid, and rapid expansion of shale drilling & production. Further, due to the growing urbanization and increasing population, the need to fulfill the global energy demand is projected to drive the Global Oilfield Chemicals market.

Further, the increased usage and demand for shale gas and oil across the industry is expected to drive the market. Rising demand for advanced drilling fluid and the growing preference for deep and ultra-deepwater drilling is projected to drive the market. However, frequent crude oil fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, increases in environmental concerns, and expensive disposal techniques are expected to hinder the growth of the Oilfield Chemicals market. Oilfield Chemicals are used to drill and explore gas and oil as demulsifiers, rheology modifiers, surfactant, stimulation chemicals, corrosion inhibitors, anti-corrosion agents, iron control agents, among others.

With thousands of drilling rigs in the world and increasing crude oil production annually to fulfill the increasing demand to meet the energy requirement, and with both organic and inorganic base chemicals used, the drilling and cementing segment is set to drive the market for the global oilfield chemicals. Contract drilling company, Transocean limited reported drilling revenues at USD 653 million in its 2021 quarter one results. Since drilling and cementing is essential to every oil and gas exploration, the need for oilfield chemicals is expected to rise. Nabors Industries, one of the leading drilling companies globally, posted USD 461 million as revenue in their 2021 quarter one results. Further, there is an increased preference for deep and ultra-deepwater drilling, with oil and gas giant ExxonMobil increasing its holding in Argentina to add around 2.6 million net acres to its total holding. Therefore the use of Oilfield Chemicals for drilling and cementing is expected to grow and drive the overall market in the future.

Some of the market's key players are Akzo Nobel N.V, BASF SE, Baker Hughes, Schlumberger Limited, Clariant AG, Solvay S.A., among others.

The utility partner of the clean energy transition broke records with perfected operations, seamless delivery and outstanding customer experience.

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uplight, the technology partner for energy providers transitioning to the clean energy ecosystem, has solidified its place as the premier provider of utility marketplaces, blowing away expectations of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales of carbon-reducing and energy-saving products. After spending 12 years fine-tuning its Marketplace, Uplight confidently offers utility customers the most affordable, accessible and easy-to-install devices on the market, with bundled enrollment opportunities to maximize each customer interaction.


Uplight’s more than 30 utility partners are using unsurpassed scale to activate customers into purchasing energy saving devices and connecting them to the clean grid at higher rates than ever. This November, Uplight’s utility marketplaces outperformed their sales expectations, with the average utility achieving 112% of target. Collectively they sold more than 84,000 smart thermostats, a 22% year-over-year increase, with approximately 45% of those sales coming from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Promotional sales combined with utility rebates provided at the point of sale significantly reduced the upfront cost to customers, providing low-cost or free thermostats to customers. Smart thermostats provide utility customers up to 15% energy savings each year on cooling, delivering significant energy savings year after year. Additionally, Uplight enrolls 60% of eligible customers into demand response programs creating a more flexible grid.

Uplight creates world-class consumer experiences that result in increased utility customer satisfaction. Uplight’s average Net Promoter Score (NPS) across all of its Marketplaces is 72 (NPS of 65 is considered 'excellent' for most retailers), though it rose to 74 during the holiday shopping period. During the busiest time of the year, Uplight maintained its outstanding customer support for utility customers, beating service level agreements such as average speed of answer and time to fulfill by 50%. Uplight’s increased functionality, compared to competitors, drives more value for utility partners, leading to increased enrollment in utility programs such as demand response and managed charging.

“Our Marketplace is a one-stop shop for devices that help customers save energy, take advantage of instant rebates, enroll into relevant programs and connect to the clean grid in a smooth process that we’ve continually fine-tuned to deliver a better customer experience. Even in the year of supply chain disruption, we were able to increase device sales by more than 20%,” said Brad Chen, General Manager of Ecommerce at Uplight. “We’ve spent years focused on optimizing the customer experience, minimizing barriers that are common elsewhere, while also building world-class operations and customer service. We really saw that work pay off this year to deliver results for our utility partners beyond their expectations.”

In addition to these record holiday sales, Uplight Marketplaces quadrupled sales of Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers from 2020 to 2021, as a strong sign of EV adoption. Marketplaces can play a critical role in helping customers switch to EVs, purchase and install Level 2 chargers and help customers enroll into managed charging programs. Uplight found that providing a rebate or enrollment incentive for EV chargers at the point of purchase increased sales by 3.5x compared to non-incentivized chargers.

40th annual installment of world’s preeminent energy conference will explore ‘Pace of Change: Energy, Climate and Innovation.’ Learn more at www.ceraweek.com


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 40th annual gathering of CERAWeek by IHS Markit—the world’s preeminent energy conference—will convene the world’s energy industry leaders, experts, government officials and policymakers, as well as leaders from the technology, financial and industrial communities in-person, March 7-11 in Houston.

CERAWeek 2022: Pace of Change: Energy, Climate and Innovation will examine the challenges and opportunities of reducing emissions while supplying the needs of a growing global economy in the era of energy transition. Chaired by Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of IHS Markit and author of The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations, the conference is returning to Houston after being hosted as an all-virtual event in 2021.

“We are pleased to be returning to Houston in 2022 for the 40th annual CERAWeek by IHS Markit,” said Yergin. “Houston is the energy capital of the world and we are honored to have it as the home of CERAWeek these past several decades. At a time of profound change in the energy world, there is no more-fitting place for the critical dialogues that will take place at this year’s conference.

“The inherent challenges of the energy transition—and the rapid transformation to the basis of the world’s $86 trillion economy that it entails—are as profound as they are vast,” Yergin added. “Recent energy crises and market volatility illustrate the importance of balance between reducing emissions and ensuring stable and reliable energy flows that the growing global economy needs. It is a challenge made more complex at a time of strained supply chains and heightened geopolitical tensions. Meeting the demands of the energy future will require new strategies, intelligent investment and plenty of innovation. These are among the important issues that the world’s energy leaders will address in Houston at CERAWeek 2022.”

Produced by IHS Markit (NYSE: INFO), a world leader in critical information, analytics and solutions, the CERAWeek 2022 conference program will explore key themes related to More Energy, Less Emissions; Geopolitics and Energy Markets; Workforce of the Future; Competitive Landscape and the Energy Transition; Supply Chains; and Financing the Energy Future.

The conference will also feature the CERAWeek Innovation Agora, serving as the center of technology and innovation programming at the event. Featuring a community of thought leaders, technologists, start-ups, investors, academics, energy companies and government officials, the Innovation Agora will showcase transformational technology platforms in the energy space ranging from digitalization, AI, analytics and connectivity, robotics, blockchain, additive manufacturing, mobility and decarbonization. Newly added for 2022 will be dedicated “Agora Hubs” focused on hydrogen and carbon management.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2035)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Key Market Trends

Need for Faster and Cleaner Urban Transportation is Driving Investments in the Market

With the number of on-road passenger vehicles increasing every year, traffic congestion problems are also growing. Especially at certain peak hours, the increasing amount of traffic on the roads significantly increased the commuter's time taken to travel by roads. The existing road systems in most countries cannot handle the peak-hour loads without forcing the commuters to wait in line. This is not only wasting the time of citizens, but also challenging the governments.

Additionally, growing on-road passenger vehicle volumes, which burn fossil fuels, are also polluting the environment considerably. With traffic congestion and urban road mobility posing a great challenge, governments and technology companies have started to look at UAM as a viable option for passenger and cargo transport.

As the UAM is a safe and efficient air transportation system where the passenger-carrying air taxis are operating above populated areas, there may be significant time savings. Moreover, air taxis used for the UAM are mostly electric powered or fuel-cell powered. Hence, they help in reducing atmospheric pollution. In this regard, many companies are investing significantly in this industry, which is expected to boost the technological advancements in the market in the long run, after the UAM systems enter the commercial usage phase.

North America and Europe to be at the Forefront of the UAM Revolution

Though there have been developments around the globe, most of these innovations have been centered in the North American and European countries. The presence of aerospace giants Boeing and Airbus has also helped foster a favorable environment for the UAM sector, as these companies are keenly investing toward developing prototypes for evaluation. For instance, since 2014, Airbus has been exploring methods to integrate the latest technological advancements in electric propulsion systems for powering the UAMs. Hence, in 2018, the company created the Airbus Urban Mobility division to accelerate the integration of such innovative technologies into the UAM solutions that the company aspires to offer. As of April 2021, Airbus is developing new capabilities, as part of the Vertex project, to allow for a fully autonomous flight in its Flightlab demonstrator by 2023.

In Europe, several cities have joined the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Initiative, a part of the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC). The initiative aims to contribute to the creation of a market for urban air mobility. Under this initiative, companies with innovative urban mobility solutions are brought together, and their solutions are showcased and supported to replicate the feasible ones at a bigger scale. Even the regulations for the urban air mobility industry are being drafted. As per European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), air taxis and ambulances can become a reality in European airspace by 2026.

Even in North America, the United States is at the forefront of adopting this newer means of transport. Many start-ups from the United States are working together to develop and implement these technologies locally. A roadmap is also being laid for bringing the UAM into commercial usage in the next 5-6 years. With these efforts, North America is also projected to embrace the urban air mobility concept faster than the other regions barring Europe.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) (“NFE”) announced today the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Islamic Republic of Mauritania for the development of an Energy Hub, including natural gas, power, liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and blue ammonia, utilizing existing offshore gas reserves off the coast of Mauritania.


Under the MOU, NFE will deploy its innovative “Fast LNG” liquefaction technology to produce LNG in the Atlantic coastal basin offshore Mauritania for local gas and power markets as well as international exports. NFE will supply natural gas to both the existing 180MW Somolec Power Plant and a new 120MW combined cycle power plant that will be developed.

“The production of liquefied natural gas from these fields with our innovative Fast LNG liquefiers will help accelerate the global transition to cleaner fuels,” said Wes Edens, Chairman and CEO of NFE. “Supply of natural gas and modern power infrastructure will also help bring more affordable, reliable and cleaner power to support industrial development and sustainable economic growth in Mauritania and, at the same time, unlock the country’s potential to be a top exporter of clean LNG and blue ammonia.”

NFE’s “Fast LNG” liquefaction design pairs the latest advancements in modular, midsize liquefaction technology with jack up rigs or similar floating infrastructure to enable a much lower cost and faster deployment schedule than today’s floating liquefaction vessels. NFE is in advanced discussions for the deployment of this technology in several other markets around the world, including offshore United States.

The natural gas production and power infrastructure in Mauritania will support industrial development and reduce emissions and pollution by providing a cleaner, affordable and reliable alternative to oil-based fuels.

The MOU is non-binding on the parties and actual terms of any future definitive agreement may differ from the terms of the MOU.

About New Fortress Energy

New Fortress Energy is a global energy infrastructure company founded to help accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy. The company funds, builds and operates natural gas infrastructure and logistics to rapidly deliver fully integrated, turnkey energy solutions that enable economic growth, enhance environmental stewardship and transform local industries and communities.
