HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$XPRO #XPRO--Leading provider of energy services, Expro (NYSE: XPRO) has won the Hart Energy’s E&P 2021 Special Meritorious Awards for Engineering Innovation (MEAs) for HSE for VIGILANCE™.
MEA is the industry’s most established and widely respected engineering awards program. Each year, the world’s best new tools and techniques for finding, developing, and producing hydrocarbons are recognized. MEA entries are judged on their game-changing significance, both technically and economically.
Expro’s VIGILANCE™ safety surveillance technology tracks equipment as well as personnel movement through a unified, real-time system with 10-centimeter accuracy, and thereby addresses one of the industry’s main key performance indicators for enhancing safety for rig floor personnel, particularly for those working in close vicinity of multiple pieces of moving equipment, or the “red zone.”
The VIGILANCE™ technology solution is portable and is customized to suit any rig environment onshore or offshore. Unlike current anti-collision systems, which do not track personnel and are unable to halt the automated operation of multiple pieces of equipment in case of interference with personnel, VIGILANCETM tracks personnel and equipment based on set boundaries established for safe operational movement. The location coordinates for each object are monitored live and the ability to interfere and/or stop unsafe operations is executed from a single command and control system. In addition, audible and visual alarms and safety interlocks can be established based on different levels of moving or collision hazards in operations.
Jeremy Angelle, Expro’s Vice President for Well Construction, commented: “We are proud to be recognized for our VIGILANCE™ safety surveillance technology at this year’s MEAs.
“The development of safety surveillance technology is consistent with Expro’s Champion Safety Culture providing enhanced safety to both our and third-party personnel working on the rig floor. This monitoring system can also be employed to improve operations planning and hence rig efficiency.
“This is an outstanding achievement and it is testament to our commitment to safety, innovating with purpose and delivering extraordinary performance to our customers.”
Expro recently combined with Frank’s International in an all-stock transaction to create a leading full-cycle service provider. The combination brings together two companies with decades of market leadership, best-in-class safety and service quality performance, exceptional talent and global capabilities in well construction, well flow management, subsea well access and well intervention and integrity services. The transaction closed on October 1, 2021 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “XPRO” on October 4, 2021.
Notes to Editors:
Expro
Working for clients across the entire well life cycle, Expro is a leading provider of energy services, offering cost-effective, innovative solutions and best-in-class safety and service quality. The company’s extensive portfolio of capabilities spans well construction, well flow management, subsea well access, and well integrity and intervention.

Ambitious science-based targets set with 3-step approach to immediately reduce carbon footprint, company to leverage carbon offsets, overhaul processes, and align with leading climate experts
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unity (NYSE: U), the world’s leading platform for creating and operating real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced that it is achieving net zero carbon emissions now, starting with 2020 emissions, and every year thereafter. Employing a three-step approach, the company will immediately leverage carbon offsets to offset its 2020 emissions, redesign internal processes to lower emissions, and align with groups who are demanding better from the world in order to fight climate change, including signing on to the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) Business Ambition for 1.5°C.
According to the United Nations General Assembly, humans have fewer than 10 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released the first part of the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, which reported that climate change is here and will continue to worsen until humanity reduces its greenhouse gas pollution to zero.
“The science is clear and the time is now,” said Jessica Lindl, Vice President, Social Impact at Unity. “We know that this is just the beginning of a long, continuous effort to acknowledge and act upon the responsibility that we have as global citizens who share this planet. We recognize that Unity plays a critical role in a sustainable future - not just through our own commitment, but with the unique ability to support our customers using Unity’s technology to help decarbonize their businesses.”
In 2021, Unity conducted its 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline inventory, made up of direct emissions, indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and indirect emissions from business travel, purchased goods and services, events, and more. This first annual data collection resulted in a reported 38,400 metric tonnes of carbon, which is the equivalent of 8,400 passenger vehicles being driven for one year.
Unity is approaching net zero emissions in three steps:
In addition to the efforts being announced today, Unity sees the transformational potential of real-time 3D to drive real-world carbon reductions at scale. For example, Zutari, a South African engineering consultancy, is using Unity to create innovative engineering solutions that deliver real impact and enable environments, communities, and economies across Africa to thrive; Ahi Kā Rangers is an ecological mobile game, using Unity to transform a generation who have lost their connection to the world around them into stewards of the planet; and Sitowise is using Unity to create virtual twins, ultimately making cities more sustainable, safe, and healthy living environments for people and businesses.
In the past year, Unity has provided support to creators who are building content to make the physical world a healthier, more sustainable place. In collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme and Project Drawdown, Unity created the Unity for Humanity Environment and Sustainability Grant, focused on empowering creators who are using Unity’s real-time 3D technology to increase awareness and educate the world on the most critical sustainability issues. The winners of this grant were announced at today’s Unity for Humanity Summit and include:
Additionally, Unity is a member of the Playing for the Planet Alliance, a group of the largest companies in video games who are harnessing their collective power to take action on climate change. Unity was also a key partner to the United Nations for the 2021 Green Game Jam, which brought together 27 studios and platforms with a collective player base of more than 1 billion gamers, to create compelling content and actionable goals for game players around the world to have an impact on climate change.
Lastly, Unity has partnered with and funded universities and non-profit organizations whose work and research will drive real world change, including Western University, Project Drawdown, and Conservation International.

Performance Proppants' President, Bill Bowdon, said, “The Merryville deposit is strategically located to serve our southeast Texas customers in the San Augustine area. Nearly 100% of the annual 1.5 million ton capacity is currently contracted. Additionally, we are excited to begin the next phases of the Sunny Point project, which can serve nearly every operator in the basin. The Haynesville Shale continues to prove its resilience and stability when compared to other basins.”
Bowdon added, “We have been successful in securing new 24 – 36 month market share contracts with three of the more active operators in the Haynesville Shale. As always, our company is committed to providing our customers with low-cost solutions to their frac sand needs, and as demand for sand increases through the next several months, we are committed to building capacity to meet that demand.”

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: GCEH) has issued its Proxy Statement and Annual Report for its November 17, 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. The Annual Report contained the following Letter to Shareholders that provided shareholders with an update on GCEH’s vertically integrated Farm-to-Fuel businesses, including the status of the renovation of its renewable diesel refinery in Bakersfield, California.
President’s Letter to Shareholders
As we prepare for our annual shareholders meeting this fall, I wanted to send this letter to all of our shareholders to provide you with an update on our progress. Our team, which is now approaching 100 members, is working tirelessly to achieve our goal of building a truly integrated biofuels value chain business. Our Farm-to-Fuels strategy is well underway as we continue to invest in assets and people in our Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream businesses.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly welcome all of our new employees and new board members to the GCEH organization and thank our entire team for their outstanding work. To achieve great things, you need great people… and we continue to be extremely fortunate to attract incredible talent. Our team possesses world class experience and creativity, which translates into positive energy and a passion for our overall mission, strategy and goals.
Since my last update, we have made significant progress in moving our Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream businesses along, as well as progressing our corporate goal of uplisting our stock to a national exchange.
GCEH – Our progress includes moving our public listing up to OTC Markets’ highest listing level, the OTCQX Best Market, which is two levels higher than last year. We have pre-filed an application with Nasdaq, and our goal is to be listed on Nasdaq by the year’s end. To be prepared for Nasdaq and to position the company for significant near-term growth, we have put in place several key items:
Upstream – Sustainable Oils – This year, we have been busy developing both our Camelina plant genetics and our grower relationships, including the following:
Plant genetics – We have expanded our plant genetics portfolio and capabilities with the acquisition of Agribody Technologies, Inc. (ATI), an agricultural biotechnology company. The intellectual property (IP) we acquired in our purchase of ATI includes key patents that can improve Camelina yield and stress tolerance.
New Camelina Varieties – This year we applied for seven new Camelina patents and submitted six plant variety protection applications. We planted large commercial test acreage of these new Camelina varieties to demonstrate their commercial viability to our existing and expanding farmer base. These additional varieties will significantly expand our unique Camelina IP portfolio.
Grower/Farmer Deployment – We have entered into strategic relationships with several farmer cooperatives and other large agriculture-based entities to expand the grower adoption of Camelina through their existing grower networks in Montana, Kansas, Colorado and Washington. We will also continue to grow and expand Camelina production through third-party farmers in Idaho and Oregon.
Expanded Facilities – We are in the process of relocating Sustainable Oils’ North American headquarters to Great Falls, Montana. This relocation includes moving to a new state-of-the-art facility, as well as expanding our technical and commercial staff. The new, world-class facility is strategically located in the southern part of the “Golden Triangle” farming region of Montana. Our expanded team of highly experienced geneticists, breeders, agronomists, and commercial crop managers significantly increases our capacity for supporting our grower network. The expanded facility in Montana includes additional technical and commercial capabilities with the ability to support our large-scale acreage expansion of commercial Camelina production in the region.
Midstream – We are expanding the midstream segment of our operations to provide grain aggregation, processing, and transportation capabilities for our Camelina growers. To support our expansion in Montana, we are developing three grain aggregation sites that are co-located with an existing cooperative’s assets, CHS Inc., in the region. When completed, the new aggregation assets will leverage the resources of the cooperative to optimize our combined processing and handling of product at the facilities. Our goal is to be fully operational at our first site by the fall 2022 harvest.
Downstream – Bakersfield Renewable Fuels – Our downstream refinery business, which is anchored by our biorefinery in Bakersfield, CA, is on track to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2022. We remain focused on completing construction and are preparing to start-up our refinery operations in the coming months. We have continued to expand our relationships with the signing of a term purchase agreement with ExxonMobil for the commercialization of our ultra-low carbon feedstock supply and renewable diesel produced in Bakersfield. Our progress towards becoming the leading, lowest cost domestic producer of ultra-low carbon renewable fuels is accelerating. The integrated Farm-to-Fuels value chain strategy differentiates us from other renewable fuel producers, both domestically and worldwide.
In order to provide our shareholders with additional information regarding our business and operations, we have added our first Corporate Presentation to our website. We hope that the Corporate Presentation provides you with additional information about our business strategy and unique industry position, as well as other general information about us. www.gceholdings.com/presentations.
In closing, we are expanding our strategic relationships with world class entities, such as ExxonMobil and CHS. Together, we continue our pursuit of producing non-food-based feedstocks and advancing toward our goal of “net zero” emissions fuels.
We always appreciate the continued support you have placed with our Board of Directors' vision and in our management team.
Again, as always, thank you all…Watch us grow!!!
Warmest Regards,
Richard Palmer
President & Chief Executive Officer

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#DigitalTransformation--The world can accelerate urgent climate action and halve carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2030, according to Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, recognized as the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation in 2021 by Corporate Knights. Kicking off the Innovation Summit World Tour 2021, Schneider Electric Chairman and CEO Jean-Pascal Tricoire’s keynote advocates achievable pathways to net zero set out in the “The 2030 imperative: A race against time” report from the Schneider Electric Sustainability Research Institute.
Schneider Electric’s flagship annual Innovation Summit World Tour (October 12-November 12) will address global climate challenges and guide customers, partners, regulators, and policymakers on rapidly reducing emissions to decarbonize the world’s economy in this decisive decade. Attendees will experience Schneider Electric’s digital and sustainable innovation and learn more about Electricity 4.0 and Next-generation automation.
Urgent need to act fast to decarbonize
Tricoire’s Innovation Summit World Tour keynote urges attendees to adopt critical decarbonization measures and offers Schneider Electric’s own research as a blueprint to stay within a global warming trajectory of 1.5°C degrees. This report details the need to reduce emissions by 30-50 percent this decade, compared to current levels. Missing this makes it virtually impossible to limit temperature rise to a 1.5°C degree threshold as outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC).
The Schneider Electric Sustainability Research Institute modelling shows how 10GtCO2/y can be realistically and affordably abated by 2030. The report focused on a subset of global greenhouse gas emissions. Out of 50GtCO2e/y, “The 2030 Imperative” scenario finds a 30% (10GtCO2e/y) abatement opportunity from a 30GtCO2/y baseline of all energy-related emissions, a significant acceleration from current pledges (ranging around 3GtCO2e/y, which is 10% of the emissions reduction target). There remains however around 20GtCO2e/y of non-energy related emissions which is not covered in this report's modelling.
Schneider Electric is calling for a 3-5 times greater effort from governments and corporates. The Institute believes the only realistic roadmap for success is to deploy proven digital technologies alongside increased electrification as the fastest way to decarbonize buildings, transport, and industry. This approach buys time to address hard-to-abate sectors. Its modelling clearly shows alternative pathways will place too high a burden on consumers.
“Despite increased momentum around sustainability and more companies adopting ambitious targets to tackle climate change, this research reveals how we need to speed up. At Schneider Electric, we are uniquely part of the solution. To support organizations in their quest to decarbonize at pace and deliver on their climate commitments, we are accelerating the expansion of our global sustainability consulting services business to meet the increasing demand for meaningful progress on energy transition and climate action goals,” said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and CEO, Schneider Electric. “What organizations require today is a trusted partner who combines strategic planning and target setting with a proven track record of solutions implementation to deliver faster, tangible sustainable outcomes. Having successfully overcome many sustainability challenges ourselves, and in so doing, achieved world-leading digital and electric solutions in our own facilities, we are well-positioned to help others go faster and further.”
Strategies and solutions to decarbonize value chains
Building on its sustainability leadership and the ambition of the 2021-2025 Schneider Sustainability Index, Schneider Electric is accelerating its global sustainability consulting business and expand on a 10-year track record of success in energy and sustainability services.
Today, Schneider Electric is the world’s leader in energy efficiency, energy management, renewable energy procurement, carbon reporting, climate risk assessment, and supply chain decarbonization, providing software and consulting services to more than 30% of the Fortune 500. Customers include Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Faurecia, Kellogg, Takeda, Velux Group, Unilever, and T-Mobile, among others.
Increasing demand for Schneider’s “ambition + action” advisory services is behind this expansion, including:
Being part of the solution through digital disruption
As part of its ambition to drive sustainable innovation and build net zero pathways, Schneider Electric helps customers in many sectors to innovate and move to open, interoperable, digital, and simplified systems and smarter ways of doing business. At Innovation Summit World Tour, Schneider Electric is unveiling digital innovation for carbon abatement in homes, buildings, data centers, power grids, and industries.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#DigitalTransformation--Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and recognized by the Corporate Knights Global 100 Index as the world’s most sustainable corporation in 2021, has announced the acceleration of its global sustainability consulting business to meet the increasing demand of organizations making meaningful progress on their energy transition and decarbonization goals.
The division expansion will double the company’s existing consulting practice and include new services and digital solutions across sustainability strategy, climate action and risk management, ESG reporting and materiality, circularity, and traceability, among others, bolstered by enhanced growth in Europe, APAC, and the Americas.
An established leader
The announcement builds on Schneider Electric’s track-record as a sustainability leader and its own raised commitments and ambitious 2021-2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact targets (SSI), inclusive of a goal to save or avoid up to 800 million metric tons of emissions on behalf of its customers.
The accelerated growth in consulting will supplement the company’s 10-year track record of success in energy and sustainability services. Today, the company is the world’s leader in energy efficiency, energy management, renewable energy procurement, carbon reporting, climate risk, and supply chain decarbonization, providing end-to-end software and services to more than 30% of the Fortune 500, across more than 100 countries on six continents.
Schneider Electric is already one of the largest energy managers in the world by volume, managing, on average, more than USD$30B in global energy spend every year on behalf of its customers. The company is also the leading advisor on corporate renewable energy purchasing, having advised clients on the execution of more than 150 bilateral PPA agreements, for a total of more than 11,000 megawatts of renewable power, since 2014. The company’s clients include Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Faurecia, Kellogg, Takeda, Velux Group, and T-Mobile, among others.
Decarbonization reaches new urgency
The urgency to rapidly decarbonize was again reinforced by the release of the 6th report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in August. The report found that climate change has begun to affect every natural system to some degree, but that “strong and sustained” emissions reduction may yet limit the worst impacts of these planetary changes.
Businesses have increasingly recognized the importance of proactively managing energy and emissions to manage and mitigate climate risk. The disruptive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic heightened this awareness, with some calling the pandemic a “trial run” for how business and the economy may be impacted by climate change.
Further, as companies grapple with the impacts of climate-driven extreme weather events such as droughts, flooding, and hurricanes, investor sensitivity to climate-related investment risks has also grown. To date, more than 10,000 companies are disclosing their emissions to CDP on an annual basis, while more than 1,000 businesses have set science-based carbon reduction goals. A recent study by Pimco found that mentions of environment, society, and governance (ESG) on corporate earning calls have increased from 0%-1% from 2005-2018 to 19% in May 2021.
Pressure to decarbonize has particularly intensified for companies with significant disruption/climate risk exposure or activist investors, including oil & gas, financial services, commercial real estate, food & beverage, cloud & service provider, and those in hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and manufacturing. Many companies report feeling these pressures for the first time in 2021 as investors scrutinize their portfolios for environmental and social responsibility.
Yet, mounting evidence suggests that organizations are not moving nearly fast enough to align efforts with the 1.5 degree Celsius warming pathway recommended by the IPCC. The Science-based Targets Initiative recently found that only 20% of G20 companies have climate targets aligned to prevailing science. Further, Schneider Electric’s own recent global research of companies earning more than $250M annually found that only 29% of respondents have developed and published climate action plans, while 36% report that they will explore climate action over time (25%), or intend to maintain their current business model indefinitely (11%).
“We know that addressing climate change is the defining issue of our generation, and that businesses play a key role – but we also know that we must go faster if we are to avoid the worst impacts of warming this century,” said Olivier Blum, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer for Schneider Electric. “By combining our own experience in sustainability with our market-leading services in decarbonization and energy strategy and action, we can escalate the transition to a cleaner, greener future.”
Schneider Electric uniquely positioned as partner of choice for Net Zero
This increasing market need, and demand, for high-value skills and Schneider’s unique “ambition + action” approach to consulting, is behind its ambitions and enhanced capabilities. To date in 2021 alone, the company has launched four new services to meet this growing challenge:
The consulting group is developing additional services in circularity and traceability, and new ESG modules for the award-winning EcoStruxure™ Resource Advisor software platform to meet growing organizational demand for the expanded tracking of societal and governance metrics.
These new services enhance Schneider’s existing portfolio of digital, sustainable, and efficient solutions, including the company’s Green Premium™ product label and EcoStruxure stack. When taken together, Schneider’s solutions provide one of the most comprehensive paths to net zero emissions in the market today.
“We are seeing increasing market momentum as businesses set and work towards decarbonization commitments. But the current trajectory of emission reduction is still not bold enough, not fast enough. By growing our consulting business, we can help our clients accelerate this momentum,” said Schneider Electric consulting group president Susan Uthayakumar. “The decisions and actions of business leaders in the next decade will be some of the most consequential of our lives, and it is an honor for Schneider Electric to stand alongside our clients at the vanguard of this global movement for change.”

Enhanced System Reduces Emissions
HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) ("Valaris" or the "Company") announced today that ultra-deepwater drillship VALARIS DS-12 has become the first vessel in the world to receive the ABS Enhanced Electrical System Notation EHS-E.
Valaris upgraded the vessel’s electrical system to secure the notation, which recognizes sophisticated system design to improve reliability and enhance protection. The Valaris electrical system is specifically designed to allow the drillship to optimize powerplant performance, enabling operations on fewer generators and reducing emissions.
“With this enhanced notation, VALARIS DS-12 exemplifies our company’s purpose of providing responsible solutions that deliver energy to the world. I want to recognize our engineers, our partner ABS and thank our customer BP, for their support. This is truly a remarkable team achievement that paves the way to more sustainable deepwater drilling,” said Valaris Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Gilles Luca.
“It is great to see Valaris become the first to secure this notation, which recognizes their commitment to sustainable operations and investment in advanced electrical systems to increase efficiency. As the world’s leading global offshore Class, ABS is well placed to help forward thinking operators such as Valaris achieve next generation operations,” said Matt Tremblay, ABS Vice President, Global Offshore.
ABS has surveyed the upgraded system and tested it to ensure it can operate on reduced generator power. The short circuit and fault ride through capability was demonstrated on board the vessel with ABS in attendance.
The EHS-E notation was introduced in the ABS Guide for Dynamic Positioning Systems in October 2021. A copy of the guide can be downloaded here.
