CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Welcomes Proven Commercialization Leader to Its Board of Directors

  • CNS Pharmaceuticals recently appointed Amy Mahery, a biotech commercialization leader, to its Board of Directors
  • Ms. Mahery brings over 20 years’ experience, having worked with small and large companies, and has held diverse commercial leadership roles in the U.S. and globally
  • The company believes Ms. Mahery’s guidance, insight, and vast pharma industry network will indeed be invaluable as the company advances Berubicin, its flagship drug candidate, toward completion of its global potentially pivotal clinical trial and potential regulatory approval
  • The company recently completed the enrollment of patients in its potentially pivotal global clinical trial
  • Ms. Mahery believes Berubicin represents an opportunity to provide a solution for patients with GBM, the most aggressive type of brain cancer

With a fervent commitment to developing and commercializing a pipeline of anti-cancer drug candidates for the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) continues to advance its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, along the pathway to potential regulatory approval and commercialization. To boost these efforts, the company has enlisted an experienced, growing team. Recently, CNS Pharmaceuticals appointed Amy Mahery to its Board of Directors (https://ibn.fm/huSZ8).

A biotech commercialization leader, Ms. Mahery has built an illustrious career that spans more than 20 years. During this period, she has gained commercial expertise working with small and large companies in common and rare conditions, as well as across several therapeutic areas. She has held diverse commercial leadership roles in the U.S. and globally, spanning sales, marketing, and market access where she has been part of teams that commercialized and launched drugs in various therapeutic areas, from oncology and neurology to immunology.

In her current role as the Chief Commercial Officer of Roivant Sciences (NASDAQ: ROIV), a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company with a $9 billion market cap, Ms. Mahery is playing a vital role in facilitating Roivant’s transformation from a clinical development-focused company to an end-to-end biotech leader. She has worked to establish the company’s commercial operations and capabilities, efforts that have seen Roivant achieve profitable growth across its entire portfolio of over 10 affiliate companies called Vants. Ms. Mahery provides direct commercial leadership to the Vants during the start-up phase. Prior to taking up this role, she held multiple leadership roles at EMD Serono, Inc., a healthcare subsidiary of Merck KGaA.

“We are incredibly pleased to welcome Amy to the Board. She is a proven commercial leader with a wealth of knowledge and expertise amassed over the course of her 20+ years in the industry. As the company continues to advance Berubicin toward completion of its global potentially pivotal clinical trial and potential regulatory approval, her guidance, insight, and vast pharma industry network will truly be invaluable,” conveyed Faith L. Charles, Chair of the CNS Pharmaceuticals Board of Directors. “We remain committed to serving GBM patients in desperate need of a treatment, and look forward to leveraging Amy’s extensive experience and commercial leadership to assist in positioning the company for success.”

A strong supporter of innovation that brings value to patients, organizations, and society, Ms. Mahery lauded CNS Pharmaceuticals and its efforts to fill gaps in areas with high unmet medical needs, such as glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) treatment, saying, “I have been intrigued by the company’s pivotal trial design for Berubicin and was further compelled by the successful outcome from the recent interim analysis, the rapid pace of enrollment, and strong management team.”

Ms. Mahery believes Berubicin represents an opportunity to provide a solution for patients with GBM, the most aggressive type of brain cancer. Berubicin, an anthracycline, appears to cross the blood-brain barrier and kill cancer cells, as results from the completed Phase 1 human clinical trial show. The trial demonstrated positive responses that included one durable complete response.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is currently undertaking a potentially pivotal study of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM. The company completed in January the planned enrollment of 247 participants across 46 clinical trial sites in the U.S., Italy, France, Spain, and Switzerland (https://ibn.fm/dPOwp). The company remains hopeful in its efforts to address GBM and intends to take advantage of the extensive expertise of Ms. Mahery and other members of its capable team to drive success.

Zoned Properties Inc. (ZDPY) Seeks to Bridge the Real Estate Shortage for the U.S. Cannabis Retail Operators

  • Many Landlords across the United States currently face several obstacles in leasing commercial properties to cannabis-focused tenants, on the basis of ongoing federal restrictions that impact real estate factors such as insurance, financing, and permitting
  • Zoned Properties has sought to bridge this supply gap, with a portfolio of investment properties seeking to address the needs of the regulated cannabis industry
  • The company has recently announced plans to refocus its investment portfolio towards direct-to-consumer retail properties, simultaneously revealing their intentions to market one of their cultivation-oriented sites for sale
  • Zoned Properties recently revealed that 3Q2023 revenues had risen by 17.2% YoY, whilst guiding for estimated full year rental revenues of $2.5 million over the course of 2024

In 2021, New York state officially legalized the usage of marijuana for recreational purposes; nevertheless, and nearly three years on from the landmark decision, cannabis supply for retail consumers remains painfully constrained. In April 2023, plans to build out a recreational cannabis dispensary in Harlem’s 125th street was thwarted by a lawsuit filed by a prominent Harlem business group, alleging that the planned dispensary would contribute to social issues in the neighborhood (https://ibn.fm/cB54T).

Despite cannabis being legal in 38 of 50 states for medical use and 24 states for recreational use, cannabis linked businesses are still faced with significant obstacles when looking to secure commercial properties for the cultivation or sale of marijuana-based products. With cannabis still illegal under federal law, commercial landlords seeking to rent out a mortgaged property face the risk of being called on a loan if a property is used for ‘illegal activity’; similarly, landlords open to leasing to cannabis tenants could face constraints in the form of city-specific zoning rules (https://ibn.fm/4XEBB). It is this unique conundrum which Zoned Properties (OTCQB: ZDPY), a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States, is seeking to address.

The United States’ cannabis industry is expected to benefit from a remarkable 13.93% CAGR from 2024 to 2028, resulting in an annual market size of $67.15 billion by the end of 2028. With a decade of national experience and a team of experts devoted to the emerging cannabis industry, Zoned Properties is seeking to capitalize on the industry’s burgeoning future by targeting commercial properties which have the potential to be acquired and rezoned or permitted for specific purposes, including the regulated and legalized cannabis industry. Separately and in addition to its core real estate development business, the company has sought to leverage upon their considerable commercial real estate expertise within their brokerage business in recent years; since 2021, Zoned Properties Brokerage has closed upwards of $80 million in commercial real estate deals nationally for clients.

Zoned Properties maintains a portfolio of six investment properties located across Arizona, Michigan and Illinois; with each of its leased properties occupied by commercial cannabis-linked businesses. The company currently enjoys a 100% occupancy rate with a weighted average lease term of over 10 years. In addition to maintaining four properties leased and repurposed as regulated cannabis retail dispensaries, the company leases two properties which are operated as regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facilities. Nonetheless, the company has recently sought to refocus its investment portfolio towards direct-to-consumer properties located in states boasting both, a regulated and legal domestic cannabis industry and robust underlying cannabis consumer demand; in doing so, Zoned Properties has announced that it now considers its cultivation sites as legacy properties, reserving the optionality to potentially sell or leverage these holdings to unlock equity to be deployed towards its core business.

Considering its reaffirmed commercial priorities, Zoned Properties recently revealed that the company has listed its cultivation property located in Chino Hills, Arizona for sale at a purchase price of $16 million. A valuable yet non-core asset within the company’s portfolio, the sale of the Chino Valley property could help further streamline Zoned Properties’ portfolio and help recalibrate its real estate offering towards more direct-to-consumer focused properties (https://ibn.fm/WWgDm).

“As part of our ongoing strategic review to enhance shareholder value, we are very pleased to announce our intention to sell our Chino Valley Property. The Chino Valley Property, which we now consider a non-core asset to our investment strategy, represents a significant capital reallocation opportunity for Zoned Properties. We expect that, if and when the Chino Valley Property is sold, the non-dilutive proceeds from the sale would be instrumental in supporting the company’s future real estate portfolio acquisition plans,” commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Marks Huge 2024 Milestone with FDA Clearance for its Planned U.S. Phase 1b Hypertension Clinical Trial

  • Lexaria, a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently received FDA clearance for its HYPER-H23-1 clinical study
  • John Docherty, President of Lexaria, has regarded this milestone as a demonstration of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology’s overall viability, particularly in the potential treatment of hypertension
  • With HYPER-H23-1, Lexaria looks to build on the success of its previous human clinical studies, whose results have been overwhelmingly positive
  • This marks a considerable milestone even as the company looks to double down on GLP-1 studies for the 2024 calendar year

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, just announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has given it the requisite clearance to proceed with its planned U.S. Phase 1b hypertension clinical trial. This follows the company’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application earlier in the year.

The HYPER-H23-1 clinical trial, entitled “A Phase 1b Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DehydraTECH-CBD in Subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension,” will seek to explore the overall effectiveness of its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed CBD for the potential treatment of hypertension. The primary objective will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability in hypertensive patients, with secondary objectives including efficacy evaluation in reducing blood pressure and detailed pharmacokinetic testing (https://ibn.fm/ch6DA).

According to John Docherty, President of Lexaria, this clearance by the FDA demonstrates its technology’s overall potential, having met the FDA’s high level of regulatory scrutiny.

“This is a significant milestone achievement for Lexaria demonstrating, for the first time, that its DehydraTECH technology meets the FDA’s high level of regulatory scrutiny sufficient to formally commence U.S. registrational clinical testing towards possible future pharmaceutical commercialization,” noted Mr. Docherty.

Since 2018, Lexaria has conducted five human clinical studies for its DehydraTECH-CBD on 134 healthy, normal, and hypertensive volunteers. The results have been overwhelmingly positive, evidencing reductions in resting blood pressure over both acute and multi-week dosing regimens. The studies also produced zero serious adverse events, pointing to DehydraTECH’s potential to have pronounced clinical benefits relative to available anti-hypertensive therapeutics.

With HYPER-H23-1, Lexaria looks to build on the success of its previous studies, ultimately asserting the superiority of its technology, while also inching closer to tapping into the hypertension treatment market, which was valued at $31.76 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach $43.18 billion by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/Uror5).

“We look forward to commencing this important clinical trial and building upon the wealth of early-stage clinical data we have gathered and presented to the FDA to date demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and novel mechanistic performance of DehydraTECH-CBD in hypertensive patients,” noted Mr. Docherty.

This is a huge milestone for Lexaria and its team, especially following the plans to commence with its diabetes and weight loss animal study, coupled with doubling down on its GLP-1 clinical studies for the 2024 calendar year. All these steps reflect the company’s commitment to creating shareholder value and further developing its DehydraTECH technology, which has the potential to be a leader in its space.

Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) Advances Exploration Program, Closes Private Placement

  • The Canadian Shield hosts numerous nickel, copper, gold, and platinum group metals
  • Fathom targets high-grade nickel sulfide discoveries for use in EV and green energy markets
  • Fathom operates the Albert Lake Project and the Gochager Lake Project, both located in Saskatchewan’s Trans Hudson Corridor
  • Favorable results revealed from recent drilling at the Albert Lake Project
  • Company recently closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered offering, total gross proceeds totaled $4,571,063 when combined with the first tranche

The Canadian Shield’s rich mineral endowment presents abundant mining exploration and drilling opportunities. Covering a significant portion of Canada, this vast geological region hosts numerous nickel, copper, gold, and platinum group metals – both known and waiting to be discovered.

Fathom Nickel (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) is an energy metals exploration company targeting high-grade nickel sulfide discoveries for use in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle and green energy markets. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, FNICF operates the Albert Lake Project and the Gochager Lake Project, both located in Saskatchewan’s Trans Hudson Corridor.

The company commenced drilling at its fully permitted Albert Lake Project in early February 2024 and anticipates moving to its Gochager Lake Project in March.  There is a wide variety of data-driven and drill-ready targets at each project that will be drilled. Some targets are brand new while others are returning to previous targets with new knowledge on how to approach them. Time domain electromagnetic (“TDEM”), Borehole electromagnetic (“BHEM”) geophysical data, geochemical anomalies, as well as knowledge about subsurface structural controls have all gone into developing the drill targets for this year and Fathom is excited for the potential of what may be unearthed.

The Rottenstone Mine produced high-grade nickel, copper, and platinum group elements (“PGE”) from 1965 to 1969. Output at the mine reached impressive levels at 3.28% for nickel, 1.83% for copper, and PGE at 9.63 grams per ton, highlighting the area’s rich mineralization and potential for further development.

Albert Lake is a nickel sulfide deposit – a strategic focus for Fathom. Unlike limonite ore and saprolite ore, class 1 nickel sulfide is a preferred component in EV batteries, stainless steel, aerospace components, chemical processing equipment, electrical resistance wires, and turbine engines.

Investor interest appears bullish on Fathom’s prospects. The company recently announced that it closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered offering, comprised of flow-through and non-flow-though (“NFT”) units. Total gross proceeds from the offering totaled $4,571,063 when combined with the first tranche that closed on December 22, 2023 (https://ibn.fm/SXOvo). The company intends to use the net proceeds from the NFT Units for exploration, development, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

Fathom’s seasoned management team leverages extensive experience in the mining and exploration sectors. CEO, VP of Exploration, and Co-Founder Ian Fraser brings over 35 years of expertise with notable contributions to the development of significant gold mines such as Casa Berardi, Komis, and Cisneros. Doug Porter serves as President, CFO, and Director at Fathom, bringing extensive financial and managerial experience from roles held at prominent resource companies like Elan Coal Limited, Altitude Resources Limited, and StimWrx Oilfield Services Limited.

Freight Technologies Inc.’s (NASDAQ: FRGT) Fr8App Selected by Leading Packaging Company to Manage Cross-Border Shipping

  • Freight Technologies recently announced a significant collaboration with Envases Universales, one of the world’s largest packaging companies
  • The collaboration, anchored in a contract estimated to be valued at over $5 million, is intended to help manage Envases’ transportation needs over the next year
  • According to Fr8Tech, the contract demonstrates Fr8App’s commitment to delivering exceptional transportation services as well as its ability to meet the evolving needs of its clients
  • The collaboration with Envases Universales follows a Jan. 2024 contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico for cross-border logistics services

Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a technology company, recently announced that its custom-developed, industry-leading Fr8App freight matching platform has been selected by Envases Universales, one of the world’s largest packaging companies, to help manage Envases’ transportation needs over the next 12 months. According to the company, Fr8App was awarded 24 dedicated routes, mostly from Mexico to the U.S., through Envases’ annual 2024 request for quotation (“RFQ”) (https://ibn.fm/0E0rw).

Powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, and cloud computing, the F8App freight-matching platform offers a real-time portal for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping within the USMCA region. It seamlessly connects shippers with an extensive network of carriers and drivers, ensuring reliable and efficient transportation of cargo and optimizing logistics. Moreover, Fr8App uses innovative technology and solutions like live pricing, real-time tracking, fleet management, transportation management, digital freight marketplace, broker, and committed capacity planning to improve matching and operation efficiency.

According to the Feb. 26 news release announcing the significant collaboration with Envases, the awards, estimated to be worth more than $5 million, demonstrate Fr8App’s commitment to delivering exceptional transportation services as well as its ability to meet the ever-changing needs of its clients. Moreover, they underline Fr8App’s expansive network and ability to manage cross-border logistics efficiently. Over the next year, Fr8App will oversee the transportation of over 1,600 loads, ensuring that Envases Universales’ goods are delivered securely and in a timely fashion.

“We are thrilled to have been chosen by Envases Universales to help manage their transportation needs over the coming year,” conveyed Fr8App’s CEO Javier Selgas. “This collaboration not only speaks to our capabilities but also to the trust Envases Universales has in our ability to deliver exceptional service. It also highlights the importance of tactical collaboration between the companies in driving profitable growth and achieving excellence in dependable and efficient logistics execution.”

Fr8Tech nevertheless pointed out that the value of the awarded routes may change based on the needs of Envases Universales, as influenced by the customer demand, or the production output. The company, however, believes the likelihood of Envases Universales experiencing lower-than-expected customer demand or production levels – which may lead to adjustments to the number of awarded routes – is low. Fr8Tech bases this low-probability outcome on Envases Universales’ market leadership in the packaging industry.

Envases Universales is a leading global supplier of quality packaging solutions. The company specializes in the manufacture and supply of aluminum beverage packaging, PET packaging, and food and industrial packaging. It is comprised of 84 manufacturing facilities across the world (https://ibn.fm/VjXOc).

The collaboration with Envases Universales follows the materialization of a contract that Fr8Tech entered with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico, a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., for cross-border logistics services. Announced Jan. 16, the contract will see Fr8App orchestrate the cross-border logistics for Kawasaki’s iconic Jet Ski models (https://ibn.fm/prruE).

“At Freight Technologies, we take immense pride not only in what we do but also in being chosen by global industries to revolutionize cross-border logistics. This contract with Kawasaki Motores de Mexico is a testament to our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to a variety of industries,” said Selgas of the collaboration.

Sekur Private Data Ltd. (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FRA: GDT0) Seeks to Boost User Security Amid Attacks on Government, SMBs

  • Amid concerns about election integrity and the challenges of sustaining a remote-work environment, cyber-attacks on government and corporate computer infrastructures are increasing, including recent attacks on Canada’s national police and various U.S. agencies
  • Swiss hosted Sekur Private Data Ltd. is calling attention to its proprietary security solution, which includes a suite of products based on hosting in Switzerland, where IP addresses are protected from data mining under law as private property
  • Data mining through email is regarded as a significant culprit when it comes to eliminating the privacy of communications via email and app usage
  • Sekur’s 100 percent-owned infrastructure and technology include service solutions for email, messaging and VPN

As ransomware attacks against critical business and governmental computerized infrastructure continue on a global basis, cybersecurity and Internet privacy innovator Sekur Private Data (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FRA: GDT0) is advancing its proprietary solution for securing email, messaging, and operational data under a Swiss-hosted suite of private and secure communications tools.

Sekur’s suite of email and other tools protects users from data mining that is common to computer applications hosted by the prevailing corporations in the United States and elsewhere. Under the law in Switzerland, it is illegal for companies to infiltrate their own users’ data because the IP address is considered a user’s private property, Sekur founder and CEO Alain Ghiai noted in a recent interview.

“Every time you use a Big Tech solution, first of all they have all the rights to read and listen to your (communications). … I always tell people that when you give your phone number away to download an application, nothing is private,” Ghiai said (https://ibn.fm/uA3S2).

“Privacy and security goes hand-in-hand,” Ghiai reiterated earlier this month (https://ibn.fm/lRHS4). “If you don’t have privacy and you get data-miners, you sell the data of people, they’re going to be compromised by hackers. … We’re the only ones that have an off-the-grid, Swiss-hosted-only, our own infrastructure, our own coding, no open source, affordable solution for email, messaging, VPN.” Ghiai said the company is also pushing to develop voice and video encryption by the end of the year.

Ransomware attacks in which a malicious invader exploits cyber vulnerabilities to gain control of an organization’s computer systems and data, holding them hostage pending payment of a ransom, have increased in recent years. As noted by Ghiai, the attacks generally result from business email compromise (“BEC”) attacks that get an organization’s email users to unwittingly infect their system with computerized malware.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (“RCMP”) found itself targeted by one such large-scale attack last month, leading it to launch an investigation into the incident against the national police force (https://ibn.fm/aFLnO). Various U.S. government entities have also reported a spate of BEC attacks by an entity it identifies as TA4903 that is impersonating the agencies in order to lure targets into revealing critical financial information (https://ibn.fm/JAjZB), and TA4903 appears to be shifting its strategy to small businesses.

“Ninety-one percent of all hack attacks start with email, and it’s not just email phishing,” Ghiai told on Fob Business TV’s New To The Street in a new “Weekly Hack” segment (https://ibn.fm/b06AE). “We’re launching a small business plan to basically protect people from business email compromise because during (an) election year, there’s a ton of attack on small businesses and infrastructure.”

SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) Anticipating Increase in Demand for EM Solutions

  • Studies have proven that Electronic Monitoring (“EM”) solutions reduce reoffending within 24 months by 16%, and for individuals aged 30 years and under, it reduces reoffending by 43%
  • These solutions have also been shown to reduce criminal justice costs by about $30,000 for each eligible offender
  • With such benefits and the validation that comes with governments around the world adopting EM solutions, SuperCom anticipates a significant uptick in the demand for EM solutions

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global leading provider of traditional and digital identity solutions offering advanced safety, identification, and security products, projects an uptick in demand for Electronic Monitoring (“EM”) solutions. This stems from the growing realization and acknowledgment of the effectiveness of these solutions when correctly applied, having proven to reduce reoffending and criminal justice costs.

A study published by the IZA Institute of Labor Economics noted that EM solutions, such as SuperCom’s One-Piece GPS Tracking and Two-Piece GPS Tracking, reduced reoffending within 24 months by 16% compared to serving a prison sentence. It was further noted that for offenders aged 30 years or less, the reduction stood at 43%, with a sizable and significant reduction in reoffending persisting for eight years (https://ibn.fm/UmPwY). The study further noted that with EM solutions, criminal justice costs were reduced by about $30,000 for each eligible offender, significant savings, especially taking into account that the U.S. had roughly 1.8 million people incarcerated at the end of 2023 (https://ibn.fm/x5xPW).

Various governments worldwide have taken note of the effectiveness of EM solutions and have gone ahead and utilized them. Finland, for instance, deployed SuperCom’s Domestic Violence Monitoring Solution, an integral component of its PureSecurity EM Suite. The primary objective of this adoption was to empower the Finnish authorities, safeguard victims, and proactively prevent domestic violence incidents, ultimately enhancing the safety and well-being of Finnish citizens (https://ibn.fm/ZTLGv). In October 2023, Romania’s Ministry of Interior made the third order with SuperCom for its National EM Project to the tune of approximately $3.4 million, adding to the list of governments employing such solutions (https://ibn.fm/8WjSd).

With the number of EM solutions adopters globally slowly and steadily growing, SuperCom is positioning itself to take advantage of this growth. With the validation it has received from the secured government contracts around the world, coupled with the growing realization of the overall benefits of EM solutions, the company anticipates a growth in the demand for its products and services. Just earlier this year, it announced a new EM contract in California, having closed another contract within the USA in December of 2023. Ordan Trabelsi, SuperCom’s CEO, has attributed these milestones to the team’s hard work and commitment to improving public safety and supporting rehabilitation efforts.

“We are proud to see our new proprietary solutions gaining traction in new regions in the US, reaffirming our commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of electronic monitoring,” noted Mr. Trabelsi. “It is a testament to the hard work of our team and the trust our partners place in our technology,” he added (https://ibn.fm/ZYtqc).

Since 1988, SuperCom has been perfecting its product offerings, implementing new technologies that have helped it set itself apart from its peers. This proactive approach to research and development has earned it a significant market share globally. It has also helped assert the company as the leading provider of digital identity and electronic monitoring solutions to governments and private and public organizations.

As the conversation around the overall benefits of EM solutions continues to proliferate, SuperCom is confident that the demand for its offerings will increase, further stamping the company’s position as a leader in this important space.

Growing Emphasis on Environmental Stewardship Boosts Correlate Energy Corp. (CIPI)’s Distributed Energy Solutions

  • Amid a politicized backlash over corporate ESG responsiveness, investors are increasingly focusing on the E element in the acronym — environmental transitioning
  • Distributed energy solutions company Correlate Energy Corp. is an environmental stewardship-responsive company helping clients to adopt microgrid and clean energy strategies
  • The company recently completed the installation of an emission-reducing rooftop solar power project, billed as the largest such facility in Illinois
  • Correlate’s installation is expected to reduce about 18,849 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years while providing about 20 to 25 percent of the facility’s overall needs

Global asset manager giant BlackRock’s recent decision to scrap its Environmental Social Governance (“ESG”) investing strategy in favor of a focus on environmental-only “transition investing” (https://ibn.fm/X404T) represents a response to the “backlash against politicizing investment processes that are governed by legal obligations,” and stands to actually increase attention on companies that support energy-users’ transition to green energy alternatives.

Distributed energy solutions company Correlate Energy (OTCQB: CIPI) is seeing an increasing number of corporate clients partnering with its microgrid and clean energy strategies as the demand for resilient, clean energy continues to trend in the United States.

Correlate Energy recently completed the emission-reduction installation of a large rooftop solar power facility at Illinois’ Continental Envelope manufacturing plant, reducing Continental’s anticipated energy costs in the process.

The installation will supply approximately 20 to 25 percent of the facility’s overall energy needs and is estimated to offset about 18,849 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years, according to a company news release (https://ibn.fm/Vi6Ct).

An Accesswire report noted that other recent client contracts include a 3.8 megawatt (“MW”) installation for the global headquarters of EnerSys, a 5.2 MW expansion of work for Green Bridge Energy, and other projects for American Tire Distributors Holdings Inc. and Kyocera Corp. (https://ibn.fm/zETd0).

Correlate’s most recent quarterly financial filing showed operating expenses decreased while gross profits and cash flow increased, following on a huge jump in revenues during the previous quarter.

“Solar’s the most applicable technology. Right now it’s basically beating the grid for costs. We easily can do typically a 10 to 20 percent discount day one from what somebody pays their local utility for power, so that’s the lead horse,” Correlate CEO Todd Michaels told Proactive (https://ibn.fm/rmR35). “In behind that comes things like batteries, where if somebody wants to have resiliency — let’s say the grid goes down in Texas or California or the Northeast, which is very prevalent nowadays — things like storage can allow them to have 24 / 7 uninterrupted operations.”

Last month, Correlate also announced a partnership with Carbonsight (by Autocase), an online decarbonization planning tool for real estate portfolios. The agreement is designed to help building portfolio managers organize the relevant data for improving their green footprints, establishing potential CO2-reducing solutions and visualizing the scenarios for achieving their emission-reduction goals (https://ibn.fm/QnE9a).

“We are creating a powerful synergy that empowers businesses to navigate the transition to a low-carbon future with confidence,” Michaels stated.
