• Coyuchi is currently accepting investments under its Regulation A+ offering and is approaching the $1 million milestone
• KingsCrowd has published a review on Coyuchi, highlighting the company’s strengths and future industry challenges to be met
• The report discusses how few individuals are better suited to run a sustainable company than CEO Eileen Mockus, given her background in working in the sustainable fabrics industry
• Research shows that more consumers are drawn to products that offer sustainability, and will pay more for those products over name brands

Coyuchi, an organic luxury bed, bath, and apparel company setting the gold standard for sustainably produced luxury home goods, is pleased to announce that KingsCrowd, an investor analyst news publication for startup investing, has published a review on the company. The report focuses on Coyuchi’s strengths and the journey necessary for the company to reach unicorn status to provide decent returns to its investors under its Regulation A+ offering. In the KingsCrowd report, titled Coyuchi Is Sewing Sustainability Into Home Goods; author Francis Vu points out that consumers across the board are trying to shop and live more sustainably – and since inception, Coyuchi has made sustainability a core value in its company. Vu mentions that few individuals are better suited to run a company like Coyuchi than the company’s CEO, Eileen Mockus. Eileen began her career in fabric development at Patagonia, one of the few companies focused on creating sustainable consumer products. She currently sits on the board of the Sustainable Cotton Project and Accelerating Circularity. Coyuchi consumers can return used goods through the company’s “2nd Home Take Back” program, which recycles and renews used Coyuchi linens and cleans, mends, and resells refurbished products. These products are sold for 35% to 40% of the original retail price – any products that cannot be renewed are then recycled and used in the company’s cotton blanket product. The Coyuchi cotton blanket is the company’s first fully circular product that uses 52% recycled Coyuchi cotton and 48% new material. Visible growth over the company’s 30-year history is attributed to its simple yet effective approach – producing high-quality, sustainable products using strong branding strategies. Since Eileen took over the company, Coyuchi has seen an annual growth rate of 42%, which will help as it pursues expansion into brick-and-mortar business avenues in the future. Vu’s review of the company presents mixed feelings as Coyuchi moves forward, not only with expansion efforts but as it takes on new investors through its Regulation A+ offering. Retailers find that more consumers are looking for sustainable products, yet very few retailers answer this call. Across all generations, consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products over brand names. As Gen Z’s consumer influence continues to grow, the necessity for more sustainable product selections grows along with it. This trend will only continue to increase as the younger Gen Z members enter adulthood, outnumbering Gen X and Baby Boomer populations. By 2030, Gen Z will represent 27% of the world’s income, surpassing Millennials by 2031 (https://ibn.fm/rkHbf).

• Vision Energy in October 2022 announced it had completed conceptual layouts for its Green Energy Hub project in Vlissingen, the Netherlands
• The company in September 2022 announced its commitment to an additional 5.19 acres, expanding its Green Energy Hub project footprint to a total of 40.53 acres
• Vision Energy is on schedule to file for the remaining construction and environmental permits for its Green Energy Hub project by December 2022
• Current hydrogen demand projections for northwest Europe outstrip scheduled production for the next five to 10 years

Vision Energy (OTCQB: VIHDD) (“Vision Energy”) is a forward-looking energy company developing carbon reduced solutions for the commercial, industrial and transportation sectors. Vision Energy is leveraging its team’s proven track-record in site and asset procurement, accelerating development and permitting processes, plant design, and grid integration to facilitate low-carbon energy production, supply and distribution. The company is pursuing reliable offtake relationships and operating partnerships with energy industry participants and end users seeking carbon abatements across feedstock and fuels. Vision Energy is committed to providing low carbon energy solutions with maximized yield, with projects designed to exploit existing gas and power infrastructure, to integrate and facilitate import and/or distribution of reduced-carbon energy to domestic and global supply chains. The company believes that hydrogen and liquid carriers of hydrogen are the most reliable alternatives to fossil fuels. Hydrogen is anticipated by many energy analysts to become more widely competitive as an alternative mobile energy source as early as 2030, as economies of scale drive down costs. According to the International Energy Agency report ‘Hydrogen in North-Western Europe (2021)’, the region is well placed to lead hydrogen adoption as a clean energy source. Today, this region comprises approximately 5% of global hydrogen demand and 60% of European demand. Moreover, the region is home to the largest industrial ports in Europe, where much of this hydrogen demand is located, and presents a well-developed natural gas infrastructure connecting these ports with other industrial hubs. This gas network could be partially repurposed to facilitate hydrogen delivery from production sites to demand centers. Governments in this region also have ambitious goals for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and there is strong political interest in hydrogen as a pathway to maintaining industrial activity in the region. Vision Energy is based in Jersey City, New Jersey. Projects Through wholly owned subsidiary Evolution Terminals BV, Vision Energy is pioneering a Green Energy Hub development project for the import, storage and distribution of low-carbon renewable fuels and hydrogen carriers, strategically located in the North Sea port of Vlissingen at the mouth of the Westerschelde estuary in the Netherlands. This Green Energy Hub is positioned to be the first terminal in Europe focused on green and low-carbon energy products. Vision Energy is at an advanced stage of planning for the construction of its Green Energy Hub and is on schedule to file for the remaining construction and environmental permits by December 2022. The Green Energy Hub design is capable of receiving seagoing vessels, barges and coasters, served by a dedicated deep-water jetty as well as rail and truck loading infrastructure that will enable direct access to purpose-built storage and handling facilities for low-carbon fuels and hydrogen carriers, including ammonia, methanol and liquid organics. Phase 1 capital expense is estimated at approximately €450 million, including jetty infrastructure, and will provide for up to 400,000 cubic meters (“CBM”) of storage capacity with land already secured for future expansion. Market Opportunity In Northwestern Europe, the market for green hydrogen, or hydrogen produced by renewable energy, is growing rapidly. The current hydrogen demand projections outstrip the scheduled production for the next five to 10 years. The company believes that all producers will face high demand. Moving beyond its initial Green Energy Hub, Vision Energy is focused on countries where governments support a regulatory standard that promotes hydrogen production and consumption. Many governments have established various incentives and financial mechanisms to accelerate and promote the use of hydrogen as a renewable energy source. The EU, through its European Green Deal, has set an objective to become climate-neutral by 2050, implying the near total phase-out of fossil fuels in the EU energy system, and many countries are working to put in place subsidy programs for the development of green hydrogen facilities in anticipation of this goal. Vision Energy projects its total addressable market at €10 billion by 2050. Management Team Andrew Hromyk is CEO of Vision Energy. He has supported and operated chemical and energy operations in the Permian Basin, central and south Texas, Arkansas, Alberta and internationally. An active investor, he has been involved with companies developing a diverse range of technologies, from enhanced and conventional hydrocarbon recovery processes to wireless infrastructure. He has participated in numerous industrial and commercial real estate developments. He also has served as a director of several private companies that became publicly traded on Nasdaq, NYSE and TSX. He studied economics at Chaminade University and the University of British Columbia. Arron Smyth is Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Vision Energy. He has more than 18 years of experience in financial services, investment banking, business leadership and operations in both developed and emerging markets. Since 2018, he has been Managing Director Europe for the First Finance group of companies, developing and supporting the group’s private equity investments and projects, including Evolution Terminals, the Netherlands-based developer of tank terminal and port infrastructure for the bulk storage and handling of clean and sustainable energy products. Matthew Hidalgo is CFO of Vision Energy. He has over 15 years of experience in accounting, operations, finance, corporate restructuring and integrating acquisitions. He is a Managing Partner at Turquino Equity LLC, a private equity investment firm. Formerly, he was the controller and operations manager for the largest subsidiary of WPCS International Incorporated, managing over $30 million in annual revenue. Prior roles included managing accounting functions for several Australian subsidiaries. After graduating from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, he began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers. For more information, visit the company’s website at https://visionenergy.com/.

• Odyssey filed for US and global patent protection on its novel breath-propelled, intranasal brain-drug delivery device that effectively deposits concentrated drug deep into the nasal cavity for the treatment of CNS injury disease or disorder
• The application follows the successful completion of the second Cohort of Odyssey’s Phase I MAD clinical trial, which saw the effective use of the device and a proven safety profile for the company’s concussion pharmaceutical treatment
• Michael Redmond, the company’s CEO, has expressed the company’s pleasure in the functionality of the device, citing how it provides a significant opportunity and advantage for the treatment of neurological conditions
• The patent application bolsters Odyssey’s growing list of medical devices, which currently comprise a CardioMap, a heart monitoring and screening device, as well as Save-A-Life, a handheld choking rescue device

Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a medical enterprise focused on unique, life-saving medical products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs, just announced filing for the United States and global patent protection on its novel breath-propelled, intranasal brain-drug delivery device. This comes on the heels of the successful completion of the second Cohort of its Phase I Multi-Day Ascending Dosing (“MAD”) clinical trial, which saw the successful use of the device, and a proven safety profile of the company’s concussion pharmaceutical treatment. “Following the completion of this Phase I trial, I am very pleased with the safety profile of our concussion pharmaceutical treatment,” noted Michael Redmond, Odyssey’s CEO. “I’m equally pleased that the intranasal drug/device combination has functioned nicely and has been easy to operate in the clinical setting,” he added (https://ibn.fm/0Gf75). The Nasal Device was designed to create an adequate airflow for depositing concentrated drug deep into the nasal cavity and onto the olfactory region for quick and direct diffusion into the brain to treat central nervous system (“CNS”) injury, disease, or disorder. The concussion drug candidate is designed to be administered within a few minutes of a concussive episode, thereby inducing intracellular steroid receptors in brain cells and activating multiple gene response elements that reduce swelling, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the brain. This, in turn, restores proper blood flow to the brain while also avoiding drug-induced fatigue or cognitive decline associated with the prolonged use of drugs associated with concussion treatment (https://ibn.fm/mHCkO). The patent application bolsters Odyssey’s growing list of medical devices that currently comprise a CardioMap – a heart monitoring and screening device for early detection of coronary artery disease, as well as Save-A-Life- a handheld choking rescue device. Mr. Redmond has expressed the company’s pleasure in the functionality and performance of the Nasal Device, citing how it provides a significant opportunity and advantage for treating neurological conditions. “We were very pleased with the functionality and performance of the Nasal Device during the Phase I study and its administration of Odyssey’s concussion drug. The ability to get drugs for neurological conditions delivered directly into the brain rapidly at effective levels while simultaneously having less concern for side effects is a huge advantage in the development of safe and efficacious treatments,” he noted. “Odyssey’s novel Nasal Device provides that opportunity and advantage,” he added (https://ibn.fm/RBlhR). Odyssey is still identifying Phase II trial sites and structuring the study design with the site’s medical leadership and the Odyssey Medical Advisors. The company looks to make further use of the Nasal Device in this phase of the study, while also building on the success of the previous research as it works towards approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

• In June 2020, CNS’ lead drug candidate, Berubicin, received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA. In June 2021, it received Fast Track designation following positive results from an extensive clinical study that saw 44% of the patients post a clinical response, with one Durable Complete Response
• With GBM having a survival rate of only 6.8% and an average length of survival of only eight months, Berubicin is showing tremendous potential, and CNS is leading the charge to find a potential treatment option for the disease
• CNS’ management is optimistic about its lead drug candidate and continues to explore the potential treatment of other conditions such as lymphomas, lung and breast cancers

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a clinical stage biotechnology company, recognizes the growing problem of metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. More importantly, it recognizes how few and largely ineffective current solutions are available, ultimately contributing to higher mortality rates and a poor quality of life for victims with such conditions. This understanding led to the introduction of Berubicin, the company’s lead drug candidate aimed at treating Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”), with the potential to also deal with other central nervous system malignancies. In June 2020, Berubicin received Orphan Drug designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Fast Track designation in June 2021. These designations came in the wake of positive results following an extensive clinical study in which 44% of patients showed a clinical response of stable disease or better, with one Durable Complete Response. This was a huge milestone for the industry, particularly since over 10,000 individuals with GBM succumb to the disease annually, given its five-year survival rate of only 6.8%. In addition, the condition has an average length of survival for patients of only eight months (https://ibn.fm/mzJy3). “Against the backdrop of statistics that show the aggressiveness of GBM, CNS is leading the charge to find a potential treatment option for the disease,” notes a recent article (https://ibn.fm/8z75X). CNS’ Berubicin, an anthracycline chemotherapy agent, has appeared to demonstrate, based on limited clinical data, the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier to target tumors directly. This has set it apart from other more mainstream anthracyclines, allowing it to achieve more significant outcomes and a potential solution for patients with GBM and other brain tumors. According to the American Cancer Society, about 25,050 malignant tumors of the brain and spinal code will be diagnosed in the United States in 2022 alone. In addition, the society projects that about 18,280 people will die from brain and spinal cord tumors this year (https://ibn.fm/ldQYJ). Cancer.net further projects that about 4,170 children under the age of 15 will also be diagnosed with a brain or CNS tumor this year in the United States (https://ibn.fm/GYQ57). With such numbers, one would understand why CNS received its Fast Track designation from the FDA. Its research so far is the most promising in treating such conditions. Berubicin could potentially help save thousands of people every year and reduce such conditions as GBM to treatable and manageable ailments. CNS’ management is optimistic about prospects for its lead drug candidate. It continues to explore the potential treatment of other conditions such as lymphomas, lung and breast cancers. The company is also expanding its global presence, having already received clinical approvals in Switzerland, France, and Spain. It expects to utilize the Fast Track designation to build on the studies conducted so far to achieve its organizational goals and offer a viable treatment for patients with GBM. “Our focus and priorities remain on advancing our clinical development program for Berubicin to ultimately bring meaningful treatment to GBM patients, families and clinicians, who currently have extremely limited and often ineffective treatment options,” notes John Climaco, CNS’ Chief Executive officer (“CEO”) (https://ibn.fm/IdOem).

• Freight Technologies recently announced receipt of a two-year commitment from Kimberly Clark De Mexico, SAB de CV (“KCM”), that will significantly expand its Fr8PrivateFleet product
• Fr8Tech introduced Fr8PrivateFleet at the end of 2021 through its wholly owned subsidiary Freight App, Inc.capacity
• The product solves shippers’ need to secure freight over time rather than on a trip-by-trip basis and provides carriers, who can deliver the shipper’s loads based on this criterion, with a steady stream of employment opportunities and revenue
• The two-year commitment is set to more than triple Fr8Tech’s capacity in the Fr8PrivateFleet product over three months

Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a company specializing in creating and providing supply chain optimization and automation solutions, and Freight App, Inc. (“Fr8App”), its wholly owned subsidiary, have always sought to create offerings that contribute to their clients’ success by improving efficiency and profitability. This operational principle is exemplified by, among others, the company’s technology solution for committed planning, Fr8PrivateFleet, which was launched late last year (https://ibn.fm/IuryE). Designed to help solve shippers’ needs to secure freight capacity over time rather than on a trip-by-trip basis and guarantee carriers a steady stream of revenue, Fr8PrivateFleet matches carriers who have the capacity to carry a predetermined amount of load over a stated period, with shippers. To take advantage of the convenience offered, shippers pay for the capacity they require, while the carriers commit to using Fr8Tech’s B2B marketplace, known as Fr8App, to operate all of their loads and track the progress of their loads.  Active tracking of the loads and their progress helps improve security for all parties. The advantages of Fr8PrivateFleet persuaded new and existing Fr8App customers to integrate it into their operations, among them the product’s first client, Kimberly Clark de Mexico, SAB de C.V. (“KCM”), and one of Mexico’s largest food producers (https://ibn.fm/hUYKs). Over the months since Fr8Tech announced KCM as Fr8PrivateFleet’s first client in February this year, the relationship has expanded significantly. For instance, in September, Fr8Tech announced it would support other logistics services for KCM in addition to offering the committed capacity planning product. These include dedicated truck service on the Fr8App platform, traditional spot services within domestic Mexico, and cross-border logistics for shipments from Mexico to the United States and Canada (https://ibn.fm/qarKR). In a development that further expands this relationship, Fr8Tech recently announced it had secured a two-year commitment from KCM to expand its fleet product. The commitment, once fulfilled, is estimated to triple Fr8Tech’s capacity in its Fr8PrivateFleet solution over the next three months, according to an October 27 news release (https://ibn.fm/6F1Yd). “It is very rewarding to receive this commitment, which we will begin to fulfill as soon as we secure the capacity required to do so,” commented Luisa Lopez, COO of Fr8App. “An attractive feature of a longer-term contract is that it secures a stream of steady business on our Fr8App platform over the term of the contract. As a company, we have invested a significant amount of time and resources in developing the Fr8PrivateFleet product, and it is very encouraging to receive a commitment of this size from such an important company in this segment.” Having dedicated time and money over the past year to expand its domestic freight and traffic offerings in both Mexico and the United States, Fr8Tech CEO Javier Selgas notes, the company “trusts that this is the first in a number of new agreements that we will secure over the coming months in relation to our Mexico domestic market offerings. We are only beginning to see a return on this important investment by our company and its investors.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Fr8Technologies.com.

• Solar is blooming; from 2020 to 2021, residential solar power grew by 34%
• In 2022, Americans are increasingly going solar for environmental, health and financial reasons: 8% of US surveyed homeowners have installed solar panels – up from 6% in 2019 and 4% in 2016
• GeoSolar is poised to capitalize on this growth potential with its SmartGreen(TM) Home system that helps American homeowners tackle both environmental and financial issues at once

In a world unsettled by rising fuel costs and heightened energy uncertainty, solar emerges as part of a potential solution. Consequently, the sector is booming, transforming from a niche investment driven by ecological rather than monetary factors into a new mainstream investment opportunity that seeks to achieve both environmental and economic goals. As a company offering technology designed to harness energy from the earth and sun to power homes without the use of fossil fuels, GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”) appears well-positioned at the front of what may look like an eco-friendly revolution spurring more and more Americans to go solar. Although residential solar power currently accounts for only a fraction of the total US electricity, the sector has continued to snowball over recent years. This includes a period of considerable disruption due to obstacles such as COVID-19-related supply chain challenges and import restrictions. From 2020 to 2021 only, residential solar power grew from 2.9 gigawatts to 3.9-gigawatt installations, which makes a 34% growth rate (https://ibn.fm/Tusig). With new legislation that enables larger investments in renewable energy and measures to address climate change, including a 30% solar tax credit, the industry is expected to accelerate its growth. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in January, before the announcement of federal tax incentives, reports that 8% of surveyed homeowners have already installed solar panels – a significant growth from 6% in a 2019 and 4% in 2016. In addition, 39% have given serious consideration to this possibility over the past year. Most homeowners said helping the environment and improving health were their motivations for installing solar panels or considering doing so, while financial incentives also played a part. But there is a long road ahead of solar, particularly for the residential segment of the sector. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), around 3.7% of U.S. single-family homes generated electricity from small-scale solar arrays in 2020 (https://ibn.fm/NfLiU). Compared to large utility-scale solar, which includes facilities such as solar panel farms, residential solar still generates less electricity-and all solar power together generates only a small fraction of the electricity consumed in the US. For example, last year, solar generated just 3% of all utility-scale electricity, dwarfed by natural gas (38%) or coal (22%) (https://ibn.fm/6dvof). Notwithstanding its small size, solar adoption in all sectors, from residential to the utility-scale, is expected to explode over the next decade. By 2024 only, the capacity added is expected to rise to a level five times bigger than what was observed in 2020. Due to its rapid growth, the sector attracts increasing attention from investors. It is estimated that investment in solar could reach $321 billion in 2030, which is almost double the figure of $177 billion expected under current policy, leading to nearly $3.5 trillion in cumulative capital investment in new American energy supply over the next ten years. As a readily available and renewable energy source, solar could become one of the lowest-cost energy options in the years to come. Confident that the world is in the early stages of what might be one of the most consequential transitions in human history — the shift from a fossil fuel-driven present to a clean all-electric future — GeoSolar seeks to lead Americans toward a greener future. Its SmartGreen(TM) Home system, designed for newly built and existing residences, offers homeowners zero or no utility bills and a healthier carbon-free living environment. With inflation soaring to the highest levels in decades and the threat of climate crisis becoming increasingly palpable, GeoSolar seeks to offer American homeowners solutions that help them save money and help the planet all at once.

• Lexaria’s HYPER-H21-4 human clinical study was a success, producing favorable results in treating hypertension when comparing the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) CBD with a placebo
• According to a Zacks SCR report, the findings support their $15 share valuation of the company
• Zacks expects Lexaria to penetrate global markets for hypertension, nicotine delivery and antiviral products
• The hypertension drug market is expected to grow to over $34 billion through 2030, with North America anticipated to hold 35% of the market share

According to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure), with only one in five being treated or under control. The hypertension drug market size in 2021 was valued at $25,394 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% through 2030, resulting in an estimated value of $34,072 million. The North American market is expected to lead with more than 35% of the world market share (https://ibn.fm/QQ33h). Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently released impressive results from its fourth and most comprehensive hypertension study, HYPER-H21-4. The study, structured as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study, dosed 66 male and female volunteers between the ages of 40-70 with stage 1 or 2 hypertension, comparing the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) cannabidiol (“CBD”) against a placebo. The study showed patients receiving placebo doses trended toward increases in blood pressure (“BP”) during the period of the study compared to baseline, while the average BP measured by each of mean arterial BP, systolic BP and diastolic BP significantly decreased from baseline when dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD; and those decreases were maintained during the full 5 weeks of dosing  – with no serious adverse events or hepatic changes occurring (https://ibn.fm/38KF3). Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology is designed specifically for formulating and delivering lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs and active ingredients, increasing effectiveness and improving the way that active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream. In 2021, animal studies demonstrated that DehydraTECH elevated drug quantities across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,700%, which initiated further investigations  and opened the possibilities for improved drug delivery. The benefits of using Lexaria’s patented technology include the following:

• Improves the speed of onset, with effects felt in minutes
• Increases bioavailability by more effectively delivering the drug into the bloodstream
• Increases brain absorption, with testing suggesting up to 10x improvement
• Reduces drug administration costs with a higher ratio of drug delivery

Lexaria announced the enrollment for HYPER-H21-4 in an April 19 press release, and dosing began ahead of schedule, with completion on July 27, with no serious adverse events reported as a result of the dosing. The maximum dose levels in the study were roughly 5 mg/kg/day, which is significantly lower than maximum dose levels practiced for other regulator-approved pharmaceutical CBD applications., The company will use data from the study to support its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the FDA. According to a Zacks Small-Cap Research (“Zacks SCR”) report, the company’s next steps for the hypertension program will be to submit and receive clearance for an IND application, and the application and IND clearance will support the start of the Phase Ib study slated for 2023 (https://ibn.fm/L7LRB). Longer term goals for the program are to find a partner who will advance the work to a registrational study and send it to the FDA for approval. While this is several years away, the data that has been released so far is supportive of further development. Zacks SCR forecasts penetration by Lexaria into global markets for hypertension, nicotine delivery, and antiviral product categories. The Zacks SCR valuation of $15 per share assumes a 2024 regulatory approval and commercialization of DehydraTECH CBD in the United States and developed markets – a valuation maintained throughout the report.

• While economies worldwide are struggling to control spiking inflation rates, REZYFi, a mortgage lender servicing non-traditional as well as other loans, sees unique financial opportunities
• Through the use of proprietary automated machine learning and associated technologies, together with preparations to launch a high-margin cannabis division later this year to serve an industry in need of loan origination options, REZYFi is working to grow its operation
• RZFI is licensed in more than 30 U.S. states and expects to expand its loan origination services to all remaining states in coming months

Economic challenges resulting from governmental efforts to tame inflation could in turn create new opportunities for hard-to-finance sector lenders, especially as mortgage rates eventually fall as recently suggested by CNN Business (https://ibn.fm/EBSYB). The fight against inflation has delivered successes in the United States — what investment bank Goldman Sachs refers to as “remarkable” progress in slowing the US economy and easing the concerning imbalance between supply and demand in the jobs market, though Goldman also warns against going too far in the inflation battle. “Fiscal and monetary policy tightening has so far managed to slow demand growth sharply without accidentally overdoing it and sparking a recession, an impressive achievement,” Goldman Sachs economists stated in a recent note to their clients (https://ibn.fm/7HK1I). Specialized financing company REZYFi is pursuing a growth strategy cognizant of the economic pressures, preparing to launch a high-margin cannabis division later this year while managing staffing levels and applying proprietary technologies for efficiency. The cannabis industry has historically struggled with obtaining loans and other bank services because of the U.S. government’s continued regulation of the leafy green plant as a highly controlled substance. State governments have created legalized avenues for the cannabis market in recent years, but the industry continues to hope for better financing conditions, such as those proposed under the Secure and Fair Enforcement (“SAFE”) Banking Act and the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (“MORE”) Act that have cleared the House of Representatives and are awaiting a decision from the Senate. The measures would prevent federal regulators from penalizing banks that serve the cannabis industry or decriminalize cannabis outright (https://ibn.fm/C25wP). For REZYFi, all of this has created a significant window of opportunity, of which the company has taken advantage. As a result, the company is now licensed in more than 30 U.S. states, with expectations to expand its loan origination and services to all remaining states.

• The federal government’s recent passage of greenhouse gas reduction financing opportunities through the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) has established the government as a ready partner in companies’ ESG policies
• The IRA has become particularly attractive to public, non-profit, and REIT entities because of changes to subsidy availability
• A low increase in global carbon dioxide emissions associated with energy use this year shows that industries are finding increased motivation to improve their greenhouse gas profiles

Progressive tech hub Seattle, where Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered, made headlines last month for an age-old problem — pollution, when Seattle, helped by wildfires, was briefly classified as the worst city worldwide for air quality and pollution, and was kept among the planet’s top polluters for a while even after it fell out of the top spot (https://ibn.fm/rploW). While wildfires and unusually hot, dry climate conditions were blamed for the spike in poor air quality (https://ibn.fm/LIRap), more than a third of the city’s persistent greenhouse pollutants are attributed to climate-unfriendly energy use by residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Efforts to curb the building pollution, not just in Seattle but across the Washington state, has led Washington’s Building Code Council to require heat pump installation in large and commercial buildings by July in a bid to increasingly electrify utilities and move away from carbon-based fuels (https://ibn.fm/9bgta). Clean energy solutions innovator Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) is committed to facilitating improvements in greenhouse gas reduction through correlated efforts by its subsidiaries to advise the commercial real estate industry (companies that develop and rent out commercial building properties) on opportunities to change their carbon pollutant output and then help them implement those changes with available financing solutions. The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) recently passed by the Biden administration is credited for opening up financing for a large number of pollution-reducing, climate-positive efforts through energy-related tax credits. Subsidies for energy efficiency retrofits and renewable energy installations are expected to be particularly useful for tax-exempt public and non-profit entities as well as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) because those entities have thus far been unable to find financial incentive to improve their ESG profiles because they don’t have taxable income for decarbonization tax credits to offset. “We can now take 20-30% off the top of capital projects that we would typically need to pass on. Reducing that up front cost opens up a new playbook,” the vice president of REIT Macerich’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability division told smart building tech community Nexus Pro last month (https://ibn.fm/QGc8f). Some climate activists have gone so far as to encourage the president to use “the full powers of the federal government” to require huge cuts to building emissions nationwide (https://ibn.fm/eJahH) but Correlate Infrastructure Partners is optimistic that the trend toward increasing ESG investment by the younger generation (https://ibn.fm/YHSVQ) is helping to motivate companies to  clean their own houses. An Oct. 20 report by Scientific American noted that global carbon dioxide emissions associated with energy use are on track to increase 1 percent this year but added that the 1 percent increase is “significantly less than what many observers projected earlier this year” and a landmark step in creating continued climate change solutions (https://ibn.fm/XjgSP).
