• Lexaria is a drug delivery technology company developing DehydraTECH-CBD as a prospective registered treatment for hypertension and potentially other disease states beyond hypertension
• The company has undertaken multiple de-risking hypertension studies that have not only evidenced that DehydraTECH-CBD is safe and well tolerated, but have also shown that it reduces blood pressure and arterial stiffness
• Hypertension is a leading contributor to deaths in the United States, damaging organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, yet only a tiny proportion of patients have it under control

Hypertension, an area of interest and focus for drug delivery technology company Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), has many harmful effects on the body, its organs, and overall personal health. Hypertension, or high blood pressure is a condition characterized by consistent exertion of elevated pressure – at least 130/80 mmHg – on blood vessels. This pressure, analyses have shown, causes the walls of blood vessels to become less stretchy or elastic, narrowing their internal cross-sectional area and ultimately damaging them (https://ibn.fm/UJNJ5). As a result, blood flow drastically reduces, and in a cascade of events, the flow of oxygen to the heart also declines. This has been linked to heart disease, heart attack, and heart failure. Nonetheless, the reduced blood flow does not only impact the functionality of the heart but also other organs, including the brain and kidneys. In fact, high BP is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States (https://ibn.fm/bPzVK). Despite their relatively small size, kidneys serve as the body’s filtration system – they remove toxins, extra fluid, and waste from the blood through filtering units known as nephrons. The narrowing of blood vessels due to hypertension, however, deprives the nephrons of oxygen and other essential nutrients, impeding their normal function. This causes excess build-up of fluid and waste in the blood, which can, in turn, elevate the blood pressure even further. At the same time, kidneys also regulate blood pressure by responding to the hormone aldosterone. Therefore, they trigger a further elevation in blood pressure if and when they cannot function well due to the above events. The various effects of hypertension point to the importance of keeping the condition under control. And although it can even lead to death and is, in fact, one of the leading causes of death in the United States, awareness, diagnosis, and management are still considerably low. According to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), about 46% of adults with hypertension are unaware they have the condition. At the same time, only about 42% of adults with high BP are diagnosed and treated, while only 21% of hypertensive adults have the condition under control (https://ibn.fm/7HhB6). These statistics are worrying in light of the myriad consequences of high blood pressure, which is why Lexaria has focused its attention on finding a safe and effective treatment. The company, which created a patented drug delivery technology called DehydraTECH that can be applied in broad use within the pharmaceutical industry, is positioning DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) as a potential treatment for hypertension. “Our biggest area of investigation in 2021 was CBD for hypertension and heart disease, and we enjoyed a very successful year in this regard,” wrote Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka in his 2022 letter to shareholders (https://ibn.fm/NOsVd). “This year [2021], we evidenced that human blood pressure dropped within minutes of swallowing DehydraTECH-CBD capsules, after just a single dose… At selected times during the 24-hour [HYPER-H21-2 follow-up] study, volunteers with mild to moderate hypertension averaged as much as a 20 mmHg (i.e., 23%) decrease in BP relative to placebo. This is a large response after a single day of dosing, and we were encouraged by these results.” In total, the company conducted three de-risking studies in 2021, with the third, HYPER-H21-3, showing that DehydraTECH-CBD reduced pulmonary systolic pressure by ~5 mmHg or 41% overall in male participants. Throughout all three studies, Lexaria evidenced no significant adverse effects with DehydraTECH-CBD. In July this year, Lexaria completed dosing for its largest hypertension study yet, HYPER-H21-4, reporting no serious adverse events (https://ibn.fm/pNtoa). Sixty-six patients were dosed in the study over five weeks, conforming to the company’s initial desire to evaluate a “large enough group to obtain reliable, statistically significant data and a long enough study duration to witness the true power of DehydraTECH-CBD in modulating BP.” “If this study is successful, we feel strongly that it will be highly supportive of our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing plan, and we will have a clear path toward designs of Phase I and even potentially Phase II FDA-registered clinical studies thereunder,” Bunka continued. Lexaria expects to release the results in due course. By developing DehydraTECH-CBD as a prospective registered treatment for hypertension and potentially other disease states beyond hypertension, Lexaria hopes to provide hypertensive patients with safe, well-tolerated, and effective medication to help them manage their condition, consequently preventing adverse effects such as kidney disease.

• The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) is set to boost the development of solar, wind, and big batteries, by at least 20% through 2030, with a target of 364 gigawatts of the capacity of solar energy alone
• BNEF projects that by 2030, solar power plants will have three times the capacity of all United States solar plants in operation in 2021, 21% higher than the initial forecast before the IRA was signed in August
• Correlate’s understanding of the renewable energy market, and the competence of its leadership, position it to take advantage of the ongoing energy transition and the opportunities therein

Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), a portfolio-scale real estate platform, is eying a significant growth potential in market capitalization in the coming years. Todd Michaels, the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), has lauded his team’s efforts so far and the progress that the company has made as it works towards being “the first profitable, rapidly-growing publicly-traded clean energy company.” A recent law signed by the President is set to boost the development of solar, wind, and big batteries by at least 20% through 2030. Dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022, the law looks to lower energy costs, increase cleaner production, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/KFq50). Companies such as Correlate are set to benefit from the Act in terms of tax credits for renewable technologies. They will also facilitate the construction of solar power plants with a target of 364 gigawatts of capacity by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/96dwu). Correlate’s understanding of the renewable energy market, coupled with the competence of its leadership, positions it to take advantage of this ongoing transition and the opportunities therein. In addition, it places Correlate in a strategic position to become one of the biggest beneficiaries of this energy change and a key player in shaping renewable energy adoption and usage in the United States and beyond. By 2050, installed solar photovoltaic (“PV”) capacity globally is projected to grow 20-fold, with the technology representing 38% of all electricity production. It is also projected that by 2050, in addition to the net zero emissions goals, the average Levelized Cost of Energy (“LCOE”) for solar PV will fall from the current $50/MWh to around $30/MWh, with individual projects costing well below $20/MWh (https://ibn.fm/lha7L). Correlate is looking to take advantage of this and become an integral player, not just in installing solar power systems but maintaining them over time for the benefit of the consumers. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (“BNEF”) projects that by 2030, solar power plants will have three times the capacity of all United States solar establishments in operation in 2021. This is 21% higher than BNEF’s initial forecast before the IRA was signed in August. Correlate looks to capitalize on this projected growth as it works to achieve both its short-term and long-term objectives while also playing a pivotal role in the energy evolution in the first place. Its management is confident in the company’s current trajectory and is optimistic about the company’s market capitalization growth. With an opportunity pipeline of over $100 million in commercial projects and more than $20 million in awarded backlog, Correlate is a testament to the overall shift to renewable energy sources, the viability of solar energy, and its importance in achieving the 2050 net zero emissions target.

• EverGen expanding RNG infrastructure across Canada with projects in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario
• RNG demand and pricing unpredictable in US due to carbon credit system
• Canada’s RNG companies have competitive advantage over US companies due to long-term offtake agreements for energy derived from RNG projects

Renewable natural gas (“RNG”) is considered carbon-neutral because it is produced by decomposing organic materials such as animal and food waste that otherwise would produce methane if left to decay naturally. In addition, RNG production does not pollute the air, water or land like traditional natural gas extraction methods while still being fully compatible with the existing pipeline system. EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), an energy company that is developing Canada’s RNG Infrastructure Platform, is leading RNG development by acquiring, developing, building, and operating a portfolio of RNG, waste-to-energy, and related infrastructure projects. The company aims to expand its network across the country with support from Canada’s energy sector – an environment that provides significant advantages compared to the United States. “In Canada, we can build infrastructure with certainty of long-term contracted revenue,” said EverGen Co-Founder and CEO Chase Edgelow in a recent interview (https://ibn.fm/73n3c). “This is different from the US model, which is reliant on carbon credits which have a pricing mechanism that can be difficult to predict.” “What’s unique about this landscape and industry in Canada comes from what we see as a really strong tailwind for our business:  the strength of the Canadian regulated gas utilities in terms of providing long-term offtake agreements for energy derived from these RNG projects.” EverGen is expanding nationwide, starting in the West with three British Columbia projects and one in Alberta. With a focus on the East, the company recently acquired a 50 percent interest in Project Radius – a portfolio of RNG development projects in Ontario that can collectively produce approximately 1.7 million RNG GJ/year. “When you add it all together, we’ve got a business capable of delivering $30 million of EBITDA from the portfolio that we have in front of us, and we see 25+ projects in Canada that could deliver 4x growth beyond that, said Edgelow (https://ibn.fm/WMarn). “There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity in this space right now.” Besides growing sustainable energy alternatives in Canada, EverGen is equally dedicated to achieving “Net Zero” – a global initiative to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. With Net Zero in focus, Canada’s natural gas utilities set targets to blend RNG into natural gas streams at a rate of 5 percent by 2025 and 10 percent by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/ElShD). Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, EverGen is an established independent renewable energy producer committed to a carbon-neutral future. The company currently focuses on building its network in Canada with the long-term goal of developing RNG infrastructure throughout North America and beyond.

• Net zero has become global economic matter with tangible financial impact as it increasingly enters investors’ risk/return equation
• Solar is well-placed to be one of the key carbon-free energy sources as business case for net-zero builds; more than 5,000 businesses and 400 large investors have committed to net-zero target
• GeoSolar seeks to position itself for growth amid flourishing demand for carbon-free power and robust business outlook for solar; sector could quadruple by 2030 and potentially produce 40% of US Electricity by 2035

Net-zero efforts have been spreading like wildfire. But achieving this ambitious target means balancing an equation between the amount of greenhouse released into the atmosphere and the amount removed by solutions for carbon capture and storage. When the equation is balanced worldwide, global warming will plateau. Since the global capacity for carbon storage is just one-thousandth of greenhouse gas emitted yearly, routes to net-zero predominantly depend on the world economy emitting less (https://ibn.fm/mfKVx). That’s where GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology company, seeks to leave its mark on the global movement for a net-zero future with its SmartGreen™ Home systems that leverage the power of the sun and earth to empower businesses and homeowners to achieve net-zero. Since no global authority has the mandate to enforce its implementation, net-zero efforts are still a patchwork of governments, companies, institutions, and non-profits committing to the shared vision of a carbon-free economy. The more that join, the more attainable the global goal becomes. Today, over 70 countries worldwide have announced net-zero targets, as well as more than 5,000 businesses and 400 large investors. But since its humble beginnings, the net-zero target has evolved from being a lofty aspiration of climate activists into a goal not only accepted across the board but one with a strong business case behind it. Investor pressure is one of the main reasons for companies to reduce their carbon emissions, believes Kirsten Snow Spalding, senior program director of the Ceres Investor Network, a network of 220 institutional investors managing more than $60 trillion and a founding partner of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative. Companies risk losing money due to carbon taxes and regulatory and reputational risks if they are not proactively working toward decarbonization. Similarly, there’s a clear case for homeowners to up their net-zero game to benefit from lower energy costs and enhanced energy independence. Solar appears to be one of the critical pieces of the net-zero jigsaw. Although currently accounting for around 3% of the US electricity supply, the US solar industry has been on a steep growth trajectory, with a 30% annual increase in solar panel installations in 2021 (https://ibn.fm/zkkNv). As a result, Rocket Mortgage – the largest mortgage lender in the US – has announced its expansion into solar (https://ibn.fm/Ct8MY), offering loans to customers looking to install solar panels amid a boom in residential solar (https://ibn.fm/FdIF2). This seems to be only the beginning of what looks like a rapid growth journey for solar – and GeoSolar appears well-positioned in the booming market that is yet to see explosive growth. The Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie project that the sector could quadruple by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/NhAB6). At the same time, the Department of Energy forecasts in its Solar Futures Study that by 2035, solar energy could power 40% of the country’s electricity (https://ibn.fm/6EVBh). GeoSolar seeks to position itself at the forefront of the solar movement to electrify the economy in the global bid to transition to the net-zero future. Through its revolutionary SmartGreen™ Home system, the Company strives to transform every aspect of the living experience by using the power of the sun and earth to heat and cool residential and commercial buildings, charge electric vehicles, and run electric devices.

• Automotive industry faces massive disruption led by adoption of emission reduction mandates, software-centric driving systems, and ADAS/AV technology
• Entering execution phase of higher levels of ADAS and AV technology with several OEMs preparing to build fully or near-fully autonomous vehicles ready for public roads
• Lidar complements camera-based perception technology by “seeing” things in 3D rather than 2D
• Cepton is taking lidar mainstream by engaging with leading global automotive OEMs to cost-effectively deploy lidar at scale

The automotive industry has faced massive disruption in the last few years, led primarily by the adoption of emission reduction mandates, software-centric driving systems, and autonomous vehicle (“AV”) and advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) technology. As a result, OEMs have redefined their business models to incorporate new products, adapt to growing vehicle safety concerns, and address increased consumer demand for a superior driving experience. Following decades of research and development, the industry is finally entering the execution phase of higher levels of ADAS and AV technology as OEMs prepare to build fully or near-fully autonomous vehicles ready for public roads. Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator of lidar-based solutions for the automotive (“ADAS/AV”) and smart technology spaces, leads the way in enabling the world’s leading automotive companies to integrate lidar at scale and transition to an increasingly adaptive, safety-centric future. Safety is at the forefront of ADAS/AV technology concerns, and the industry’s success hinges on the availability of perception solutions that accurately identify objects under various conditions. Dr. Jun Pei, CEO and Co-Founder of Cepton, recently addressed the issue in an article that focuses on safety hazards brought about by alleged “smart” features and how lidar has many capabilities that are superior to camera-based perception solutions (https://ibn.fm/BdRt9). “A few companies – the most popular being Tesla – have invested their future advancements in camera-based computer vision to address common driving scenarios and enhance safety,” reads the article. “As a lidar company CEO it is no surprise that I am constantly asked to comment on Musk’s view on lidar. Instead of treating it as an attack, I see it as an opportunity to clear up the common misconceptions around lidar technology.” Dr. Pei believes lidar brings unparalleled vehicle perception by “seeing” things in 3D instead of the standard 2D view produced by cameras. By being able to perceive depth, lidar provides additional information critical to maintaining vehicle safety and protecting pedestrians, structures, and other objects within the vehicle’s surroundings. “Let’s say there is a dog in the street. A camera will capture the dog’s color, but it can’t tell you if it’s a small dog right in front of you, or a big dog 30 ft. away,” continues Dr. Pei in the article. “Lidar will tell you how big this dog is, how far away it is and how fast it is running. It can even tell you if the dog is accelerating or slowing down. This 3D imaging capability is key to real-time vehicle perception.” Cepton is taking lidar mainstream by engaging with leading global automotive OEMs such as Ford Motor Company to make it a standard safety feature in all vehicles. According to a 2021 article by Ford, CPTN engaged with the company over several years for research, development, and small-scale deployments (https://ibn.fm/cPvFO). In addition to delivering custom lidar solutions for R&D on advanced ADAS features, Cepton also helped Ford deploy lidar solutions on select smart city projects. Cepton was established in 2016 by co-founders Dr. Jun Pei and Dr. Mark McCord. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California with a presence in Germany, Canada, Japan, India, and China, and has recently opened a Center of Excellence in Detroit. With a dedicated team of researchers and scientists, Cepton aims to make its patented technology mainstream to deploy scalable and intelligent 3D perception solutions that enable an adaptive, safety-centric future.

• California governor signs 10 cannabis-related bills into law
• Bills intended to “strengthen California’s cannabis laws, expand the legal cannabis market and redress the harms of cannabis prohibition”
• ACTX’s Grow Pods offer unmatched control, are capturing a great deal of attention in the cannabis and hemp space

As California Gavin Newsom signed 10 cannabis-related legislative bills into law — all in one day (https://ibn.fm/ge2Kv) — companies operating in the cannabis space, including Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), look forward to the impact this government support may have on their success. The governor signed bills designed to expand the legal cannabis market and address impacts from past prohibition of cannabis. He also called on legislators and other policy makers to redouble efforts to tackle barriers to access (https://ibn.fm/LnTNZ). “For too many Californians, the promise of cannabis legalization remains out of reach,” said Newsom. “These measures build on the important strides our state has made toward this goal, but much work remains to build an equitable, safe and sustainable legal cannabis industry. I look forward to partnering with the legislature and policymakers to fully realize cannabis legalization in communities across California.” On Sept. 18, 2022, the governor signed almost a dozen cannabis-related legislative bills into law “in one fell swoop.” The bills touch on issues that run the gamut of the cannabis industry and are intended to “strengthen California’s cannabis laws, expand the legal cannabis market and redress the harms of cannabis prohibition.” The most widely recognized bill of the group, Senate Bill 1326 gives the governor the power to sign cannabis trade agreements with other states that have legalized cannabis. “Other bills address employment protection, labelling, use of cannabis in veterinary medicine and taxation.” The full list of bills Newsom signed include the following:

• AB 1706
• AB 1646
• AB 1885
• AB 1894
• AB 2210
• AB 2188
• AB 2568
• AB 2925
• SB 1186
• SB 1326

This show of government support is almost certain to bolster the efforts of companies operating in all aspects of the cannabis sector. Advanced Containers Technologies is one of those companies. The company is the exclusive U.S. distributor for Grow Pods, which are advanced, self-contained hydroponic containers that are essentially microfarms. These containers feature a controlled, specially filtered environment that allows crops to be grown year-round with a smaller footprint, because the pods use less water and power than more traditional growing systems. Grow Pods offer constant temperature, humidity and airflow control, as well as automated watering and lighting schedules for optimal growth and minimal labor requirements, making the pods ideal for all crops. However, they are capturing a great deal of attention in the cannabis and hemp space. With strict growing, harvesting and packaging regulations in place throughout the cannabis industry, ACTX offers a controlled environment that allows for compliance in all aspects. ACT is in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling advanced cultivation equipment, proprietary packaging systems, and a variety of other products to help businesses and entrepreneurs enter or expand in the rapidly growing cannabis and hemp markets. The company has a keen focus on compliance and provides the expertise, technology and products that allows operators to grow their businesses and their brands quickly, affordably and with a rapid ROI.

• GeoSolar leads decarbonization movement by providing energy-efficient whole-building wsystems that run entirely on renewable energy sources
• GeoSolar’s SmartGreen(TM) Home system comprises solar panels, geothermal ground loops, LED lighting, upgraded insulation, energy-efficient windows
• Company conducting Regulation A+ capital raise with minimum $300 investment

Renewable energy systems that tap into solar and geothermal power have dramatically lowered or eliminated utility bills for some homeowners in Colorado (https://ibn.fm/723Ic). That is in stark contrast to skyrocketing utility bills that threaten the quality of life for families in Europe and the United States while completely destabilizing the global political system. The main difference lies in an ideology that seeks to work with the Earth rather than against it – a core tenet in the philosophy of GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”). By leveraging the power of the sun and earth, GeoSolar aims to lead the decarbonization movement with SmartGreen(TM) whole-building systems that run entirely on renewable energy sources. GeoSolar’s SmartGreen(TM) Home systems provide carbon-free, sustainable energy through solar panels and geothermal ground loops to heat and cool the building, charge electric vehicles, and run appliances. Additional features include upgraded LED lighting, insulation, and windows, and a comprehensive process to tighten the building envelope to save energy and improve efficiency. With options for both existing buildings and new construction, SmartGreen(TM) dramatically lowers utility bills, protects building owners from price shocks, increases property values, improves air quality, and reduces carbon production associated with climate change. Addressing climate change is on the agenda of global governments and corporations throughout the world. According to the United Nations, the Earth is approximately 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s (https://ibn.fm/K4U1l). To keep it from rising to 1.5°C, the organization states that emissions must reach “Net Zero” by 2050 – a goal GeoSolar is dedicated to achieving. GeoSolar appears to be ahead of its time on multiple fronts. After decades of use in powering energy plants, the United States government finally recognized the viability of geothermal ground loops for residential buildings (https://ibn.fm/1pitE). As a result, supporters in Congress included geothermal energy in the bipartisan infrastructure package passed in 2021, allocating $84 million to demonstration projects and hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives and research funding. GeoSolar is positioned to leverage the evolving renewable energy landscape taking shape across the country. With the goal of marketing the green technology to 120 million US homes, the company commenced a Regulation A+ offering that allows investors to participate with a minimum $300 investment.
