Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Potential Hypertension Medication Poised to Reduce Risk of Blood-Pressure-Induced Dementia, Cognitive Decline

  • Lexaria Bioscience is a global innovator in drug delivery platforms that has developed the patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology for improved delivery of bioactive compounds
  • The company is currently evaluating DehydraTECH-processed CBD as a potential treatment for high blood pressure
  • Long-term studies have shown that high blood pressure can increase the risk of developing dementia in later life
  • Experts, however, believe that hypertension medication could slow the pace of the cognitive decline
  • In addition to helping hypertension patients keep their condition under control, Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-CBD, which has so far been shown to be safe and well tolerated, could potentially help reduce the risk of dementia
Blood pressure or BP typically refers to the pressure exerted by circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels, particularly large arteries and veins. This pressure fluctuates throughout the day depending on the activity in which one engages. However, in some instances, it can consistently cross the normal threshold, a condition known as high blood pressure or hypertension. Usually, and based on a 2017 guideline, a person is said to have high BP when the top reading on the blood pressure monitor, which represents the systolic blood pressure, is greater than 130 mmHg while the bottom reading, which denotes the diastolic pressure, is above 80 mmHg (https://ibn.fm/b9JpP). The constant exertion of elevated pressure on blood vessels damages them by making them less elastic. According to the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”), this decreases the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart and other body organs. And it is this depressed blood flow that causes progressive damage to organs such as the brain. Long-term research studies have, in fact, shown that high blood pressure among people who are around 40 to 64 years old can increase the risk of developing dementia in later life (https://ibn.fm/gFrnt). One such study, which probed the relationship between high blood pressure and later-life cognition and was published recently in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that “people with high blood pressure levels face faster erosion of their ability to think, make decisions, and remember information than those with normal blood pressure levels” (https://ibn.fm/9iazB). And although the study’s findings suggest that hypertension causes faster cognitive decline, they fortunately also indicate that taking antihypertensive drugs could slow the pace of that decline, according to the study’s lead author Deborah Levine, M.D., M.P.H, the director of the Cognitive Health Services Research Program at the University of Michigan. But while hypertension medication is linked to such benefits, patients often shun them, citing their adverse side effects. The resulting suboptimal adherence to existing drugs has given rise to a worrying statistic – according to the CDC, only about 24% of adults with hypertension have it under control, yet the condition causes over 670,000 deaths every year in the United States alone (https://ibn.fm/6DfFl). However, one company, a publicly traded global innovator in drug delivery technology known as Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), is out to improve medication adherence and subsequently help prevent the cognitive decline linked to high blood pressure. For Lexaria and the hypertension patients it is targeting, the solution, which is still under development and evaluation, lies in DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”). In isolation, CBD has exhibited vasodilatory and antioxidant properties in humans and animals (https://ibn.fm/tEpkA). Its positive effects on blood pressure have also been documented in various research articles, with one such study, which sampled 26 healthy males who were given 600 mg of CBD or placebo orally for seven days, finding that CBD reduces blood pressure at rest after a single dose, although the effect is lost after seven days of treatment. Still, the study showed that CBD resulted in prolonged BP reduction during stressful situations (https://ibn.fm/40Qno). These positive results notwithstanding, CBD is known to have a low oral bioavailability – the proportion of the ingested drug that enters the circulation. According to various reports, the oral bioavailability of CBD stands at approximately 6% (https://ibn.fm/NUUjt), suggesting that users could potentially extract greater BP-related benefits.  For Lexaria, which had developed and patented the DehydraTECH technology that enhances the bioavailability and bioabsorption of various lipophilic active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”), this represented an opportunity that the company then exploited by processing CBD with DehydraTECH. In a 2018 study, Lexaria observed that DehydraTECH delivered 317% more CBD to the blood than controls. And since then, the company has undertaken multiple human clinical studies. In three of the four studies, Lexaria has evidenced that DehydraTECH-CBD results in a rapid and sustained drop in BP, causes a 23% average reduction in overnight blood pressure and reduced arterial stiffness, and triggers attenuated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (https://ibn.fm/WHdod). Results are pending from Lexaria’s largest ever human clinical trial, where dosing completed in July. Backed by the positive findings, Lexaria sought and held a pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) meeting with the U.S. FDA, whereupon it received positive feedback and confirmation that supports an abbreviated regulatory pathway in line with section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FD&C Act”). Currently, the company is undertaking requisite processes that are expected to culminate in the filing of an IND application later this year or early next year (https://ibn.fm/7XlMN). Upon submitting the IND filing and receiving a response from the FDA, Lexaria will have the green light to proceed with registered clinical trials.

Global Trend Toward Renewable Energy Adoption Strengthens Prospects for Clean Energy Solutions Provider Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI)

  • Fossil fuel sources have transformed the march of human history, yet have also led to a growing measure of pollutants
  • As pollution has generated global concerns about the affects of greenhouse gases on climate change, and corresponding effects on humanity, governments and their citizenries have increasingly sought greener solutions for energy consumption
  • Clean energy solutions innovator Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. is focused on helping to drive climate-friendly adjustments through the analysis of commercial buildings’ energy use and providing clients with surprisingly cost-effective solutions for energy optimization, allowing superior return on investment
Fossil fuels have dominated the energy supply chain for centuries. The transition from biomass energy production from burning wood to energy-dense stored-fuel sources such as coal and then oil, industrial productivity jumped along with population growth. “The world today is unrecognizable from that of the early 19th century, before fossil fuels came into wide use,” Brookings Institution energy researcher Samantha Gross wrote in a report for the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit public policy organization (https://ibn.fm/eMQLQ). “The fossil fuel energy system is the lifeblood of the modern economy. Fossil fuels powered the industrial revolution, pulled millions out of poverty, and shaped the modern world.” But the transition carried a hidden cost, gradually increasing air-carried pollutants, particularly as the world’s population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to nearly 8 billion today (https://ibn.fm/3z8TB). In recent years, world governments, industries, and consumers, have increasingly acknowledged the detrimental effects of these fossil fuel generated pollutants on the planet’s climate and have sought out greener remedies. Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), a growing clean energy solutions innovator, is focused on helping the commercial real estate industry (companies that develop and rent out commercial building properties) to achieve optimal energy use, without prohibitive up-front costs, while leading to a positive return on investment. Although reforms that reduce fossil fuel sources for generating electricity and transportation energy have historically met with adoption resistance because of fossil fuels’ convenience and established infrastructure, Correlate is optimistic that economic and socio-political trends clearly represent an increasing movement toward renewable energy sources that will define future technologies and use standards. The 501(c)3 energy reform nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute (“RMI”) released its “Energy Transition Narrative” report this year (https://ibn.fm/ps9V7), defining the potential for overcoming historical fossil fuel preferences through data showing the urgency of stemming accelerating changes to the world’s climate, opportunities created as a result of Russia’s war with Ukraine, the economic and human welfare benefits of increased renewables adoption, and evidence that those benefits are already resulting in the motivation to make change despite reluctance on the part of “incumbent” energy producers. Whatever the fuel source being promoted, our energy comes from the sun one way or another, as the Brookings report noted. “Renewables are, obviously, available everywhere,” the 2022 RMI report added. “Even if you massively constrain deployment, the world has annual renewable flows of over 100 times fossil fuel supply.” Drawing on data from the non-profit Carbon Tracker think tank, RMI’s report notes that the planet’s southern hemisphere is “super-abundant” in solar and wind energy potential as a multiple of energy demand, with more than 100 times the expected demand available in South America and Australia and more than 1,000 times available in most of Africa. “Solar rooftops alone could supply us with all our electricity needs,” the report states. “A new cluster of technologies can replace the entire fossil fuel system. … We have all the technologies we need (and) … we know roughly what to do.” For more information, visit Correlate Infrastructure Partners’ website at www.CorrelateInfra.com, including the following: NOTE TO INVESTORS: The latest news and updates relating to CIPI are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/CIPI

REZYFi, Inc. Helps Cannabis-Related Businesses Succeed in California Through Alternative Finance Success

  • The global cannabis market is expected to reach $27.7 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 24.3% through 2027, resulting in an anticipated value of $82.3 billion during the
  • forecast period
  • REZYFi is positioned as one of the first cannabis mortgage bankers in the United States, using its experience, independent network of brokers, and proprietary technology, to expand alternative financing options in the industry
  • The company is currently licensed in 36 states with plans to expand in the future
California began paving the way for cannabis-related businesses in 1996 when voters passed the Compassionate Use Act, legalizing the medicinal use of cannabis. Today, the state has legalized medicinal and recreational use and offers resources for businesses looking to gain traction in the industry. The California cannabis industry is highly regulated to ensure businesses operate safely, provide contaminant-free products, inform purchasers, and keep cannabis away from children. The state has established statutes, regulations, and ordinances that work together to build and protect the cannabis industry for businesses and consumers. Although cannabis is becoming accepted at the state level, there are still hurdles the industry must overcome due to federal regulations – primarily in the traditional banking industry. To succeed, businesses require the use of financial institutions to pay for expenses, save money, manage risk, finance operations, and more, financing which can be difficult for cannabis-related businesses to obtain. The cannabis market is expected to reach a global value of $27.7 billion in 2022. By 2027, research indicates that this value could grow to $82.3 billion at a CAGR of 24.3% (https://ibn.fm/lSklo). The market’s growth is attributed to legalization, with cannabis-related tourism expected to drive the trends of cannabis-related product offerings and destinations offering mass appeal to Gen Z consumers. REZYFi, a growth mortgage origination and specialized financing company, is positioned as one of the first cannabis mortgage bankers in the US, an area most traditional lenders are reticent to serve. The company operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries – REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc. – offering solutions for emerging real estate-related financing opportunities and traditional mortgage origination, correspondent, and servicing. The company is using its corporate strengths as pillars for success: Experience – a seasoned management team leads REZYFi with expertise spanning a wide range of real estate and financing subsectors.

Modern Appeal of Backcountry Exploration Reflected by Enthusiastic Response to CubCrafters Inc.’s Buildup to Public Offering as a STOL-capable Aircraft Manufacturer

  • CubCrafters is an aircraft design and manufacturing company focused on supporting the independent exploration of backcountry locales with a variety of models in multiple aircraft certification classes
  • The Washington-based company announced plans for a public offering of its stock this summer, now pending imminent qualification by the SEC
  • The public funding of the company will give CubCrafters capital that it plans to use to accelerate the pace of fulfilling customer orders and increasing its service capabilities for existing clients
  • The Reg A filing announced in July with a $50 million target offering attracted $5 million in reservations within just the first 48 hours, building to over $20 million in reservations in the following weeks
  • Analysts predict the light aircraft market will continue to grow at a CAGR of of 5.9 percent through 2030 to command sales of $11.9 billion
Best-in-class backcountry aircraft producer CubCrafters turned heads when the company announced in July that it will make a public offering to raise investment capital through the sale of preferred stock. Within the first 48 hours of its announcement, CubCrafters received $5 million in reservations for 1 million planned shares, which has grown beyond $20 million in reservations in the subsequent weeks as the company awaits qualification for its listing from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The reservations for the company’s shares have taken off, rising closer and closer to its initial goal for the public offering (https://ibn.fm/54T2Q). “As our company has grown, we’re the only company now doing four categories of airplanes. We’re doing Part 23 certified, experimental, builder-assist kits, as well as Light Sport,” President and CEO Patrick Horgan told the Aero-News Network in July at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture event in Oshkosh, Wis. (https://ibn.fm/dmXTa). “Jim Richmond is the guy who started our business. … He initiated this idea, to grow our business through a public offering versus divesting it of a foreign source or another way,” Horgan said. “We’re innovating, we’re always working on new things. … And this will help us on the pace of those, which is what our customers want.” Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brad Damm underscored the company’s intention to use an infusion of funding to accelerate the rate of production by noting that CubCrafters was already sold out for all of this year and next year, as well as at least halfway through 2024 with the expectation that the company would soon be taking orders for 2025. “We’ve got to get that down and get airplanes to customers faster,” Damm said. “We are also targeting better service and better customer support. We’ve got a fleet of about 1,500 airplanes out there now (and) customers want, need and deserve that support.” CubCrafters’ legacy stands in reviving the classic Piper PA-18 Super Cub light aircraft design with a completely modern approach over the past 40-plus years. In August, the company rolled out a new lightweight engine for its Carbon Cub model that improves on the CC340 that made previously unheard-of short takeoff and landing (“STOL”) performance possible for backcountry enthusiasts. The new CC363i F/P is a higher displacement fuel-injected engine with more horsepower than the CC340, according to the company. Following the final phases of flight testing, CubCrafters is beginning to ship engine kits to customers this month (https://ibn.fm/fici5). The company has developed seven models that emphasize flexibility in options for backcountry exploration with landing gear configurations including nosewheel, tailwheel, floats, and skis. Damm said the market for backcountry exploration bush planes “has really exploded” as COVID-weary populations began seeking out options for fun, safe travel and self-determination, which is borne out by analysts’ forecasts that light and ultralight aircraft sales will hit $11.9 billion by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/6NEaW).

Silo Pharma Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SILO) Novel Ketamine Formulation Undergoing Safety Evaluation, Pursuing Regulatory Pathway

  • Ketamine used for decades in large doses for surgical anesthesia, low-dose treatments currently prescribed for pain relief, sedation, and treatment-resistant depression
  • Silo’s time-released ketamine formulation SP-26 currently undergoing safety evaluation, study to uncover maximum tolerated dosing data for future trials
  • SP-26 previously reported positive results in reducing neuropathic nerve pain
  • Silo preparing FDA Pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) package for SP-26, intends to pursue 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway
Ketamine was approved in the United States in 1970 and has been used extensively for surgical anesthesia. Since then, use of the drug in small doses has expanded considerably to treat pain and treatment-resistant depression (https://ibn.fm/2I6zY). Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the use of traditional medicine and psychedelics as therapeutics, is currently developing ketamine treatments for fibromyalgia – a chronic disease that causes pain throughout the body. With no cure available, fibromyalgia can be a debilitating condition that extends beyond pain to cause extreme fatigue, anxiety, and memory issues. Silo’s novel ketamine formulation, designated as SP-26, is currently undergoing a safety evaluation to treat fibromyalgia (https://ibn.fm/URu60). “We are working closely with our joint venture partner Zylö Therapeutics in developing a topical sustained released ketamine utilizing Z-pod(TM) technology,” said Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo Pharma. “Preclinical studies have already shown that our joint developed delivery method and formulation can hold and distribute ketamine in a time-released manner. SP-26 reported positive results in reducing neuropathic nerve pain. This safety evaluation study will uncover maximum tolerated dosing data that will inform our future trials.” Silo’s cooperation with Zylö Therapeutics provides a distinct competitive advantage for the formulation through the use of Zylö’s Z-pod(R) delivery system that provides treatment benefits while reducing hallucinogenic effects (https://ibn.fm/XXRME). With the ability to adapt to the characteristics of a specific compound, Z-pods(R) can be customized to target delivery, increase bioavailability, and improve stability. The company additionally announced collaboration with a regulatory partner to prepare an FDA Pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) package for SP-26 with the intention of pursuing a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for the drug candidate (https://ibn.fm/1rEia). “We are confident that our highly constructive pre-clinical work on SP-26 will offer strong support for our pre-IND package as we seek to advance our time-released ketamine delivery system into the clinic,” said Weisblum. “We intend to pursue the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway and have engaged Premier Consulting as a true strategic partner to pave the way for productive discussions and alignment with the FDA.” Silo Pharma Inc. is fusing traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research to provide novel treatments for numerous indications, including post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other rare neurological disorders.

Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) to Help Accelerate Advancement of Vehicle Autonomy; Collaborates with NVIDIA DRIVE Sim(TM) to Add Its Lidar Models into Simulation Platform for Autonomous Driving

  • Cepton announced a collaboration with NVIDIA, a cutting-edge platform for large-scale, accurate multi-sensor simulation for autonomous driving; developed sensor ecosystem is essential for AV development and validation in simulation
  • NVIDIA DRIVE Sim(TM) allows users to test Cepton lidars and accelerate and scale deployment; Company expects to accelerate development of lidars for assisted and autonomous driving for global customers through this collaboration
  • At the recent IAA Transportation 2022 conference, Cepton exhibited its Nova lidar integrated into a heavy-duty truck headlamp by ZKW Group GmbH
“Lidar is essential to autonomous mobility, but deploying lidar at scale entails extensive testing and validation, sometimes in scenarios difficult to access in real life,” said Dr. Jun Pei, co-founder and CEO of Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high-performance lidar solutions. That’s why the Company teamed up with NVIDIA to add Cepton lidars into NVIDIA DRIVE Sim(TM) — an end-to-end simulation platform for large-scale, accurate multi-sensor simulation that supports autonomous driving development and validation from concept to deployment (https://ibn.fm/6Ys4y). “Simulation plays a significant role in bridging the gap between concept and deployment, and that’s why we are thrilled to offer access to simulated models of our lidars on the NVIDIA DRIVE Sim platform,” Pei concluded. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim allows developers to recreate obstacles with their precise physical characteristics and place them in complex driving environments to construct realistic scenarios and identify and activate adequate lidar performance modes based on external signals such as speed and location. As a result, these models can help automakers and autonomous vehicle developers accelerate lidar deployment while minimizing real-world test driving, which enhances efficiency and reduces costs. With this move, Cepton joined NVIDIA’s extensive ecosystem of sensor technology innovators, adding an accurate digital twin of its lidar technology to this cloud-based simulation platform for technology development. Digital twins enable developers to create AI-powered, physically authentic virtual replicas of objects, processes and environments continuously synchronized with real-world data inputs (https://ibn.fm/DYd4V). As the first lidar partner developing a solution that combines long-range and near-range lidars for 360° perception, Cepton seeks to minimize blind spots through its near-range Nova lidar, while its long-range Vista-X series is designed for obstacle detection at highway speeds across various realistic urban driving scenarios generated in NVIDIA DRIVE Sim. In the words of Zvi Greenstein, general manager for Simulation at NVIDIA, a developed sensor ecosystem is critical for AV development and validation in simulation. “With the addition of Cepton sensor models, developers have access to a physically based lidar model that will significantly reduce the need for real-world data collection and testing,” he said. With this collaboration, Cepton seeks to accelerate the development of lidar solutions for assisted and autonomous driving for global customers. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim simulations enable automakers and developers to work with Cepton’s lidar models in a virtual environment to identify suitable Cepton lidar sensors for specific application needs and integrate them with other sensor technologies, such as camera and radar. They can prototype sensor integrations, visualize lidar scan patterns in different settings, and optimize sensor configurations across features such as frame rate, field of view, and range of interest. In addition, NVIDIA DRIVE Replicator allows Cepton’s lidar models to generate synthetic datasets that empower the AI Deep Neural Networks training needed for multi-sensor fusion and AV perception. “With DRIVE Sim’s powerful ray-tracing engine, we can build fully configurable, physically accurate models of our entire suite of products. These capabilities will enable developers to be more efficient and build safer products,” said Dr. Jun Pei, summing up the benefits of the newly announced collaboration for Cepton. Cepton remains committed to supporting the vision of transportation transformation and is making strides in developing lidar technology that aims to deliver high-precision vehicle perception to enable safe autonomy. For example, the Company showcased an integrated lidar solution for automotive headlamps using its Nova lidar in a heavy-duty truck headlamp by ZKW Group GmbH, showing how lidar can be discretely embedded in small spaces around the vehicle to provide 360° perception. Nova is an award-winning near-range lidar with a combination of miniature size, high resolution, and superior field of view coverage in both vertical and horizontal directions.  Driven to become the go-to lidar supplier for the automotive industry, Cepton appears well placed to capitalize on the industry’s strong momentum.

  • Discussion focuses on history of company, significant health and safety benefits of Grow Pods
  • Company is dedicated to developing, manufacturing and selling advanced cultivation equipment and packaging systems
Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX) chair and CEO Doug Heldoorn was a featured guest on a recent episode of the Gamechangers LIVE podcast (https://ibn.fm/hN87Z). Heldoorn was joined by Shannon Illingworth, inventor of Grow Pods, the microfarm containers that ACTX distributes throughout the United States. During the podcast, the two men discussed the origins of Advanced Container Technologies and its potential to change the future of farming (https://ibn.fm/7WnMu). “When I was speaking with Shannon — I’ve known him for 15 years — we were all in the same space,” said Heldoorn during the interview. “He was talking about growing these organic superfoods. It all flowed together, which was pretty cool. . . . There was an opportunity to merge and get our brains together working toward a common goal of what’s missing in society right now. “One [Grow Pod] will grow an acre of food with a third of the water it takes [for traditional farming] and less space, with no metals or toxins,” he continued. “Everybody right now is right on that bandwagon of doing things healthier and more responsible to the environment. We really think we’re on to something that’s going to be incredible.” Advanced Container Technologies is dedicated to 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. One of the company’s main business units is focused on selling Grow Pods, which are advanced, self-contained hydroponic containers. These innovative automated systems are essentially microfarms that can be placed virtually anywhere and, with its controlled and specially filtered environment, allow cultivation of a wide variety of crops, 365 days a year. “The good thing about the [Grow Pods] container is that it can give traditional farmers a niche where they can grow year-round versus three or four times per year,” said Illingworth. “We can really revolutionize what’s going on in our society. People don’t realize that we get the majority of our produce through just two states – Arizona and California. By the time [food] gets across state lines, it’s already stale. . . . We give the ability to be farm to table. . . . There’s no reason why every state can’t be agriculture independent and growing year-round.” The Gamechangers LIVE podcast was hosted by executive coach Sergio Tigera; the podcast series is designed to shine the spotlight on individuals who are gamechangers in their fields and provide a venue for them to share perspective on their journeys, mindsets, struggles and successes in an effort to inspire and inform listeners.

Future of Renewable Energies Looking Brighter Thanks to IRA, ESA, GeoSolar Technologies Inc., and More

  • The U.N. is calling for all efforts to support development and implementation of sustainable energies amid the worst cost-of-living crisis of our time
  • GeoSolar Technologies has developed and tested a comprehensive system for eliminating the need for fossil fuels to meet energy demands for commercial and residential buildings
  • GeoSolar Technologies system harnesses the power of the sun and the Earth to transition away from the electric grid to self-sustainable homes that receive some of the highest HERS Index marks today
The world’s gone through a lot in the last few years, from a global pandemic to now what the United Nation describes as a “once-in-a-generation cost-of-living crisis” fueled in part by skyrocketing energy prices. To wit, the U.N. is sounding the alarm as to the urgency for implementing new energy policies squarely focused on sustainability. Experts are looking at all opportunities, some futuristic, such as the European Space Agency (“ESA”) evaluating beaming solar power to Earth from satellites, and others available today, like GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”) whole-house systems that maximize efficiency while eliminating grid dependence. In November, ESA ministers are gathering in Paris to strategize on priorities, including mulling over the potential of launching commercial power stations orbiting the planet, a project dubbed “Solaris.” The hypothesis is that large satellites could harness sunlight, convert it to power and beam it to Earth into Europe’s power grid. It’s not as crazy of an idea as it may sound. Solar is the gold standard used in powering spacecraft today and amazingly efficient, with the perk of prices dropping in recent decades at a faster pace the predicted. To overcome challenges related to power generation at night, researchers at Australia’s University of New South Wales are working on solar cells that create electricity from infrared, a perfect solution considering that Earth radiates stored heat into space as infrared radiation. While these groups work on the renewable tech of the future, GeoSolar Technologies is putting real-world solutions into residential and commercial buildings today. The Denver-based company is revolutionizing the way people heat, cool and power homes from 100% natural sources, namely the sun (solar) and the soil (geothermal). The patent-pending integrated system can be used for fossil-fuel-free electrification of all a house’s power needs, such as for air purification, irrigation, appliances, electronics, lighting, electric vehicle battery charging, and more. Again, this isn’t purely conceptual. GeoSolar Technologies’’ systems have been installed in houses in Colorado (some of the harshest climate in the U.S.) and performed spectacularly to earn some of the highest scores available on the Home Energy Ratings Systems (“HERS”) Index. The HERS index is the industry’s gold standard for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Anyone that has been to Colorado at different times of the year understands that not only does it get bitter cold in the winter, but it can be brutally hot in the summer, so maximized efficiency is critical to comfort and reduced household bills. GeoSolar Technologies uses rooftop photovoltaic solar panels to generate the home’s electricity. That electricity is used throughout the house, including to power heat pumps and water heaters. Geothermal HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems take advantage of the heat within the Earth. It capitalizes on the fact that the ground maintains a nearly constant temperature around 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit just a few feet in the ground year-round. The difference in the ambient temperature in a house allows the ground to serve as a heat source when it’s cold outside and heat sink when it’s hot by circulating the air through hundreds of feet of piping, called ground loops. Thanks to the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, geothermal is more affordable than ever. The new law includes $369 billion in new climate spending and provides homeowners with a bevy of incentives to build new homes or retrofit existing buildings with renewable energies. Incentives include thousands of dollars in tax credits and rebates for installing things like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.

As a driver of highly cost-effective solutions for energy use optimization, Correlate recognizes the opportunity and value that lies in solar energy. As such, it looks to provide real estate owners and companies with the necessary systems, infrastructure, and technical know-how to aid in the transition to renewable energy alternatives, specifically solar energy, in light of the 2050 net zero emissions goals. It is projected that by 2050, installed solar photovoltaic (“PV”) capacity globally will grow 20-fold, with the technology representing 38% of all electricity production. According to a report published by PV-Tech, this will be significantly influenced by the anticipated drop in the cost of solar energy production as time progresses. It is estimated that come 2050, the average Levelized Cost of Energy (“LCOE”) for solar PV will fall from the current $50/MWh level to around $30/MWh, with individual projects costing well below $20/MWh (https://ibn.fm/RbavN). This drop indicates the trend over the past ten years that has seen the cost of new solar energy technologies post the highest decline at 89% compared to onshore wind at 59% and offshore wind at 61%. In addition, solar energy storage also stands to benefit greatly, having posted an 83% cost decline from 2011 to 2021. Correlate looks to take advantage of this cost drop to further deploy as many solar power installations in the United States as possible. In addition to this decline, the company’s financing platform is further reducing the current upfront cost of adopting the infrastructure associated with solar energy, making it easier for interested persons to adopt solar energy ahead of 2050. Through its approach and understanding of the market, Correlate has already amassed an opportunity pipeline of over $100 million in commercial projects, with more than $20 million in awarded backlog. It is also currently executing a $200 million project pipeline following its application for Nasdaq up-listing. The company’s current performance represents a market that is ready and willing to adopt renewable energy alternatives, particularly solar energy. It is also indicative of the success of Correlate’s approach and how lowering the barrier of entry is fundamental in accelerating solar power adoption. With these, Correlate plays an integral role in the energy transition globally and the United States. It showcases the advantage of using renewable energy sources and proves how commercially viable it is to go down this route. Most importantly, it is proving its commitment to consistently creating value for its shareholders and consumers.

Reklaim Ltd. (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) Provides Fully Compliant Data Solutions to Brands While Rewarding Consumers

  • Privacy regulations and changes in mobile apps reduce the supply of traditional data, leading to increased demand for new, fully compliant data solutions
  • Reklaim offers a platform that rewards consumers for granting data access, produces verified datasets that marketer’s access for a fee
  • Up to 30% of data being bought and sold in the market today is “dead” due to email bouncing, mobile ID deprecation, “Do Not Call” lists, and blacklisted IPs
  • Reklaim’s solutions reverse the “bad data” trend with verified information consumers actively choose to share
  • Market increase for data platforms is expected to increase from $1.42 billion in 2022 to $6.94 billion in 2029 at a CAGR of 25.4%
The days when companies collected consumer data and sold it to advertisers without their consent are rapidly ending as privacy regulations expand worldwide (https://ibn.fm/1EIxu). In addition, tech companies are taking action to reduce data mining by mobile applications (https://ibn.fm/4aqS2) drastically. At the same time, advertisers still need data to fuel marketing strategies, leading to a growing demand for fully compliant consumer data solutions. Reklaim (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF)  addresses that demand with a privacy-compliant identity ecosystem that gives consumers options to earn from their data while providing new datasets to brands and advertisers. “The global data market has historically been built on collecting data unbeknownst to consumers and arbitraging it to as many different firms as possible for as much money as possible,” said Neil Sweeney, founder and CEO of Reklaim (https://ibn.fm/Phd8s). “This is quickly coming to an end, not only with accelerating changes in privacy legislation but also in how companies such as Google and Apple are quickly reducing the amount of data leaking from their products.” Reklaim addresses that problem by supplying brands with fully consensual, consumer-verified data from users in the United States and Canada. The company’s ecosystem allows consumers to see how much their data is sold annually and how many companies are buying and selling their information. Users are also given options to earn points as additional compensation for answering polls- activities that produce additional verified datasets advertisers can access for a fee. Reklaim’s solutions additionally increase data quality. Up to 30% of customer data is “dead” due to email bouncing, mobile ID deprecation, “Do Not Call” lists, and blacklisted IPs (https://ibn.fm/IIcqK). Reklaim’s data sets reverse that trend by providing current information from verified consumers that actively choose to share their purchasing behavior. Since better data leads to better advertising decisions, this business model is expected to contribute to the market increase for data platforms, from $1.42 billion in 2022 to $6.94 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 25.4% (https://ibn.fm/OVtQZ). Reklaim’s solutions come at a transformational time when legislative and technological forces are actively reshaping the consumer data market. The company’s ecosystem aims to redefine the sector by providing solutions that benefit both sides of the consumer data market by offering industry transparency, choice, and value.
