EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF) Set to Capitalize as Canada’s Industrial Sector Rushes to Adopt Renewable Energy

  • Canada’s federal carbon tax recently hit a record $50/ton, helping fuel a veritable gold rush within the domestic carbon credit industry
  • The move has simultaneously sparked a mass rush amongst Canadian industrial players to transition towards renewable energy sources, with renewable natural gas (“RNG”) top of the list
  • EverGen Infrastructure has become a key player within the Canadian RNG sector, with three active processing plants within British Columbia, and development underway in Alberta and Ontario
  • The company recently acquired a 50% stake in an Ontario-based RNG development, a move which will see the company boost its cumulative production capacity to upwards of 1 million gigajoules per annum
A European energy broker recently reached out to Base Carbon, a Canadian-listed carbon credit-focused investment fund (https://ibn.fm/t3xZW). The motive for the call? The broker was seeking to sell a portfolio of carbon credits generated in 2015 by a Chinese wind farm operation. Canada’s federal carbon tax hit a record $50/ton in April 2022 – effectively penalizing companies on account of their carbon footprint. That in turn has sparked a veritable ‘gold rush’ within the Canadian carbon credit industry, with hordes of companies actively seeking to mitigate their carbon emissions. Simultaneously however, it has also driven home the need for an ever-increasing number of companies to begin adopting renewable natural gas (“RNG”) as a core energy feedstock (https://ibn.fm/Nz6cN). EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF), a British-Columbia based renewable natural gas operator, is set to be a key beneficiary of this trend. The ongoing move towards adopting renewable energy sources was best enunciated by Modern Niagara, a Canadian integrated building contractor, which has set a carbon reduction goal of 30% by 2030. “We had corporate sustainability goals. While discussing those goals, we were wondering how we’d change our 2030 and 2050 mandates, and RNG was brought forth to us as a carbon reduction solution and we saw an opportunity to acquire a bunch of RNG and provide it back to our clientele base,” stated Stefan Ritchie, Modern Niagara’s new business development manager. “We all have to adhere to reduction goals set by the federal government, and if we don’t, we’ll be levied with larger carbon taxes,” he concluded. EverGen has sought to cater to the growing demand for renewable natural gas, aggressively growing its supply capabilities in recent years. In addition to the company’s ownership of Fraser Valley Biogas, Western Canada’s first RNG facility which has been in continuous operation since 2011, EverGen also manage two composting and organic processing facilities, which seek to combine anaerobic digesting and biogas upgrading technologies to produce RNG from the manure generated by local dairy farms. More recently, EverGen Infrastructure revealed that the company had purchased a 50% stake in a portfolio of renewable natural gas development projects in Ontario, Canada from Northeast Renewables (https://ibn.fm/QZXw2). The deal, which saw EverGen pay a gross cash consideration of $1.5 million, has a targeted cumulative production capacity of approximately 1.7 million gigajoules (“GJ”) per year, with the projects set to be constructed in 2023 and 2024. Ultimately, EverGen expects the Ontario-based project to more than triple its RNG capacity to upwards of 1 million GJ per year. EverGen CEO Chase Edgelow commented in regard to the deal: “The acquisition of Project Radius provides a foothold in Ontario, a new and strategic jurisdiction in which EverGen can continue to participate in the consolidation and growth of the RNG industry in the near-term, as well as benefit from project economics in line with or exceeding those we have seen with our initial projects.” Canada’s historically fossil-fuel dependent industrial sector has gradually begun to embark on a transition towards renewable energy sources to both, reduce their carbon footprint whilst simultaneously, shielding their bottom-line from ever increasing carbon taxes. As a leader in the domestic RNG industry, EverGen is seeking to provide them with the sustainable infrastructure needed to fuel that change.

Speculation of Bear Market Reinforced by Crypto Declines and Cutbacks

  • Bitcoin reached an all-time low of $22,725 since December 2020
  • Other cryptos are feeling the strain, many of which are facing value declines of more than 30% in just a week
  • Many crypto-focused companies have begun issuing hiring freezes and layoffs as a result of the low-valued prices
  • Crypto exchange Gemini is laying off at least 10% of its employees, citing a turbulent market and “crypto winter”
Speculation of a bear market has become a reality. Bitcoin just reached an all-time low (since December 2020), with a value of $23,981. Other cryptocurrencies are feeling the effects of this bear market as well, with the total cryptocurrency market cap declining to $1.02 trillion as of June 13, 2022, from $3 trillion in November 2021. According to Antoni Trenchev, co-founder and managing partner of crypto lending platform Nexo, “Cryptos remain at the mercy of the Fed and stuck in a merry dance with the Nasdaq and other risk assets. We’re hearing Bitcoin forecasts in the mid-teen, and single-digit thousands, which tells you the type of macro environment crypto is facing for the first time — and the levels of fear” (https://ibn.fm/CPMCz). Crypto-focused companies like Canaan, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN), a developer of digital blockchain computing equipment, saw declines in excess of -13%. Canaan’s short-term technical score of 46 has indicated that the stock has traded less bullishly over the last month than 54% of the stocks on the market. Canaan’s long-term technical rank is 56, meaning that over the last 200 trading days, the company ranked within the top half of stocks. In the Computer Hardware Industry, Canaan’s score is 76, ranking better than 76% of stocks. Canaan is scheduled to release their earnings statement in August 2022. In light of the recent decline, traders are betting for a more aggressive pace of Federal Reserve tightening since data last week shows inflation soaring to a 40-year high in May. Crypto has struggled immensely under the Fed’s policy in recent months, and that struggle has hit some companies hard. For example, the collapse of the Terra/Luna ecosystem last month. Confidence in the crypto space is critically low right now. Bobby Ong, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of CoinGecko, expressed a warning on Twitter, “From the next cycle’s view, we are probably near the bottom, but that doesn’t mean that price can nuke 50% further. FWIW, I don’t think we are at the bottom yet coz conferences are still full, crypto parties are still extravagant, still seeing excesses among teams, macro environment is still weak. The layoffs have started but not widespread yet. Stay strong and manage your positions well” (https://ibn.fm/dPV3z). With the tumbling prices that have occurred this year in the crypto industry, some of the trading platforms, including Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), have begun instituting hiring freezes and layoffs. The crypto exchange Gemini announced recently that 10% of jobs would be eliminated. The Gemini announcement came from Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, citing the “turbulent market conditions” as a determining factor. “This is where we are now, in the contraction phase that is settling into a period of stasis — what our industry refers to as ‘crypto winter.’ This has all been further compounded by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical turmoil. We are not alone,” the Winklevoss brothers said (https://ibn.fm/MWokd). The current crypto climate further supports the consensus that the market is now in bear territory.

Odyssey Health, Inc. (ODYY) Moving to Fill Gaps in Treatment and Management of Concussion Among Military Service Members

  • Odyssey is a medical company developing PRV-002, a novel compound for the treatment of concussion
  • Between 75-83% of all the cases of traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) among U.S. service members have been classified as mild (“mTBI”), commonly termed “concussion”
  • Although concussion greatly impacts the military, there are significant gaps in the understanding of the optimal diagnostic, treatment, and management criteria
  • Odyssey is looking to bridge this informational gap with its clinical trial and intends to start its U.S. Phase II trials at military training sites, subject to the FDA’s approval of the results of its Phase I study
The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) notes that more than 430,000 U.S. service members were diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) between 2000 and 2020 (https://ibn.fm/6Yycd), with 75-83% of all these cases being mild (“mTBI”), according to different studies (https://ibn.fm/0MQas). These statistics make mTBI, also known as concussion, the most common TBI affecting military personnel. But despite its prevalence, mTBI is the least understood and most difficult to diagnose of the different forms of TBI and has been a largely unexplored area of medical intervention until very recently. In military settings, head injuries caused by shock waves from explosives, violent impact, or ballistic penetration are cited as the main causes of TBI, with most concussions resulting from blunt trauma. While symptoms from a concussion are “usually self-limited and resolve spontaneously over a period of a few weeks, 10-15% of individuals develop prolonged symptoms or postconcussive syndrome (‘PCS’)… Neuropsychological testing in PCS may reveal persistent, yet subtle cognitive deficits, often in the executive domain” (https://ibn.fm/kRQxc). “Despite the impact that concussion has on military service members, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the optimal diagnostic, management, and return to activity/duty criteria to mitigate the consequences of concussion. Specifically, there is insufficient evidence supporting the objectivity (i.e., sensitivity and specificity) of our assessment measures, the optimal treatment strategies to mitigate the impact of concussion, and our ability to predict longer-term outcomes following injury,” writes a 2020 journal article (https://ibn.fm/bjkKe). This is despite the enactment of the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008, which, among other things, mandated state traumatic brain injury surveillance systems, including the CDC and the Department of Defense (“DoD”), to link individuals with TBI to services and supports (https://ibn.fm/z3jnu). Even more concerning, there is currently no FDA-approved treatment for concussion. In understanding the severity of concussion among service members and the existing gaps in concussion treatment, Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY) is working to develop treatments for concussion and other neurological disorders. Odyssey is developing the PRV-002, a novel, fully synthetic, non-naturally occurring neurosteroid for the treatment of concussion that is the subject of ongoing Phase I clinical trials. PRV-002 has undergone preclinical studies, which suggest that the drug has “equivalent, and potentially superior, neuroprotective effects compared to related neurosteroids. In animal models of concussion, PRV-002 reduced the behavioral pathology associated with brain injury symptoms such as short-term memory loss, depression/anxiety-like behavior, motor-sensory impairment” (https://ibn.fm/XYRCk). Last fall, Odyssey received international approval to start Phase I human clinical trials (https://ibn.fm/y0nAN) designed to test for drug safety, tolerability, and concentration in both the urine and blood as dosing increases. The Phase I trials comprise 40 healthy subjects segmented into five cohorts, each with eight participants. Odyssey and its research partners will report and approve trial data for continuation after each cohort is completed, with the next group receiving an increased dose if no abnormalities are observed in the preceding cohort. Data from a recently completed safety evaluation of cohort I revealed that PRV-002 is well-tolerated, meaning no severe adverse events were noted. Encouraged by the positive results from the preclinical and the ongoing Phase I study, Odyssey has set sights on Phase II clinical trials in the U.S., which will initially focus on the military. “Based on our animal data and after reviewing our initial Phase I trial safety reports, we are optimistic that PRV-002 will be a safe option for the treatment of concussion. We look forward to completing the Phase I trial and presenting our findings to the FDA. Following FDA review, we intend to initiate a Phase II clinical trial in the U.S., starting with our military. We have created a military advisory board to assist with this effort,” commented Odyssey CEO Michael Redmond in a May 5 news release announcing positive results from a section of cohort I participants (https://ibn.fm/156KR). Odyssey’s decision to focus the initial attention of its Phase II clinical trial on the military appears to be a timely intervention aimed at filling gaps in the treatment of concussions among service members. This aligns with its commitment to providing unique, life-saving medical products that deliver clinical advantages to unmet needs.

LQwD FinTech Corp. (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF) Increases Node Count on Bitcoin Lightning Network as Network Shows 300%+ Growth

  • The Lightning Network has seen growth of more than 300% since mid-2021, despite the recent decline of Bitcoin
  • LQwD’s nodes on the Lightning Network include global coverage in Canada, South Korea, Brazil, Hong Kong, South Africa, Bahrain, Japan, the US, Ireland, India, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Indonesia, Italy, France, and England
  • The global cryptocurrency market was valued at US $1.49 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach US $4.94 billion by 2030
The Bitcoin Lightning Network (“LN”) has experienced explosive growth recently, despite the volatility of the cryptocurrency. Recent reports have indicated that Bitcoin has experienced negative growth – by more than 30% since the beginning of the year (https://ibn.fm/EMUZP). The opposite is true about the layer 2 payment protocol on the Bitcoin blockchain, with more than 3,900 BTC on the network. The LN has experienced growth of more than 300% since mid-2021. Because Bitcoin blockchain transactions are notoriously slow and expensive, the Lightning Network changes the dynamic, offering an almost instantaneous settlement of transactions and almost non-existent fees (https://ibn.fm/XRWMQ). LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), a fintech company focused on creating enterprise-grade infrastructure to drive bitcoin adoption, is working toward its goals by adding more nodes on the Lightning Network. Since the last publication, the company has increased its total number of nodes on the Network to 17. The company recently added new nodes in Canada, South Korea, Brazil, Hong Kong, South Africa, Bahrain, and Japan. These new nodes join the previously launched nodes in the US, Ireland, India, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Indonesia, Italy, France, and England. To follow LQwD’s nodes on the Lightning Network, visit https://1ml.com/. LQwD launched its first node and proprietary platform as a service (“PaaS”) offering in November 2021, offering faster transaction times and lower fees for transactions. The PaaS (https://lqwd.tech/) is a Lightning Network infrastructure for global scale that can be used , and users can access it anywhere in the world. The LQwD platform comes with a fully functional dashboard for users to initiate and receive payments, send invoices, track transactions, and more. The first node on the Lightning Network, US-West, has experienced exceptional growth, now boasting a channel count of over 100 and a capacity of 5.412619930 BTC. The company has invested its own Bitcoin in the Lightning Network for the creation of nodes around the world – scaling its network for global impact. The reputation of Bitcoin is slowly changing thanks to the Lightning Network, shifting it from an exclusive store of value into a medium of exchange. More businesses are beginning to take cryptocurrency forms of payment, and it has even been referred to by Jack Dorsey as the “native currency of the internet.” The Lightning Network is unlocking the potential and next stage of growth for Bitcoin by allowing for day-to-day transactions instead of using it as a store of value on the internet. Dorsey has also integrated the Lightning Network into the CashApp payment app. In a fireside chat with Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, Dorsey discussed how Square was the first to truly address Bitcoin with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), saying, “It challenged absolutely everything, security protocols, legal aspects, compliance, engineering, product” (https://ibn.fm/6t234). The global cryptocurrency market was valued at US $1.49 billion in 2020, but it is projected to reach US $4.94 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% over the forecast period. The increased need for operational efficiency and transparency in the financial payment systems is a key driver of the market’s growth. In addition to this, the need for remittances in developing countries also contributes to the growth of the market (https://ibn.fm/QPtWQ).

Aditxt Inc.’s (NASDAQ: ADTX) AditxtScore(TM) Platform Provides Consumers and Physicians with Data Needed to Make Informed Health Decisions on COVID-19

  • Aditxt is a biotech innovation company developing and commercializing technologies focused on monitoring and reprogramming the immune system.
  • The company’s AditxtScore(TM) for COVID-19 generates an AditxtScore(TM), which offers a detailed profile of a person’s immune response for SARS-CoV-2, allowing consumers and their physicians to understand, manage, and monitor their level of immune response to the virus, thus allowing them to make informed health decisions
  • Aditxt’s platform is initially focusing on SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in recognition of the importance of immune monitoring and profiling in determining the course of action related to the virus.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic is now in its third year, as noted in a recent Scientific American article (https://ibn.fm/owGS8), scientists are still unsure whether there is a measure that could tell if people are protected from the virus. Still, different measures, collectively known as “correlates of protection,” define the immune response that a vaccine or viral infection would have to trigger to protect an individual from future infection. Two of these measures, neutralizing antibodies and T cells, are instrumental in immune profiling, a process that seeks to identify a person’s specific immune responses to the virus. And as a 2021 journal article discussing immune profiling of COVID-19 writes: “Variability in the host immune response is likely to play a major role in determining the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Given this, there is a need to apply immune profiling to better understand the interaction of this virus with the human immune system and how this influences clinical outcomes and informs vaccine development” (https://ibn.fm/g4cnr). Separately, Dr. Shivani Amdekar, a Medical Director at the Oxford Immune Algorithmics AI company, believes that deep immune monitoring – which involves measuring specialized immune cells – could be instrumental in advancing a test for long COVID. Moreover, the data collected from such initiatives, especially on a large scale, Dr. Shivani notes, could aid in uncovering potentially important relationships that may lead to useful therapeutic solutions for long COVID (https://ibn.fm/eT0FI). Aditxt (NASDAQ: ADTX), a biotech innovation company, understands this underlying value of immune monitoring and has continually worked to build awareness and visibility among consumers and healthcare providers of its AditxtScore(TM) Immune Monitoring Platform. With its inaugural focus being COVID-19, the platform creates comprehensive profiles of people’s immune systems, allowing them to understand, manage, and monitor their individual reactions to the virus. In addition, AditxtScore for COVID-19 provides timely reports on the immune status and vulnerability to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, providing consumers and their physicians with the data needed to make informed health decisions. AditxtScore(TM) is a timely technology amid warnings by the Biden administration that the U.S. could see 100 million COVID-19 infections and a potentially substantial wave of deaths this fall and winter. The government attributes this wave to emerging omicron subvariants that can escape the vaccines (https://ibn.fm/7L4Xc). “In 2020, when the pandemic started, governments and public health agencies all over the world did everything possible to control infection. Infection status was the focus and, understandably so, to minimize the loss of lives,” Aditxt CEO and Founder Amro Albanna said in 2021 during a press conference in which the company announced it would open the AditxtScore(TM) Immune Monitoring Center in Richmond (https://ibn.fm/0ZaHm). “As we move forward, we must transition from focusing on infection status to protection status. We need to understand our individual immunity status so we can make better decisions as we move forward.” But Aditxt’s sights are also set on other maladies, as AditxtScore(TM) is being designed for other applications in infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and organ transplantation. Aditxt is a biotech innovation company developing and commercializing technologies focused on monitoring and reprogramming the immune system. Aditxt’s immune monitoring technologies are designed to provide a personalized immune profile. Aditxt’s immune reprogramming technologies, currently preclinical, are being developed to retrain the immune system to induce tolerance to address rejection of transplanted organs, autoimmune diseases, and allergies.

FuelPositive Corp.’s (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Green Ammonia Solution for Global Food Security

  • Ukraine has been regarded as the breadbasket for much of the world, growing enough food to feed over 400 million people
  • With the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, global food security has come under threat, brought about by interrupted supply chains, the overall cost of shipping, and rising oil prices
  • FuelPositive seeks to remedy the situation through its decentralized model of ammonia production
  • Through its technology, it looks to tap into a market that is projected to reach $81.42 billion by 2025
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, initiating a humanitarian crisis with a ripple effect on a global scale, including but not limited to food security, the overall cost of shipping, and oil prices (https://ibn.fm/EWxUf). For the longest time, Ukraine has been referred to as the world’s breadbasket, growing enough food to feed 400 million people. Five of the country’s ten biggest exports are food, from cereals to oilseeds, animal/vegetable fats, oils, and waxes. For a country of 41.59 million people, its primary foreign exchange earner is agriculture, but that is changing with the ongoing war (https://ibn.fm/7uMPw). Russia’s war in Ukraine is also causing a global fertilizer shortage which is further contributing to food insecurity. Russia is a major exporter of fertilizer. Disruptions caused by the war and sanctions have caused fertilizer prices to skyrocket, making fertilizer unaffordable to farmers around the world (https://ibn.fm/v8Scs). FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), an enterprise committed to clean energy solutions such as a containerized green ammonia production system, recognizes the challenges that farmers face and the opportunity that exists in a decentralized model of ammonia production. Over 80% of the world’s ammonia is being used in the agricultural setting as fertilizer. With the use of FuelPositive’s containerized technology that produces green ammonia on site, farmers can do away with mainstream supply chains and the challenges that come with that by producing their own fertilizer on their farms. In addition, they can also contribute toward a greener planet with dramatically reduced carbon emissions. FuelPositive’s containerized green ammonia production system relies on renewable electricity to synthesize hydrogen from water and nitrogen from the air, combining the molecules in a proprietary converter to form anhydrous (pure) ammonia and its derivatives. With its infrastructure, the company allows farmers to economically produce the amount of ammonia needed for their farm on site. Ultimately, this allows them to avoid supply chain dependence and fluctuations, evidenced by Russia’s ongoing war of aggression in Ukraine and other geopolitical and environmental situations around the world. Earlier in May 2022, FuelPositive announced signing a letter of intent with its first green ammonia demonstration project partners, Tracy and Curtis Hiebert, farmers in Manitoba, Canada. The project will showcase what FuelPositive’s infrastructure is capable of and highlight a more viable and sustainable alternative to mainstream ammonia in today’s market (https://ibn.fm/YERKW). With Russia accounting for 23% of global ammonia exports and 48% of the world supply of ammonium nitrate, the rest of the world is exploring new ways to address the current shortages and price hikes. FuelPositive is at the forefront of offering a more sustainable solution and one that could benefit all farmers, including those who operate on a relatively smaller scale. Recent developments have exposed just how vulnerable global supply chains are, especially regarding food security. This is forcing key industry players to rethink overall food production and new methods of manufacturing essential fertilizers. FuelPositive has already come up with a viable solution for on-site ammonia production, with the added benefit of having a greener, cleaner and healthier planet. With the global ammonia market projected to reach $81.42 billion by 2025, up from $52.71 billion in 2017, FuelPositive is positioning itself to capitalize on this growth with its green ammonia technology offering. In addition, the company offers a unique value proposition, particularly in light of the ongoing political and humanitarian crisis caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine (https://ibn.fm/XAVSF).

Uncertainty Surrounds Bitcoin Mining in New York while Other States Begin Deep Dive on Benefits of Digital Currency Implementation

  • New York’s bill to put a temporary ban on Bitcoin mining is in the hands of Governor Hochul – who plans to carefully review it before making a decision (it could be six months or more)
  • The Biden Administration called on federal entities to begin researching the benefits of cryptocurrency implementation
  • Pennsylvania and California have begun efforts to analyze the pros and cons of digital currency in their respective states
The fate of Bitcoin mining currently resides in the hands of Governor Kathy Hochul. New York Senate passed a first-of-its-kind moratorium initially drafted by Ithaca Assembly member Anna Kelles in early June. If signed, it could temporarily halt crypto mining in the state due to the energy-intensive process of proof-of-work crypto mining and stop companies from setting up mining operations in retired fossil fuel plants. Governor Hochul has not indicated her stance on whether she will sign the bill or she will veto it. “We’ll be looking at all the bills very closely. So we have a lot of work to do over the next, actually, six months,” Hochul said (https://ibn.fm/YnmXY). The Governor’s progressive primary challenger, Jumaane Williams, has expressed his support for the bill and his criticism of Hochul’s administration campaign for taking contributions from the same crypto interests lobbying against the new legislation. Experts in cryptocurrency mining have expressed concerns regarding the legislation. If the Governor signs, it could begin a chain reaction across the country, with other states passing similar legislation. While New York is classified as a hotbed for cryptocurrency mining, other states could begin feeling the pressure to comply with the environmental efforts. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin retweeted a tweet from U.S. Senate candidate Bruce Fenton, saying, “No government has the right to tell you what software to run. Code is speech.” Fenton is the former executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation and is running for a New Hampshire Senate seat. Buterin added, “Ultimately, I agree with this (that is, I oppose banning PoW). The government picking and choosing which specific applications are an okay use of electricity or not is a bad idea. Better to just implement carbon pricing and use some of the revenues to compensate low-income users” (https://ibn.fm/Da1ku). Efforts are being made industry-wide by digital mining companies to reduce their carbon footprint. For example, companies like Stronghold Digital Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIG) are turning to alternative energy sources to become more environmentally friendly. Stronghold uses coal refuse reclamation sites across Pennsylvania to fuel operations. Pennsylvania is one state that has created a task force to study how federal policy changes concerning digital currency could benefit the state. In March, President Biden issued an executive order calling for studies on the risks and benefits of using cryptocurrency. California was the first to step up to the call – formally analyzing how to adapt these crypto technologies. Following suit, Pennsylvania’s President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R-Bellefonte) announced similar plans. “Digital assets like Bitcoin are here to stay, and it is only a matter of time before Congress takes action to regulate their use nationwide. While we await further guidance from the federal government, it makes sense for Pennsylvania to do our due diligence so we are ready to take advantage of the economic opportunities that will open up,” said Corman in an open statement on the matter (https://ibn.fm/7gpX0). He also noted that Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned to be a leader in Bitcoin mining efforts due to the state’s abundance of natural resources. Corman backed up his position, stating that mining Bitcoin requires a great deal of energy and computational power. “As a global leader in energy, Pennsylvania could be an ideal location for Bitcoin mining operations in the future. We should always look for economic development opportunities to make our state more prosperous, and Bitcoin mining presents an interesting possibility for our Commonwealth,” he added.

Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Set to Benefit from Defense Production Act Invocation, and Solar Panel Tariff Exemption

  • President Biden recently invoked the Defense Production Act in a bid to accelerate domestic production of clean energy technologies and spur domestic manufacturing
  • He also declared a 24-month tariff exemption for solar panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand
  • This presents a breakthrough opportunity for Correlate and other players in the industry to scale up their operations and execute large-scale solar power installations around the country
In March 2022, the United States Department of Commerce opened an investigation into solar modules imported into the country from Southeast Asia. The affected nations included Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with the department citing the expansion of Chinese manufacturers into these markets to avoid duties imposed on Chinese exports back in 2012 (https://ibn.fm/LsoPP). In a report published by The Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) in April, it was noted that Southeast Asia was America’s top source of solar panels, accounting for 85% of American imports in 2021. However, the scrutiny of the investigation posed a challenge for companies within the United States that offered green energy solutions. Industry experts noted that the threat of new tariffs was already causing the industry to seize up. Should the issue persist, solar deployment in America could drop by 50% in 2022 (https://ibn.fm/8H4YA). While acknowledging the issue, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act on Monday, June 6, 2022. This move sought to accelerate domestic production of clean energy technologies, including solar panel parts, in what the Biden administration termed an effort to “spur domestic manufacturing” (https://ibn.fm/Vftzi). The act authorizes the Department of Energy to rapidly expand American manufacturing in solar panel parts such as photovoltaic modules and module components, among others. In addition, the President called on Congress to quickly pass tax cuts and additional investments to advance U.S. clean energy and manufacturing deployment, help consumers and strengthen the country’s economy. “These actions are going to spur domestic manufacturing. It’s going to put wind in the sails of construction projects all around the country that are employing folks who are making a good wage, and it’s going to do all of that while cutting costs for our families and tackling both climate change and environmental injustice,” noted a senior administration official. It’s a move that significantly expands opportunities for Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI). The company offers a comprehensive suite of proprietary clean energy assessment solutions for the commercial real estate industry, developing an industry-leading energy solution and financing platform. In addition to the President’s move to expand clean energy production in the country, he also declared a 24-month tariff exemption for solar panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. This lifts the freeze imposed after the investigation and presents an opportunity for companies such as Correlate to bring in vital solar power components without incurring punitive tariffs that ultimately make solar power economically inaccessible to the masses (https://ibn.fm/dqOvM). “There is going to be this safe harbor timeout on the….collection of duties, and that’s at the heart of what’s going to save all of these solar projects and ensure that they are going forward,” noted a White House source. Without this exemption, tariffs were expected to go up to 250%, which would have made solar installations less financially attractive to homeowners and players in the commercial real estate industry, Correlate’s primary customers. “The president’s action is a much-needed reprieve from this industry-crushing probe,” noted Abigail Ross Hopper, the President of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “During the two-year tariff suspension window, the U.S. solar industry can return to rapid deployment while the Defense Production Act helps grow American solar manufacturing,” she added. With these developments, Correlate can execute projects similar to, or bigger in scale than the 908-kW rooftop solar project at Continental Envelope’s Illinois manufacturing plant. In addition, it can facilitate the overall industry’s growth, allowing for facilities to be set up within the country, ultimately cutting down on dependence and imports from Southeast Asia.
