SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motive, the leader in Automated Operations, has published a study showing that businesses can improve fuel efficiency and optimize vehicle maintenance by using data insights and AI-powered automation.

In the study, Motive analyzed over 800 commercial fleets across a two-year period beginning in January 2020, identified what top fleets with the best fuel performance increase did to improve their fuel efficiency, and measured their impact. Top-performing fleets used the Motive Automated Operations Platform insights to reduce fuel consumption by 13%. Using fuel performance data and identifying coaching opportunities, these fleets achieved savings by improving driving behaviors, averaging 79% reduction in hard acceleration, 40% reduction in hard braking, and 20% reduction in idling time. The top fleets also had an increased focus on maintenance, with 80% more inspections compared to other fleets.

Motive enabled the top fleets in the sample to save an estimated three million gallons of fuel in 2021 alone. This is equivalent to 31,000 tons of CO2 that were not released into the atmosphere. Motive fleets paid an average price of $3.29 per gallon of fuel during this time, which equates to an average savings of 769 gallons or $2,530 per vehicle in 2021.

The Motive Vehicle Gateway captures telematics data across a wide range of light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. Motive uses AI to analyze vehicle telematics data, surface insights, and automate the coaching of drivers to improve performance. From the Motive Fleet Dashboard, customers can monitor vehicle activity, driver behavior, engine diagnostics, compare benchmarks, and take action to improve their operations.

“The data clearly shows that using telematics data and AI to track and improve performance in commercial fleets can result in significant savings on fuel costs and emission,” said Jai Ranganathan, Chief Product Officer at Motive. “This is part of our commitment to leveraging data and automation across our entire suite of products to improve safety, productivity, and profitability for the businesses that power the physical economy.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.024500 per unit, payable on September 15, 2022 to unitholders of record on August 31, 2022. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of May 2022 and reported natural gas production during April 2022. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in June 2022.

The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations.

Recorded oil cash receipts from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled $4.0 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $107.77/Bbl, down $0.3 million from the prior month’s oil cash receipts.

Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $1.6 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $5.37/Mcf, up $0.2 million from the prior month.

Total accrued operating expenses for the period were $2.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior period. Capital expenditures decreased $1.9 million from the prior period to $1.7 million, but remained elevated compared to prior months in 2022 given continued elevated operator activity, including a Haynesville refract by a large operator and a number of Permian workover activities.

Given the increase in rig count and operator activity on the Underlying Properties, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) has notified the Trustee that it is withholding $0.1 million from the current month’s net profits to be added to the Sponsor’s previously established cash reserve for approved, future development expenses this year. With this addition, the total reserve is currently approximately $0.7 million. This reserve is intended to fund an expected increase in development expenses; however, if those expenses are ultimately delayed or are less than expected, or if the outlook changes, amounts reserved but unspent will be released as an incremental cash distribution in a future period.

About Permianville Royalty Trust

Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain, predominantly non-operated, oil and gas properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders and expectations regarding the cash reserve for future development expenses. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which have experienced significant fluctuation since the beginning of 2020 as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and the Sponsor. Low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust, reserves for anticipated future expenses and the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2021 and prior periods. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

SOLDOTNA, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit and the Alaska Maritime Education Consortium (AMEC) signed a Yamaha Marine Training Program Agreement under Yamaha’s Technical School Partnership Program. This Agreement will establish a comprehensive Yamaha marine technical training program throughout the state, specifically in remote regions.

Governor Mike Dunleavy, Dr. Tamika L. Ledbetter, Commissioner, Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and University of Alaska President Pat Pitney signed the Training Program Agreement during the 2022 Kenai Classic, establishing an infrastructure for Yamaha Marine products training across the state.

Under the Agreement, Yamaha will provide training curricula and will train the trainers for the program. In addition, Yamaha will allow AMEC to acquire materials at or below cost, including outboard motors and tools. AMEC is a partnership between the University of Alaska and the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Alaska Vocational Technical Center.

“This program is now a reality thanks to the efforts of the late Congressman Don Young, who originally brought the need for more technicians in remote areas to our attention,” said Ben Speciale, President, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “He inspired us to improve our level of service to customers in Alaska and encouraged us to redouble our efforts to train technicians.”

The maritime business in Alaska includes 34,000 miles of coastline that produces more than 60 percent of the nation’s seafood harvest and generates millions of dollars for the state’s economy. Many Alaskan communities depend on a skilled workforce to service the boats and outboards that fuel a healthy, sustainable marine industry.

“Alaska has more coastline than all of other 49 states combined making the maritime sector one of the great growth industries in our state,” said Governor Mike Dunleavy. “I look forward to Alaskans reaping the benefits of this unique partnership with Yamaha.”

The agreement between Yamaha and AMEC also expands the Yamaha Tech School Partner (TSP) program. Developed in 2015, Yamaha’s TSP program aims to develop a stronger marine technician workforce through a certified curriculum, Yamaha systems access and product donations used in the classroom for hands-on training. The AMEC network includes six training locations strategically positioned in coastal communities throughout Alaska and is committed to working with other educational institutions in Alaska to increase access to this and other training. There are currently more than 100 technical schools participating in the Yamaha TSP program including Prince William Sound College in Valdez, which is part of AMEC and serves as an example for the new program.

The facilitation and growth of Yamaha Marine’s technical school relationships led to the development of Yamaha-sponsored curricula available to technical schools for use in the classroom. The first curriculum, titled “Introduction to Outboard Systems,” (ITOS) includes textbook materials and hands-on learning experiences for students who wish to learn more about Yamaha outboard maintenance. ITOS will be the initial course offering through the new agreement in Alaska.

The Alaska Maritime Education Consortium (AMEC) is a partnership between The University of Alaska (UA) and the Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC). The mission of the AMEC is to “collaborate to prepare Alaskans for afloat and ashore careers that will support and strengthen the maritime workforce” by combining efforts to provide maritime training and education across the state. These careers align with the priority occupations in boat and ship building, vessel repair and maintenance, port maintenance, and vessel operations identified in the 2014 Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan.

Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit, based in Kennesaw, Ga., markets and sells marine outboard motors ranging in size from 2.5 to 425 horsepower. It also markets and sells fiberglass, jet-drive sport boats ranging from 19 to 27 feet, and personal watercraft. The unit includes manufacturing divisions of Yamaha Marine Systems Co., Inc., including Kracor of Milwaukee (rotational molding), Bennett Marine of Deerfield Beach, Fla. (trim tabs), and Yamaha Marine Precision Propellers of Indianapolis (stainless steel propellers). Yamaha Marine Group is a division of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., based in Cypress, Calif.

Building Trades, Laborers, Operating Engineers Join Toyota, Hyundai and Fuel Suppliers Asking for $300 Million to Speed Construction of 1,000 Hydrogen Fueling Stations Statewide

SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leaders of the state’s leading labor groups, along with CEOs of some of the world’s leading auto and energy companies, today called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to allocate $300 million in the state budget to fund the final construction of 1,000 hydrogen fueling stations statewide in the next decade to meet the state’s climate goals.

In a letter to the Governor today, the State Building & Construction Trades Council, California State Council of Laborers, District Council of Ironworkers and the California-Nevada Conference of Operating Engineers, along with the chief executives of Toyota, Hyundai, Chevron, Shell, Linde and True Zero, called for the immediate funding in the 2022-2023 state budget. This funding will support the buildout of 1,000 hydrogen fueling stations statewide, which will provide fueling access for 97% of disadvantaged communities and 94% of the geographic state.

“This is the dawn of an entirely new, clean and domestic power source made to serve the energy and transportation markets to achieve our shared goals,” notes the letter. “Funding to ‘finish the launch’ of the statewide fueling network is a low-risk, high-reward investment. At this still early stage in market development, the signal California sends on hydrogen will impact private investment decisions.”

The business and labor leaders note the development of a statewide network will create between 2,280-3,720 hydrogen production and station construction jobs annually. By 2032, between 12,010-13,460 permanent jobs will be created. The average salary of those jobs is forecast to be between $84,000-$91,000 per year across engineering, construction, installation, equipment maintenance and hydrogen testing professions.

The letter was signed by: Joe Cruz, President, California State Council of Laborers; Tim Cremins, Director, California-Nevada Conference of Operating Engineers; Andy Walz, President, Americas Fuels and Lubricants of Chevron; Keith Dunn, Commodore, District Council of Iron Workers; Joel Ewanick, Chairman and CEO, FirstElement Fuel; Jose Munoz, President and CEO, Hyundai North America; Dan Yankowski, President, Linde Gases, North America; Andrew Meredith, President, State Building and Construction Trades Council; Gretchen Watkins, President, Shell USA; and Tetsuo Ogawa, President and CEO, Toyota North America.

Leverage Existing IoT Assets to Manage Carbon Footprint

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Phoenix Energy Technologies (“Phoenix Energy”), a leading provider of Enterprise Energy Management (EEM) Software and Solutions, today announced the launch of Carbon Manager™, a cloud-based, Smart Building application that makes it easy for enterprises to measure and report carbon intensity from Scope 2 emissions sources. It also provides actionable measures to mitigate carbon impacts on businesses and the environment.

As concerns around global warming become more pronounced, regulators will soon require companies to disclose climate-related metrics across all scopes of their operations, including commercial buildings. Many stakeholders--consumers, shareholders, communities, governments, and activist groups--are also becoming more insistent that large companies disclose their ESG efforts with easy-to-understand, credible metrics.

Without incurring additional capital costs, Carbon Manager consolidates data from all existing IoT devices used across an enterprise’s building facilities with third-party data sources, like utility and weather data. This allows a company to track and report progress towards meeting its CO2 carbon emissions goals in a single, reportable dashboard.

Carbon Manager is unlike other emissions reporting software in that it captures device-level data from major Scope 2 emissions equipment like HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration to provide an unparalleled view of carbon intensity at each site.

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EUGreenDeal--To become independent of Russian natural gas imports by 2027, the European Union is increasing near-term imports of US or Azerbaijan liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The main element of LNG, methane, is the second leading greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. Environmental organizations warn that long-term supply contracts for the fossil LNG will undermine the European Green Deal. The German company Graforce has developed a methane electrolysis technology (plasmalysis) that uses LNG or LPG to produce hydrogen and solid carbon for dioxide-free energy generation. Compared to water electrolysis, plasmalysis requires only one fifth the energy to produce the same amount of hydrogen.

Plasmalysis is an electro-chemical technology that converts incoming LNG/LPG into clean-burning hydrogen and solid, high-purity carbon. A high-frequency plasma field generated by renewable electricity splits energy-rich hydrocarbon compounds (10kWh/kg H2) into hydrogen and solid carbon. This can be sequestered long-term in steel, cement or for soil enhancement.

“The EU can still achieve its decarbonization targets if LNG or LPG is not burned but rather converted into hydrogen and solid carbon using green electricity and our hydrogen plants directly at the terminal or at decentralized locations,” said Dr. Jens Hanke, CTO of Graforce.

Graforce has already built two demo plants – in Berlin and Brandenburg. Three additional projects with renowned investors will be completed by the end of this year: a Methane Plasmalyzer® for decarbonizing natural gas and producing solid carbon in an Austrian refinery, and two for carbon dioxide-free heat and energy generation in a hotel and a 40,000 square meter urban district in Germany.

For the development and customer-specific scaling of its modular plants, Graforce works with global leaders in the fields of engineering, procurement, and construction. The company is currently in the process of expanding its strategic partnerships with financial as well as strategic investors to quickly scale its hydrogen technology worldwide.

About
The German company Graforce is the technology leader in sustainable solutions and carbon dioxide removal technologies. The power-to-X plants produce dioxide-free or -negative hydrogen and synthetic feedstocks – with the highest efficiency and lower infrastructure costs in the multi-megawatt range. Thus, Graforce decarbonizes fossil energies, industrial sectors and the heat, transport and building sectors. www.graforce.com/EN

Every World’s Most Ethical Companies applicant receives a report that outlines their evaluation scores as they compare to honorees, along with exclusive data insights and links to valuable resources to help improve programs.

“Leading with integrity is a must-have in today’s global business environment and being able to accurately measure and analyze the impact your ethics and compliance program makes is more important than ever,” said Michael J. Hershman, President and CEO of the Fairfax Group, co-founder of Transparency International, and member of Ethisphere’s Methodology Advisory Panel. “The World’s Most Ethical Companies application process provides companies with an excellent opportunity to benchmark their programs against the best, and better understand where they excel, where they can still improve, and how they might best help to make the world more just, fair and prosperous.”

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crédit Agricole CIB advised Repsol Ibereólica Renovables Chile SpA—a joint venture between Repsol Chile S.A. (‘Repsol’) and Ibereólica Renovables Chile S.A. (‘Ibereólica’)—on a $118 million project finance debt raise for the construction and operation of Project Atacama (the ‘Project’), a 165.3 MW greenfield wind farm in northern Chile. The Project benefits from a Long-Term Power Purchase Agreement with a sound counterparty.

The project finance structure was tailor made to maximize debt based on both contracted and merchant revenue cash flows, while keeping strong credit metrics. As a result, the transaction received significant interest from several banks and was oversubscribed.

Repsol and Ibereólica formed their joint venture in 2020 in order to develop, build and operate a portfolio of renewable assets in Chile. The joint venture is an integral part of both companies’ commitment to the clean energy space and plans to develop a significant solar PV and wind onshore power capacity in the region. Crédit Agricole CIB looks forward to supporting both companies with their clean energy ambitions.

“Crédit Agricole CIB is honored to have been trusted by Repsol and Ibereólica to raise a competitive financing package, which sets a valuable benchmark for the development of their joint venture in Chile,” said Mathieu Rousson, Managing Director with Crédit Agricole CIB’s Energy and Infrastructure Group – Latin America.

This is the fourth advisory transaction that Crédit Agricole CIB has closed in Chile over the past two years. In addition to Project Atacama, these include the 204 MW Cabo Leones II wind farm (owned by Ibereólica and Global Power Generation); the 101 MW San Pedro PV plant (owned by Global Power Generation); and Generadora Metropolitana’s 1.23 GW multi-technology energy platform. This transaction further solidifies Crédit Agricole CIB’s leadership position in the Chilean energy sector.

Six years later and $37 million in Tri-State exit cost fully repaid, KCEC has lower electricity rates than any Tri-State member coop and will reach 100% daytime solar powered in 2022

TAOS, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After a six-year process, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) has reached a significant milestone in its plan to become one of the cleanest, most cost-effective energy cooperatives in America. KCEC has made the final payment on the $37 million it was charged to exit its decades-long contract with Tri-State Generation and Transmission (Tri-State) in order to stabilize and lower rates while shifting to more renewable, locally-generated power.

A Distribution Cooperative Exit

Since 2013, KCEC’s member owners have been set on creating change. At that time, the coop had experienced 12 wholesale power rate increases in 13 years, was serving a costly, fossil-heavy power mix to its members, and its ability to self-generate renewable power was capped at 5%. KCEC sought price stability, cost decrease, the ability to serve additional renewable energy resources, and to restore local decision-making ability to better serve its member owners.

“We wanted to prepare for a new energy transition and serve our members’ specific needs. We wanted to take direction from our community on what they wanted from us, and within the contract with Tri-State we were unable to deliver,” said Luis A. Reyes, Jr., CEO of KCEC.

At that time, KCEC requested changes from Tri-State on these issues but was denied. Without having to resort to litigation, the coop reached an agreement with Tri-State in 2016 that allowed it to exit its contract for a cost of $37 million. The methodology used to calculate the $37 million figure was based on KCEC’s portion of Tri-State’s generation related debt. KCEC remained a Tri-State Transmission customer. In essence, KCEC pre-paid its financial obligation as a member owner of Tri-State at that time. Remaining Tri-State member coops still owe their portion of Tri-State financial obligation. In this exit model, all remaining Tri-State members were kept whole.

KCEC partnered with Guzman Energy, a wholesale power provider to help finance the exit cost and signed a new, 10-year wholesale power supply contract. The agreement with Guzman Energy provides for lower, fixed wholesale power rates – estimated to save the coop $50-70 million over the term of the contract; no limits on local renewable energy generation; and a return to local decision making that is focused on members and local economic growth.

Phase 1 Transition Delivers Cheaper, Cleaner Power Milestones

In the first six years since the shift, not only has KCEC made the final payment on the exit cost, but it has also achieved the following milestones:

• KCEC has lower power rates than any Tri-State member coop and has some of the lowest power rates among all NM coops
• Total 41 MW of distributed solar, local power generation throughout KCEC’s service territory
• Reaching its goal of providing 100% of daytime energy through solar power
• Developed 15 MW of accompanying battery storage for reliability and resiliency
• Progress toward New Mexico’s statewide objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by the year 2030

“We gave our members a voice to influence the cost and type of power they are served,” added Reyes. “We paid a formula-based exit cost with nothing extra. This is what energy independence and restoration of local community decision-making looks like.”

“KCEC has provided a blueprint for all local coops and their members to be ready for the energy future. We are moving into a world that is going to be less dependent on fossil fuels and more focused on local distributed generation, and KCEC has shown it can be done,” said Jeffrey M. Heit, Principal and Managing Director, Guzman Energy. “Guzman is incredibly proud to be part of KCEC’s energy transition, and we look forward to helping them continue to innovate and move toward their next phase.”

Looking ahead to Phase 2, KCEC will continue to work with Guzman Energy on developing modern, resilient and renewable energy initiatives. KCEC is putting 40 electric vehicle charging stations in place to help reshape the local energy economy in the vision of its member-owners. It will also continue to expand distributed energy resources along with local storage.
