Jordan Ferguson joins H2scan as European Director and Jeff Donato joins H2scan as Director of Safety, Power Storage Systems
VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--H2scan, a world leader in providing sensors for hydrogen economy applications with electric utilities, energy and industrial markets, today announced it has hired Jordan Ferguson to direct the company’s expansion in Europe, as the company broadens its focus into the growing hydrogen economy. Additionally, the company has hired Jeff Donato, a proven expert in power industry battery and storage system safety. Donato will lead the expansion of H2scan’s impact in the power industry for hydrogen safety and reliability.
In his role as European Director, Jordan Ferguson reports to H2scan CEO David Meyers, and supervises the company’s strategic business development in the hydrogen economy that is rapidly expanding across Europe.
A recent report from Norwegian low emissions energy leader Statkraft predicts that green hydrogen will provide up to 20% of power for Europe in 2050; growing from current demand of 30 terawatt hours (TWh) to 1000 TWh in that time.
In his role as Director of Safety, Power Storage Systems, Jeff Donato will take a global approach to expanding H2scan’s reach within the power industry; as battery storage becomes an important part of the growth of green distributed energy resources (DER) – wind and solar – as the industry worldwide moves to decarbonize the energy supply.
H2scan sees significant opportunities for its new Gen-5 hydrogen sensor technology and has recently closed a $70 million investment to help fund the company’s expansion as it pursues hydrogen economy opportunities.
“As the hydrogen economy unfolds, we see great opportunities opening up for our sensing technology and two of the largest are in Europe and in the battery safety market,” said David Meyers. “I look forward to working with both Jordan and Jeff to positively impact the future of hydrogen safety and reliability globally.”
Driving Expansion in Europe
Ferguson has recently served in commercial director roles at UK business consulting firms Imperium Experts and Bio Technical Limited, driving business growth and helping to introduce new products, services and business processes. His work with Bio Technical was focused on carbon capture technologies, biowaste recycling, and biogas.
In addition to Imperium and Bio Technical, Ferguson has worked in management for other firms including Hutcheon Mearns, Valor Energy Groups, TDC Parsons Peebles and Sulzer. This work has included involvement in the energy and industrial parts sectors. His training and education are in engineering and energy management.
“I look forward to helping H2scan expand in the European market,” said Ferguson. “The 10 plus year maintenance-free nature and proven technology of the Gen 5 sensors meets our industrial users’ needs for quality and cost effective operations.”
Bringing Maintenance Free Sensing to Battery Safety
Donato brings executive-level and director-level experience from his time at EnviroGuard. At the company, he worked to help provide safety solutions in the battery spill containment and environmental health and safety training sectors. He also serves as a committee chair with the IEEE Power & Energy Society. He received his degree in marketing from Franklin University.
“H2scan’s unique technology puts it at a significant advantage in the safe hydrogen sphere,” said Donato. “I’m eager to pursue new applications for these sensors and monitors.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mesa Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) (NYSE: MTR) announced today the Trust income distribution for the month of August 2022. Unitholders of record on August 31, 2022 will receive distributions amounting to $0.293212491 per unit, payable on October 31, 2022. The Trust received $256,369, which came from the New Mexico portion of the Trust’s San Juan Basin properties operated by Hilcorp San Juan LP, an affiliate of Hilcorp Energy Company and $331,788, which came from the Hugoton Royalty properties operated by Scout Energy Group V, LP. No income was received in August 2022 from the Colorado portion of the Trust’s San Juan Basin properties operated by SIMCOE LLC, an affiliate of IKAV Energy Inc. or from the Colorado portion of the Trust’s San Juan Basin properties operated by Red Willow Production Company. This month, after the Trust’s withholding for cash reserves and the payment of administrative expenses, income from the distributable net profits was $546,428.
The Trust was formed to own an overriding royalty interest of the net proceeds attributable to certain producing oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field of Kansas and the San Juan Basin fields of New Mexico and Colorado. As described in the Trust's public filings, the amount of the monthly distributions is expected to fluctuate from month to month, depending on the proceeds, if any, received by the Trust as a result of production, oil and natural gas prices and the amount of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. In addition, as further described in the Trust’s most recent filing on Form 10-Q, distributions to unitholders are expected to be materially reduced during 2022, as the Trust intends to increase cash reserves to a total of $2.0 million to provide added liquidity.
Proceeds reported by the working interest owners for any month are not generally representative of net proceeds that will be received by the Trust in future periods. As further described in the Trust’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, production and development costs for the royalty interest have resulted in substantial accumulated excess production costs, which will decrease Trust distributions, and in some periods may result in no Trust distributions. The amount of proceeds, if any, received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions to unitholders) has been and will continue to be directly affected, among other things, by volatility in the industry and revenues and expenses reported to the Trust by working interest owners. Any additional expenses and adjustments, among other things, will reduce proceeds to the Trust, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders.
This press release contains forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given that the expectations contained in this press release will prove to be correct. The working interest owners alone control historical operating data, and handle receipt and payment of funds relating to the royalty properties and payments to the Trust for the related royalty. The Trustee cannot assure that errors or adjustments or expenses accrued by the working interest owners, whether historical or future, will not affect future royalty income and distributions by the Trust. Other important factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include delays in actual results of drilling operations, risks inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas properties, declines in commodity pricing, prices received by working interest owners and other risks described in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in such risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no obligations, to update any of the statements included in this press release. Each unitholder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to its particular circumstances.

HOUSTON & NEVADA, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Red Rock Biofuels LLC, a next-generation producer of low-carbon biofuels, and Frontline BioEnergy, a leading provider of waste and biomass gasification solutions, announce that they have successfully tested their innovative technology that gasifies Red Rock’s residual woody biomass feedstock into high quality syngas for production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel.
The test runs, which the companies completed at Frontline’s headquarters in Nevada, Iowa, used Frontline’s patented TarFreeGas® and PMFreeGas® technologies. The tests demonstrated TarFreeGas® gasifier production of high-quality syngas with excellent tar conversion, as well as PMFreeGas® removal of char and ash from the syngas. The resulting syngas was shown to be suitable for further processing into SAF and renewable diesel. Additional independent analysis of the test results will also be conducted to further verify the results.
“We’re very pleased with the outcome of the steady state test runs,” said Chip Cummins, interim Chief Executive Officer of Red Rock Biofuels and Executive Director at RPA Advisors. “These results validate the significant engineering work that has been done and clearly prove that Red Rock’s sourced residual woody biomass can be used as feedstock on a commercial scale to deliver renewable jet and diesel fuels in support of the aviation industry reaching net-zero emissions.”
“The Red Rock Biofuels’ feedstock worked well in Frontline’s advanced gasification and gas clean-up technology. These tests mark a significant milestone toward the commercial deployment of biomass-to-drop-in fuels projects,” said Jerod Smeenk, CEO of Frontline BioEnergy.
The woody biomass feedstock for the tests was locally sourced in Oregon from the same providers that have agreed to support Red Rock’s feedstock supply once the plant is operational.
Red Rock Biofuels was founded to tackle the growing need for low-carbon, renewable jet and diesel fuels and the growing problem of catastrophic wildfires. By utilizing forest residue that is burned in the winter creating CO2, the facility will enable forest management that improves forest health and resilience. The facility will also be one of the first SAF plants in North America to produce drop-in fuels from woody biomass and is designed to produce approximately 20 million gallons per year of low-carbon intensity renewable biofuels.
About Frontline BioEnergy
Frontline BioEnergy, LLC was founded in 2005 to provide advanced gasification technology for conversion of biomass and waste into energy and products. Frontline is also a developer of negative carbon advanced fuels projects.
About Red Rock Biofuels
Red Rock Biofuels was founded in 2011 to tackle the escalating problem of catastrophic wildfire in the Western U.S. and the rapidly growing need for renewable, low-carbon jet and diesel fuels. Red Rock is building one of the world’s first commercial-scale cellulosic biorefineries in Lakeview, Oregon to convert woody biomass residue into SAF and cellulosic renewable diesel fuels.

VENLO, the Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today released its 2021 Sustainability Report, outlining significant achievements in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) as part of its strategy to become a stronger and more sustainable leader in providing Sample to Insight solutions that unlock valuable molecular insights for customers in the Life Science and Molecular Diagnostics industries.
“As the world faces key challenges, from international peace to climate change, at QIAGEN we are acting to show we are more than just a business. We are striving to widen access to healthcare for the world’s most vulnerable people, and taking action to protect our environment – for example by lowering our greenhouse gas intensity, reducing plastic packaging, and launching eco-friendly sample processing kits”, said Thierry Bernard, CEO of QIAGEN. “We made significant progress in 2021, but we still have much to do – and no time to lose. I am proud of the ongoing commitment of our more than 6,100 QIAGENers around the world who are making an impact every day in line with our vision of making improvements in life possible.”
Environment: visible progress in lowering greenhouse gas intensity
In terms of environment, the report lays out the company’s energy and emissions strategies. In 2021, QIAGEN lowered its greenhouse gas intensity, i.e., its Scope 1 and 2 emissions divided by net sales, by 16% compared to the previous year. The company recently committed to reducing carbon emissions to reach net zero by 2050. By 2030, the company aims to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% through electric vehicles, green electricity, LED lighting and green heating solutions, among others. QIAGEN is already drawing 40% of its electricity from “green” power suppliers.
Similarly, plastic usage is also sinking, with the current footprint measuring 9.6% smaller compared to the previous year. For example, QIAGEN introduced plant-based material alternatives – either based on straw or paper – to replace the expanded polystyrene coolers in cold-chain shipments in 2021. QIAGEN also launched the first kits in the eco-friendly QIAwave portfolio of sample processing kits. Thanks to less internal plastic packaging, smaller bottles and collection tubes made of 100% recycled plastic, the new kit design needs up to 63% less plastic and 42% less cardboard.
Social: committed to leaving no-one behind
One of QIAGEN's key ESG goals is to improve access to healthcare globally. E.g., the company is committed to expanding screening for tuberculosis (TB) with modern blood-based assays for latent TB infection in regions with high rates of disease but limited resources. In 2021, the company reached a major milestone: more than 100 million QuantiFERON tests for tuberculosis have been made available in over 130 countries. QIAGEN launched QIAreach QuantiFERON-TB (QIAreach QFT), a test featuring ultrasensitive digital detection built into a fully portable device, in October 2021. It is ideal for low-resource, decentralized and rural areas.
Also in 2021, the company’s test kits have enabled screening of one million women for human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cervical cancer. Here, too, QIAGEN focuses on low-resource areas.
“Our aim to provide equitable access to all QIAGEN products is proof of our commitment to leaving no one behind. Across all regions and business areas, we are working to ensure low-resource settings and vulnerable populations can access affordable diagnostics solutions to prevent disease and improve health and wellbeing,” said Thierry Bernard.
Governance: responsible business conduct is key to long-term success
The governance of an organization – how it operates and treats customers, staff, suppliers and communities – has great impact on all stakeholders. As one example, the global procedures of QIAGEN for clinical studies are conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki Good Clinical Practice and ISO 20916.
QIAGEN is committed to conducting business lawfully, ethically and with high integrity around the world. To support this commitment, a comprehensive Compliance Program has been established that extends to all QIAGEN employees as well as third-party intermediaries such as distributors or agents. As an example, all new suppliers are required to commit to strict QIAGEN procurement standards. Employees also receive regular in-person compliance training, complemented by mandatory online trainings in their local language. In 2020 and 2021, our employees completed more than 7,000 training modules.
Recognized for sustainability efforts
For its sustainability efforts QIAGEN was recognized by the rating agencies ISS-ESG, MSCI as well as Sustainalytics which all specialize in sustainability.
ISS-ESG has awarded QIAGEN “Prime” status (ISS ESG C+), placing it among the top 20% of the 199 companies listed in the “Health Care Equipment & Supplies” sector. ISS-ESG evaluates more than 100 industry-specific indicators. In its first rating by MSCI ESG Research, QIAGEN received the grade A. The MSCI rating shows how resilient a company is to long-term, financially relevant ESG risks. Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings measure a company’s exposure to industry-specific material ESG risks and how well a company is managing those risks. In its most recent rating, it placed QIAGEN once again in the low-risk group.
