Avista, McKinstry, Katerra and Eastern Washington University demonstrate the potential for positive, sustainable solutions when industry leaders work together

SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The five-story, 159,000-square-foot Catalyst building opened its doors today, marking the culmination of a collaborative effort of diverse industry partners to create a transformative, real-world prototype for sustainable development. Anchoring the new South Landing Eco-District neighborhood in Spokane, the Catalyst building and the adjacent Scott Morris Center for Energy Innovation demonstrate new building techniques, materials and a sustainable shared energy model that is central to the goal of making Catalyst one of the largest zero energy buildings in North America and one of the first zero carbon buildings to be certified by the International Living Future Institute.


Catalyst is the result of a unique collaboration between a cross-industry team of partners including Avista, McKinstry, Katerra and Eastern Washington University (EWU). The South Landing neighborhood started with a bold vision when Avista’s then-CEO and current chairman Scott Morris conceived and set out to create “the five smartest blocks in the world.” Morris’s idea was to create a real-world model for sustainable, efficient and forward-looking development in which smart buildings are deeply integrated with the grid and talk to each other to better manage demand, while leveraging on-site renewable energy generation and storage during peak loads.

This is an important milestone to celebrate. With the foundation for the five smartest blocks in the world now in place, Catalyst and the South Landing Eco-District prove what is possible when industry leaders work together to think big and test bold ideas,” said Scott Morris, Chairman of Avista. “What we have created is so transformative and innovative, it will serve as a new model for collaboration across industries. Together, we are reimagining the future of energy and sustainable development. What we learn will support a reliable, affordable, and clean energy future for all of us.”

Catalyst and the South Landing Eco-District are more than just another smart building project, they are the cornerstones of a fully integrated neighborhood that will serve as a living laboratory for new sustainability technologies, materials, construction techniques and operational practices,” said Dean Allen, CEO of national construction and energy services firm McKinstry. “Catalyst demonstrates how the built environment can be constructed and operated for our partners, our clients, our communities and our planet to deliver sustainability and impact, not just physical space.”

The Catalyst building employs innovative, integrated systems for on-site renewable energy generation using photovoltaic arrays, heating, lighting, and exhaust heat and gray water recovery, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to optimize operation.

Catalyst’s design, by Michael Green Architecture, uses roughly 4,000 cubic meters of locally sourced mass timber products produced by Katerra as both structural and design elements, enabling Catalyst to achieve near-passive house levels of thermal performance. Incorporating mass timber into Catalyst also reduced the need for steel and concrete, helping to collectively offset approximately 5,000 metric tons of carbon, equating to 1,100 cars off the road for a year.

Katerra’s team is so grateful to have partnered with Avista and McKinstry on this landmark project,” said Craig Curtis, Katerra’s Chief Architect Building Platforms Architecture. “Our hope is that Catalyst will spark a new generation of similar high-performance, low-carbon buildings. We believe mass timber is much more than a structural building material, it is an opportunity to guide building design and construction towards a future of sustainable building on an entirely new scale.”

This project is really special for MGA because it brings together a lot of the thought and ambition we have around how we can start to change both the environmental performance and the affordability of buildings,” said Michael Green, Principal of Michael Green Architecture. “It is the beginning of what we think will be the transformation of the construction industry, moving away from the more carbon intensive materials like concrete and steel, and towards mass timber as the best choice when making a carbon neutral building.”

Catalyst and the recently opened Morris Center were designed in tandem to test the innovative new shared energy eco-district model. The main idea of the eco-district is to have buildings that work together to actively manage energy loads and balance on-site energy demand, generation and storage in real-time to reduce the impact on the grid. A centralized heating, cooling and electrical system reliably, sustainably and affordably serves the energy needs of current and future buildings in the South Landing development. In addition to heat pumps, boilers and chillers, the Morris Center houses thermal and electrical storage, as well as onsite renewable energy generation that can be stored and shared. South Landing and Catalyst show how utilities can partner with property owners to operate their buildings in a manner that better utilizes the existing grid and could lead to a more affordable, clean energy future.

Eastern Washington University is the anchor tenant for Catalyst, with its College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (CSTEM) re-locating its electrical engineering, computer science and design programs to the new building. CSTEM is also creating a new program, computer engineering, which will be housed there as well. Additionally, EWU’s College of Business, several programs from the College of Health Science and Public Health, and EWU’s Creative Writing MFA program will also be based in Catalyst.

This will allow more than EWU 1,000 students and faculty to work alongside private industry tenants who will provide hands-on, practical, and multi-disciplinary experiential learning opportunities.

We are so grateful for this unique partnership with Avista, McKinstry and Katerra,” said EWU interim President David May. “Eastern is proud to be a leader in this inspiring expansion of Spokane’s University District. The Catalyst creates tremendous learning and employment opportunities for our students, as academia and groundbreaking companies will unite to spark innovation.”

Catalyst and the South Landing project will be unveiled in a virtual grand opening event at 1 p.m. PDT (4 p.m. EDT) today, featuring short presentations by representatives of the project partners and a video walk-through of the Catalyst building and the Morris Center. There will also be an online media availability immediately following the grand opening event. More information and the embedded livestream of the event can be found here: http://www.catalystspokane.com/south-landing/.

Tigo Enhanced aims to increase customers’ confidence in selecting an MLPE device, while ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution.


CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#rapidshutdown--Tigo Energy, Inc. has launched a joint marketing program, called Tigo Enhanced, in conjunction with its major inverter partners to make it even easier for customers to choose Tigo's reliable module level power electronics (MLPE) for their solar PV projects.

Under the program, inverter partners that use Tigo technology will include a Tigo Enhanced logo on their specification sheets and product marketing material. The Tigo Enhanced logo creates a clear visual link between the Tigo MLPE that gets installed on the back of each PV module and the inverter that integrates Tigo’s technology - giving customers the assurance of a reliable, plug and play solution for their PV projects.

“We have the most reliable and cost-effective rapid shutdown solution available, along with the largest network of inverters that our customers can choose from,” said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo. “We wanted to create a program that makes it simple for our clients to select our trusted rapid shutdown solution with the inverter of their choice.”

Customers can look for the Tigo Enhanced logo on the inverter and know that the system has been designed to work with Tigo’s MLPE that are connected to each module.

“So now, the only thing our customers need to do to benefit from the experience of the leading solution in the market is verify that the inverter they choose carries the Tigo Enhanced logo - very simple,” added Zvi.

The launch of the Tigo Enhanced program comes on the heels of Tigo introducing its latest MLPE for rapid shutdown, the TS4-A-2F. Tigo’s rapid shutdown solutions are certified as UL Photovoltaic Rapid Shutdown Systems (PVRSS) - an electrical code requirement - with hundreds of inverter types.

Across the US, every new rooftop PV installation is required - or will soon be required - to have module level rapid shutdown capability for the safety of first responders. As a result, many installers and PV system owners are looking for reliable and cost-effective ways to meet the requirements and protect their assets.

“Many people are looking into rapid shutdown solutions and MLPE for the first time. The Tigo Enhanced program is all about making it simple and straightforward for them to get a reliable solution that meets their needs,” said John Lerch, Tigo’s Global Marketing Director.

Tigo equipment is installed with PV systems on all seven continents with thousands of different inverter models that are helping produce gigawatt hours of clean energy every single day.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "North America Fracking Chemicals Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The North America fracking chemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 8.77% during the forecast period

Factors such as high active rig count, longer lateral lengths, increased number of frac stages per well, and the amount of fracking fluid used per frac stage are expected to drive the market. Moreover, the market is expected to be driven by the completion of a large number of uncompleted wells in the United States. However, volatile crude oil prices and the environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing are restraining the hydraulic fracturing services market and, in turn, the fracking chemicals market in North America.

  • The water-based fracking fluid accounts for the largest share in the North America fracking chemicals market, owing to several advantages over other types and being the most preferred type in shale gas plays, in turn augmenting the market growth.
  • Alternative fracking techniques, like waterless fracking, are expected to create ample opportunities in the market studied. The companies are witnessing an increase in R&D spending, to find a suitable alternative to freshwater usage. Similar trends are being witnessed in the usage of green chemicals, propane gel, and other technologies, thus creating substantial growth opportunities.
  • United States was the largest crude oil producers in the world, in 2019. During the past decade, the shale drilling regions of the United States have expanded the use of horizontal and directional wells, further driving the fracking chemicals market in the country.

Key Market Trends

Water-Based Fluid Segment to Dominate the Market

  • Among different fluid types, water-based fracking fluid accounts for the largest market. This type of fluids has a lower viscosity than normal water and achieves complex fracture structures often connecting to primary fractures, which enhance the permeability around the wellbore, substantially.
  • Moreover, for fracturing in shale gas plays, the water-based fluid is predominantly used fracturing fluid. For the gas fields, the slickwater type water-based fluid is commonly used. For shale oil, water-based fluids contain the polymers and crosslinkers to increase the viscosity of fracking fluids, required for relatively high-pressure shale oil fields.
  • As of 2018, the United States continued to lead the global shale gas production. Pennsylvania and Texas account for more than 50% of the shale production in the country.
  • During 2008 to 2018, the share of shale gas in total natural gas production of the United States has increased from 16% to 70%. During the forecast period, the shale gas is expected to continue driving the growth of the natural gas production in the country, owing to increasing technological developments in drilling and completion, particularly in the areas of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
  • Hence, the expected growth in investments for the development of the shale gas fields, particularly in the United States, are expected to drive the demand for water-based fracturing fluids and in turn fracking chemicals during the forecast period.

United States to Dominate the Market

  • The United States accounted for the majority of the fracking chemicals demand, on account of a large number of wells being fracked every year. This has been favored by the low breakeven price and technological advancement in hydraulic fracturing.
  • The oil and gas industry, especially in the United States, is witnessing a shift from vertical wells to horizontal and directional wells, to increase the productivity from unconventional reserves. Also, the lateral length in the horizontal wells has increased significantly in recent times, resulting in an increase in demand for fracking fluid and in turn fracking chemicals.
  • In the United States, during the past decade, the shale drilling regions of the United States have expanded the use of horizontal and directional drilling activities, adding thousands of feet in the lateral run to what previously had been vertical-only drill strings.
  • In December 2018, the US shale and tight plays produced 65 bcf/d of natural gas (70% of total US dry gas production) and about 7 mb/d of crude oil (60% of total US oil production). While in December 2008, shale gas and tight oil accounted for 16% of the total US gas production and about 12% of the total US crude oil production.
  • Further, the drilling and completion spending in the country has picked up its pace, with the spending reaching USD 138 billion in 2018, representing an increase of around 89% compared to the spending in 2016.
  • Moreover, increased lateral lengths and greater drilling complexity are expected to further increase the requirement for fracking chemicals in the United States.

Competitive Landscape

The North America fracking chemicals market is moderately fragmented. Some of the key players are Halliburton Company, BASF SE, The Dow Chemical Company, CES Energy Solutions Corp, and Solvay SA.

  • Programs to increase college readiness and advance math and science skills
  • Independent school districts in Midland and Ector County in Texas and Carlsbad Municipal School District in New Mexico to implement classroom-based and virtual programs
  • Programs shown to improve Advanced Placement® exam performance

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) and the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) are bringing college readiness and foundational education programs to students in Permian-area schools in Midland Independent School District and Ector County Independent School District in Texas and the Carlsbad Municipal School District in New Mexico.



Two core programs will come to the Permian region, including the College Readiness Program — a comprehensive, three-year program designed to increase student participation and performance in Advanced Placement® coursework in math, science, computer science and English.

The second program, called Laying the Foundation, provides educators of 3rd through 12th grade students with hands-on training, strategies and resources to raise academic rigor and prepare students for advanced critical and creative thinking. The programs will start in the 2020-21 academic year and can be implemented in both classroom-based and virtual settings.

“ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin, and we’ve heard from parents and educators that these programs would make a difference for their students and children,” said Bart Cahir, senior vice president of unconventional at ExxonMobil. “Through our association with the National Math and Science Initiative, we’ve been able to increase the value we bring to communities where we operate by strengthening opportunities for today’s students and generations to come.”

ExxonMobil helped launch NMSI in 2007 to improve math and science education across the United States. Schools that implement NMSI programs have been shown to improve Advanced Placement® exam performance up to five times greater than the national average and improve teacher capacity to advance student achievement at all levels. Since its founding, NMSI has helped two million students and more than 65,000 teachers.

“Proficiency in math and science is crucial to our country’s capacity for innovation and future economic growth, yet a growing number of today’s students lack foundational knowledge and skills in these subjects,” said Dr. Bernard A Harris, Jr., chief executive officer of the National Math and Science Initiative and the first Black astronaut to complete a spacewalk. “With ExxonMobil’s generous support, we’re able to continue addressing this critical gap by expanding to school districts in the Permian region.”

NMSI programs include collaboration and goal setting with partner schools, intensive teacher training and support from expert educators, student study resources, lab and classroom supplies, exam subsidies and greater access to advanced courses to broaden student participation, particularly among Black, Latino, female and military-dependent students. The nonprofit organization uses evidenced-based programming and has expanded its online training and resources to support teachers, students and families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ExxonMobil has a long history of support for communities where it operates. Earlier this year, ExxonMobil supported the West Texas Food Bank and the Carlsbad Municipal School District to help those facing difficult economic circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic. ExxonMobil is a founding member of the Permian Strategic Partnership, an alliance of 19 energy companies, working in partnership with community leaders to address public education, health care, housing, infrastructure and workforce development.

Next phase of project feasibility study to commence, will develop facility design to support capture, use and storage of 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually

CHICAGO & HOUSTON & PARIS & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On September 1, the United States Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE-NETL) awarded $1.5 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development to support the initial engineering analysis and advancement of the LH CO2MENT Colorado Project, which was the subject of a scoping study launched earlier this year. The commercial-scale carbon-capture project, based in Florence, Colorado, is a partnership of Svante Inc., LafargeHolcim, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC (OLCV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Occidental, and Total.


With the successful completion of the initial scoping study in June 2020 and confirmation of DOE funding, the partnership has committed to the next project phase to evaluate the feasibility of the facility designed to capture up to 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year directly from the Holcim cement plant and the natural gas-fired steam generator, which would be sequestered underground permanently by Occidental.

“Oxy Low Carbon Ventures is leveraging Occidental’s 40 years of experience in securely storing CO2 in geologic formations to advance permanent sequestration as a solution that supports global emissions reduction efforts through carbon retirement,” said Oxy Low Carbon Ventures President Richard Jackson. “This partnership is a powerful example of how cross-industry collaboration can help progress carbon capture, utilization and storage projects that will be critical to accelerating the transition to a lower-carbon world.”

The carbon-capture facility under review will employ Svante’s solid sorbent technology to capture carbon directly from the cement kiln as a non-intrusive “end-of-the-pipe’’ solution.

“We have been very vocal about the importance we place on finding and accelerating global solutions to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Jamie Gentoso, CEO, U.S. Cement for LafargeHolcim. “Effective and efficient large scale carbon capture technology will be a profound advancement for many industries. This U.S. DOE grant is a significant step in advancing this first-of-its-kind, large-scale technology, and we’re proud to partner with Svante, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures and Total to bring it to life.”

“This project along with the U.S. DOE funding is an important external validation that we are becoming a significant global technology provider in carbon capture space across a range of large-scale industrial applications like cement and blue hydrogen,” said Claude Letourneau, president and CEO of Svante Inc.

“Total brings its experience in this new phase of feasibility to support the development of Svante’s promising CO2 capture technology. Together with our industrial partners and thanks to public-private initiative, we aim at accelerating the deployment, at scale, of innovative and cost-efficient technologies, contributing to decarbonize industry and curb CO2 emissions,” said Marie-Noëlle Semeria, senior vice president, Group CTO at Total.

Electricore, Inc. will facilitate management of the federal grant, and Kiewit Engineering Group Inc. will lead the engineering development. This joint initiative follows the recently-launched Pilot Plant Project CO2MENT between Svante, LafargeHolcim and Total in Canada at the Lafarge Richmond cement plant, where progress has been made towards re-injecting captured CO2 into concrete.

Fortistar, Rumpke Waste & Recycling and Chesapeake Utilities Corporation Announce $33 Million Project to Address Global Climate Change

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CNG--Fortistar, a privately-owned investment firm that addresses global challenges, and Rumpke Waste & Recycling, one of the nation’s largest privately-owned residential and commercial waste and recycling firms, announced commencement of construction of the Noble Road Landfill Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Project, a $33 million transportation decarbonization project in Shiloh, Ohio.

The project will extract and capture waste methane from the Noble Road landfill in Ohio and transform it into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The RNG will be distributed through a key partner, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation affiliate Aspire Energy’s pipelines. The fuel will be dispensed in fueling stations for natural gas vehicles via Trustar Energy, a Fortistar portfolio company. Like carbon dioxide, methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to climate change, but is 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. The Noble Road Project will capture 20,323 tons of methane emissions, the equivalent of 49,940 tons of carbon dioxide, per year and produce RNG. Instead of simply flaring or burning the methane, the naturally occurring gas will generate sustainable energy and jobs in the community. It will produce 6.9 million gallons of gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE) per year, which is enough to fuel 725 biofuel trucks—displacing diesel fuel for those vehicles—and creating approximately 35 to 40 construction jobs and three permanent green operations jobs to ensure the ongoing production of this sustainable energy source.

“We believe that this should be the future for all landfills. At Fortistar, we repurpose the captured methane in a way that benefits local communities, environments and economies,” said Mark Comora, President at Fortistar. “That’s why we’re working with major innovators like Chesapeake Utilities Corporation, Air Liquide and partnering with Rumpke, which was recognized this year by Deloitte as one of the best managed companies in the U.S.”

“Our commitment is to the communities where we operate facilities and service customers,” said Area President, Andrew Rumpke. “Partnering with Fortistar on a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Project at the Noble Road Landfill aligns with our mission to deliver complete service solutions that provide long-term, positive and sustainable environmental and economic impacts. This project does just that.”

“As a collaborator across the renewable natural gas development, distribution and transmission value chain, our Company is committed to investing in innovative energy solutions for our customers while lowering the carbon footprint of our system,” said Jeff Householder, President and CEO of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. “This unique project enables us to utilize our existing natural gas gathering assets to inject RNG into our system and deliver to our customers. Because of the magnitude of this project’s benefit, once flowing, the RNG volume will represent nearly 10 percent of Aspire Energy’s entire system.”

The project includes the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility that will utilize advanced, patented technology to treat landfill gas by removing carbon dioxide and other components to purify the gas and produce pipeline quality RNG. The process includes proprietary membranes provided by Air Liquide, a multinational leading company in gases, technologies and services for industry and health and the second largest supplier of industrial gases in over 80 countries.

This Noble Road Landfill RNG Project advances an aggressive renewable fuels growth strategy at Fortistar aimed at helping businesses and public agencies dramatically reduce GHG emissions with a cost-effective and proven solution today. The project is the fourth of 12 new Fortistar RNG projects with an investment of nearly $500 million, which is expected to enter construction over the next year. When completed over the next three years, these new projects will help produce 120 million GGE of RNG and reduce U.S. transportation emissions by 2 million metric tons of CO2 annually, which is the equivalent of taking approximately 424,628 passenger cars off the road.

Rumpke Waste & Recycling was named one of the 2020 U.S. Best Managed Companies. The award, sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, recognizes the best managed private companies in the country. Additionally, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation was recently recognized as a Top Workplace in Delaware for the ninth consecutive year. Chesapeake Utilities is one of only two companies to receive this honor nine consecutive years.

Williams to build and lead EnCore’s operations team, as company continues transition to E&P operator

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Midland-based EnCore Permian (EnCore) announced today that Ted Williams has joined the company as Partner and Chief Operating Officer (COO). Williams is responsible for building out and leading EnCore’s growing operations department, as the company makes a material transformation from a historically transactional leasehold and mineral acquisition firm, to an oil and natural gas exploration and production company. As part of this transition, EnCore will deploy its first rig in north Reeves and Culberson counties at the end of this year.


“We are at a pivotal point in our journey and excited about our future as we continue to capitalize on opportunities to successfully transition into a leading E&P operator,” said J.D. Smith, EnCore Permian Chief Executive Officer. “Ted has an extensive background in A&D, minerals, upstream exploration, and working within leadership teams to transact and grow in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. We are confident that Ted’s new role as Partner and COO of EnCore will be a key component as we build on our successful track record and execute on powerful strategic initiatives in one of the leading oil and gas development regions in the U.S., the Permian Basin.”

“I am thrilled to have partnered with EnCore and joined their leadership team,” said Williams. “I look forward to continuing to expand upon EnCore’s proven track record of success, assembling a best-in-class operations team to position us as a premier E&P partner in the Delaware and Midland basins, and beyond.”

Founded in 2017 by J.D. Smith and Josh Lorenz as a successor to PetroLima, LLC, EnCore began as a leasehold and mineral acquisition firm investing more than $200 million in the purchase of over 33,000 acres across 100 deals. The company has quickly grown and transitioned those strategies into an upstream exploration and production company. EnCore currently has approximately 10,000 acres of horizontal drill-ready assets in the Midland and Delaware Basins. To support this anticipated drilling activity, Williams has begun building out the company’s operations team, most recently adding Davis Walker as Vice President of Exploration and Tyler Thomason as Vice President of Operations.

"We are especially pleased to have Davis Walker and Tyler Thomason round out our operations team with Ted. We see these additions as analogous to the 1990 Dallas Cowboys trifecta of Aikman, Irvin and Smith; we are on track to win some championships," said Smith.

About Ted Williams

Williams has a long and demonstrated history in the energy industry. While a significant portion of his background is in energy finance, Williams most recently served in executive officer roles in partnership with Luxe Energy and Luxe Minerals. As President of Luxe Minerals, Williams grew the company to a core 15,000 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin. Upon his departure, Luxe Minerals had material cash flow and a healthy balance sheet. Williams also served as Vice President of Business Development for Luxe Energy, where he was integral in establishing the company’s operated position, creating drilling capital financing, negotiating commercial contracts, managing relationships with potential buyers, and managing banking relationships. Ultimately, Williams helped Luxe Energy become a 35,000 net acre Delaware basin company producing 25,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per day from 33 horizontal wells with another strong balance sheet. More information about Williams’ professional background can be found here.

About EnCore Permian:

Founded in 2017, EnCore Permian is an oil and gas exploration and production company primarily focused in the Permian Basin region of West Texas and southern New Mexico. Currently, EnCore Permian has operated assets, non-operated assets, and mineral interests in both the Midland and Delaware Basins. EnCore is headquartered in Midland, Texas, with the Operations department located in Austin.
