MUFG leads approximately $420 million in Green Loan construction financing and Wells Fargo to provide a tax equity commitment of $195 million for 296 MW of projects in Ohio and North Carolina

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leeward Renewable Energy (“LRE” or “Company”) today announced that it has closed approximately $420 million in construction to term financing from MUFG Bank Ltd. and a $195 million tax equity commitment from Wells Fargo for its Big Plain Solar Facility located in London, Ohio and its Oak Trail Solar Facility located near Moyock, North Carolina.


MUFG served as the Green Loan Structuring Agent, Coordinating Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent for the construction to term financing, arranging financing commitments from eight financial institutions and Export Development Canada (EDC). The debt was issued under the Green Loan Principles, which aim to facilitate and support environmentally sustainable economic activity.

“We are pleased to have secured financing for our Big Plain and Oak Trail projects, marking another significant milestone in the development of our solar energy portfolio,” commented Chris Loehr, Senior Vice President of Finance. “These agreements demonstrate the continued confidence financial institutions hold in our project portfolio and performance as we continue to execute on our contracted 2022 – 2023 pipeline. We appreciate the continued support from each of our participating financial institutions, particularly under terms that help advance and enhance LRE’s own environmental and social initiatives.”

“MUFG is proud to have partnered with Leeward Renewable Energy on another important project,” said Beth Waters, Managing Director, Project Finance, MUFG. “Supporting our clients in building sustainable and renewable energy sources is a crucial tenet of our business, and we look forward to working closely with Leeward on future projects.”

In 2021, Wells Fargo established its Institute for Sustainable Finance, which supports clients and communities to accelerate the transition to an equitable, low‑carbon economy, including the deployment of $500 billion in financing to sustainable businesses and projects by 2030. Approximately $68 billion in sustainable finance was deployed in 2021.

“We are proud to provide tax equity financing to Leeward for this solar portfolio,” said Samantha Buechner, director in Wells Fargo’s Renewable Energy & Environmental Finance group. “We look forward to continuing to support Leeward and the transition to a low-carbon economy.”

The Big Plain and Oak Trail Solar facilities are currently under construction and, when completed, will provide a combined 296 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to Verizon Communications under a long-term power purchase agreement. Both projects are expected to reach commercial operation by mid-2023.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQX: KGEIF) is providing an update on the Emery 17-3H well (98.725% working interest), the Brock 9-3H well (100% working interest) and the Glenn 16-3H well (100% working interest), in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.


Emery 17-3H Well

The Emery 17-3H well has averaged about 704 Barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) (547 Barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”)) for the last ten days as the well has been flowing back the completion stimulation fluid.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are extremely pleased about the early performance of the Emery 17-3H well. These strong early results are occurring while the well is still flowing up casing as the tubing is scheduled to be installed in the coming weeks.

To put the well performance in perspective, the forecasted 30-day proved curve case initial production rate (IP30) utilized by our third-party engineering firm for our December 31, 2021 reserve report was 388 BOEPD (“Reserve Report IP30”), while the initial 30-day type curve used by the Company’s management for wells in the corridor assumes a 472 BOEPD IP30 rate (“Management IP30”). The Emery 17-3H well 10-day IP rate is higher than the comparable 10-day rate for both the Barnes 8-4H well that was drilled earlier this year and the Glenn 16-2H well. The Glenn 16-2H well was drilled a few years ago in the corridor and was completed with the first generation of our latest completion design. The Barnes 8-4H and the Glenn 16-2H wells ended up with IP30 rates that were about 1.5 and 1.6 times higher, respectively, than the Reserve Report IP30.

Based on the current performance of the well and the expectation that it will perform similarly to our previous core area wells, we anticipate that the well will end up with an IP30 rate that is much higher than the Reserve Report IP30 and above the Management IP30. However, there can be no assurance as to what the Emery 17-3H well’s IP30 rate or ultimate productivity will be.”

Brock 9-3H Well and Glenn 16-3H Well

The Brock 9-3H well and the Glenn 16-3H well have been successfully fracture stimulated, and our team is currently drilling out the fracture stimulation plugs. It is anticipated that flow back on both wells will start later this week.

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") reflect natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. The type curve utilized by the Company’s management is the average of the 7 Caney wells that were drilled prior to December 31st, 2021, are located in the Corridor (well names can be found on the Company’s Corporate presentation), with lateral lengths normalized to a 4,900 ft lateral length, the other assumptions are the same as in the Company’s December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation.

Readers should be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company's December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2021, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 8, 2022.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the timing of and expected results from planned wells development, the anticipated IP30 rate of the Emery 17-3H well, tubing is scheduled to be installed in the coming weeks, and anticipated timing on beginning the flowback for the Brock 9-3H and Glenn 16-3H wells. Forward-looking information is based on plans and estimates of management and interpretations of data by the Company's technical team at the date the data is provided and is subject to several factors and assumptions of management, including that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that required regulatory approvals will be available when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the offset operator’s operations will proceed as expected by management, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the price of oil will be sustained or increase, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company's business, its ability to advance its business strategy and the industry as a whole. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause plans, estimates and actual results to vary materially from those projected in such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause the forward-looking information in this news release to change or to be inaccurate include, but are not limited to, the risk that any of the assumptions on which such forward looking information is based vary or prove to be invalid, including that the Company or its subsidiaries is not able for any reason to obtain and provide the information necessary to secure required approvals or that required regulatory approvals are otherwise not available when required, that unexpected geological results are encountered, that equipment failures, permitting delays, labor or contract disputes or shortages of equipment or labor are encountered, the risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration and development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, that the offset operator’s operations have unexpected adverse effects on the Company’s operations, that completion techniques require further optimization, that production rates do not match the Company’s assumptions, that very low or no production rates are achieved, that the price of oil will decline, that the Company is unable to access required capital, that occurrences such as those that are assumed will not occur, do in fact occur, and those conditions that are assumed will continue or improve, do not continue or improve, and the other risks and uncertainties applicable to exploration and development activities and the Company's business as set forth in the Company's management discussion and analysis and its annual information form, both of which are available for viewing under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com, any of which could result in delays, cessation in planned work or loss of one or more concessions and have an adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.

Multi-year contracts with large, international customers across the Middle East and Europe valued at $1.8 million


CALGARY, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$BLN #TSX--Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected safety technology, today announced strong international customer commitments through a series of multi-year deals secured across the Middle East and Europe in fiscal 2022.

Blackline Safety closed its largest contract to date in the Middle East with a three-year value of almost $500,000 with OQ Oman, a global integrated energy company operating in 17 countries. OQ Oman is adopting Blackline’s G7c cloud-connected wearable with two-way emergency voice calling and Push-to-Talk service that provides walkie-talkie-like functionality.

Earlier this year, Blackline Safety was also successful in partnering with its first water and wastewater customer in the Middle East, signing with Veolia, a French multi-national water management, waste management and energy services company with operations in nearly 50 countries and 2021 revenue of €28.5 billion. Building on the multiple water customers Blackline has previously secured, Veolia is using the G7c wearables purchased with two-way emergency voice calling and Push-to-Talk service to protect workers in confined spaces at its wastewater treatment facilities. With a three-year deal value of approximately $200,000, Veolia has deployed G7c across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Qatar, with potential for further growth in device and service revenue.

“These multi-year contracts underscore Blackline Safety’s ability to out-compete other safety providers, driving value and data into health, safety, environment and quality programs through connectivity,” said Sean Stinson, Chief Growth Officer, Blackline Safety. “Our continued success in the Middle East also validates our past investments in expanding our international footprint to provide our world-class connected safety products and services around the globe. We now protect over 150,000 workers across more than 70 countries.”

Blackline Safety’s recent performance in the Middle East has been fueled by prior strategic growth investments, including the hiring of local sales personnel, establishing distributor partnerships, and opening an office in Dubai late last year to better serve customers in the region. The company hosted its first regional distributor meeting, alongside a tradeshow presence, at the ADIPEC 2022 conference and exhibition that ran from October 31 through November 3, 2022 in Abu Dhabi.

New customers in Europe

In Germany, earlier this fall, a leading power generation company engaged in the production and management of electricity and gas, the treatment of wastewater and the operation of landfill sites, invested in 160 G7c personal gas detection devices paired with a five-year service plan. The deal, with a five-year contract value of approximately $600,000, was secured via Blackline’s distributor in Germany, ICOdata GmbH.

Said Managing Director at ICOdata, Roman Bucala, “Our client is committed to keeping workers safe across its multiple operations and has acknowledged the technological leadership of cloud-connected G7c’s, which offer the highest level of protection to its workers available today. We are delighted to partner with Blackline Safety on this important project.”

In Italy, Blackline Safety secured two contracts worth more than $500,000 via distribution partners in the last few months. The first saw RAM S.r.l, Refinery of Milazzo in Sicily, purchase 234 G7c personal gas detection devices and 6 G7 EXO area monitors with three-year service plans. The deal was brokered with help from Blackline partner GIS International S.r.l. The second deal was a service renewal for 150 Blackline devices at an oil refinery in Sardinia. The workers using the devices are monitored in real-time 24/7 by Blackline’s Safety Operations Centre.

About Blackline Safety

Blackline Safety is a technology leader driving innovation in the industrial workforce through IoT. With connected safety devices and predictive analytics, Blackline enables companies to drive towards zero safety incidents and improved operational performance.

GRC will partner with Carbon-Z, The Halston Group, The Data Shed, and Proact to discuss this data centre solution and its impact on the rising costs of power which pose a serious challenge to healthcare and the NHS

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GRC (Green Revolution Cooling), the leader in immersion cooling for data centres, announced today that Paul Edmondson, VP of Sales, EMEA will participate in a panel at GIANT Health London 2022, discussing how immersion cooling enables healthcare entities to reduce the impact of the rising costs of power. The conference is taking place December 6-7 at the Business Design Centre, 52 Upper St, N1 0QH London, England. GRC’s panel presentation is titled The Path to Truly Sustainable Healthcare Data Centres and will take place December 7 from 15:45 till 16:15 on the Future Hospital Show Stage.

With surging energy costs in the UK, hospitals and other healthcare organizations are facing increases of up to 200-300% in their energy bills, costing them millions of pounds more each month. The NHS is endeavouring to find innovative ways to mitigate these energy costs and ensure patients continue to receive the care they need, while also avoiding staff and service reductions. The combination of liquid immersion cooling and heat reuse can help move these organizations in the right direction—by rapidly reducing energy needs, cutting cooling energy costs up to 90%, and providing a ready source of heat that can be used to defray other costs.

Participating in the panel will be Jon Clark, Commercial & Operations Director, Carbon-Z, one of the first carbon-neutral data centres serving Oxford, Swindon, Ed Thewlis, CTO, The Data Shed, a consultancy specialising in data transformation projects, single customer views, managed support services, and more, Matt Jeavons, Head of Transformation Consultancy at Proact, Europe’s leading specialist in data and information management, and Paul Edmondson, VP of Sales, EMEA for GRC. Moderating the panel will be Georgia Halston of the Halston Group/Sustainability Partnerships.

The information provided during this panel discussion will help healthcare leaders deal with the current energy crisis and future-proof their organizations by creating data centres that enable a focus on providing high-quality care while also managing the threat caused by rising power costs and the need to operate sustainably.

Additionally, at Booth F6 in the exhibition hall, GRC will demonstrate how liquid immersion cooling works, and how their single-phase solutions are a sustainable approach to reducing the cost and complexity of healthcare-related data centres.

“GIANT Health is a great opportunity for us to share the value of liquid immersion cooling for data centres in healthcare settings,” says GRC VP of Marketing Gregg Primm. “This panel brings together experts who can help us demonstrate the benefits of immersion cooling and give attendees a look at the technology that can change their business and create a sustainable healthcare technology infrastructure.”

GRC’s ICEraQ Series 10 Quad has been shortlisted in the Mission Critical Tech Innovation category for Data Centre Dynamics’s 2022 Data Centre Awards.

Mining Facilities Update

Following the Q3 2022 energization of Building 1 (50 MW) at the Lake Mariner facility in New York, TeraWulf continues to rapidly expand its self-mining capabilities. Construction activities on Building 2, also 50 MW, are substantially complete and the Company expects to achieve total capacity of 110 MW at the Lake Mariner facility in Q1 2023. Currently, the Company is operating approximately 11,000 proprietary miners and 6,500 hosted miners with plans to deploy an additional 7,000 proprietary miners in Q1 2023 at the Lake Mariner Facility. TeraWulf’s priority is to utilize the open capacity (10,000 – 12,000 slots) at Lake Mariner for self-mining but will continue to evaluate potential hosting arrangements that leverage the Company’s vertical integration and optimize capital efficiency.

The Nautilus Cryptomine facility, which has access to an initial 200 MW of mining capacity from Talen’s 2.3 GW Susquehanna Nuclear Station in Pennsylvania, with an option for an incremental 100 MW, is in the final stages of construction and is projected to begin mining at scale in Q1 2023. Pursuant to the Nautilus JV, TeraWulf owns and is expected to operate 50 MWs of mining capacity at a five-year contracted fixed rate of $0.02 per kilowatt hour, which is among the lowest power pricing in the sector. The Company has received or is awaiting delivery of approximately 15,000 miners (1.7 EH/s) to fill its 50-MW share of the Nautilus Cryptomine facility in Q1 2023. The miners for TeraWulf’s share of the Nautilus Cryptomine have been paid for and the Company does not expect any additional infrastructure related capital expenditures to be required.

TeraWulf continues to target achieving a total of approximately 6.6 EH/s of operational mining capacity across its two mining facilities in Q1 2023.

NY Crypto Moratorium Will Not Impact Lake Mariner Facility

On November 22, 2022, the Governor of the State of New York, Kathy Hochul, signed into law legislation that had been approved earlier this year by the State Assembly, which restricts the issuance of new air permits for proof-of-work mining operations sourcing energy from fossil fueled power plants.

This bill does not impact operations at TeraWulf’s Lake Mariner Facility in New York as the facility does not source energy directly from a fossil fuel power plant, but rather utilizes >91% sustainable, zero-carbon energy from the grid.

TeraWulf will continue to expand its sustainable mining footprint at the Lake Mariner facility and partner with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and other state entities to participate in programs that provide the State’s grid with a significant demand energy response capability.

Management Commentary

“We are pleased with the ramp in mining operations achieved at Lake Mariner in a brief period of time and despite the difficult market environment. Given our industry leading low cost of power at our two mining facilities, we believe we are going to be one of the few players that can sustainably operate in a prolonged low-price bitcoin environment,” stated Paul Prager, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of TeraWulf. “The recent regulatory actions in New York serve to reinforce our belief that a sustainable, zero-carbon power strategy is critical for long-term success in the bitcoin mining industry, particularly at a time when bitcoin mining and crypto in general have come under greater regulatory scrutiny.”

  • Data Demonstrates 99.9999% PFAS Elimination Through High-Temperature Thermal Destruction at RCRA-Permitted Incinerator
  • Study Involved 49 Targeted PFAS Analytes from Eight Primary Chemical Groups
  • Study Data and Conclusions Validated by Renowned Environmental Scientist

NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today announced the successful results of a comprehensive third-party study demonstrating that the Company’s commercial facilities can safely and thoroughly destroy PFAS (per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) in multiple forms. Conducted at the Company’s RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act)-permitted facility in Utah, the study demonstrated that Clean Harbors’ use of high-temperature combustion destroyed greater than 99.9999% of PFAS compounds. This performance level meets the strict chemical destruction standards for many of the most dangerous and difficult to destroy hazardous wastes, such as PCBs and dioxins.


“PFAS compounds, frequently referred to as forever chemicals, represent a clear threat to the environment and human health. Prior to this study, there had been no proven, scalable methodology to permanently destroy these chemicals safely and effectively,” said Eric Gerstenberg, Chief Operating Officer. “We engaged several outside engineering and environmental firms to design a program for us to conduct thorough testing of stack emissions and all residue streams at one of our RCRA-permitted commercial incinerators. We then provided the comprehensive test results to Philip H. Taylor, Ph.D., a nationally recognized environmental scientist who validated the conclusion that high-temperature destruction and removal efficiency of PFAS was achieved.”

Dr. Taylor, who previously led the University of Dayton Research Institute’s Environmental Engineering Group, has more than 30 years of experience dealing with the thermal destruction of hazardous materials. With a total of more than 250 publications and conference proceedings to his credit, Dr. Taylor also has served as an environmental consultant for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Air Force. Dr. Taylor conducted fundamental and applied research on hazardous waste destruction and was awarded the EPA STAR designation for development of the hazardous organic waste incinerability ranking.

PFAS compounds have been manufactured since the 1930s and became a primary ingredient in nonstick and waterproof coatings. After several decades, development and usage of PFAS greatly expanded with wide-ranging applications including nonstick cookware, stain-resistant carpeting, grease-resistant food packaging, corrosive-resistant pipes and wires, and eventually aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) that became the gold standard for fighting chemical fires for over 50 years. Before scientists and health organizations recognized the potential for adverse impacts on humans and animals, PFAS became ubiquitous around the planet. In fact, today in the United States it is estimated that 97-99% of the population carries some level of PFAS in their bloodstream.

Eventually, the detrimental health effects of certain categories of PFAS became clear and addressing PFAS contaminants in various media has become a major focus of regulatory authorities across the country. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not yet officially labeled PFAS in its many forms as hazardous, the Agency did work with major manufacturers between 2000-2006 to obtain commitments to phase out the production of two forms of PFAS – PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctyl sulfonate) – due to health concerns. As of 2015, the manufacture of PFOA and PFOS in the U.S. had largely ceased. In addition, several U.S. states have already begun regulating PFAS in different media, including drinking water, soil, groundwater, and in air emissions.

“One of the challenges with PFAS is that it involves compounds that, in some cases, have been used for more than 50 years,” said Gerstenberg. “Many of these chemicals continue to spread through the environment because they never degrade. There are huge stockpiles of these compounds, as well as contaminated soil and water at countless locations. These include current and former industrial facilities that produced or utilized PFAS; locations still holding AFFF firefighter foam; military bases, airports, or other industrial facilities that frequently used AFFF for years; or in drinking water where it has leached into groundwater from the soil. To date, there has been no consensus on the best method of addressing PFAS. Due to its harmful effects, including strong linkage to cancer rates and other medical conditions, there has been much emotion and even misinformation about PFAS and whether it can be safely destroyed at scale. At Clean Harbors, we have always believed that our RCRA-permitted thermal destruction units, which include state-of-the-art pollution and emission controls, would be the right answer and that data generated by this study would support our confidence in our technology.”

EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC was retained by Clean Harbors to develop a PFAS destruction testing program, to conduct that testing and to report the results, under the technical oversight of Focus Environmental, Inc. The testing was conducted during the summer of 2021, and the test data and final report were then evaluated and confirmed by Dr. Taylor. The tests included sampling and analysis for 49 target PFAS analytes in incinerator process waste feed streams, treatment chemical feed streams, solid and liquid process residue streams, and incinerator stack gases. The tests included the introduction of waste containing AFFF concentrate.

The results of the 2021 testing demonstrated that common legacy and replacement PFAS – including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS and Gen-X PFAS – are efficiently and effectively destroyed in Clean Harbors’ high-temperature thermal destruction units at levels exceeding 99.9999% of destruction. Achieving destruction of greater than 99.9999% is equivalent to demonstrating that for every million mass units of a compound introduced into the incinerator, less than one mass unit is detected at the stack. Under the testing conditions, not only were the PFAS compounds sufficiently destroyed, but ambient concentrations from stack emissions were orders of magnitude safer than any state or federal ambient air limit guideline in effect.

“We have been sharing the full results of our third-party study and the assessment of Dr. Taylor with the key regulatory authorities, many of whom are seeking dependable answers on how to best address PFAS going forward,” Gerstenberg concluded. “We believe that when these results are fully reviewed by the scientific community and regulators, they will draw the same conclusion as this third-party study: High-temperature thermal treatment is an ideal option for the safe elimination of the most dangerous members of the PFAS family.”
