We all know that companies can sell our data and how valuable data has become. Now a company is aiming to sell ’emissions reductions data in the form of carbon credit futures’.

dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA | OTCQX: DYFSF) recently announced a unique way to raise capital by selling up to CAD$10M of Carbon Credit Convertible Notes. The concept is quite simple. dynaCERT’s will issue a convertible note that is convertible into carbon credit ‘futures’ after 5 years, so is effectively raising capital from the future carbon credit proceeds to come from the carbon credits potentially earnt by dynaCERT’s emission reduction product, HydraGEN™.

dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™system and HydraLytica™ software creates hydrogen and oxygen on-demand through a unique patented electrolysis system and supplies these gases through the air intake of internal combustion engines to enhance combustion, resulting in lower carbon emissions and greater fuel efficiency. The main target market is heavily polluting diesel engines. HydraLytica™ is able to create the data to show the carbon reduction/credit. (see video 3 minute 50 second mark)

The dynaCERT announcement stated: “The offering is not convertible into the Company’s common shares and is non-dilutive to shareholders of the Company. Each Carbon Credit Convertible Note is priced at $1,000 (Canadian) with a maturity date of ten (10) years after the date of issue. Commencing at the fifth (5^th) anniversary after the date of issue, the Carbon Credit Convertible Notes will be convertible, at any time thereafter, at the option of the holder, into Carbon Credits generated by dynaCERT’s proprietary HydraGEN™ Technology. The Carbon Credit Convertible Notes are currently designed to be offered as a non-brokered private placement to institutional investors that wish to be the first to gain long term exposure to Carbon Credits…….”

The ‘methodology’ of the Carbon Credit Convertible Notes has been approved by VERRA; however full approval is still in the final stages as you can read here. VERRA certify and manage the world’s leading voluntary carbon markets program, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. VERRA state: “The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program is the world’s most widely used greenhouse gas (GHG) crediting program. It drives finance toward activities that reduce and remove emissions, improve livelihoods, and protect nature…….”

Jim Payne, President, CEO, and Director of dynaCERT, stated: “Carbon Credit Convertible Notes are an innovative structure offering premium Carbon Credit futures derived from measured and verified emission reductions from the data received from internal combustion engines.“

Note: Bold emphasis by the author.

Quite amazing that the ‘data showing emissions reductions’ nowadays potentially qualifies for carbon credits.

dynaCERT plan to use the raised funds towards “working capital of its currently available HydraGEN™ Technology business and fulfill timely delivery of sales of its products and to expedite current and new potential deliveries globally.”

dynaCERT is making inroads with sales into the mining industry

dynaCERT’s emission reduction HydraGEN™ product continues to gain traction in terms of sales into the mining industry. The mining industry is under significant ESG pressure to reduce emissions. As announced on November 15, 2022, dynaCERT’s distributor has reported sales and/or pilot trials with multiple leading global mining companies including Vale, Codelco, Nexa Resources, Arauco, Antamina, and a Mexican multinational food processing and distribution company Sigma Alimentos.

dynaCERT is also working on technology to develop Green Hydrogen (5:30 mark in the video), but we will leave that story for another day.

Closing remarks

Selling carbon credit futures by way of a convertible note is certainly an innovative way to raise capital. It potentially indicates a very strong demand by carbon emitting companies to be able to buy carbon credits (in this case carbon credit futures) to help offset their carbon emissions, otherwise face hefty fines.

InvestorIntel will circle back and keep investors updated on this one and see how dynaCERT goes with their offering.

Australia has a new environmental law of the land. It may not be perfect but it is consequential. Keep in mind that eight years ago, the previous Government repealed the nation’s environmental law which included a carbon pricing scheme.

Subsequent drastic climate events, including a punishing heat wave, huge fires which made international news and unprecedented strains on the power grid lent a sense of urgency to developing a new national environmental policy. Just as was the case in the United States, political change has turned a nation’s policy from climate denier to climate change combatant. Furthermore, and not coincidentally, the new law, officially called the Climate Change Bill 2022 but known as ‘Power Australia’, has been promulgated by Labor (loosely speaking, read Democrats in the US), with help from the Greens, and isn’t popular with Conservatives (read Republicans). But just as the Inflation Reduction Act miraculously passed both Houses in the US, so too did the Power Australia bill become law.

What does the Australian law do? Well, it aims to achieve a 43% reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030, and net-zero by 2050, partially by mandating that 82% of Australia’s electricity will be provided by a pantheon of renewables. It requires “climate benefits” to be measured annually but does not include stipulations for conducting such measurements. Nonetheless, the key objectives are broadly in line with other global commitments and the law puts Australia firmly back in the climate game.

According to press reports, “The law was broadly welcomed by business groups and the environmental movement.” Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen said “Legislating these targets gives certainty to investors and participants in the energy market and will help stabilize our energy system.”

No law is ever perfect, of course, and therefore this one has its critics. The main complaint about the law is that it doesn’t include a “carbon count” mechanism. What does this mean? It refers to two important aspects not codified in the law, the first of which, as mentioned above, would be a version of a carbon credit scheme encouraging companies to offset their carbon discharge. These are in place in the US and Canadian climate laws, and play an important role in encouraging the energy industry in particular to invest in renewables to avoid gradually increasing “carbon fines” on their operations.

Perhaps more importantly, the law doesn’t deal with the so-called social cost of carbon emissions. This refers to a cost-benefit analysis conducted on proposed projects in which, if a project is deemed to result in increased carbon emissions, the social cost of carbon multiplied by the expected emissions is added to the cost of the project, while conversely, if the project reduces carbon emissions, the calculated carbon savings are deducted from the project cost. Particularly in public-private projects, this savings makes the project more attractive and reinforces carbon reduction market decisions.

In both the US and Canada, federally-funded infrastructure projects are required to perform the social carbon cost calculation, while in the US, 14 States, including California and New York, also use this measure. At the State level in California, the law also requires all privately funded infrastructure projects – including proposed mining activities – to apply the social calculus. The Biden Administration has set the social figure at $76/ton, applicable to all federal projects. A new study conducted by researchers at the University of California Berkeley and the NGO Resources For The Future, published in ‘Nature” this month, sets that cost at $185/ton.

So what makes up the “social cost” of carbon? The short answer, according to Stanford University: the main components are what happens to the climate and how these changes affect economic outcomes, including changes in agricultural productivity, damage caused by sea level rise, and declines in human health and labor productivity.  Although already hard enough to quantify, many economists and social activists argue that this doesn’t go far enough but should also include social justice factors – for instance, the human damage done by building highways through the heart of cities and isolating or destroying entire communities. The $185/ton cited in the ‘Nature’ study attempts to include these factors, as well as (inter alia) risks to insurance companies resulting from sea level rise and persistent flooding.

So, back to Australia, where environmentalists hope that the social cost of carbon will be included in the implementing legislation setting the standards for measuring carbon reduction progress or lack thereof. Reportedly the national Infrastructure and Transportation plan already incorporates social cost considerations and could serve as a template for a national measurement standard.

In any event, this is a strong step for Australia in the fight to save the planet.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky spoke with Justin Cochrane about Carbon Streaming Corporation’s (NEO: NETZ | OTCQB: OFSTF) focus on acquiring its high-quality portfolio of carbon credit streams and investments. Expanding on their 2022 strategic objectives, Justin touches on Carbon Streaming’s $200 million near-term potential pipeline of opportunities over the next 12-months “out of a total pipeline of $700 million.”

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here to subscribe), Justin highlights plans to list Carbon Streaming on NASDAQ. Highlighting the growing interest in ESG directed investments, an increased focus on companies to reduce their carbon footprint, Justin explains how Carbon Streaming invests capital through carbon credit streaming arrangements with project developers and owners to accelerate the creation of carbon offset projects by bringing capital to projects that might not otherwise be developed.

The carbon credits market has been doing very well the past year. The world’s first and largest market for trading carbon credits is the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Under the EU ETS, regulated entities buy or receive emissions allowances, which they can trade with one another as needed. The EU ETS works on the ‘cap and trade’ principle as you can read here. The key is that emitters can purchase carbon credits and if they exceed their emissions caps they are fined heavily. Meanwhile, companies that reduce carbon emissions (renewable energy, forestry etc) can earn money by selling their carbon credits. The idea is that by placing a cost on carbon it helps motivate emitters to reduce emissions.

Reports have indicated that a carbon price in excess of US$100/t may be needed by 2030 in order to stay below the temperature goals contained in the Paris Agreement.

Today’s company aims to accelerate the world’s transition to a net-zero carbon future by bringing capital to projects that might not otherwise be developed. In return for the capital, the company receives their carbon credits.

Note: Carbon credit pricing varies globally and by market. In the voluntary market prices are closer to only an average of US$12/t CO₂e as of December 2021.

Carbon Streaming Corporation (NEO: NETZ | OTCQB: OFSTF) offers a way for investors to invest into the growth of the carbon credit market. It acts as an investment vehicle, purchasing carbon credit revenue streams in return for an upfront payment. If the value of the carbon credits goes up or can be sold later at a profit then the stream becomes more valuable, thereby potentially boosting the value of the carbon streaming acquirer. Revenues and profits will also depend on quality and return on investment of the streaming deals that are made.

Carbon Streaming currently has a portfolio of 3 to 4 global carbon credits projects which are:

• Rimba Raya (Borneo, Indonesia)
• MarVivo Blue Carbon (Baja California Sur, Mexico)
• Cerrado Biome (Cerrado, Brazil)
• Bonobo Peace Forest (DRC, Africa) – Subject to FS results.

Note: Carbon Streaming Corporation has only made an initial investment in the Bonobo Peace Forest, which will be directed to prepare Feasibility Studies and establish initial project activities. Hence why the chart says “3 to 4” projects.

Catalysts and strategy in 2022 for Carbon Streaming Corporation

In 2022 Carbon Streaming intend to achieve the following:

• Acquiring additional carbon credit stream and royalty investments to grow the portfolio. The Company has a pipeline of potential opportunities of $200 million near term (<12 months), out of a total pipeline of $700 million.
• Achieving revenue from the sale of carbon credits (see image below).
• Executing on a US listing on a major U.S. stock exchange, targeted within H1, 2022.

2022 estimated carbon credits to be received by Carbon Streaming Corporation from Rimba Raya and Cerrado Biome

Source: Carbon Streaming news release January 18, 2022

CEO Justin Cochrane stated in January 2022: “Moving into 2022, we anticipate the delivery of approximately 7.0 million carbon credits from our existing stream investments, announcing new carbon project investments around the globe and deepening relationships with our growing community of carbon project developers. We will continue to invest in building the best team in the carbon markets industry and progressing our plans for a proposed U.S. Listing.”

Note: Bold emphasis by the author. Also, the “attributable credits” to Carbon Streaming Corp. are quoted in the table above as 5 to 5.6 million.

Closing remarks

Carbon Streaming Corporation offers investors a growing portfolio (currently 3 to 4 projects) of carbon credit streams for ongoing revenue and potential long-term appreciation.

2022 should be a very good year for the Company as they achieve first revenues from about 5 to 5.6 million attributable carbon credits and pursue more project deals and a U.S listing on a major U.S exchange.

Carbon Streaming Corporation trades on a market cap of C$605M after a strong 2021 with their stock moving up from ~C$7.55 a year ago to now trade at C$13.00. Stay tuned in 2022.

Everyone has heard of cryptocurrency mining and data centers by now; but have you heard of a company that specializes in providing low cost infrastructure (power and water) and hosting services for these sectors. Specialized crypto mining and data centers use huge amounts of electricity so sourcing cheap, reliable, and ideally green electricity is paramount. Today’s company does just that.

Energy costs are a key factor for data centers and crypto mining operations due to the large amounts of electricity needed

Source: Link Global Technologies website

Link Global Technologies Inc. (CSE: LNK) (“LINK”) operates as a Bitcoin mining business as well as providing hosting and power purchase contracts to clients. LINK provides the infrastructure and operating expertise for digital mining and data hosting operations. The Company had its origins in crypto mining using low cost electricity so it has hands on experience.

LINK’s main businesses involve:

• LINK’s original Crypto mining business (1,400 Bitcoin mining machines).
• Securing power purchase agreements (PPAs) for customers in data centers or crypto mining. LINK arranges scalable, cost-effective access to clean energy. LINK provides power to over 5,000 mining machines within existing operational capacity.
• Supplying energy efficient containerized data centers.

LINK’s point of difference is energy efficiency. LINK is able to save data center or crypto mining clients money on their infrastructure costs (notably electricity and/or water bills) by providing expertise and personalized solutions for each client’s needs. LINK is able to tap into green energy sources as well as energy storage solutions.

LINK state: “Link’s staff has a combined 25 years of alternative and islanded power experience. We lead in the capture of unused energy and waste heat to generate power for the Blockchain……Link designs state of the art mobile facilities for environments spanning the globe. We have standalone solutions for every climate from the cold of Canada to the heat of Africa.”

About Link Global Technologies business and how they make revenue

Source: Link Global Technologies website

Revenue generation

LINK achieves its revenue primarily from its Bitcoin mining business and also from providing hosting (can be the complete infrastructure package) and power purchase contracts to clients.

One example of how LINK’s business model works is seen in the recently announced agreement to begin building the initial 10MW site with Mission World Group. LINK states: “Link will design, build and operate the infrastructure for the operation of the Miners and will also provide management services necessary to maintain 98% uptime on the Miners. In consideration of these services, Link will work with GSV to achieve competitive rates for power and receive a profit share of mined coins.”

LINK is able to fund such operations from capital such as the announced August 2021 deal to raise $18 million via an equity facility with Alumina Partners, LLC.

LINK acquires Clean Carbon Equity (“CCE”)

As announced on November 2, 2021, LINK completed the acquisition of Clean Carbon Equity (“CCE”). The acquisition allows LINK to take steps towards providing carbon offsets in the digital economy sector, immediately acquiring cash flow and creating new long-term revenue opportunities for the Company.

LINK CEO, Stephen Jenkins, commented: “This business model creates another revenue source apart from the digital currency mining by creating verifiable offsets that we can market and monetize.”

Closing remarks

Link Global Technologies is an innovative power and infrastructure solutions provider for crypto mining, and data center operations. These operations have huge electricity and water needs, so it makes sense to get the best supply deals. Increasingly this also involves sourcing green energy and energy storage backup systems, and now carbon credits.

LINK has experience being a Bitcoin miner and has gained the skills and IP to be able to assist others. LINK’s revenues are coming in from their Bitcoin mining business and their electricity supply contracts. Given the demand growth from crypto mining and data centers it stands to reason that LINK will capture an increasing number of these energy/infrastructure supply contracts.

Link Global Technologies trades on a market cap of ~C$10 million. One to follow in the exciting space of crypto and data center infrastructure providers. Stay tuned.

COP26 is now completed and the changes will impact the cleantech sector in the years ahead. Some came away disappointed at the lack of commitment from the 197 participating countries at COP26; however, there were many positive steps as outlined below.

The major outcomes from COP26

• The “Glasgow Climate Pact” was introduced. It aims to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. It calls for a more ambitious climate response on cutting emissions, climate management finance, and pledging to double adaptation finance, and funding for loss and damage already being caused by warming. Countries were asked to “revisit and strengthen” their climate pledges by the end of 2022.
• New transparency rules to ensure countries report sufficient information to determine whether or not they are meeting their pledges.
• The first ever COP decision to explicitly target action against fossil fuels, calling for a “phase-down” of unabated coal and “phase-out” of “inefficient” fossil-fuel subsidies.
• COP26 finalised rules for global carbon trading; however under the rules, the fossil fuel industry will be allowed to “offset” its carbon emissions and carry on polluting.
• Record-breaking pledges of US$365 million to the Adaptation Fund. This was a tripling of the amount raised last year, with first time contributions from the USA and Canada.

Note: The Adaption Fund is set up to help developing countries build resilience and ‘adapt’ to climate change.

The renewable energy sector will continue to be a beneficiary. In particular, solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. So too will nuclear energy benefit. The push for a global warming increase limited to 1.5 °C, and the focus for countries to revisit and strengthen their climate pledges by the end of 2022, should also be a positive catalyst going forward for renewables and nuclear energy.

Carbon capture and storage (“CC&S”) should also continue to benefit. The “phase-down” (not “phase-out”) of coal means CC&S can continue to play a role to reduce carbon emissions.

Zero-emission vehicles such as electric vehicles (“EVs”) indirectly got a boost with the COP26 decision to phase down “inefficient” fossil-fuel subsidies. If implemented fossil fuels would become relatively more expensive making EVs relatively more attractive.

Those companies working in the cleantech sector will benefit from the renewed COP26 push to reduce emissions.

Many InvestorIntel member companies set to benefit

When you look over the list of InvestorIntel member companies the standout feature is that many are involved, either directly or indirectly, in the cleantech and green related sectors. For example, Carbon Streaming Corporation (NEO: NETZ) invests into carbon credits, Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (TSXV: CMC | OTCQB: CWSFF) turns polluting waste into renewable fuel, dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA | OTCQX: DYFSF) reduces emissions from vehicles, H2O Innovation Inc. (TSXV: HEO | OTCQX: HEOFF) uses technologies to create clean water and treat wastewater, Ideanomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDEX) is investing in and supporting the EV industry, Nano One Materials Corp. (TSX: NANO) works to develop and commercialize better and cheaper cathodes for lithium ion batteries, and NEO Battery Materials Ltd. (TSXV: NBM) is developing silicon anodes for lithium ion batteries..

The mining companies that produce or are working to produce the raw materials that go into solar and wind energy, as well as electric vehicles, batteries, and other energy storage products, stand to benefit. This includes the rare earths (Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF), Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF), USA Rare Earth, LLC, Vital Metals Limited (ASX: VML); lithium (Avalon Advanced Materials Inc. (TSX: AVL | OTCQB: AVLNF), Critical Elements Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CRE), Neo Lithium Corp. (TSXV: NLC); cobalt (CBLT Inc. (TSXV: CBLT), Global Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV: GEMC); graphite; nickel (Nickel 28 Capital Corp. (TSXV: NKL); manganese; copper (Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK), Murchison Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: MUR); vanadium and scandium (Imperial Mining Group Ltd. (TSXV: IPG), Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX: SCY). Another is the rare earths’ magnet materials maker Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO).

Finally, a phase-down of coal is a positive for the smart nuclear sector and hence the uranium miners and explorers such as Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU | TSX: EFR), Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE American: URG | TSX: URE), Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (CSE: WUC | OTCQX: WSTRF), Fission 3.0 Corp. (TSXV: FUU | OTCQB: FISOF), Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF), and Azincourt Energy Corp. (TSXV: AAZ).

Closing remarks

COP26 was perhaps more successful than what some are reporting. The phase-down of coal is a good achievement, with India joining this for the first time. The new transparency rules are underappreciated, given currently that there are no penalties for not following the climate change targets (only naming and shaming). New rules for global carbon credits trading are also a positive step forward. Also, the tripling of pledges to the Adaptation Fund to help developing companies is welcome.

Investors could look through the list of InvestorIntel members and select the companies that they think best align with the COP26 changes and the massive trend towards reducing emissions and producing green energy and technology this decade.

See you next time for COP27 in November 2022, this time in Egypt.
