This document discusses natural gas as a long-term investment theme and provides an update after one year. It notes that the U.S. is ramping up natural gas exports and demand is growing rapidly for power generation, transportation, and industrial use. The commentary also outlines several positive developments for natural gas, such as utility companies converting power plants to natural gas and major companies investing in natural gas vehicles. While there are some headwinds like environmental concerns, the document expresses increasing confidence that natural gas can fuel investment performance over the coming nine years as the theme's potential is realized.
International collaboration on low-carbon energy innovation can take many forms, from broad goals to specific programs and projects. While competition is important, collaboration allows countries to pool resources and avoid duplication, accelerating innovation. There are already many bilateral and multilateral agreements underway, but more is still needed to achieve climate goals. Effective collaboration requires fully aligning incentives for all participants and finding gaps where additional coordination or enabling actions can have impact.
The document summarizes discussions from fund managers and experts at the Sustainable Investment Conference on sustainable investing trends and strategies. They discuss how they identify environmental and social themes to invest in, exclude certain sectors, engage with companies, and analyze portfolio carbon footprints. Key points included infrastructure spending due to climate change, the need for transparency on exclusions and impacts, and myths around sustainable investing forgoing returns when a systematic ESG analysis can identify opportunities.
Zinc8 Energy Solutions: Getting de-risked and raised by a global network of c...Stephan Bogner
When some of the world´s brightest people and biggest companies unite, there must be an urgency to solve a bigger problem. In order to build a smarter, more sustainable future for the planet, a far-reaching multidisciplinary effort is needed to speed up the rate of greentech innovation together – and to finance the economies of the future.
Right now, there is an innovation-based industrial revolution going on to re-shape our world for the better.
Unfortunately, it´s happening too slow. Innovations and new technologies take too long to enter the market and to then scale in a meaningful way. Capital, capabilities (know-how) and connections are the greatest limiting factors.
This document provides an investor presentation for NuState Energy Holdings, which markets products and software to reduce carbon emissions. It introduces the executive team and describes the flagship hydrogen fuel enhancement system product, which improves fuel efficiency up to 30% and reduces emissions. It outlines the company history, current market focus on trucking and power generation, projected sales growth, and financial projections showing revenues growing from $16 million in 2017 to over $54 million in 2019. The document concludes with details of a preferred stock offering between $10,000 and $1,000,000.
The document outlines a call to action for the US energy sector to adopt a "VALUE OVER VOLUME" strategy of cutting capital spending and investment to reduce global oil supply overhang, protect free cash flow, and restore investor confidence. It argues the status quo approach of continued production growth has led to poor financial returns, crashing stock prices, and investor apathy. Adopting a strategy focused on financial returns, debt reduction, dividends, and cash returns rather than supply growth could help balance the market and regain investor interest over the long run.
The document provides guidance on an engagement process called "Material Engagement" to advance sustainability issues. It recommends focusing engagements on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and issues identified as material by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). The 8-step process involves identifying SDG priorities, scanning SASB's materiality map, selecting laggard companies, defining the engagement scope, setting milestones and timelines, selecting an engagement approach, communication methods, and an escalation strategy if needed. Appendices provide more details on the initial steps of selecting SDG priorities, identifying laggards using ESG ratings, and defining the engagement scope. The goal is to make sustainability issues real
How are Impact Investors Tackling the New Opportunities in Climate InvestmentSG Analytics
Impact investors are incorporating frameworks to identify climate investment opportunities and invest in bonds of companies with sound environmental policies.
There is increasing pressure on energy producers from climate risks. One key concept which is gaining prominence in lieu of the risks is “Carbon Bubble” and the related impact of divestment movement. As a part of the Paris climate agreement, 192 countries reaffirmed their commitment to reduce emissions and limiting the global temperature increase to less than 20C. Energy producing companies are under scrutiny from investors, shareholders, employees and customers and other related stakeholders to reduce carbon footprint and to demonstrate that their business are aligned to help build an efficient “Low Carbon Portfolio”. The goal is to channelize investments, assess climate risks and opportunities and mitigate future climate change trajectories, align it as key service for fossil fuel energy divestment, portfolio and asset management.

Oil & Gas ICT Leader 2017 - Day 1 April 19th Ray Bugg
The industry is changing: against a challenging backdrop with a ‘lower for longer’ economic forecast, Oil & Gas companies are turning to technology to modernise and improve their operations. This transformation has seen IT repositioned as a core business technology, drawn from a background support function to a crucial centre of value creation and innovation. This tectonic shift places IT leaders in a vital position within their organisation, ensuring existing assets and emerging technology are effectively harnessed to deliver tangible business outcomes.
Cost reduction is still the primary mandate for most organisations, with ongoing efforts to strip back overheads and address key areas of inefficiency to cope with tightening budgetary restraints. But while the pursuit of ‘more for less’ has become a fundamental necessity, it is important that the strategy employs sufficient safeguards to avoid stifling long term progress. Organisations need to retain the personnel, the skills and the tools to ensure they still have the capacity to innovate.
One of the most prevalent trends of recent years has been a concerted move towards greater automation. Organisations are increasingly incorporating sensors, robotics and live data feeds to enhanced remote operations. But this digitisation of process is not just taking place in far flung fields; across the operation, digital technologies are being applied to enable improved visibility and insight. And data analytics is increasingly being used to evaluate asset performance, and enhance predictability, forecasting and decision making.
Whilst operators have made strides to address inefficiencies and create faster, more agile processes, there are still several barriers to progress. Organisations need to adapt their structure, break down internal silos and allow more cohesive and collaborative engagement. This collaboration also needs to extend to the wider supply chain and external partners across the industry. Skills and leadership is also a key barrier to progress, while cultural inertia still poses a problem for the industry and needs to be tackled head-on if digital transformation ambitions are to be achieved.
This conference will bring together IT leaders from across the world for knowledge exchange, thought leadership and collaboration. Now in its 4th year, the conference has established itself as the must-attend event for IT leaders working in Oil & Gas. The programme will explore the use of Information Technology in driving tangible business benefits, with topics spanning: data analytics, cloud, cyber security, automation, leadership and culture.

Opal Group Selects Gordon "Grant" Curtis as Energy Panelist Expert
1. Opal Group Selects Gordon "Grant" Curtis as Energy Panelist Expert
Family Wealth Office Managing Director for CI Investments, SFO of Switzerland, Mr.
Gordon “Grant” Curtis, has been invited to address Opal Group’s Energy Forum
Conference attendees June 10-11.
Ticino, Switzerland, June 10, 2013 -- Family Wealth Office Managing Director for CI
Investments ( http://www.CIInvestments.org ), SFO of Switzerland, Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis, has
been invited to address Opal Group’s Energy Forum Conference attendees June 10-11. The
focus of the conference highlights renewable versus fossil energy sources and what are the
possible investment strategies available poised for big returns.
Mr. Curtis has lead CI Investments ( http://www.CIInvestments.org ), Family Office of Switzerland
since 2004. The Office continues to outpace most all other peers relative to rates of returns and
creative strategies for achieving same. According to Mr. Curtis, “we look for specific and unique
opportunities that can provide lowered risk while yielding the types of returns that we seek. You
won’t find us allocating capital to a bond fund or traditional stock fund as these do not meet our
intended goals. The energy sector now provides a bridge between technological advancements
and high energy prices that when properly mixed can be very exciting.”
Impact Investing using socially responsible metrics have been a hallmark for CI
( http://www.CIInvestments.org ) and the Family desires. The goal is to deploy capital in a way
that it can respect the immediate and long terms needs as well as to take advantage of a market
in the energy sector that is presently highly stable in terms of demand and supply and costs.
Fortunately, the response by industry, lead by car manufacturers has really started to show some
traction relative to more environmentally responsible principles. New discoveries poised for leaps
in technological advances such as graphene, will certainly have significant effects over time, but
for the next 5-10 years, the path of least resistance will still be oil based.
At the heart of fossil fuel technology evaluation, you will find Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis
( http://www.CIInvestments.org ) sifting through the almost endless possibilities of mixing one with
another to reap a reward not yet discovered. “I like to innovate and work with innovators. None of
us have ego issues; we just want to strive for better and more efficient strategies to do the right
thing and make more returns for those that trust in us to do so.”
