FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Nears Portable Ammonia-generating Prototype Rollout Amid Growing Demand for Green Tech Solutions

 

• Canadian-based clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive Corp. is developing a means of producing and using ammonia as a non-carbon polluting fuel source
• FuelPositive regards the green ammonia produced by its unique system as a safer and more effective means of transporting hydrogen that can be used to provide power and other benefits in an environmentally positive manner
• The agricultural and shipping industries are preferred targets for conversion because of their heavy carbon fuel use, and some companies are already preparing to transition away from fossil fuels as viable alternatives become available
• The portability of FuelPositive’s solution also makes it an ideal means of providing energy to underserved, remote parts of the planet

As clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) nears launch of its initial proprietary modular system for producing green ammonia, the competition to advance green ammonia technology as a potential alternative to existing greenhouse gas-emitting fuel sources is heating up. 

A Yale School of the Environment report this month (https://ibn.fm/a2p1n) noted that experimental green ammonia-producing plants powered by large wind or solar farms have been operating in Britain and Japan since 2018, another is planned in the United States by 2023, an Australia plant is aiming to produce 3,500 tons of green ammonia annually by the end of this year, and a Saudi Arabia plant aims to generate 1.2 million tons of it by 2025. In addition, there is the ‘world’s largest green ammonia plant’ planned for South Africa, set to go live in 2025 (https://ibn.fm/oQPT8).

“This is a very dynamic field; there’s news out every day,” Melbourne, Australia’s Monash University chemist Douglas Macfarlane stated in the report. Macfarlane, like FuelPositive’s core team, has been working to develop new and much more efficient ways of making green ammonia. 

FuelPositive’s prototype systems will be fully portable when they roll out later this year with targeted capacity of producing up to 300 kilograms per day of liquid anhydrous green ammonia, which is the approximate amount needed to fertilize and power an 1,800-acre farm. But the output can be increased (or decreased) based on the end user requirements, according to the company, because of the system’s modular and scalable design (https://ibn.fm/CKVNA).

One end target is to store hydrogen as green ammonia for effective transportation and storage, with the option of easy conversion back to hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells and other pure hydrogen applications. (FuelPositive’s green ammonia stores 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed pure hydrogen, per unit of storage) Hydrogen is widely regarded as the optimal alternative fuel for weaning industries and consumers off polluting carbon-energy sources that continue to threaten global quality of life amid ongoing climate change. The combustion of 100% green ammonia is also the focus of many studies around the world. 

The agriculture industry uses about 80 percent of the ammonia produced each year applying carbon-intensive methods for nitrogen-rich fertilizer that improves plant nutrition and crop quality, and ultimately preserves soil fertility, when used properly. (https://ibn.fm/8VcqT). Switching to green ammonia could be transformative for the industry, driving down farming’s carbon footprint by as much as 90 percent for corn and small grain crops, according to the Yale school report. 

The transition could benefit other industries as well, the consumer product transport industry in particular. A report last year by the International Energy Agency predicted that ammonia will be vital for the shipping industry, which is currently responsible for 3 percent of global emissions (https://ibn.fm/odaVh).

Shipping carrier Hoegh Autoliners announced Jan. 20 that it has ordered up to 12 LNG-fueled pure car and truck Aurora-class ships that will be suitable to retrofit to ammonia or methanol propulsion in keeping with its plans to make them the first in the carrier segment to run on green ammonia (https://ibn.fm/54SnU), signaling the industry’s serious intention to explore more environmentally friendly activity. 

FuelPositive’s modular, scalable platform is also being touted as a solution for providing energy to remote communities thanks to the technology’s portability and efficiency. 

“Our (Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer) systems are small, they’re about the size of a shipping container that you would see on an ocean-going ship, and we can move them all over the place. So they can be used exactly where the ammonia is needed, so we don’t have to transport ammonia all over the place,” CEO Ian Clifford told a group of young investment advisers last fall (https://ibn.fm/PnbBO). “We think our company will grow a lot in value over the next six to 12 months as our systems are delivered to end users — the people who need the ammonia.”

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) IRB-Approved Study Could ‘Lead to New Frontiers,’ Begins Enrollment This Year

 

• Upcoming study supports CYBN’s mission to develop psychedelics into therapeutics.
• Kernel Flow uses pulsed light instead of continuous wave light to increase measured brain information. 
• Study may provide crucial “mind-imaging” information that has been previously missing.

Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) is starting off the new year right — the company has received approval from an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) for a feasibility study using Kernel’s quantitative neuroimaging technology, Kernel Flow. Enrollment for the study begins early this year (https://ibn.fm/XTXAe).

“By leveraging the Kernel Flow technology, we may have the ability to measure longitudinal brain activity before, during and after a psychedelic experience, and collect quantitative data as opposed to subjective patient reporting,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “We believe the results of this study will lead to future studies that will test the effectiveness of psychedelic treatments and will further support our mission to develop psychedelics into therapeutics.”

The feasibility study is designed to utilize Kernel’s Flow technology to evaluate ketamine’s psychedelic effect on cerebral cortex hemodynamics (https://ibn.fm/YeDwV). This study could provide crucial information that “may lead to new frontiers in psychedelic therapeutics by enabling the acquisition of longitudinal brain activity before, during and after a psychedelic experience, providing quantification of what was previously subjective patient reporting,” the company noted.

“The word psychedelic means ‘mind-manifesting,’ but what has been missing is useful ‘mind-imaging’—the ability to dynamically trace the neural correlates of human conscious experience,” explained Cybin’s chief clinical officer, Dr. Alex Belser. “Conventional neuroimaging just isn’t dynamic enough to study the psychedelic experience in the brain as it happens. This study of ketamine’s psychedelic effects while wearing headgear equipped with sensors to record brain activity could open up new frontiers of understanding.”

Kernel’s exclusive tech, called Kernel Flow, uses pulsed light instead of continuous wave light to increase measured brain information. The device used to measure the information is easily wearable, which is a significant difference from electroencephalography (“EEG”) electrodes that typically require gel on the head or functional magnetic resonance imaging (“fMRI”) studies that require a participant to lie in a scanner. The entire system is the size and look of a bicycle helmet and could, in the future, be more broadly used for neuroscientific or physiological studies of brain activity during psychedelic use, noted Cybin.

“Quantitatively measuring the brain within the context of a psychedelic experience is a promising frontier,” said Kernel founder and CEO Bryan Johnson. “With Kernel Flow, Cybin’s researchers can start putting numbers and quantification to subjective states of mind, including altered ones.”

As a sponsor of the study, Cybin retains an exclusive interest in any innovations that are discovered or developed through its independent analysis of the study findings. Kernel will hold the same rights relating to its Kernel technology.

“We hope this feasibility study can bridge the gap of real-time quantitative data collection during psychedelic treatments to further understand the correlation of effects from these powerful molecules,” said Drysdale. “The ability to access real-time brain activity data during a psychedelic experience has tremendous potential for the development of future psychedelic therapeutics.”

Cybin is a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company, working with a network of world-class partners and internationally recognized scientists, on a mission to create safe and effective therapeutics for patients to address a multitude of mental health issues. Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2019, Cybin is operational in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company is focused on progressing Psychedelics to Therapeutics(TM) by engineering proprietary drug-discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for mental health disorders.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) CEO Offers a Glimpse into Company’s Unique Technology and Operations on EDGE Podcast

 

• Chris Bunka, the Chairman and CEO of Lexaria, featured on the EDGE podcast hosted by Brandon C. White
• He provided insight into his background, professional philosophies, and Lexaria’s operations, with a focus on the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology
• Mr. Bunka also advised small companies and entrepreneurs, citing the importance of understanding the competitive environment

Chris Bunka, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), was recently featured on episode 234 of the EDGE Podcast. Hosted by Brandon C. White, an Angel Investor and Entrepreneur, Mr. Bunka shared insights into his professional journey while also sharing what the company is committed to achieving going forward. 

Mr. Bunka lauded the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology, citing how integral it is to improve the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients and other fat-soluble molecules.  So far, this technology has proven promising for the potential treatment of hypertension and heart disease, and is already being sublicensed for the delivery of CBD.

“Our technology is all about enabling a much higher fraction and a much smoother delivery of the beneficial substances in the foods you eat and in the drugs you take and, quite frankly, getting them into your bloodstream,” he noted (https://ibn.fm/kGRDm).

He also walked the audience through his career growth that spans over four decades, having started his first business at the age of 17. Over the years, he notes, he has learned how to run a business, rely on other people, and manage employees, skills that have translated to the success of Lexaria thus far.

When asked about his most significant career lessons, Mr. Bunka reckoned that while he has learned a lot, the central aspect is the significance of understanding the competitive environment. He further advised small companies and entrepreneurs first to understand their competitive environment and then understand the products and services they offer to customers.

“A lot of small companies don’t do a good job of understanding their competitive environment,” he noted. “A lot of them say, ‘I’m the best, I’m the fastest.’…I could be on my laptop and have somebody pitching me on an idea, and I see 3,700 companies just like his. It makes it really hard, so understanding your competitive environment is really, really important, as well as understanding your products and services,” he added.

The interview with Mr. Bunka offered a glimpse into the inner workings of Lexaria, the vision that he has for the company, and the goals that it is working towards. In addition, he talked about the company’s ongoing efforts to make the most out of its innovative delivery platform, along with professional philosophies that have guided his career so far.

Sugarmade Inc. (SGMD) Watching Growing Support for Federal Cannabis Reform

 

• NLR reports that bipartisan support for cannabis policies could reshape federal enforcement, set the stage for further state legalization
• GOP sponsorship of bills could mean greater likelihood of success
• SGMD’s strategic plan is centered on expanding end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace

As 2021 wound to a close, indications of bipartisan support for federal cannabis reform raised the hope that legislative progress may be made on the federal level in the coming year (https://ibn.fm/LMlBO). Companies operating in the cannabis space, including Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), are watching closely to see if that hope is realized.

“Long-anticipated federal cannabis reform may be on the horizon,” stated a December 2021 article in the National Law Review. “In the last month, bipartisan governors and groups from both bodies of Congress have established support for cannabis policies that would reshape federal enforcement and set the stage for further state legalization.”

The article specifically noted the States Reform Act, which was introduced by South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace in November; the act is the first Republican-backed cannabis decriminalization bill with support from four other Republican representatives. “The bill would amend several existing laws, but most significantly would remove cannabis from the list of Schedule 1 controlled substances, effectively ending federal cannabis prohibition,” NLR reported. 

“The bill defers to states to enact additional regulations but establishes some baseline federal policies,” the article continued. “The cannabis market would be overseen by various existing federal agencies: cannabis growers by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cannabis products by both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, and all medical use by the Food and Drug Administration. A 3% excise tax would also apply to all cannabis products, and the tax revenue would in part support law enforcement initiatives, veterans’ mental health programs, and U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) investment in cannabis businesses.

“While this broad federal decriminalization agenda is just getting off the ground in the House, its GOP-sponsorship may carry a greater likelihood of success at both the House and Senate level, where other, more progressive Democratic bills have failed,” the article concluded. 

Sugarmade is a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. The company’s core strategic plan is centered on expanding its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space. Through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Sugarmade intends to develop a full farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business.
