SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES), the inventor of the only EPA-registered contraceptive for male and female rats, recognizes the risks associated with growing rodent populations in cities and areas with a substantial human population. "With its fertility control products, SenesTech offers a proven way for entire cities and urban areas to reduce rat populations by over 90%. Available in a variety of delivery systems, SenesTech's products allow for easy and efficient product deployment, an approach that is achieving significant acceptance in the market. SenesTech's approach is much needed throughout the industrialized and agricultural world, particularly factoring in how rodents can directly transmit a range of pathogens and diseases… SenesTech has been advocating non-lethal rodent birth control products added to or separate from existing integrated pest management plans. Their products can be used separately, or in conjunction with additional rodent control methods," a recent article reads. "The most [effective approach] is combining the elements of integrated pest management and having them work together and support each other," Joel Fruendt, SenesTech's CEO, was quoted as saying.

SenesTech Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES) is the rodent fertility control expert and the inventor of the only EPA-registered contraceptive for male and female rats. The company’s technology provides an innovative and humane method for managing rat populations.

SenesTech is focused on developing effective solutions that are grounded in science and proven through research, all while providing value to people, communities and the environment. The company’s passion is to create a healthier world by better controlling rat pest populations. This aim is critical, as, if left unchecked, a breeding pair of rats and their descendants can produce up to 15,000 pups after just one year.

The company strives for clean cities, efficient businesses and happy households – with a product that was scientifically designed to be effective without killing rats. SenesTech is committed to the sustainable, humane treatment of animals, improving the quality of all human life and enhancing environmental stewardship through the global application of its effective solution in fertility control technology.

SenesTech is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

ContraPest®

SenesTech’s first product, ContraPest®, applies revolutionary technology to a global challenge that has persisted since the Middle Ages – the proliferation of rats in urban and agricultural settings. ContraPest® targets the reproductive capabilities of Norway and roof rats. As a highly palatable liquid, the formulation promotes sustained consumption, helping to reduce fertility in both male and female rats, bringing populations down and keeping them down.

The company’s flagship offering can be used as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programs – fitting seamlessly into all IPM programs – to help reduce reproduction and magnify the success of these protocols, or as a standalone solution for customers who want to reduce or eliminate the use of lethal rodent control methods.

In multiple, independent field deployments, ContraPest was shown to reduce rat activity over 90% when added to an existing IPM program.

ContraPest® is registered federally as a General Use Product.

Delivery Systems and New Products

In July 2023, SenesTech began to distribute a new delivery system for ContraPest®, the Isolate Bait System™. This new delivery system brings to market a simple design that enables more efficient deployment, incorporates an enhanced formulation of ContraPest® that is expected to provide improved performance of the fertility control bait in the field and is paired with a new bait station that is more space-efficient and economical.

The other delivery systems available for ContraPest include the Ultimate Bait System™, a tank and tray in a larger format for use with more severe infestations, and the Elevate Bait System™, a unique delivery system that targets above ground infestations, as with roof rats.

SenesTech, as of August 2023, is also in the final stages of releasing a soft bait formulation, which provides the unique attributes of proven fertility control in an industry-familiar format demanded by big box retailers, key e-commerce channels and leading industry pest management professionals.

Market Opportunity

According to SenesTech’s figures, rats cause over $27 billion in damage to public and private infrastructure annually in the United States. Rats also destroy 20% of the global stored food supply every year by consuming or contaminating it.

Rats are known to spread at least 35 diseases, globally posing a dangerous risk to public health and safety. Not only does this age-old problem persist despite extensive campaigns to eradicate it, but multiple sources have reported that post-COVID rat populations have boomed.

Poison-based control methods sicken rats, and they typically die slowly. An animal that eats a poisoned rat may also sicken or die. The global rodenticide market is projected to be worth $1.7 billion by 2026.

In one case study, results reported by the customer showed a $5,000 investment in ContraPest® saved more than $500,000 annually in reduced labor, loss and damage.

Coyuchi Inc.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Coyuchi Inc.

The attorney general of Oklahoma revealed that he is firing the outside team of lawyers that had been contracted to defend the state's position regarding a law that seeks to bar pension systems from doing business with companies that restrict their investments in oil and gas ventures. The AG's announcement came a few days after a judge issued a temporary injunction blocking Oklahoma from implementing that law. In a recent statement, Republican AG Gentner Drummond revealed that he was firing the legal team from Plaxico Law Firm. He added that team members had been handpicked by Todd Russ, treasurer of the state. The attorney general added that he would also strip Russ of any power to make decisions regarding the ESG law's defense with immediate effect. The Oklahoma law, passed in 2022, is only one of dozens of anti-ESG bills in different states passed with the backing of Republicans. These laws are intended to fight back against Wall Street companies looking to undermine funding to fossil fuel entities "purportedly" to combat climate change. Despite efforts to curtail climate change by limiting funding to fossil fuel businesses, many leading financial institutions have continued to support enterprises in the oil and gas industry, and some financial entities have even backtracked on their involvement with ESG-driven efforts. Detractors aside, ESG seems to be enjoying growing support among enterprises such as Coyuchi Inc. that are integrating it to make their operations favorable to the environment and communities while leaning on sound governance structures.

Coyuchi is the gold standard in sustainable luxury home goods. The company offers sustainably produced luxury organic bedding, sheets, towels, apparel, and other home goods for the environmentally conscious home. With a timeless, coastal-inspired aesthetic, Coyuchi uses only 100% organic cotton materials to manufacture all of its textiles.

The Company was built upon four foundational pillars: protect the planet, innovate circular design, live sustainably, and enrich the community. These guiding principles have proven an effective market strategy. In 2021, Coyuchi earned $33.3 million in net sales, amounting to 26% YoY growth (the industry average is only 5%). It also experienced 2x customer growth to 200,000 active customers, averaging a 35% customer repeat purchase rate.

With a seasoned leadership team, a robust e-commerce shopping experience, and a healthy customer base that drives the fast-growing organic luxury market, Coyuchi is prepared to propel a new phase of growth as the rest of the world finally awakens to sustainability at scale.

A Lucrative Market Ripe for the Taking

The global market for organic bedding, which was estimated at $814.3 million in 2020, is projected to reach $1.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% over that period, according to Research and Markets. More specifically, the domestic organic bedding market is estimated at $240.1 million in 2020, according to Statista. Overall, the U.S. market for home textiles is currently valued at $25 billion annually, and, with a forecast annual growth rate of 5%, it is expected to reach $30 billion by the end of 2025.

Grand View Research reported in 2020 that shifting consumer preference toward high-end lifestyle products is a key factor driving the growth of the organic bedding market. Seventy-four percent of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products – a consumer preference that has steadily increased over the last few decades. Millennials especially favor ethical consumption over price when purchasing goods and services, with 83% of millennials reporting that they want the brands they purchase from to align with their beliefs and values (https://ibn.fm/PANNV). With a majority millennial customer base, Coyuchi is poised to capitalize on this trend.

Industry Defining Sustainability Practices

For 30 years, Coyuchi has explored organic farming and sustainable textiles and guarantees the highest environmental and ethical standards through a number of certifications such as The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Fair Trade Certified, and MADE SAFE®.

Coyuchi continues to push the organic textile market forward through its circularity initiatives and by supporting cross-industry sustainability advocates. Coyuchi’s mission to bring beauty and comfort to every home without sacrificing the health of our planet has resulted in a number of important sustainability checks and balances.

• A Circular Business Model: Coyuchi has cultivated a holistic 360-degree approach that contributes to the fight against climate change with its take back and recycling program, 2nd Home™. In 2017, it became the first luxury home brand to implement such an initiative, and, since then, the company has eliminated 68,758 lbs. of toxic chemicals from homes and renewed 6,000 lbs. of textiles.
• The Coyuchi Climate Council: In early 2022, Coyuchi introduced a cross-disciplinary council with a goal of Net Zero Emissions by 2025 and Net Positive Emissions by 2030. The Coyuchi Climate Council brings together influential minds across fashion, regenerative farming, and sustainability who have the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve climate change.
• C4: The California Cotton & Climate Coalition: Most recently, Coyuchi announced it is a founding member of C4, which includes innovative, sustainable fashion, apparel, and personal care brands like MATE the Label, Outerknown, Reformation, and Trace. Working together pre-competitively, C4 creates a structure for investing in regionally grown, Climate Beneficial™ cotton and directly supports the livelihoods of the farmers that grew it. Coyuchi is the only home industry brand currently involved in the project.

Omnichannel Business Model

Coyuchi differentiates itself through an omnichannel and circular business model, both of which have proven a clear draw for customers. It was an early adopter of an e-commerce sales and marketing approach (over 80% of its sales are directly through coyuchi.com), creating a distinct advantage over incumbents and start-up newcomers in the luxury space. This has resulted in a high lifetime value customer, luxury retail partners such as Nordstrom, and a flagship store in Marin County.

Coyuchi’s Organic Textile Products

Coyuchi’s product assortment consists of consciously designed bedding, bath, apparel, and lifestyle products spread across about 1,400 SKUs. The company believes that its product assortment, produced from 100% organic cotton with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, provides it with a significant competitive advantage. GOTS is the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, ensuring the organic status of textiles after harvesting raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing all the way to labeling, a major environmental and social benefit over conventional cotton product production.

Coyuchi’s focused product assortment consists of four core categories:

• Bedding – A full suite of sustainable, organic, and high-quality sheets, duvet covers, blankets, and throws.
• Bath – A luxurious line of towels, bath rugs, and mats.
• Apparel – Premium apparel for men and women, including robes, sweaters, pants, and pajamas.
• Lifestyle – The lifestyle category offers 135 SKUs, from organic napkins to crossbody totes.

NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL) (NASDAQ: NXPLW)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL) (NASDAQ: NXPLW).

Small- to medium-sized e-commerce companies sometimes face challenges with fulfilling orders, especially when one considers the costs incurred when managing warehouses and fulfilment centers. To make it easier, most of these companies outsource the tasks. It is expected, however, that robots may soon take up these tasks as warehouse automation is adopted more by smaller companies. A recent report by Gartner forecasts that the warehouse automation industry will generate more that $21 billion in revenue globally this year. This is expected to hit $71 billion by 2032. It is expected that the growing trend toward e-commerce that small- and medium-sized companies in the warehouse automation industry are exhibiting will afford growing brands more fulfilment options. Whether small-scale robotics and warehouse automation systems save money for e-commerce companies and provide them with competitive advantage over other companies remains to be seen though. Robotics isn't the only aspect that is growing within the ecommerce field. Companies such as NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL) (NASDAQ: NXPLW) are bringing next-generation approaches to specialized segments like healthcare ecommerce to ensure that sellers and consumers receive exactly what they want with minimal hassle.

NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL) (NASDAQ: NXPLW), a next generation e-commerce platform, was created with vision and purpose to capitalize on high growth sectors and global markets. The company collaborates with businesses – large and small – to simplify and accelerate online commerce and uniquely enables customers and partners to optimize their e-commerce reach, presence and revenue. NextPlat recently launched a new e-commerce development program to provide American businesses with easy access to the massive Chinese consumer market.

Current Initiatives

NextPlat provides cutting edge technology in an advanced e-commerce ecosystem. The company is actively expanding its global network of online storefronts serving thousands of consumers, enterprises and governments. The company also has developed a next generation platform built for Web3 that enables the creation and sale of digital assets, as well as optimizing e-commerce transactions and business building activities. The company’s current initiatives include:

• E-Commerce Development Program – In April 2023, NextPlat announced it had entered into a merchant sourcing agreement with Alibaba.com Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited (“Alibaba”) and its Tmall Global e-commerce platform whereby the two companies will collaborate to increase the sale of products produced and sold by American companies to the multi-trillion-dollar Chinese consumer market. Alibaba’s Tmall Global e-commerce platform will provide NextPlat customers a turn-key solution through which products can be sold to the Chinese consumer market. The launch of the Florida E-Commerce Development Program is the first in a series of new NextPlat programs designed to assist U.S. businesses in expanding their online sales capabilities to reach new international customers in the Chinese market. NextPlat intends to rapidly expand this unique e-commerce development opportunity to businesses throughout the United States and all of North America, as well as Central and South America. The new development program features NextPlat’s turnkey global e-commerce solution for customers and leverages NextPlat’s relationships with key partners, including Tmall Global, China’s largest cross-border B2C online marketplace.
• Progressive Care Inc. – In August 2022, NextPlat completed a strategic $7 million investment in Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD), a personalized health care services and technology company. In a news release announcing the investment, NextPlat CEO Charles M. Fernandez noted that the company is “committed to harnessing the power of digital technologies to capitalize on the ongoing digital transformation of Progressive Care and the entire health care industry.” NextPlat intends to accelerate Progressive Care’s digital health care transformation with the launch of a new e-commerce platform for health care products later this year.
• NextPlat NFT Platform – Building on its existing e-commerce initiatives, NextPlat is working to bridge the gap between tangible and digital e-commerce marketplaces by incorporating burgeoning Web3 technologies. The company intends to launch a fully integrated NFT platform in the coming months that will enable brands to create, manage and authenticate digital assets while serving as a new source of revenue for NextPlat. Through this model, the company will receive a portion of the revenue generated from branded NFT drops, as well as subsequent secondary market transactions.
• Global Telesat Communications and Orbital SatCom Corp. – Targeting both domestic and international markets, NextPlat’s subsidiaries leverage partnerships with major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba, eBay and Walmart to serve a growing base that includes more than 50,000 corporate, governmental and individual customers. In total, the brands market more than 10,000 individual products, with a focus on satellite-based connectivity solutions. In addition to exploring accretive M&A opportunities, NextPlat aims to diversify its range of products and broaden its geographic footprint moving forward in an effort to better capitalize on the tremendous growth potential in the United States, Europe and Asia.

“Our goal for 2023 and beyond is to leverage our improved operational capabilities and enhanced leadership team as we expand our offerings in communications and connectivity into the high-growth health care market where we intend to launch an array of innovative new offerings,” Fernandez said in a March 2023 news release detailing the company’s record top-line performance. “Although there remain supply chain headwinds and the challenge of global inflation, we are confident that we have the right combination of market-tested expertise, technology and partnerships that will enable us to bring the power of e-commerce to more customers, brands and industries in the United States and abroad.”

Market Opportunity

The rapid growth of e-commerce over the last decade is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. According to data published by Forbes, roughly 20.8% of all retail purchases are expected to take place online in 2023, accounting for total sales of $6.31 trillion worldwide. It total, e-commerce sales are expected to grow by 10.4% YoY in 2023, accounting for a whopping 24% of all retail purchases by 2026.

For NextPlat, existing partnerships in the industry could be key to capitalizing on this growth. The Forbes report indicates that Amazon accounts for roughly 38.7% of e-commerce sales, while sites like Walmart, eBay and Alibaba round out the list of most visited e-commerce websites. Alibaba is especially interesting due to NextPlat’s recent strategic merchant sourcing agreement with Tmall Global. The Chinese market is “mammoth,” as a recent Alizila report noted. The country’s annual online retail sales of physical goods have nearly doubled in the last five years, reaching approximately 13.8 trillion yuan in 2022, which is nearly $2 trillion USD.

The health care portion of the e-commerce market is generating particularly bullish forecasts, bolstered by the continued adoption of the 340B Drug Pricing Program in the U.S., which requires most drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to covered entities at significantly reduced prices. Industry reports suggest that the global health care e-commerce market will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 16.8% from 2022 to 2030, climbing to a value of more than $1.37 trillion by the end of the forecast period.

Correlate’s team of multi-decade experts who have worked with renowned global brands are positioning the company to make the most of this opportunity while consolidating a fragmented industry. Collectively, the team has developed, financed and deployed over $2 billion in clean energy projects to date.

Three-Pronged Strategy

Correlate is leveraging a three-pronged strategy aimed at driving shareholder value:

1. Sell – Correlate seeks to finance, develop and profitably sell localized clean energy solutions and microgrids to industrial, commercial and residential customers.
2. Retain – Correlate plans to retain ownership of some of these energy systems and thereby realize ongoing, reliable cash flow.
3. Acquire – Correlate seeks to acquire proven renewable energy companies in order to exponentially grow earnings per share for investors.

This strategy is enhanced by current investment trends. Clean energy earnings are being sought after by investors. In Q4 2022, the median EBITDA multiple for green energy companies was 12.3x, according to Finerva.

Market Outlook

Over the next decade and beyond, renewable energy growth is expected to come primarily via decentralized systems like those offered by Correlate.
The Inflation Reduction Act enacted in late August 2022 is likewise expected to drive growth for the company by providing new tax incentives that reduce costs for clients and/or elevate returns to investors.

Commercial buildings consume more than 35% of the generated electricity in the U.S. and are underperforming in energy efficiency at every level. These buildings waste energy, emit too much carbon and are too costly for owners and occupants, but retrofits are not happening at the rate or scale needed.

In today’s real estate market, portfolio property owners own most commercial buildings, yet most building efficiency work is focused on single buildings, thereby missing the distinct needs of this owner class which are very different from traditional owner-occupiers. The diverse nature of commercial buildings, combined with technology and performance uncertainty, make simple energy optimization initiatives – which could greatly reduce energy use and improve building value – financially unattractive, resulting in slow adoption rates. CIPI’s financial instruments and software breakdown this issue, known as the ‘split incentive’, unlocking the majority of the addressable market.

A key portion of Correlate’s strategy relates to consolidation of what has been a fragmented industry. By uncovering opportunities to improve efficiencies through strategic M&A activities, the company intends to enhance profitability throughout its operations.

Bravo Multinational Inc. (OTC: BRVO) actively explores opportunities in the entertainment, hospitality and technology sectors to generate long-term value for its shareholders through high-growth business ventures. Currently focused on pioneering innovative solutions in the digital content landscape, the company’s goal is to provide cutting-edge and diverse content experiences to a global audience.

In February 2024, Bravo finalized a deal to acquire Streaming TVEE Inc.’s assets, marking a pivotal step in establishing its flagship offering, aptly named TVee NOW™. The acquired assets provide the company with the technology and foundation to soon offer streaming services including Video-On-Demand (VOD) and linear TV, often referred to as traditional broadcast TV, which encompasses cable and satellite networks, through a joint venture with Pythia Experiences.

TVee NOW™ plans to offer a wide range of on-demand content, including movies, series, concerts and original programming, at minimal or no cost to viewers. The service, set for beta launch in Q1 2024, will be accessible across various devices, with dedicated apps available on platforms such as Roku, Apple and Google Play stores, reinforcing Bravo’s commitment to innovation and audience accessibility.

The company is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with a second office soon opening in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Products

TVee NOW’s streaming service will offer a portion of its content for free, catering to the growing demographic of cord-cutters and aligning with the dynamic landscape of advertising-based video on demand (AVOD) streaming. Bravo’s Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming platform is specifically crafted to deliver content directly to viewers via the internet, accessible through a browser or freely downloadable apps on smartphones, tablets and smart TVs.

Bravo’s planned strategic approach for content is to first integrate partnered Free Ad-Supported TV (FAST) channels, programmatic advertising and a tiered revenue sharing model. Additionally, the company plans to complete the deal with Pythia Experiences, enabling a hybrid model comprised of AVOD, utilizing programmatic advertising through ad servers, and Subscription-based Video-on-Demand (SVOD), which the company plans to offer at competitive rates compared to other services. With this model completed, Bravo can bridge the gap until the company can ultimately create its own original content.

Through the asset purchase agreement with Streaming TVEE, Inc., the company obtained exclusive rights, image and likeness, label waivers and exploitation rights for streaming of 117 high-definition music and comedy performances, each offering a director’s cut and multiple camera perspectives. Some of the music artists include Snoop Dogg, H.E.R., Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, along with comedic performances from Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, Kristen Schaal, Rob Delaney and others. This original footage will allow Bravo to recreate shows in diverse formats, which can showcase these concert films in a compelling full-feature format.

Market Opportunity

A report from Fortune Business Insights, a global market research and reporting firm, estimated the global video streaming market at $455.45 billion in 2022. It is projected to grow from $554.33 billion in 2023 to $1.9 trillion by 2030, achieving a CAGR of 19.3% during the forecast period.

Growth drivers, according to the report, include a rising number of users of Video-on-Demand services (YouTube, for example) worldwide and the growing adoption of OTT content providers (like Netflix and Hulu, among many others) by consumers, as well as consumers’ willingness to spend more for streaming video content.

Bebuzee Inc. (OTC: BBUZ), formerly Engage Mobility Inc., is a social platform and streaming service focused on development and deployment of America’s first superapp. The superapp will allow members to watch a wide variety of content, such as movies, series, documentaries and talk shows, on any internet-connected device.

Bebuzee’s technology scans the world’s news, features and information-flow to give its dedicated readers the best of the internet in one place – a one-stop platform for breaking news, interesting and important blogs, videos and photos.

The core features of the superapp include video streaming; photo sharing; Bebuzee Messaging service, which allows users to send text and voice messages and make voice and video calls; Shortbuz, used to make a variety of short-form entertaining videos; Blogbuz, a resource for people without time to scavenge the internet and other sources for news and information; Properbuz global real estate search; global tradesmen search; location reviews of neighborhoods, cities and even regions to help others find their ideal rental or real estate purchase; ShoppingBuz, a unique technology-driven e-commerce platform which gives merchants incredible tools to sell their products; Bebuzee Pay, a mobile payment and digital wallet service that allows users to make mobile payments and online transactions; TravelBuz, an online travel booking service; EventBuz, a ticket exchange and resale platform; and FlightBuz, a flight search engine.

The company is headquartered in Miami.

Introducing the Superapp to Western Markets

A superapp is a mobile phone app that offers a wide range of services within a single platform. This technology allows users to access various services without downloading and switching between multiple apps.

While superapps are popular in many parts of the world, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Russia, they have achieved little adoption in Western markets. Perhaps the most widely known superapp is WeChat, which is estimated to have as many as 1.24 billion users, mostly in China.

Bebuzee aims to be the first developer to introduce and grow to widespread popularity a superapp in the U.S. and Europe. It took a strong step toward achieving this goal during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Bebuzee’s user base surged by 78% with over 42 million new users.

Whereas most social platforms are generic and only local postings make them somewhat relevant to local communities, Bebuzee has localized its platform for most countries by providing local content, entertainment and information that is frequently updated and refreshed.

The company says the average age of its superapp users is 39, with female users making up 62.8% of its user base. Its monetization strategy includes sales of video advertising, sponsored posts, banner ads and premium listings, as well as promotion of featured brands and property listings.

Market Opportunity

A report from Allied Market Research, a global market research, consulting and advisory firm, estimated that the worldwide superapps market was valued at $58.6 billion in 2022. The report projects the market to expand to $722.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 28.9% for the forecast period.

The report identifies a few of the most popular superapps as Rappi in Latin America, Snapp in Iran, Line in Japan and Yandex Go in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Increasing adoption of mobile services and growing advancements in digital technologies are driving the growth of this market. In addition, a rise in government support for promoting the use of superapps is lending to expansion, according to the report.

Integration of blockchain technology in superapps is likewise anticipated to provide numerous opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period, the report states.

Management Team

Joseph Onyero is Founder and CEO of Bebuzee. He has a background of managing multiple products from ideation to market launch and profitable monetization and has been building commercial web presences since 2005. He has worked as a Chief Marketing Officer and in business development. He previously owned and operated a travel and tourism company. He began in 2005 working on the concept and features that have evolved into the Bebuzee suite. He has grown Bebuzee from a living room start-up into a U.S. publicly traded company.

Claudia S. Spagnuolo is Chief Operating Officer at Bebuzee. She began with the company in 2014 as a user experience manager before being promoted to CMO in 2017.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTC: NHHHF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight FuelPositive Corp. (NHHHF).

Comments from U.S. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell during a recent news conference could have an impact on green-energy investment this year. Shortly after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting held in early May, 2024, Powell said that the Federal Reserve was unlikely to raise benchmark interest rates this year but noted that policymakers weren't in a rush to lower interest rates from 5.25%–5.5% either. When asked when the Fed might finally cut benchmark interest rates, Powell said he had no idea how long it would take. As it stands, the nascent renewables market's growth is significantly dependent on interest rates. Green projects tend to have high initial costs, but their low running costs make them sound investments in the long-term. As such, green-energy developers typically acquire debt to launch their projects and take advantage of their limited operation costs to pay back the loans.Despite the headwinds facing the global green-energy industry, it has experienced admirable growth in many places even as rising interest rates have made it more expensive for project developers to borrow capital. Some European nations have prioritized green-energy targets regardless of the extra costs involved and are pushing to achieve them in pursuit of carbon neutrality, and the U.S. plans to build out a resilient domestic green-energy supply chain. It remains to be seen how the strategic plans of entities such as FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V:NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) have been impacted by the current inflationary environment characterized by high interest rates.

FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a leading green ammonia company, is reporting an update on several notable actions, including the closing of the first tranche of a private placement, Manitoba on-farm installations, the appointment of Michael Heslin as the company's new director of sales, and significant progress in government and stakeholder relations activities at both federal and provincial levels focused on building state-of-the-art mass-production manufacturing facilities in Manitoba. "We are thrilled to announce the participation of several new strategic investors, smart Canadian agriculture leaders, and Manitoba-based precision agriculture farmers," said FuelPositive cofounder and CEO Ian Clifford in the press release. "Tech-savvy and environmentally conscious, these farmers understand how FuelPositive on-farm precision agriculture solutions can not only help them address environmental imperatives like climate change, but it can also help them meet Canada's GHG emissions targets. Most importantly, it protects them from fertilizer and fuel cost and supply uncertainties. Farmers love how FuelPositive technology offers them stability and predictability allowing for a more sustainable business model. We are thrilled that farmers are excited about our technology and the control it gives them. Specifically, Manitoba farmers took time out of their busy schedules to participate in this private placement. Thanks to these new farmer shareholders, today we conclude the first tranche of our active private placement. It's significant that farmers directly support FuelPositive agricultural technologies as it underscores the potential value for Manitoba farmers and farmers globally."

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTC: NHHHF) is a growth stage company focused on licensing, partnership and acquisition opportunities building upon various technological achievements. The company is committed to providing commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions, including carbon-free ammonia (NH3), for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications.

FuelPositive is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

Hydrogen Economy Problems and FuelPositive’s Carbon-Free Technology

The hydrogen economy is currently facing many challenges. Traditional NH3 manufacturing exists on a massive scale, but centralized facilities result in some of the world’s most concentrated CO2 emissions. In total, an estimated 200 million metric tonnes of NH3 are consumed each year, with greater than 80% utilized by the agricultural sector. NH3 is also being positioned as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

FuelPositive’s flagship carbon-free ammonia technology provides an innovative solution to these environmental concerns. Developed by Dr. Ibrahim Dincer and his team, the company’s platform allows for the in-situ production of NH3 in an entirely sustainable manner, using only water, air and sustainable electricity.

The production of hydrogen is energy intensive, but it is just one variable hindering the growth of the hydrogen economy. Other hurdles include:

• Storage – The storage of hydrogen by compression or liquification are both cost prohibitive and unsustainable.
• Distribution – The distribution network for effective hydrogen deployment has yet to be developed, as the extreme high-pressure distribution requirements to transport hydrogen would result in enormous infrastructure costs.
• End Use – R&D on the transportation-related end use applications for hydrogen is in its infancy, but almost any vehicle on the road today can be easily converted to run on NH3 at a considerably lower cost per mile traveled when compared to traditional fossil fuels.

A key benefit of FuelPositive’s patent-pending, first-of-its-kind carbon-free NH3 technology is its flexibility. The process allows for small, medium or large-scale production of NH3 on location, minimizing or even eliminating the challenges and volatility associated with storage and transportation to end use. As such, with an appropriately sized FuelPositive system and access to renewable energy, the end use applications for the company’s platform are nearly infinite.

Manufacturing Partnership

On May 19, 2021, FuelPositive announced its selection of National Compressed Air Canada Ltd. (“NCA”) to undertake manufacturing of the company’s Phase 2 hydrogen-ammonia synthesizer commercial prototype systems for carbon-free ammonia production.

In a news release detailing the partnership, FuelPositive CEO Ian Clifford noted, “This critical milestone for FuelPositive will confirm the broad application potential for our technology and is the backbone of our Carbon-Free Hydrogen-NH3 offering. Partnering with the knowledgeable and experienced team at NCA on this commercialization project will bring our development-stage program to life.”

Global Ammonia Market Outlook

The global ammonia market was valued at $52.71 billion in 2017 and is forecast to reach $81.42 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.59%, according to data from Fior Markets (https://ibn.fm/1OfOB).

The agricultural industry consumes more than 80% of global NH3. Smaller percentages can be attributed to the waste, water treatment, refrigerants, antiseptic, textile, mining and pharmaceutical industries.

One of the most polluting industries on the planet consists of conventional agribusinesses. These polluters are responsible for more greenhouse emissions per year than transportation. This is where FuelPositive’s technology is expected to be extremely beneficial.

Management Team

Ian Clifford is Director, CEO and Founder of FuelPositive Corp. He has over 25 years of experience in the fields of technology and marketing and has successfully led the company to global brand recognition through its unique energy solutions. Since 2006, Mr. Clifford has raised over $50 million in equity financing for FuelPositive. He also co-founded digIT Interactive, a full-service internet marketing company serving Fortune 500 clients, which he sold at the peak of the market in 2000.

Greg Gooch serves as a Director and President of FuelPositive. His multifaceted career in the electronics and finance industries has positioned him as a key advisor and funding partner to start-ups and new technology companies for over 40 years. Mr. Gooch has been involved with FuelPositive since its early days and has remained a significant supporter and consultant to the company over the years. He has a bachelor’s from McGill University and an MBA from the University of Western Ontario.

Astrotech Corp. (NASDAQ: ASTC)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Astrotech Corp. (NASDAQ: ASTC).

Astrotech Corp. (NASDAQ: ASTC) is an instrumentation company that designs, manufactures and commercializes solutions. Its solutions include mass spectrometry, process controls, chemical detectors and medical disease detection.

The company was established in 1984 and, prior to 2009, was known as SPACEHAB Inc., a NASA contractor offering technology originally developed for NASA to monitor air quality on the International Space Station. When the Space Shuttle program ended, the company focused on its satellite processing and mass spectrometer instrumentation units and adopted the Astrotech name.

In 2014, Astrotech sold its satellite subsidiary to focus on its Astrotech Technology Inc. (ATi) mass spectrometry solutions, which offer a number of advantages over competing platforms. Notably, Astrotech’s ATi technology is ruggedized, rapid, simple to use and customizable, with hands-free calibration and tuning.

Between 2016 and 2019, the company secured U.S. patents for its technology and achieved European Union (ECAC) certification for the TRACER 1000™, the world’s first mass-spec Explosives Trace Detector (ETD) used in airports worldwide. Astrotech continues to innovate and add to its suite of products, including AgLAB-1000, a process control system, and the BreathTest 1000, a disease detection solution.

Astrotech is headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Subsidiaries

Astrotech Technologies Inc.

Astrotech Technologies Inc. (ATi) owns and licenses the platform mass spectrometry technology originally developed by 1st Detect. This technology is designed to be less expensive, smaller and easier to use than traditional mass spectrometers.

Unlike other technologies, ATi works under high vacuum, which eliminates competing molecules, yielding higher resolution and fewer false alarms. The company’s intellectual property includes 18 granted patents, along with extensive trade secrets.

ATi exclusively licenses the Astrotech Mass Spectrometer Technology to the three wholly owned subsidiaries of Astrotech.

1st Detect Corp.

1st Detect Corp. developed the TRACER 1000, the world’s first mass spectrometry-based explosives and narcotics trace detector. 1st Detect ETDs were developed for use at airports, cargo facilities and other secured locations and borders worldwide.

1st Detect’s commercial sales of the TRACER 1000 ETD, consumables and recurring maintenance services brought in $750,000 in total revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Astrotech subsidiary recently secured two orders for a total of 24 Tracer 1000 units from two Romanian security and telecommunications companies, to be delivered during calendar 2023.

AgLAB Inc.

AgLAB Inc. is developing a series of mass spectrometers for use in the hemp and cannabis market, with an initial focus on optimizing yields in the distillation processes.

AgLAB, which uses the company’s proprietary AgLAB 1000-D2™ mass spectrometer, has been proven to improve distillation oil yields and bottom-line profits for hemp and cannabis producers. During field trials, AgLAB was able to improve ending-weight yields by an average of 24%.

BreathTech Corp.

BreathTech is developing the BreathTest-1000™, a breath analysis tool to screen for volatile organic compound (“VOC”) metabolites found in a person’s breath that could indicate they may have a compromised condition including but not limited to a bacterial or viral infection. The company believes that new tools to aid in the battle against COVID-19 and other diseases remain of the utmost importance to help more quickly identify that an infection may be present.

Market Opportunity

A report by Mordor Intelligence, a research and advisory firm, put the global mass spectrometry market at $6.37 billion in 2023. The market is forecast to grow to $8.63 billion by 2028, achieving a CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period.
