Cleantech Power Corp. Enters Into Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire Combined Heat and Power Assets
Cleantech Power Corp. ( NEO: PWWR ) ( OTCQB: PWWRF ) ( Frankfurt: E43, WKN: A3EEHV) (" PWWR " or the " Company "), a diversified investment platform developing affordable, renewable, and reliable power and cleantech, is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the " Letter of Intent ") with an arm's length third party to acquire, directly and indirectly, certain operating combined heat and power and other assets (the " CHP Assets ") located in North America (the " Potential Transaction ").
Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company may acquire the CHP Assets by making two payments. The first payment relates to CHP Assets which are past commercial operation and will consist of a payment of approx. $7.5 million (the " COD Payment "). The COD Payment will be made on close of the Potential Transaction. The second payment relates to CHP Assets which are currently not past their commercial operation date and will consist of a payment of approx. $5 million (the " Non-COD Payment " and, collectively with the COD Payment, the " Aggregate Payment Amount "). The Non-COD Payment will be made in the sole-discretion of the Company. The Company believes that if consummated, the transactions contemplated in the Letter of Intent have the potential to provide the Company with approximately $1.5 million annual cash flow. Certain of the projects associated with the CHP Assets are subject to contract terms between 15 to 20 years.
"Cleantech Power is focused on delivering our vision of combining stable energy streams with advanced hydrogen technology to bring value to Investors," stated Frank Carnevale, Chief Executive Officer of Cleantech Power Corp. "In addition to the Potential Transaction contributing towards the Company becoming EBITDA-positive, the new project pipeline associated with the CHP Assets would bring our current total on non-contracted sales leads to over $150 million in CHP projects to develop in the coming years."
Revenue Growth & Synergies
The acquisition of CHP Assets is consistent with the Company's previous acquisition dated April 22, 2023 , and supports the Company's focus on the development of affordable, renewable and reliable power assets.
The Potential Transaction is synergistic and has the potential to support the Company in the following ways:
- Deliver EBITDA to the Company;
- Provides approx. $100 million in potential future project opportunities;
- Cost of natural gas inputs and carbon taxes are covered by off-taker customers, limiting spark spread risk to the Company;
- Project economics are not anticipated to be subject to government subsidies or carbon credits to be viable;
- Adds project development and CHP experience to the Company;
- Off-takers of CHP Asset contracts may provide future opportunities to increase integration of fuel cells; and
- The CHP Assets may enable the use of other cleantech during the life-span of the contracts with customers.
The projects associated with the CHP Assets are synergistic with the Company's experience in operations of other CHP assets currently in the Company's portfolio. PWWR believes operations and generation production may be further optimized over time, providing the potential for increased returns to the Company and its shareholders. If consummated, the Potential Transaction is expected to assist the Company in funding current operations, including the development of its Fuel Cell Assets (as defined below) and other clean technology.
As announced on April 4, 2023 , PWWR is currently working towards securing its Fuel Cell assets (the " Fuel Cell Assets ") held at Fuel Cell Power NV (" FCP NV ") in Belgium.
Financing
The Potential Transaction is non-binding in nature and is subject to the Company arranging suitable financing. There is no guarantee that financing will be arranged, however, the Company is exploring financing options, and may finance the Aggregate Payment Amount and the purchase of the CHP Assets through a combination of third-party secured debt, drawing down the approximately $5 million in convertible debt note financing announced on November 18, 2022 and March 14, 2023 that the company currently has access, or other financing alternatives.
The Company is currently performing financial, legal and operational diligence on the CHP Assets and will provide further update to the market if the Potential Transaction materializes.
2023 Priorities
On March 6, 2023, the Company announced 2023 Priorities, and the acquisition of the CHP Assets will contribute towards achieving EBITDA positive for the Company over the coming 5 to 7 quarters.
The Company will use this opportunity to assess and confirm financing opportunities to enable the development of sales opportunities it acquired from AI Renewables, sales pipeline within acquisition and additional project opportunities.

5 Biggest Clean Energy ETFs in 2024
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been gaining popularity in North America in a wide range of industries, including the clean energy sector, whose appeal is rapidly increasing.
For investors looking to gain exposure to the cleantech market, investing in individual stocks can be daunting considering the broad reach of this market sector, which includes renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar; battery technologies for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems; agritech, water treatment and air purification systems; built environment technologies; carbon capture and green hydrogen. These are just some of the trends that will affect cleantech in 2024 and beyond.
ETFs have become so popular partially because they provide a safer way for investors to gain exposure to various industries while avoiding the volatility that comes with investing in individual stocks.
Below is a look at the five top clean energy ETFs to consider, ranked by total assets. All numbers and figures were gathered using ETFdb.com and were current as of February 29, 2024. Read on to learn more.
1. iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN)
Total assets: US$2.477 billion
The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF was created on June 24, 2008, and has a large portfolio of domestic and international stocks.
An analyst report on the ETF states that it "likely doesn't deserve" a large weighting in an investor's long-term portfolio. It suggests that the fund could be useful as a "satellite holding" that looks at a fraction of the market that is often overlooked by less focused ETFs.
Three of the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF's top-weighted holdings include: Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) at 8.81 percent, First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) with a 7.64 percent weighting, and Nextracker (NASDAQ:NXT) at 4.93 percent.
2. First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQ:QCLN)
Total assets: US$837.32 billion
The First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund, which officially came into existence on February 14, 2007, is a "unique member" of the alternative energy category, according to ETFdb.com. Why? Because it invests in companies that have interests in different green energy subsectors, such as biofuels, solar energy and advanced batteries.
ETFdb.com also states that because of this ETF's focus, it may be appealing to investors looking for broader exposure in the alternative energy sector. Three of its highest-weighted holdings are ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON) at 8.83 percent, First Solar at 7.75 percent, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) at 6.93 percent.
3. Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (ARCA:PBW)
Total assets: US$366.32 million
Begun on March 3, 2005, the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF focuses on clean energy companies using green and renewable energy and technologies that help with cleaner energy.
Currently this ETF's top-weighted holdings include Nextracker at 2.37 percent, Solid Power (NASDAQ:SLDP) at 2.12 percent and American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC) at 2.08 percent.
4. ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ARCA:ACES)
Total assets: US$230.22 million
The ALPS Clean Energy ETF was formed fairly recently, on June 29, 2018. The majority of the companies in this ETF are based in North America. The top three holdings of the ETF are Enphase Energy at a weight of 6.13 percent, Itron (NASDAQ:ITRI) at 5.90 percent, and Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) at 5.75 percent.
5. SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF (ARCA:CNRG)
Total assets: US$213.84 million
The SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF was launched in October 2018 and tracks companies whose products and services are driving innovation in the clean energy sector, including the areas of solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power.
The fund currently has 51 holdings. The top three by weight are Nextracker at 3.71 percent, Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) at 3.37 percent and General Electric (NYSE:GE) at 3.13 percent.

Carbonxt Group Limited – HY24 Results
Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX:CG1) (“Carbonxt” or “the Company”) has released its Half-year report for the half-year ending 31 December 2023 and provides the following update on the key areas of activity for the period -- all numbers are in A$.
OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
- Half year revenue of $8.4 million, down 5% on HY23, primarily due to a once-off impact on sales to the group’s largest pellet customer following outages at that customer’s facility.
- Operations during the half-year highlighted by great progress on the construction of the Company’s flagship Activated Carbon production facility in Kentucky, jointly owned with Kentucky Carbon Processing, LLC (“KCP”). Commissioning of the facility is now underway with a significant production ramp-up to occur next quarter.
- Pellet sales accounted for 54% of revenue and 37% of sales volume. Carbonxt continues to see strong demand for industrial pellets which is very encouraging given the near-term entry into production at the Kentucky facility.
- Powdered activated carbon (PAC) accounted for 46% of revenue and 63% of sales volume – PAC revenue increased by 31% from HY23.
- HY24 gross margin of 44%, up from 28% in HY23 principally due to positive flow-on effects from the successful rollout of operating cost reduction initiatives, as well as a reduction in manufacturing shifts at Arden Hills. The production performance of the Company’s other major ACP customer continues to decrease and is at a record low manufacturing cost.
- Underlying EBITDA for HY23 was a loss of $286K, compared to HY23 EBITDA loss of $930K, an improvement of 69%.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW [All results in AUD]
REVENUE
- Total revenue was down 5% from HY23, driven primarily by downtime at our largest customer who had significant equipment issues at their facility in the December quarter.
- Pellet revenue was down 24% from HY23 reflecting the aforementioned reduction in demand from our largest pellet customer.
- PAC revenue was up 31% from HY23 reflecting the impact of material price increases across the customer portfolio and the increase in volume from one existing customer of approximately $1.5 million per annum.
MARGIN
- 1H23 gross margin was 44%, an increase from the 28% recorded in 1H23, reflecting the improvements made to operating costs over the past year.
- As noted earlier, continuous improvement is evident at Arden Hills based on lower fixed plant costs on a per unit basis.
- Several initiatives are also underway at Black Birch to further lower operating costs, including changes to the underlying lease structure. Negotiations on this matter will continue over the next quarter but are expected to lead to noticeable ongoing improvements in profitability.
OPERATING COSTS
- Shipping costs to customers increased in 1H24 to 13% of sales, compared to 1H23 at 11% of sales. The higher shipping costs reflect a customer mix change (lower sales to a major pellet customer who is located close to our Arden Hills plant).
- Operating costs of $2.9m were up 15% on 1H23 primarily reflecting additional one-off expenditure associated with entering into the Kentucky investment.
KENTUCKY PLANT
- During this period, construction has been underway for the new activated carbon plant in eastern Kentucky, USA. The plant will have an initial capacity of 10,000 tons per annum, with the ability to expand to 20,000 tons per annum for a small additional investment.
- Carbonxt has contributed USD $5.5 million to NewCarbon Processing, LLC (“NewCarbon”), alongside its US partner KCP. Carbonxt holds a 35.5% ownership interest in NewCarbon as of 31 December 2023, with options to invest a further USD $4.5m to move to 50% ownership interest.
- Construction progress has been pleasing with the plant now moving into the testing of front- end equipment and processes. The final electrical activities are expected to be undertaken in March with the delivery of the control systems, prior to the commencement of production.
- Near-term sales efforts are well underway with a very positive reception being received by our former industrial pellet customers. The next step for nearly all prospective customers is to provide pellet samples from the facility. This is expected to continue over the next few months.
- The JV project provides Carbonxt with a unique opportunity to benefit from major investments in pollution reduction technologies across the US market.

Definitive Feasibility Study Confirms Strong Financial Returns, Rapid Payback for Waroona Renewable Energy Project
Frontier Energy Limited (ASX: FHE; OTCQB: FRHYF) (Frontier or the Company) is pleased to announce completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS or Study) for Stage One of its Waroona Renewable Energy Project in WA, comprising a 120MWdc solar facility and an integrated four-hour 80MW battery (the Project).
HIGHLIGHTS
- Study confirms the Project as a long life, low operating cost and highly profitable renewable energy project. The Project is now advancing towards a Final Investment Decision (FID)
- Project generates average EBITDA1 of $68 million pa over first five years of production and $63m pa over first 10 years of production
- Aurora Energy Research provided independent revenue forecasts for the Project
- Post-tax payback1 of 5.8 years (4.6 years pre-tax) based on $304m total initial capital cost
- Leveraged2 post-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 21.6%1 and pre-tax IRR of 27.3%1. 100% equity financed post-tax IRR is 14.8%1 and the pre-tax IRR is 18.0%1
- Frontier expects to earn a highly leveraged return, based on the Company’s financing strategy and initial debt market soundings
- First year solar energy generation forecast at 258GWh3, with 119GWh discharged/sold through the battery (in peak periods) and 115GWh discharged from direct solar generation (daytime market) into the WA Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM)
- The average energy price forecast over the life of the operation is $143/MWh4 (peak periods) and $80MWh4 (solar price), in line with 2023 actual prices on the WEM
- Stage One utilises only a third of Frontier’s 868ha landholding and represents a fraction of total long-term potential generation the Project can unlock
- Barrenjoey appointed as Corporate Advisor to assess strategic partnerships for Stage One development and future expansion opportunities
- The Company received multiple unsolicited approaches over the past year from a range of multi-nationals, global renewable energy producers and industrial firms expressing interest in the Project
- Debt financing discussions commenced; Frontier expects indicative terms during 2Q24
This comes at a time when energy demand continues to outpace supply in WA, resulting in electricity prices reaching record highs. Just last week, record peak demand on the South West Interconnected System was surpassed once again, with the top six operational demand peaks ever recorded in the state’s main grid all happening between January 31 and Feb 19 this year. Unfortunately, the majority of the energy to meet this record demand peak came from carbon emitting sources, with 58% being gas and 32% being coal generated. This highlights the urgent requirement for renewable energy storage solutions, such as our 100% renewable energy Waroona solar/battery project, to quickly come online.
Highlights of the Study include exceptionally strong financial returns under all key metrics, including forecast EBITDA averaging $68m per annum over the first five years of production. 5
These strong returns drive a rapid post tax payback of 5.8 years, or 19% of the project life of 30 years. A major contributor to this is the Reserve Capacity Payment, a feature unique to WA, which is forecast to provide revenue of about $28m per annum during the first five years of production.
We aim to now move rapidly towards a Final Investment Decision by mid-2024. Central to this is finalising our funding strategy. Debt financing work is well underway – we have NDAs signed with multiple banks and an Information Memorandum and data room ready for banks shortly.
We have also appointed Barrenjoey, a leader in renewable energy transactions in Australia, as Corporate Advisor to assess strategic development partnerships. This follows multiple unsolicited approaches over the past year from a range of multi-nationals, global renewable energy producers and industrial firms expressing interest in the Project.
The Company will assess the merits of a strategic partner, in association with debt financing, as we aim to minimise dilution. We also believe the right partner will help accelerate our future expansion opportunities, given Stage One is only about 10% of the total long-term potential generation the Project can unlock."
