About EcoCRED

EcoCRED is a sustainability platform aimed at empowering people to do more for the planet. Through its mobile application, EcoCRED estimates users' daily carbon footprint based on where they live, how they commute, their heating and air conditioning habits and the type of vehicle they drive. It also suggests simple tasks and useful lifestyle habits that help educate the users and, if incorporated into daily routine, significantly reduce their carbon footprint.

On the EcoCRED app, users can build eco-friendly habits, discover sustainable products, and read insightful articles about climate change. The app and website also offer science-backed carbon offsets that help the community get closer to a carbon-neutral life. The App has had over 60,000 downloads and the EcoCRED community of users have collectively reduced over 4,000,000 pounds of carbon emissions through their habits and offsets since the app was launched ( https://www.ecocred.io/pages/about ). Based on some basic information, such as diet, lifestyle, and residence, the app analyzes its user's current energy consumption behaviors to estimate the user's daily carbon footprint. EcoCRED's community of eco-conscious users connect with each other for support and helpful information.

Strategic Acquisition

The EcoCRED acquisition is a strategic one for Facedrive. In an immediate sense, the acquisition will enable Facedrive to implement EcoCRED's carbon-offsetting technology throughout its ecosystem of application verticals. From a broader perspective, EcoCRED's mission is to assist consumers in reducing their carbon footprint, while Facedrive was founded with the objective of providing environmentally-conscious consumers with responsible alternatives that, among other things, helped them offset the carbon impact of their decisions (for example, their ride). The intention is for these natural synergies to appeal to a common customer base and target audience.

"Facedrive and EcoCRED were both founded on a common vision and guided by similar principles. Furthermore, both companies have demonstrated that consumers will increasingly show a preference for eco-friendly options," said Sayan Navaratnam, CEO and Chairman of Facedrive. "We will be working closely with Exelon to ensure that EcoCRED transitions smoothly into the Facedrive ecosystem and we are positive that EcoCRED's unique technology will provide great value for our combined customer base."

Adam Rozencwajg: Will EVs Succeed? Efficiency, Emissions and a Potential Catalyst

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been widely hailed as a key part of the green energy transition, but are they helping as much as we think they are? Adam Rozencwajg, managing partner at Goehring & Rozencwajg, weighed in.

In a conversation with the Investing News Network, he spoke about the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of EVs, explaining how they stack up against traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

On the energy efficiency side, Rozencwajg said EVs are typically viewed as having 90 percent efficiency — in other words, once electrons are in the battery of a car, 90 percent of that energy is translated into the wheels to move the car.

It focuses on 122 industrial producers, tracing their cumulative historical emissions from 1854 through 2022.

The document shows that since the Industrial Revolution, over 70 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the fossil fuel and cement sectors can be attributed to 78 of those companies.

Emergent Waste Solutions CEO Says Making Waste Management Profitable Key to Sustainability

Emergent Waste Solutions is resolved to make the solutions to the global waste disposal challenge economically sustainable and profitable, according to the company's CEO, Kevin Hull.

“We determined that if we're going to make an impact in this world, we've got to make being profitable, economically sustainable, a part of the equation as well,” he said. "And that's where we're unique in the whole field of environmental technologies."

Emergent’s ATS Technology uses thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, technology to break waste down at the molecular level using high temperatures with an absence of oxygen, combustion and fire. The process results in biochar, bio gas and bio oil, which are kept separate by the technology and all have value. For example, the biochar can then be used to create carbon-based products such as activated carbon, carbon black, grow mediums and bio coal, with multiple revenue streams and environmental benefits.
