Alternus Clean Energy has agreed to acquire an 80 MW portfolio of 33 operating PV projects, distributed across eight U.S. states. 

The portfolio has agreements in place, the company says, with an average remaining term of 12 years through 16 different counterparties. 

Total consideration is approximately $60 million including existing project debt. Alternus plans to fund the acquisition at the project level with the target for completion by the end of this quarter.

“We are excited with the signing of these definitive agreements as we mark the first of our many identified strategic acquisitions and other growth initiatives in the U.S., following our successful listing on Nasdaq in December,” says Vincent Browne, Alternus Clean Energy CEO.

“On completion, this will almost triple our operational projects to over 120 MW and will further enhance operational efficiencies and financial performance across our renewable energy assets in the U.S. and Europe. The portfolio will be immediately revenue and earnings accretive generated by a diverse mix of revenue streams from quality long term offtake contracts.”

Closing of the acquisition is still subject to certain closing conditions, including restructuring and assumption of the existing debt.

Carbon Capture and Synthetic Fuels

Published

on

As we’ve noted in the past, the idea of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere is completely unfeasible, since 99.96% of the air around is something other than CO2 (mostly nitrogen).  However, there are environments that change this equation radically, cement plants being one of them, where the concentration of CO2 emissions is as high as 30% (versus .04%).

Now, this brings the subject of synthetic fuels into the realm of possibility.  Sure, if you want to make gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, you’ll need two other things: hydrogen (which can come from electrolyzing water), and a considerable amount of energy, as these processes are heavily endothermic, meaning that energy must be supplied from external sources.

The good news is that we have enormous amounts of off-peak wind and nuclear that are wasted every day.  Please see: Doty WindFuels.

With each passing day, there are fewer and fewer American voters who believe the bullshit at left.

Is Trump working hard to stay out of prison? Enrich himself and his family?  Of course.

Could be possibly care less about anything else? Obviously not.

Flagging Tourism to the United States

What’s the thought process of people in the rest of the developed world when it comes to visiting the U.S.?

Conversely, would you or I want to visit some country with a deeply corrupt regime that is systematically committing atrocities all around the globe, and whose leader is lining his pockets?

I’m glad I don’t own a resort in New England that counts on a flow of visitors from Canada.  If I were a Canadian, I’d be thinking I’d rather visit hell.
