NEWTOWN, PA and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2022 /Hydrogen Technologies, LLC ("Hydrogen Technologies" or "HT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jericho Energy Ventures Inc.(TSXV:JEV)(OTC PINK:JROOF)(Frankfurt:JLM0) ("Jericho" or "JEV" or the "Company"), expects to play a growing role in Canada's energy transition by providing market-ready, real world, lower carbon solutions to organizations following Canada's most recent Carbon Tax Increase.

On April 1, 2022, the Government of Canada increased the national tax on pollution by an additional 25% (or $10 per tonne) of greenhouse gas emissions, in most provinces. The increase brings the total price in applicable provinces to $50 per tonne, which adds another 2.2 cents to the cost of a litre of gasoline, or 11 cents total. The federal tax applies directly in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with British Columbia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island also raising their provincial carbon taxes to match the new federal rate.

The Canadian government also announced a new emissions-reduction plan which includes $9.1 billion in new spending for climate programs and Ottawa has pledged to reduce emissions 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 while striving to achieve net zero by 2050.

Hydrogen Technologies has made significant progress in the Canadian market with its breakthrough cleanH2steam Dynamic Combustion Chamber™ (DCC™) zero-emission hydrogen boiler, and management anticipates expanded adoption of the DCC™ following the latest carbon tax increase.

In the first quarter of 2022, HT was retained by three multi-national corporations to provide feasibility studies for the utilization of its DCC™ clean steam generation, with four locations of these studies located in Canada. Each study offers the potential to rollout the DCC™ at many more locations across these organizations.

Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho, stated, "With Canada's stated policy to increase the carbon tax by $15 annually going forward until it reaches $170 in 2030, Canadian industrial and commercial companies now must consider significantly reducing hydrocarbon fueled capital expenditures. This presents a potential opportunity for an accelerated adoption of the DCC™ to help companies move to lower, and ultimately end, their carbon emissions."

Jericho believes there is no pathway to net zero anywhere without a robust, efficient, zero-emission boiler. HT's DCC™ is the only zero-emissions, closed-loop hydrogen boiler, which produces clean process steam without generating any air pollutants or emissions and is designed to replace existing boilers that burn coal, natural gas, diesel, or fuel oil, which are estimated to account for over 20 per cent of all global greenhouse gasses emitted each year.¹

About Hydrogen Technologies Hydrogen Technologies (HT) offers its award-winning CLEAN, ZERO-EMISSION ENERGY SOLUTION for the Commercial and Industrial Boiler Market. There are a wide range of applications for our cleanH2steam DCC™ Boiler, which work much like traditional commercial heat, hot water and industrial steam boilers: be it power generation plants, district heating, food processing, chemical refining, pulp and paper mills or large venue halls, HT has a reliable, efficient, and clean solution for your needs.

Stocks end sharply lower Friday, a day after hawkish comments by the head of the U.S. central bank, as investors also weigh some disappointing corporate earnings.

Approaching mid-year, we can see a clear shape developing for the markets in 2022, one based on increased volatility. The economy as a whole is facing challenges, in the form of inflation, a Fed policy shift, and continuing ripple effects from Russia’s Ukraine war and lingering COVID outbreaks, and investors are looking for pathways through it all. One clear path is to find the beaten-down stocks with potential for near- to mid-term outperformance. These are equities that have underperformed rec

The ongoing game of footsie between billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and social media platform Twitter reached a new stage April 22, as Musk began major steps towards buying the company. It all began when Musk announced that he had acquired a 9.2% stake in Twitter, making him the company's largest shareholder at the time. The ensuing chaos was primarily orchestrated by Musk and his very visible presence on Twitter, where he has 82.9 million followers.

Nio (NYSE: NIO) stock plunged this week and had fallen 12.4% in five days as of 2 p.m. ET Friday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. There weren't many updates from Nio this week, but the few that there were could have driven shares of the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer higher, if not for concerning news from China. Nio shares took a deep dive last week after the company said it had suspended operations in China to adhere to the COVID-19 lockdown rules.

Irrational exuberance is alive and well on Wall Street, according to a valuation model proposed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The story of how Greenspan came to use the phrase “irrational exuberance” is well-known and widely repeated: He first used it in a December 1996 speech, after listening to Yale University professor Robert Shiller give a lecture on the subject. Shiller reportedly based his comments on the Cyclically-Adjusted Price/Earnings ratio, or CAPE.

Meta Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is now facing "internal scrutiny" at the company after pressuring U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail to kill a story about her former boyfriend, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. The revelations come in an explosive new report from the Wall Street Journal detailing a coordinated campaign to discourage the tabloid from publishing the story, pulling resources from both Activision Blizzard and Meta. In spite of denying that he had knowledge of disturbing allegations of employee misconduct, including alleged rape, Kotick apparently knew about many of those incidents — a fact he concealed from the company's board.

Shares of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) were up as much as 5.5% today, before settling into a 0.8% gain as of 1:56 p.m. ET. Yesterday, China's Securities Regulatory Commission held a meeting with members of large banks, insurance companies, and the country's social security fund, and encouraged these large in-country investors to buy stocks.

Stocks aren't like children -- it's OK to talk publicly about which investments are your favorites. I own shares of more than 60 different companies, but Disney (NYSE: DIS), Costco (NASDAQ: COST), and FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) are my three favorite stocks right now.

If you’re relatively new to investing, and you think 2022 has been a year from hell, imagine being in the stock market for over 40 years. That would’ve put you through the Great Financial Crisis in 2008-2009, the dot-com crash in 2000, the crash of 1987, and the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s — besides the pandemic bear.

Investors have been yanking money out of stocks. Here's a sign they aren't nearly done, according to Bank of America.

Investors in steel giant Nucor (NYSE: NUE) had a great day on Thursday, with the stock exploding as much as 11% higher before succumbing to selling pressure on a red day for the markets, and ending with just a 3.7% gain. Indeed, with its 6.5% loss as of 11:50 a.m. ET this morning, Nucor stock has been dragged down below where it traded before reporting its earnings beat yesterday. Nucor beat earnings yesterday.
