Agreed - it seems like econergy is not on the radar of many investors yet (no trades today as far as i can see) but as news like this filters through we should hopefully see some action.

but look at Trading Emissions (TRE) - that bobbled along at not much above the placing place for ages then shot up. One year on then TRE is 90% up. As business builds with ECG then I would think similar is quite possible. I'll be quite happy if ECG is trading at 190p this time next year. Although as ECG as a more specific geographical focus then the possibilities of greater rises is possible.

wow - some news! and a stonking 0.9% gain... exciting stuff.

Econergy brokers largest single trade of Current Certified Emissions Reductions


Econergy International ("the Company"), an international clean energy
investment, management, and consulting group and a world leader in carbon credit
brokerage, today announces that its carbon brokerage segment has brokered the
largest ever trade of Certified Emissions Reduction ("CERs") of current
contracts, demonstrating the strength and breath of the Econergy business.

Under the terms of the deal, the German bank KfW Bankengruppe (KfW banking
group) has bought 1million tonnes of CERs from Biogas Ambiental, the Brazilian
landfill gas company.

KfW purchases the CERs for buyers within the European Union's Emissions Trading
Scheme (EU ETS) which was established to allow trading of carbon dioxide
emissions reduction permits.

The CERs have been generated from one of Brazil's largest landfill sites in
Sao Paulo. The landfill site emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which
Biogas Ambiental is able to capture, preventing the gas from escaping into the
atmosphere. Under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM),
methane capture plants are eligible for CERs, which can then be sold into the EU
ETS.

Tom Stoner, CEO of Econergy International, said: "This is an example of the
Kyoto Protocol working and a significant landmark for the global carbon trade
because of the scale and the potential for more such deals. This deal delivers
emissions reductions and helps to reduce climate change."

United States Backs Natural Gas Distribution Project in Brazil

Investment corporation will provide $5.4 million loan to extend to rural areas


The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) will provide a $5.4 million loan to support a natural gas distribution project in Brazil that will improve rural communities' access to clean-burning natural gas, according to a January 11 OPIC press release.

OPIC will provide the loan to Houston-based NEOgas to expand its operations in Brazil. The U.S. company will work with Brazilian authorities to identify areas of demand and will work to provide gas to these areas, OPIC said.

OPIC President Robert Mosbacher Jr. explained the utility of the project in the press release.

"This project achieves several important developmental goals for Brazil: it extends the country's energy infrastructure to underserved rural areas, and does so by providing clean-burning natural gas to both retail and industrial customers," Mosbacher said. "OPIC is pleased to work with a U.S. small business on a project with so many developmental benefits."

Following is the text of the OPIC press release:

U.S. Small Business Uses OPIC Loan To Expand Clean Energy Technology In Brazil

A U.S. small business will use a loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to expand its natural gas distribution project in Brazil, helping that nation meet a growing demand for clean-burning natural gas, OPIC President and CEO Robert Mosbacher, Jr., announced today.

As part of OPIC's commitment to the Clean Energy Technology Exporters initiative, multi-agency initiative to encourage U.S. clean energy technologies, OPIC will provide a $5.4 million loan to Houston-based NEOgas to expand its operations. The project is expected to drastically increase the feasibility of using clean-burning compressed natural gas (CNG) in rural areas that are not currently served by natural gas pipelines, as well as its use in natural gas-powered vehicles.

Although Brazil has a growing network of gas pipelines, much of the country still lacks access to branch pipelines, thereby denying direct availability of natural gas to consumers and industries. NEOgas transports gas that is available through the state gas distribution companies and delivers it to industrial and natural gas vehicle sites.

Specifically, the company works with Brazilian state agencies to identify areas of demand and negotiates with natural gas distributors for the right to connect a compression station to a pipeline. Natural gas is then compressed and downloaded from the station into NEOgas transport vehicles. The gas is transported to retail gas stations and industrial parks.

"This project achieves several important developmental goals for Brazil: it extends the country's energy infrastructure to underserved rural areas, and does so by providing clean-burning natural gas to both retail and industrial customers," Mosbacher said. "OPIC is pleased to work with a U.S. small business on a project with so many developmental benefits."

The project was processed through a small-business fast-track system established by a framework agreement concluded last year between OPIC and Interlink Capital Strategies, a Washington, D.C.-based financial consultant.

NEOgas was founded in 2001 as part of a venture capital-backed enterprise to create niche oil service business units. Later that year, NEOgas signed a cooperative research and development agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy through its Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention program to improve CNG economics through the development of new gas compression technologies and high-pressure gas storage vessels. By using their systems NEOgas costumers are able reduce costs by up to 50 percent, thereby increasing the feasibility of using clean burning CNG in rural areas that are not currently served by natural gas pipe lines.

OPIC was established as an agency of the U.S. government in 1971. It helps U.S. businesses invest overseas, fosters economic development in new and emerging markets, complements the private sector in managing risks associated with foreign direct investment, and supports U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC charges market-based fees for its products, it operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to taxpayers.

OPIC's political risk insurance and financing help U.S. businesses of all sizes invest in more than 150 emerging markets and developing nations worldwide. Over the agency's 33-year history, OPIC has supported $164 billion worth of investments that have helped developing countries to generate more than 732,000 host-country jobs and $13 billion in host-government revenues. OPIC projects have also generated $69 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 264,000 American jobs.

abundance,

sorry - havn't found the Prospectus yet - might be worth phoning the company about it

[abundance99] 28/2/2006 16:37

I notice that they raised £55m and that the company is worth £87m. Does anyone have any links to any financial info or reports. I'm interested but need to find out a bit more about how profitable they are already. Thanks for any help.

Econergy Project Investment and Development is building a portfolio of clean energy assets that will generate both power and carbon credit sales in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as in other emerging economies. Econergy defines a "clean energy project" as one that has the effect of reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions ("GHGs").

In October 2004, as part of its evolving strategy to build, acquire, own and operate a strategic portfolio of investments in clean energy projects, Econergy closed the initial round of investment into the CleanTech Fund (CTF), a $20m private equity fund focused on investment in clean energy projects in Latin America.

In December 2005, the CleanTech Fund's Investment Committee approved its first investment into NEOgás, a Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG") distribution company in Brazil, which currently has a 75 per cent market share in the CNG distribution business.

In January 2006, as part of its project development initiatives, Econergy was awarded the contract to supply, install, operate and maintain a 10MW customer peak shaving operation for UCAR in Mexico. This activity will be managed through Econergy's Mexico office, which has been providing on-site energy generation services to industrial and commercial customers in Mexico. These services include: design, procurement, installation and operation and maintenance of peak shaving power supply systems.

Econergy may acquire either minority or majority interests in existing clean energy projects and may develop, build, own and operate greenfield projects, either alone or in strategic partnerships.

Clean energy projects may include, but are not limited to:

Power generation using renewable technologies (wind, hydro, geothermal, solar, biomass, alternative fuels, etc.)
Manufacture and/or distribution of alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol and CNG
Econergy's present focus is on Latin America and the Caribbean, but its investment and development interests extend to all emerging markets.

[cjo] 31/5/2001 10:27

This company was floated about 12 months ago, if memory serves me correctly at about 75p

It's main "product" is a game called skill-square. Where punters buy a small square of a pitch. They gamble on goals being scored, assists etc from their square. Juventus are the first club to sign up

This game was invented by Grant Bovey (Mr Turner!)who was granted shares in exchange for the rights to the game

I believe every member of the original board has now left and there are threats of litigation from some of these people

There are a few well known shareholders inc Sir Alex Ferguson

The main thrust now seems to be towards Formula One

Lost a small fortune myself having sold at 12 and 13p, bought mid 60s

If tempted DYOR (a lot)!

[hansrod] 31/5/2001 08:11
