Long-term agreement represents a new model for delivering decarbonization benefits across heavy transport and chemical industries
SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- eFuels leader, <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4141724-1&amp;h=90287756&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.infiniumco.com%2F&amp;a=Infinium">Infinium</a>, has reached an agreement with a subsidiary of midstream energy company &nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4141724-1&amp;h=2163939015&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kinetik.com%2F&amp;a=Kinetik+Holdings+Inc.">Kinetik Holdings Inc.</a>&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNTK#NYSE">KNTK</a>) ("Kinetik") to purchase carbon dioxide ("CO2") captured from Kinetik's gas gathering and processing system in the Permian Basin for use as a feedstock in the production of ultra-low carbon electrofuels ("eFuels"). Infinium eFuels are created through a proprietary process using waste CO2&nbsp;and green hydrogen derived from renewable power.
&nbsp;
The agreement is unique in its long-term nature and broad decarbonization benefits, providing measurable impacts for transportation alternatives. It provides a model for the industry to rethink how to contract waste streams such as CO2 for use in solutions that provide beneficial reuse of emissions.
"There are many roles to be played in the energy transition, and this partnership shows that eFuels production and utilization is truly a win-win for all in the energy industry," said Infinium CEO Robert Schuetzle. "It's great to welcome Kinetik into our community of companies seeking beneficial reuse solutions for its CO2. The agreement demonstrates major progress and shows Kinetik's leadership relative to the existing traditional oil and gas sector's carbon emissions strategies."
Under the terms of the agreement, a subsidiary of Kinetik will dedicate CO2 from one of its amine gas processing facilities in West Texas to Infinium for use at its previously announced second eFuels project called Project Roadrunner. Project Roadrunner will deliver products into both U.S. and international markets. It will primarily produce Infinium eSAF, a sustainable aviation fuel with the potential to significantly reduce the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions ("GHG") associated with air transportation.
"Our partnership with Infinium reinforces Kinetik's commitment to sustainability and our role as an agent for change. As the first step of Kinetik's New Energy Ventures, I am excited to announce our participation in Project Roadrunner and strongly support Infinium's mission to significantly reduce carbon emissions. Kinetik remains committed to further decarbonize our footprint and advance new low carbon technologies as part of our strategy of 'energy for change,'" said Jamie Welch, Kinetik's President and CEO.
Infinium previously <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4141724-1&amp;h=2621158356&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infiniumco.com%2Fnews%2Finfinium-receives-75m-equity-commitment-from-breakthrough-energy-catalyst-for-investment-in-project-roadrunner&amp;a=announced">announced</a> a $75 million equity commitment from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst for investment in Project Roadrunner, the first for the novel Bill Gates-founded platform that funds and invests in first-of-a-kind commercial projects for emerging climate technologies. American Airlines is the first announced offtake partner for eSAF produced at Project Roadrunner with emission reductions going to Citi, further modeling how long-term, innovative agreements contribute to decarbonization across multiple industries' value chains.
Infinium <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4141724-1&amp;h=2186925434&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infiniumco.com%2Fnews%2Finfiniums-project-pathfinder-is-worlds-first-fully-operational-efuels-facility&amp;a=operates">operates</a> the world's first commercial scale eFuels facility in Corpus Christi, Texas and has more than a dozen projects in various stages of development globally.

What Analysts Are Saying About KLA Stock

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares settled lower on Monday after new data showed that Apple smartphone shipments fell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38249995/whats-going-on-with-apple-stock-monday">approximately 10% in the first quarter</a>.
Research firm IDC reported on Sunday that Samsung has overtaken Apple as the top global phone maker with 20.8% market share, per Reuters. The report indicates that Apple&rsquo;s market share fell to 17.3% in the first quarter after sales dropped by about 10%, while global smartphone shipments increased 7.8% to 289.4 million.
Apple is expected to release earnings results for its second quarter on May 2, 2024. Analysts expect the iPhone maker to report quarterly earnings at $1.51 per share on revenue of $90.52 billion, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
With the recent buzz around Apple, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company&rsquo;s dividends too. As of now, Apple offers an annual dividend yield of 0.56%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 24 cents per share (96 cents a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $1,079,313 or around 6,250 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $215,863 or around 1,250 shares.

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($0.96 in this case). So, $6,000 / $0.96 = 6,250 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $0.96 = 1,250 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#39;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
AAPL Price Action: Shares of Apple fell 2.2% to close at $172.69 on Monday.

Expert Outlook: Honeywell Intl Through The Eyes Of 5 Analysts

In the wake of Iran&#8217;s direct assault on Israel, China has reiterated its commitment to maintaining and strengthening its relationship with Tehran. This development comes at a time when global tensions are heightened due to Iran&#8217;s actions.
What Happened: Following Iran&#8217;s unprecedented strike on Israel, China has signaled a continuation of strong bilateral ties with Tehran, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/china-tells-iran-cooperation-will-last-after-attack-on-israel?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a> on Wednesday. China&#8217;s top diplomat expressed readiness to work with Iran across various sectors.
During a phone conversation with Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated China&#8217;s intention to &#8220;steadily advance practical cooperation in various fields&#8221; and promote the development of the China-Iran relationship. Wang also acknowledged Iran&#8217;s stance that its military action was a &#8220;limited&#8221; self-defense measure and expressed confidence in Iran&#8217;s ability to manage the aftermath to prevent further instability.
The diplomatic support from China comes as Iran&#8217;s missile and drone attack on Israel raises concerns of escalating conflict. Tehran&#8217;s attack was in retaliation for an incident in Syria that resulted in the death of Iranian military personnel. This marked the first time Iran has directly targeted Israel from its territory.
In response to the attack, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation targeting China&#8217;s purchase of Iranian oil. This is part of a broader legislative effort in reaction to Iran&#8217;s aggressive move.

While specifics of the cooperation were not disclosed, China&#8217;s commitment follows historical pledges, including a vow from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to deepen ties after meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi last year. Despite US pressure on China to halt Iranian oil purchases, China remains a key buyer of Iranian oil and an influential player in discussions regarding the 2015 nuclear deal.
China&#8217;s role in the Middle East also includes facilitating a deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia to thaw diplomatic relations, as well as expanding the BRICS bloc, which now includes Iran as a member starting in 2024.
Why It Matters: China&#8217;s reaffirmation of its partnership with Iran is significant against the backdrop of recent regional tensions. Earlier this year, Chinese officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36795788/china-reportedly-asked-iran-to-control-houthi-attacks-in-red-sea-it-will-impact-our-business-with-te">reportedly warned Iran</a> to rein in Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, emphasizing the potential repercussions for Chinese-Iranian business interests.
Moreover, the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38264304/middle-east-tensions-mount-as-israel-considers-retaliation-after-irans-direct-attack">escalation of hostilities</a> between Iran and Israel, with Iran directly targeting Israeli soil, has led to international concern about a potential increase in Middle Eastern conflict. Israel&#8217;s contemplation of retaliation could further destabilize the region.
The U.S. has also voiced alarm over the military assistance that countries like North Korea, Iran, and notably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38179999/antony-blinken-raises-alarm-over-north-korea-iran-and-chinas-military-aid-to-russia">China are providing to Russia</a>, adding another layer of complexity to the geopolitical landscape.
China&#8217;s ongoing support for Iran, therefore, not only underscores the strength of their bilateral relationship but also highlights China&#8217;s strategic interests in the Middle East, despite mounting pressure from the US and the international community.

Key Takeaways From Super Micro Computer Analyst Ratings

Democrats are taking jabs at former President Donald Trump for allegedly dozing off during his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38261938/marjorie-taylor-greene-attempts-to-defend-trump-in-hush-money-trial-ends-up-bungling-it-up-entirely">hush money trial </a>in New York.
What Happened: Trump was seen with his eyes closed and leaning back in his chair during the trial, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4595663-trump-appearing-sleep-court-ny-hush-money/">reported</a> The Hill on Monday. The press corps had differing opinions on whether Trump was actually asleep.
Senior political correspondent at The New York Times, Maggie Haberman, stated that Trump appeared to be sleeping and even ignored a note passed to him by his lawyer. His "jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack," Haberman told CNN.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s trial is related to a hush money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. The trial began on Monday with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38261008/donald-trump-argues-political-prosecution-before-jury-selection-in-new-york-trial-judge-not-goin">the jury selection process</a>, which is expected to last several days before opening arguments commence.

Trump Gets Picked On By Democrats For Allegedly Snoozing In Court: 'His Jaw Kept Falling On His Chest And His Mouth Kept Going Slack'

University of Oxford data scientist and researcher Hannah Ritchie discussed environmental challenges and the data-driven pathways to address them during an episode of &#8220;Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates.&#8221;&nbsp;
Promoting her book &#8220;Not the End of the World,&#8221; Ritchie&#8217;s conversation Gates, founder of with Microsoft Corp., ventured beyond the common discourse on climate change, offering a holistic view of environmental science infused with optimism and actionable solutions.
Ritchie&#8217;s journey from an overwhelmed environmental science student to a pioneering researcher underscores the transformative power of data in reframing environmental discourse.&nbsp;

</ul>
&#8220;Despite having studied environment for a long, long time, I felt, to some extent, quite helpless,&#8221; said Ritchie, head of research at Our World in Data.&nbsp;
Ritchie's work at Our World in Data marked a pivotal shift toward a solution-oriented approach instead of focusing on headlines.&nbsp;
"It's stepping back to look at the data,&#8221; she said.
The conversation dissected the multifaceted nature of environmental challenges, with air pollution taking center stage as an &#8220;underrated problem.&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;If you look at the number of premature deaths from air pollution, it's actually much higher than climate change today,&#8221; Ritchie said, citing World Health Organization estimates of around 7 million premature deaths annually. This statistic highlights the gravity of air pollution and showcases Ritchie&#8217;s ability to distill complex data into compelling evidence for action.

Addressing the pervasive sense of doom that often accompanies environmental discussions, Ritchie shared her transformation, fueled by the insights of the late Swedish physician Hans Rosling.&nbsp;
&#8220;A decade ago I was probably in that very same position,&#8221; she said, reflecting on her initial despair. However, Rosling&#8217;s work illuminated the substantial human progress over the last few centuries, challenging the narrative of inevitable decline.
The dialogue ventured into technological innovation, particularly the potential of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> (AI) in tackling environmental issues.&nbsp;
Gates shared his astonishment at AI&#8217;s rapid advancement, stating, &#8220;I was very stunned how the AIs went from basically not being able to read or write at all, to doing that in a very facile way.&#8221;&nbsp;
Gates's optimism was echoed by Ritchie, who sees AI as a critical tool in modeling complex environmental phenomena and driving forward technological solutions in energy and food production.&nbsp;
When Gates was asked whether AI would play a role in climate action, he replied "Absolutely." Gates gave the example of genetically modifying beef cattle to produce less methane or producing "meat without the cow."&nbsp;

</ul>
Ritchie&#8217;s perspective on food technology, especially in the context of meat substitutes and the challenges of changing dietary habits, offered a look into the complexities of environmental action.&nbsp;
&#8220;I'm now becoming much more skeptical that it will be as easy as that,&#8221; she said of the shift to plant-based diets, highlighting the cultural and personal hurdles in adopting alternative food sources.
The podcast episode culminated in a discussion on human welfare as the ultimate metric of environmental success.&nbsp;
&#8220;The declining trend in disaster deaths was really surprising to me,&#8221; Ritchie said, using data to challenge the media focus on disaster and despair.&nbsp;
This optimistic outlook, grounded in data analysis, reinforces the notion that while the challenges are significant, so too are the opportunities for meaningful progress.
