A-GAS INTERNATIONAL EXPANDS ITS PRESENCE IN AMERICA

LEADING REFRIGERANTS SUPPLIER A-GAS INTERNATIONAL COMPLETES STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF KEY INDEPENDENT US REFRIGERANTS SUPPLIER AND DISTRIBUTOR, COOLGAS

Bristol-based A-Gas International (or“the Group”), one of the world’s largest independent suppliers of refrigerants, associated environmental services, and speciality gases and chemicals, has completed the acquisition of Houston, Texas based Coolgas Inc. (“Coolgas”), a leading independent supplier and distributor of refrigerants to the US market. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The transaction represents the fifth strategic acquisition completed by A-Gas so far in 2012, and forms part of the Group’s acquisitive growth strategy which is being executed both in the UK and internationally. The enlarged group will have a turnover of c. £130m and 237 employees.

Founded in 1994 by Jesse Combs, Coolgas has grown over the past 18 years to become one of the leading independent distributors of refrigerants in the US. Coolgas’ “refrigerants made simple” philosophy reflects the focus on customer service that has enabled it to grow first to a regional and then to a national player. Coolgas has recently commissioned a new refrigerant storage and packaging facility in Houston and has distribution centres in California, Utah, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland and Georgia ensuring that Coolgas is close to its customers wherever they are located.

In recent years Coolgas has also become an EPA registered reclaimer of refrigerants and a project developer for the generation of carbon offsets on the California Climate Action Reserve exchange. These capabilities enable Coolgas to manage the lifecycle of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and substances with high Global Warming Potential (GWP) to safeguard the environment.

The acquisition builds on A-Gas’acquisition of Ohio based refrigerant reclaimer and halocarbon management specialist RemTec International in July 2012. Coolgas provides a strong strategic fit, bringing a strong brand and complementary footprint that will accelerate refrigerants sales growth. Further the reclaim and carbon credits businesses extend A-Gas’ existing operations in the US Environmental Services market which is already well established in the UK and Europe.

The acquisition of Coolgas follows on from the successful acquisitions not only of RemTec International in July 2012 but also of Australian based Technochem in March 2012 and SA Rural in May 2012, and UK based A-Zone Technologies in April 2012.

Commenting on the acquisition:

John Rutley, Executive Chairman and founder of A-Gas International said:
Jesse Combs and his management team have built a great business in the US refrigerant sector and we are delighted to add it to our rapidly expanding presence in this important market. The fit with our recently acquired business, RemTec, is perfect and allows us to offer a full range of products and services to our customers in the world’s largest refrigerant market.

Jon Masters, Regional Managing Director of A-Gas International said:

The acquisition of Coolgas will significantly strengthen our position as the leading independent global supplier of refrigerants at a time when regulatory changes are providing increasing opportunities for reclamation and recycling of used refrigerants using our market leading technology developed in the UK. We look forward to supporting the Coolgas management team and workforce in continuing to provide outstanding service to its customers.

Jesse Combs, CEO of Coolgas said:

I feel honoured that A-Gas saw Coolgas as a strategic fit and entry point into the US refrigerants’ distribution business. Our team of professionals have a customer service mind-set that I believe sets Coolgas apart from the rest of the industry. I have the upmost confidence that the A-Gas team will support and grow upon our "refrigerants made simple" philosophy for many years to come.

A-Gas buys disposal specialist

A company based in Portishead which specializes in supplying gases used in refrigeration has just completed its fourth takeover this year.

A-Gas has gone on its acquisition spree as part of a strategy to expand into international markets.

The firm is already one of the world's largest suppliers of refrigerated gases, environmental services and specialty gases and chemicals.

The company, which also has offices in Bristol, has bough United States based RemTec International in its latest deal. The firm specializes in disposing of harmful gases.

The value of the deal was not made public but it took place with support from private equity specialist LDC, which invested in the firm in April 2011.

RemTec was set up in 1986 and provides products and services inolved in managing Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and substances high in Global Warming Potential (GWP) across the world. 

As part of the expansion plan A-Gas has now got a presence in the Middle East, China, Australia and India as well as Latin America.

RemTec has contracts with organizations all over the world to remove, recycle and remarket halocarbons.

The acquisition of RemTec follows on from similar acquisitions of Australian-based Technochem in March and SA Rural in May, and UK based A-Zone Technologies in April.

John Rutley, chairman of A-Gas International, said, "The acquisition of RemTec is another great example of our ambition to grow the business on a global scale." 

"RemTec brings a market leadership position in Halons and a strong platform for growth in refrigerants; we believe that there is real scope to build further upon RemTec's success to date in North America, whilst also driving value across the enlarged group."

Ian Podmore of LDC added: "2012 has been an exceptionally busy year to date for A-Gas. RemTec is the fourth strategic acquisition completed by the business this year and not only strengthens their existing position in the global refrigerant market but also gives the business real scale within the USA."

"The transaction brings many strategic benefits to A-Gas and is part of an agreed strategy to rapidly expand and build the business both through organic investment and bolt-on acquisitions. We will continue to work closely with the team to drive their amitious growth plans."

Yann Souillard, managing director of LDC South Region, added: "LDC's South team has worked in close conjunction with the management team to support their ambitious 'buy and build' growth strategy. As part of our investment commitment, LDC works closely with our investment portfolio to provide expertise and follow-on funding when the right target companies become available."

Analysis: Brazil struggles to cash in on carbon credits

By Marcelo Teixeira

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 19 (Reuters Point Carbon) - A patchwork of regional legislation and complex rules governing land ownership have so far kept Brazil from cashing in on what could potentially be the world's biggest carbon offset market.
The country, home to the much of the planet's rain forest, has struggled to come up with a national strategy to make money protecting its vast ecosystem with projects that Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation, also known as REDD.

Although not an official theme of the United Nations' Conference on Sustainable Development, REDD has been a hot topic this week in Rio de Janeiro, where policymakers from more than 190 nations are meeting to discuss environmental sustainability.

The idea is to get the private sector and governments to pay to reduce deforestation, which accounts for up to 17 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Advocates say REDD is needed to keep the planet from heating up and causing widespread famine and drought, a key objective at U.N. climate conferences.

"You cannot address climate change without including REDD," says Arild Angelsen, an environmental economist with the Center for International Forestry Research and a professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

But Brazil, which could potentially produce 58 percent of global REDD credits according to the World Bank, risks falling behind African and Asian nations in attracting private and public investment.

"We have some 19 state-level legislations on climate and REDD and we will have to find a way to harmonize these rules under a national strategy," Brazilian Climate Change Secretary Carlos Klink said. "We know there is great potential, but also a huge difficulty to move ahead."

Emission reductions from anti-deforestation projects are not eligible for carbon credits under the international U.N. framework. They are also not allowed in mandatory emissions trading programs in Europe and New Zealand.

Currently, only Japan and the U.S. state of California have said they might accept REDD credits for compliance with their carbon reduction programs.

In 2010, the U.N. asked countries to develop national strategies, baselines and monitoring systems, while discussions continued to include these credits in a new climate regime that could take effect in the next decade.

That triggered a rush in some nations, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Congo, which were quick to map out national strategies to attract large corporate buyers seeking greener images who want reduce their carbon footprints.

BURNED
Marco Antonio Fujihara, a consultant with Key Associados, manages two low-carbon funds in Brazil and said financial resources for the few REDD projects that exist have so far originated from donations. When this money runs out, the number of projects will decrease, unless private-sector buyers can be found.

But some investors seeking to buy up land rights lasting decades have in the past been caught short by Brazil's complex land laws. Earlier this year, Brazil moved to cancel more than 30 such deals unless they had the express permission of the government.

Plinio Ribeiro, executive director of trading and consulting company Biofilica, said investors need clarity or they will stay away.

"The risk is pretty high right now to invest in REDD projects in Brazil," he said. "A national strategy that is linked to a future national emissions market and that deals with the land ownership issue, would greatly reduce risk and attract a lot of people to these initiatives."

ROUND OF TALKS
In a bid to get things moving, the Brazilian government announced this week a new round of meetings between officials from states that already have some REDD legislation, such as Acre, Amazonas, Pará and Mato Grosso.

Acre has one of the most-advanced policies and has already clinched a deal with California to trade future carbon credits from its cap-and-trade scheme, which is scheduled to start next year.
Said Monica de los Rios from Acre's Climate Change Institute: "We spent the last two years defining legal structures in the state, but now we run the risk of not fitting in a future national framework."

CCAs trade lower in light weekly volume

SAN FRANCISCO- June 7 (Reuters Point Carbon) - California carbon allowances (CCAs) for delivery in 2013 slid 5 cents from their close one week ago to end Thursday at $15.50 per tonne in the lightest weekly trading volume so far this year.

Just 10,000 CCAs changed hands in two trades this week on the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), with all of the action taking place on Thursday.

In the over-the-counter market, CCAs were bid at $15.25/t and offered at $15.75/t, one broker said.
"It seems like the market is just waiting for time to pass and for more people to get into the game," a second broker said Thursday. "The same people can only trade so much with each other until others get in on the fun."

Many in the market believe there will not be any significant trading volume or price swings until after the November allowance auction.

OFFSETS
No trades were reported for California carbon offsets (CCOs), where buyers and sellers are engaged in a standoff over credit prices.

Bids for offsets derived from the destruction of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), the most popular type of compliance-grade credit, have recently inched up from $6.50/t to $7.25/t, but sellers have refused to meet buyers at any price lower than $7.50/t, a broker said.

"The sellers have drawn a line in the sand and are content to sit at the $7.50/t level," he said.
Sellers have said that a price less than $7.50/t they would be approaching the cost of producing the credits, the broker added, although he said they may just be posturing.

Other sellers believe that offset credits, which are supposed to serve as a lower-price compliance instrument, should not be selling at a discount greater than 50 percent of an allowance.

RGGI
No trades were reported for allowances in the northeast's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) this week, market sources said.

RGGI allowances for delivery in December 2012 were bid at $1.93 and offered at $2.00 in the over-the-counter market this week, unchanged from a week ago, sources said.

RGGI auctioned 36.4 million 2012 allowances on Wednesday.

The number of allowances sold and the clearing price for those permits will be announced on Friday, a RGGI spokesperson said.

Brokers in the market expect the allowances to clear around the program's reserve price of $1.93/t. (Reporting by Rory Carroll; editing by Bob Burgdorfer and M.D. Golan)

Federal Court Blocks California Carbon Emissions Rule

Cheryl K. Chumley writes from Northern Virginia

A federal district court has put a temporary stop to a California Air Resources Board (CARB) rule restricting carbon dioxide emissions from transportation fuels. According to the court, the rule violates the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause by discriminating against oil and biofuel producers located outside the state of California.

The court’s Dec. 29 decision did not take issue with CARB’s asserted authority to impose carbon dioxide restrictions and stringent reporting requirements. The decision requires CARB rules to avoid discriminating against fuel sources based on where they are produced.

‘A Belated Christmas Present’
“I, along with every single California consumer, was given a belated Christmas present when the Eastern District of California Federal Court placed a stay on the implementation and enforcement of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard,” said Tom Tanton, president of T2 & Associates, an energy technology firm, and a fellow in environmental studies at the Pacific Research Institute. “Potentially increasing fuel costs by 20 or 30 percent for no discernible benefit flies in the face of good government and environmental protection.”

Tanton also said it was “high time” the CARB was challenged on its members’ “roughshod” treatment of Californians.

Damaging California’s Economy
“Oil and gasoline are used in transportation vehicles precisely because they are less expensive than alternative fuel sources,” said Heartland Institute science director Jay Lehr. “Reducing carbon dioxide emissions by punishing inexpensive energy sources is only going to hurt California consumers. The court gave California consumers an economic break by halting the CARB Rule.”

“Oil and gasoline are also more dependable fuel sources than the proposed alternatives,” Lehr explained. “California has for years been trying to impose alternative fuel mandates on its consumers, but even the enormous power of the state has been unable to force such a transition. The state has done its best to create and encourage hydrogen highways, hybrid vehicles, electric plug-in vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles, etc., but where are the results from all these expensive programs? The results are merely been money sent down the drain.”

‘Facially Discriminatory’
Trevor Burrus, a legal associate with the Cato Institute’s Center for Constitutional Studies, said the court’s decision will likely withstand appellate court review.

“At the very least,” he said, “it will not be easily overturned.”

The in-state versus-out-of-state discrepancies involved in the California case provide solid cause for discrimination charges, Burrus says.

“As the court describes, the different treatment between out-of-state providers and identical in-state providers is facially discriminatory and thus must meet strict scrutiny, … the highest level of constitutional scrutiny,” he said. “In order to survive, a law must not only forward a compelling interest of the state, but it must be narrowly tailored to reach that goal.”

In other words, Burrus explained, “if there are other methods of accomplishing the goal that do not discriminate, then the law will fail.”

Houston poised to become California CO2 trading hub

London, 1 February, 2012: Reuters

California will next year host the world’s second biggest CO2 market as it tries to roll back its carbon footprint two decades, but it will not be San Francisco or Los Angeles that will be the center of trade, but the U.S. oil-dealing hub in Texas. Home to dozens of oil, gas and power firms, the city of Houston stands to emerge as the nerve center for trade in California emission permits when the market starts in 2013.

In an ironic twist, ICAP Energy, Vitol and JP Morgan, as well as several other international banks, will run desks aimed at cutting emissions while sitting in offices in the country’s biggest polluting state.

“At this point, California carbon is being seen largely as an extension of the energy business and Houston is the main hub for energy,” said Henrik Hasselknippe, director of global project development at the Green Exchange (GreenX).

Banks, brokers and trading houses will join nearly one dozen Houston-based power, oil and gas companies who will face caps under California’s cap-and-trade scheme and trade permits from Texas.

“It’s very safe to say that Houston should have a vibrant capacity to do some carbon trading, specifically for the California market, specifically because we have a vibrant energy trading sector here,” said Mithun Rathore, a broker at Amerex.

Companies subject to caps “are already attributing or correlating carbon compliance with west coast power trading, so there is a good number of companies assigning their carbon trading to their west power traders, who are pricing (CO2 permits) into the forward curve,” he added.

Some observers said while New York is a more suitable base for financial trade, specialized energy-related commodities, such as carbon, have a hard time competing there.

“The carrying costs of New York are very expensive. When you compare (carbon trading) to the benefits from general financial trading – it may not be enough to compete,” said Victor Flatt, an environmental law professor at the University of North Carolina.

TESTING THE MARKET

Trade in California Allowances (CCAs) has been piecemeal so far, but analysts predict activity will take off in the second half of the year, when companies facing caps are cleared to begin buying pollution permits.

Investment bank Barclays Capital was an early player in the California carbon market, having traded the first forward CCAs in November 2010, but has since closed its New York emissions trading desk citing the uncertain regulatory environment and poor margins.

But Barclay’s move to close operations is not a common trend seen at other institutions.

One vice president of power and gas at an international bank who requested anonymity said his team “has to follow” California carbon, but has so far only bought a small amount of allowances in preparation for a larger market.

Meanwhile, Fabio Nehme, general manager for environmental products at the Houston office of energy company EDF Trading’s, said his firm was “getting organized” to be able to engage more actively in the market once trading volume becomes more robust.

Amerex’s Rathore said he expects the larger California emitters in the power sector to start becoming active in pre-compliance trade by the second quarter of the year, ahead of the first auction of CCAs.

But liquidity should increase later this year or next year when large energy companies who export oil and gas to California, prepare join the mandatory market in 2015.

“It’s smart to start understanding the market early,” he said. “Once the clock starts ticking you want to make sure you are not caught with your pants down.”

Some observers expect carbon trading activity to move westward after traders get their feet wet in California emissions trading in the program's early years.

CALIFORNIA JOBS

Tim O'Connor, director of California climate policy for the Environmental Defense Fund', said it is natural for trading to start in Houston because there is an infrastructure already in place.

But as demand for permits increases, he said he expects California's cities to create new jobs for for lawyers, consultants and traders who understand the state's market regulations.

"I think what we will see is increasing pressure for people who are here in California who know the California landscape and how the market works," he said.

He added that despite the fact that some California carbon market jobs will be based in Houston, it does not mean "green jobs" will be lost in the state -- a criticism of opponents of cap-and-trade.

O'Connor said the program will generate new jobs in companies specializing in energy efficiency, renewable energy and clean technology.

California carbon trading at $15

Following news that the state’s largest emitter was looking to purchase carbon allowance and offsets, California carbon allowances (CCAs) saw prices rise to $15 per ton.

The Intercontinental Exchange saw 130,000 CCAs trade this week after Pacific Gas & Electric announced it was looking to buy a substantial amount of carbon to meet new state requirements beginning in 2013.

Carbon offsets saw a very busy week as well, with 180,000 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) credits trading at upwards of $9

Eco-friendly car refrigerant 'turns into deadly gas it vehicle catches fire'

By Henry Samuel, Paris

7:34PM GMT 17 Jan 2012

A new "eco-friendly" car refrigerant expected to become the industry standard turns into a deadly gas if the vehicle housing it catches fire and should be shelved, it has been claimed.

The coolant for car mobile air conditioning systems, called HFO-1234yf, has been approved for use in the US, Japan and Europe and Toyota and Suburu have started fitting their cars with the substance.

It was chosen as it is produces 98 per cent less climate damaging that its predecessor, R134a.

However, a German expert on the compound has warned that it is should be scrapped as it is much more flammable than the current coolant and when heated above 500C (932F) releases hydrogen fluoride, a highly toxic gas. Temperatures in car fires can easily reach twice that heat.

"You have 600g of this cooling agent per car, which if it burned completely would produce 200g of hydrogen fluoride at a level of concentration that is very high. For a human just one gram is deadly – either inhaled in gas form, through the skin or when dissolved in water," warned Prof Andreas Kornath, an inorganic chemistry professor at Munich University who has been studying the substance for 20 years.

The odourless gas has no instant effect but once inside the body a person dies within a day or so in terrible pain due to internal burns and muscle failure.

"This product should not be on the market. There is a real risk every time a car catches fire, which happens 30,000 times per year in Germany alone," he told the Daily Telegraph.

Prof Kornath issued his warning at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Honeywell, which produces the product, has refuted the claims.

"The risk of HF formation is not higher than with R134a – and this refrigerant has been used for decades without any recorded incident," said Honeywell's Sabine Chmielewski.

SAE International Cooperative Research Program, which comprises leading automakers, found HFO-1234yf to offer "superior environmental performance" to CO2 while having "the lowest risk for use in mobile air conditioning systems in meeting environmental and consumer needs."

But Prof Kornath alleged the product had been mainly approved on the basis of tests compiled by the chemical makers, not the findings of independent research.

BAM, Germany's Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, for instance, had warned of the risks of using it, he said.

He recommended using carbon dioxide as a coolant, as the fire risks and toxic hazards were nil.
Toyota confirmed it would start using the new refrigerant in new models starting this year.
The car maker’s spokesman Jean-Yves Jault said: “We think the new refrigerant is as safe, yet much more environmentally friendly, as the previous one. This was confirmed by the SAE CRP investigation whose outcome we support.”

"We undertook flammability tests and risk assessment with an independent third party institute, and the results confirmed the safety of the new refrigerant.”

He said that that the phenomenon of hydrogen fluoride gas is “not new", and that concentration of fluorine atoms was “actually much higher” in the historic refrigerant, R134a.

RemTec's Carbon Offsets & Destruction Programs

Carbon Credits offer incentives to recover and destroy ODS. The Destruction of CFCs prevents Global Warming and damage to the Ozone Layer.

The Climate Action Reserve (CAR) has formally released a Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Project Protocol and an Imported Ozone Depleting Substances Project Protocol. These protocols will provide a standardized approach for quantifying and monitoring the GHG reductions from projects that destroy domestic or imported ODS with high global warming potentials that otherwise would have been vented to the atmosphere. RemTec has been participating in this project by serving on the Workgroup that provided input to the CAR. The protocols are available at this link:
http://www.climateactionreserve.org/how/protocols/adopted/ods/current/

RemTec offers destruction services for ODS destruction using the patented Argon Plasma Arc technology and will be following all procedures to qualify ODS destruction for CAR protocols. Depending on market conditions, these offset credits could cover all the costs of destruction and provide additional incentives to convert to CFC alternatives. Upon successful destruction and verification, CAR issues “Carbon Reserve Tonnes” or CRTs recognizing the emissions of CO2 avoided. The CRTs are traded daily in the “carbon market”.

The House of Representatives passed its version of Climate legislation earlier this year while the Senate is still debating the legislation. If passed, companies would be required to measure and monitor their carbon emissions to reduce them from 2005 levels. Optionally, companies could purchase offset credits (CRTs) to meet reduction targets thereby raising the market value of these CRTs based on supply and demand. Both legislations will allow carbon offset credits to include those earned from the destruction of certain ozone depleting substances such as CFCs. CFCs not only destroy the ozone layer, but they have a very high global warming potential.

Although the Montreal Protocol phases out production, import, and export of ODS, emissions of ODS are not controlled explicitly. In addition, no obligations to destroy ODS exist under either the Montreal Protocol or the Kyoto Protocol, and while many countries, including the U.S., have no-venting regulations, they are not always well enforced. Moreover, current destruction of unwanted ODS is minimal or nonexistent, with the majority of unwanted ODS currently being stored in original equipment (which leads to slow leakage or accidental release), rather than being destroyed. Thus, any ODS that is destroyed is considered a greenhouse gas emission reduction, since, in the absence of destruction, nearly 100 percent of the ODS will eventually be released to the atmosphere.RemTec offers destruction services for ODS that can result in offset credits.
