Dear Readers,
Welcome to the August 2020 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter! |
We hope everyone is taking care at this time with the
COVID-19 pandemic. Funding Strategies has a number of programs where we are assisting clients through this period
and have a COVID-19 support package and funding options including debt and equity.
One of the lessons at this time is to seek timely assistance in your finance or
funding needs as the market has changed since COVID-19.
The markets and
business environment has been improving over the last two months, and both
business and consumer confidence are significantly higher (off the April
lows).
While this is the case, we expect the business environment to
continue to be dynamic and as such businesses need to be nimble, maximise
revenues / cash and be focused around execution.
If we can assist with
your business transformation or you just need someone to talk to please contact the team. |
This edition of our newsletter includes: |

Introducing Project Ignis
Producing Gas from Multiple Waste Types
Project Ignis is an Australian waste to energy company that has developed the Moving Injection Horizontal Gasification (MIHG) process for producing high value renewable energy products from waste materials that were previously destined for landfill.
The synthesis gas (“syngas”) produced by the MIHG process can be used to make electricity, hydrogen, biofuels and other fuels / chemicals. |
|
|
|
The MIHG process applies proven gasification techniques with a new reactor configuration that eliminates the need for extensive feedstock pre-treatment and thereby enables smaller scale energy from waste projects to be economically viable. Project Ignis owns the MIHG technology and has established a pilot plant in Brisbane where the Company has been carrying out R&D and proof of concept operations.
Project Ignis is currently developing its first commercial project and has negotiated key terms for site access, waste feedstock supply and services with a private waste company. It has also secured government grant funding. The Company is actively developing a pipeline of commercial projects and is working towards entering the renewable hydrogen market, having already signed an MOU with a major gas infrastructure group that is interested in buying hydrogen.
The energy from waste market is destined to grow by more than $12B over the next five years as Governments support increased recycling and reducing waste sent to landfill as well as the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Project Ignis' directors believe the Company is well placed to capture the growth in this market and the desire for modular solutions with the flexibility to produce electricity and hydrogen. |

Guarda update
Video views indicate unmet need on silicia dust issue |
|
|
|
"Have you ever seen masonry cutting so clean? No dust, no slurry & no fumes. Using our patented Tri-Vac Technology, water is injected inside the blade guard where it mixes with the dust and creates a slurry. This slurry is then vacuumed away before it escapes the guard. Exhaust fumes are also removed down the same hose. |
|
Safer, cleaner cutting compared to dry-vacuum saws which still produce a lot of silica dust and conventional wet cutting which creates huge amounts of slurry. This is an example of our wall chasing saw. We also have the same technology on a larger concrete cutting saw, the Guarda Edge Powercutter."
Guarda's Managing Director, Craig Penty, states "This has over 55,000 views now. I'm being inundated with requests for product info to the point where I can't keep up with them. Shows how much of an unmet need the silica dust issue is." |

"Medcan Australia (Medcan) is pleased to announce the receipt of its first cannabis cultivation permits from the ODC (Office of Drug Control).
This is by far Medcan’s most significant milestone to date and positions Medcan as one of only a few Australian licensed companies authorized to actually commence cultivation. |

|
Medcan will now commence their cultivation program and are targeting the end of August 2020 to propagate their first seeds." |

The Brisbane team visits Byron Bay
|
|
|
|
While the border situation allowed, some of BlueMount Capital's Brisbane based team members were lucky to recently visited Byron Bay. After initially attending meetings, the team visited the most eastern point of Australia near the Byron Bay lighthouse, spotting whales and dolphins from the walkway on a windy cool day.
