Global AI in Energy Market to Reach $7.78 Billion by 2024

A report from Research and Markets finds that the global AI in Energy market will grow to $7.78 billion by 2024 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.49 percent in the forecast period 2019-2024. An Expert Quote featured in the report description reads:

"Fleet and asset management is one of the prominent applications of the AI in energy market. The fleet assets at remote locations are difficult to monitor and control. Any failure of assets without prior intimation leads to an increase in operational downtime. Thus, the energy industry is adopting AI technology to monitor and control the fleet assets across the supply chain. The AI-powered hardware components integrated with the AI software ensures efficient operation of oil & gas assets using vibration analytics, thereby ensuring a safe working atmosphere. An AI-enabled fleet and asset monitoring solution using computer vision provides visibility across the functioning of the equipment, which further helps in investigating the asset performance.”

SilverCrest Metals Inc. (NYSE American:SILV) (TSX:SIL) has closed the private placement with SSR Mining Inc. (NasdaqGS:SSRM) previously announced on January 3, 2020. The press release indicates that:

SSR Mining purchased 1,819,074 common shares of the Company at a price of C$7.28 per share for a total investment of C$13,242,859. The common shares have a statutory hold period of four months and one day expiring May 11, 2020.

With the closing of the bought deal public offering (see news release dated December 18, 2019) and exercise by SSR Mining of its equity participation right, SilverCrest is in a robust financial position to advance the high-grade precious metal Las Chispas Project in Sonora, Mexico with C$124 million of cash and no debt.

IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE:IAG) has received approval from the Government of the Republic of Senegal of a mining permit application for the Boto Gold Project lasting for an initial period of 20 years. Gord Stothart, President and COO of IAMGOLD, commented:

“The Boto Gold Project generates impressive returns and margins, and we are very pleased to now be in receipt of the exploitation permit. We thank the Government of Senegal for their ongoing support of this Project. Situated in the highly prospective Boto-Karita-Diakha gold district, the Project is well positioned to benefit from further discoveries. Work is already underway to obtain approvals for the next steps, supporting either a decision to proceed to full construction or further de-risk prior to construction approval."

Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK) has reported “production of 4.0 million silver ounces (oz) and 38,907 gold oz in 2019, for silver equivalent production of 7.1 million oz at an 80:1 silver:gold ratio.” The company’s silver production in Q4, 2019 was “939,511 oz and gold production was 9,578 oz, for silver equivalent production of 1.7 million oz.” Factors such as the suspension of mining operations at the El Cubo mine resulted in Q4, 2019 being lower than Q4, 2018, according to the press release. Bradford Cooke, Endeavour CEO, explained:

“The Company’s performance last year was negatively impacted by operating issues at all four mines. We made sweeping changes to the mining operations in Q2 and Q3 and as a result, we are finally seeing production turning around, led by [the] Guanacevi [project]. Endeavour expects higher production at each of its three mines in 2020.”

Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV:AAX) has announced that the third phase of geophysics is underway on the company's Tabasquena project in Zacatecas, Mexico. The aims of this geophysical survey are to “delineate a new chargeability anomaly, identified on the most southerly of the reconnaissance lines from the second survey” and to “do a long northwest-southeast line cross cutting all of the previous east-west survey lines and by so doing obtain a much deeper penetration to better understand the depth potential of the previously identified chargeability anomaly.” Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp., explained:

"Our previous geophysical surveys have identified a large continuous chargeability anomaly and what appears to be the start of a new anomaly, however this new anomaly can only be seen on one of the most southerly reconnaissance lines. This additional grid to the south of the primary anomaly will extend the grid beyond the last reconnaissance line by approximately 1000 metres and hopefully delineate the new anomaly.”

StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV:SKP) has signed a definitive agreement with Sitka Gold (CSE:SIG) regarding the acquisition by Sitka of 100 percent of StrikePoint's Mahtin property in the Yukon Territory in Canada. StrikePoint CEO Shawn Khunkhun commented:

"The Mahtin transaction will provide StrikePoint with a significant share position in Sitka and a royalty on the Mahtin property. This will provide StrikePoint shareholders with exposure not only to the exploration upside at Mahtin, but to Sitka's entire project portfolio, which include the Burro Creek Gold-Silver Deposit in Arizona, the Alpha Gold Project in Nevada and the RC Gold Property in the Yukon. Sitka's has a strong technical team, good share structure with significant ownership by management and have demonstrated an ability to finance operations."

(OTCQB: $SING) (NASDAQ: $BLDP) (TSX: $BLDP.TO) (NASDAQ: $FCEL) (NASDQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $TAN)- #RenewableEnergy #Stocks Roaring 2020

(OTCQB: $SING) (NASDAQ: $BLDP) (TSX: $BLDP.TO) (NASDAQ: $FCEL) (NASDQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $TAN)- #RenewableEnergy #Stocks Roaring 2020 – How #Solar, #EV and #FuelCell Stocks are Giving Investors Something to SING about

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, January 14, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues a sector snapshot looking at how cleantech may be the sector to watch in 2020. Following on a strong year in 2019, solar stocks, fuel cell stocks and EV stocks are also leading the pack going into 2020.

Read the full article on Investorideas.com featuring solar company, SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and other companies in the sector

https://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/cleantech-climatechange/01141SING-BLDP-FCEL-TSLA-TAN.asp

According to ETF.com’s recent article (Lara Crigger), “It's true that rising Iran-U.S. tensions have caused a spike in energy funds. Astonishingly, however, the best-performing ETF of the past few weeks wasn't an oil or a natural gas fund—but a renewable power one.

“Over the past 30 days, the SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF rose 16.4%, more than any other non-leveraged, non-inverse ETF.”

According to a report and outlook for 2020 by Deloitte, “For the first time ever, in April 2019, renewable energy outpaced coal by providing 23 percent of US power generation, compared to coal’s 20 percent share.¹ In the first half of 2019, wind and solar together accounted for approximately 50 percent of total US renewable electricity generation, displacing hydroelectric power’s dominance.“

2019 saw the global hydrogen fuel sector add more than 1GW of new capacity for the first time, according to a report by energy consultancy E4tech.

According to EEI, there were 18 million ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EV’S) on the road in the U.S.as of March 31, 2019.

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and its solar subsidiary, Direct Solar of America are seeing the strength in the sector first-hand. In a recent update to shareholders, Greg Lambrecht, Founder and Chief Executive Officer said, “The 2020 domestic Solar Market is showing continued signs of riding a new tailwind driven by talks of a New Green Deal. We anticipate that renewables will continue to be an important issue around the country, and plan to focus the majority of our attention on growth in the solar and renewables space.”

He also went on to state. “This year management has set an internal goal to surpass $10,000,000 in gross revenues, primarily by the Company’s subsidiary SinglePoint Direct Solar LLC (“Direct Solar” doing business as Direct Solar of America). 2019 was a great year for SinglePoint in terms of continued fundamental improvement, setting the foundation for anticipated continued growth in 2020 and beyond. The Company achieved some significant milestones this year; it became fully reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, increased annual revenue, and acquired a Fifty One Percent interest in Direct Solar. We will continue to focus on creating shareholder value utilizing an acquisition strategy looking for emerging growth companies that would benefit from exposure and access to capital that a public company can provide.

Direct Solar now has over 60 people deployed across 11 states and 20 cities.

From 2017 to 2018 our gross revenue increased over 344% and is expected to increase to approximately $3,000,000 (Three Million) in 2019 representing our largest annual reported revenue in company history. In 2020 we expect this revenue increase to continue as SinglePoint will benefit from a full operating year of Direct Solar.”

Reflecting the strength of solar stocks, the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE: ARCA: TAN) just recently hit a 52 week high. According to Zack’s Research the move was based on this: “The highest-ever solar installation and the exemption of tariff on one type of solar panels have supported the upside. Moreover, the solar industry has been growing on a rebound in global solar demand, competitive pricing and potential Chinese subsidies. Also, California’s initiative to make solar panels essential to all new homes built in 2020 and beyond is helping the solar industry.“

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) has been on a roar in 2020 as was one the top performers on the TSX in 2019. Ballard zero-emission PEM fuel cells are enabling electrification of mobility, including buses, commercial trucks, trains, marine vessels, passenger cars, forklift trucks and UAVs. According to their presentation, “Fuel cell technology is needed to achieve complete decarbonization of Transportation.”

In recent news, Randy MacEwen, Ballard President and CEO said, “In less than 10 years, it will become cheaper to run a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) than it is to run a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for certain commercial applications.”

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are both holdings in the CNRG SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF, both showing strong performance and showing fuel cell and EV’s are sectors to watch in 2020.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) just announced on January 3^rd “In the fourth quarter, we achieved record production of almost 105,000 vehicles and record deliveries of approximately 112,000 vehicles. In 2019, we delivered approximately 367,500 vehicles, 50% more than the previous year and in line with our full year guidance.”

	Production	Deliveries	Subject to lease accounting
Model S/X	17,933	19,450	14	%
Model 3	86,958	92,550	7	%
Total	104,891	112,000	8	%

“We continue to focus on expanding production in both the US as well as our newly launched facility in Shanghai. Despite breaking ground at Gigafactory Shanghai less than 12 months ago, we have already produced just under 1,000 customer salable cars and have begun deliveries. We have also demonstrated production run-rate capability of greater than 3,000 units per week, excluding local battery pack production which began in late December.”

Deloitte says, “The renewable energy industry is primed to enter a new phase of growth driven largely by increasing customer demand, cost competitiveness, innovation, and collaboration. Companies that are ready to innovate, collaborate, and seize new opportunities will likely thrive in a new phase of renewable growth.”
