NEWTOWN, PA and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2022 /Hydrogen Technologies, LLC ("Hydrogen Technologies" or "HT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jericho Energy Ventures Inc.(TSXV:JEV)(OTC PINK:JROOF)(Frankfurt:JLM0) ("Jericho" or "JEV" or the "Company"), expects to play a growing role in Canada's energy transition by providing market-ready, real world, lower carbon solutions to organizations following Canada's most recent Carbon Tax Increase.

On April 1, 2022, the Government of Canada increased the national tax on pollution by an additional 25% (or $10 per tonne) of greenhouse gas emissions, in most provinces. The increase brings the total price in applicable provinces to $50 per tonne, which adds another 2.2 cents to the cost of a litre of gasoline, or 11 cents total. The federal tax applies directly in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with British Columbia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island also raising their provincial carbon taxes to match the new federal rate.

The Canadian government also announced a new emissions-reduction plan which includes $9.1 billion in new spending for climate programs and Ottawa has pledged to reduce emissions 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 while striving to achieve net zero by 2050.

Hydrogen Technologies has made significant progress in the Canadian market with its breakthrough cleanH2steam Dynamic Combustion Chamber™ (DCC™) zero-emission hydrogen boiler, and management anticipates expanded adoption of the DCC™ following the latest carbon tax increase.

In the first quarter of 2022, HT was retained by three multi-national corporations to provide feasibility studies for the utilization of its DCC™ clean steam generation, with four locations of these studies located in Canada. Each study offers the potential to rollout the DCC™ at many more locations across these organizations.

Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho, stated, "With Canada's stated policy to increase the carbon tax by $15 annually going forward until it reaches $170 in 2030, Canadian industrial and commercial companies now must consider significantly reducing hydrocarbon fueled capital expenditures. This presents a potential opportunity for an accelerated adoption of the DCC™ to help companies move to lower, and ultimately end, their carbon emissions."

Jericho believes there is no pathway to net zero anywhere without a robust, efficient, zero-emission boiler. HT's DCC™ is the only zero-emissions, closed-loop hydrogen boiler, which produces clean process steam without generating any air pollutants or emissions and is designed to replace existing boilers that burn coal, natural gas, diesel, or fuel oil, which are estimated to account for over 20 per cent of all global greenhouse gasses emitted each year.¹

About Hydrogen Technologies Hydrogen Technologies (HT) offers its award-winning CLEAN, ZERO-EMISSION ENERGY SOLUTION for the Commercial and Industrial Boiler Market. There are a wide range of applications for our cleanH2steam DCC™ Boiler, which work much like traditional commercial heat, hot water and industrial steam boilers: be it power generation plants, district heating, food processing, chemical refining, pulp and paper mills or large venue halls, HT has a reliable, efficient, and clean solution for your needs.

Markets have well and truly changed direction from last year’s bullish trends. The downward shift has brought us a major selloff, and declines of 27% and more in the tech-heavy NASDAQ index. For investors, it’s a situation that requires a close watch on the markets, and clear eye for the opportunities that will pop out as conditions change. It’s also a situation in which investors can use expert advice. Jim Cramer, the well-known host of CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ program, tells investors that when the

There's no question that many investors are fearful as a result of the stock market's volatility. Here are three stocks that Buffett is betting on big time right now. Chevron (NYSE: CVX) was one of them.

A cryptocurrency crash has already wiped out $600 billion in digital asset market value over the past week. With the declines in crypto outpacing those in stocks, Bitcoin may actually be a bellwether for capitulation among investors—that point when the market can really find a bottom, according to analyst Barry Bannister at Stifel. “We monitor several factors which we believe will mark the capitulatory low for stocks,” Bannister said in a Wednesday note.

Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) popped 11% on Thursday after members of its leadership team said they were purchasing shares.

The slowdown has sparked a wave of selling of Shopify's shares.

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ: RIDE) stock is absolutely crushing the markets today. Lordstown Motors, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, was just thrown a lifeline, and the market now can't seem to keep its hands off the penny stock. Just earlier this week, Lordstown Motors shares crashed after the company warned it may not be able to close its deal with Taiwanese electronics-giant Hon Hai Precision (OTC: HNHPF), better known as Foxconn.

Yesterday, shares of semiconductor specialist Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) got hit on a widespread sell-off of cryptocurrency tokens -- and fears the sell-off would impact demand for Nvidia's graphic processing chips. The sell-off isn't quite as bad as yesterday, but it's still apparently bad enough to be costing Nvidia shares a 3.8% loss in 1:25 p.m. ET trading. Stock investors worry that if the losses don't stop soon, it might drive crypto investors away from the market... which will depress demand for cryptocurrencies... which will depress mining of cryptocurrencies... which will in turn, finally depress demand for Nvidia's graphic processing units, which in recent years have been widely repurposed for use in crypto mining.

Now that a star-crossed deal has closed, new plans are being rolled out to compete with the sector's king.

Big stock market drawdowns like the current one often end with a selling frenzy, called capitulation. “It’s a basket of things, but when they start to pile up, it gives me more confidence,” says Larry McDonald of the Bear Traps Report. While several investor sentiment opinion polls suggest extreme negativity, you don’t see the same signal when you look at what they are actually doing with their money, says Michael Hartnett, Bank of America’s chief of investment strategy.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) fell on Thursday after an analyst slashed his stock price forecast for the auto giant. Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan is worried that legacy automakers like Ford and General Motors (NYSE: GM) will see their earnings fall in the coming years, as they shift more of their production toward electric vehicles (EVs). For Ford specifically, Langan warns that the costs of raw materials needed to build EVs have surged due to supply constraints.
