Deutsche Bank and NASDAQ OMX Introduce the DB NASDAQ OMX Clean Tech Index

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2010 – DB Climate Change Advisors (DBCCA), the climate change investment and research business of Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management business, and The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) today announced the introduction of the DB NASDAQ OMX® Clean Tech Index (DBCC). The index is an accurate, real-time representation of the global clean technology sector with exposure to clean energy, energy efficiency, transport, waste management and water companies. This is the first clean technology index co-branded by a global exchange company and a global bank.


The index is comprised of 119 companies identified by DBCCA from a global universe of ~4,000, each with at least a third of revenues derived from clean technology within investable geographies and exchanges identified by NASDAQ OMX. Of these, 106 companies have over 50% in clean tech revenues, using only demonstrated revenue from filed financial statements. Constituent companies must have market capitalization of $250 million and over $1 million average daily dollar trading volume. The index is equal-weighted to offer greater exposure to smaller-cap companies.



“Climate change has already, and we believe will continue to deliver as an attractive source of alpha - which is one of the reasons why we saw the need to provide investors with a comprehensive, global and accurate benchmark for the sector,” said Kevin Parker, Global Head of Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management division (DeAM) and a member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee. “Through this collaboration, we are able to offer investors an index that combines the best of DBCCA’s clean tech investment expertise and thought leadership with NASDAQ OMX’s globally trusted index design and calculation services.”



“This index demonstrates the commitment of two global innovators to provide investors greater insight into companies that are driving the clean technology industry,” said NASDAQ OMX Executive Vice President John Jacobs. NASDAQ OMX looks forward to continuing to work with Deutsche Bank. Together, we offer investors a unique combination of trusted leadership, expertise and services.”



In addition to a price return index, a total return version is also calculated (DBCT).



The DB NASDAQ OMX Clean Tech Index is calculated in real-time and commenced calculation today with a value of 1,000.00. The index provides complete transparency about screening methods, selection criteria, securities, and sector mapping.

Energy Commentary - Why Natural Gas: Let's Just Keep Saying It Until Washington Gets the Message

Energy Commentary - Why Natural Gas: Let's Just Keep Saying It Until Washington Gets the Message


By Senior Energy Industry Executive Karl W. Miller

As per previous release and distribution

Energy Commentary by Karl Miller

http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Karl_Miller/
For public interest, senior energy executive and institutional investor Karl W. Miller, today issued the following statement through his advisors regarding consolidation in the U.S. Natural Gas Industry and the "JOBS" the natural gas sector has created and will continue to create.

Washington is clearly challenged on Natural Gas, not because they don't understand it, but because it does not fit in with their pre-determined Agenda. See weblink titled "Why Obama and The Democrats Can't Say "Natural Gas": http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Karl_Miller/news/1283.asp.

As Mr. Miller has opined, you can't ignore the elephant in the room. And we have some big elephants in piling into the Natural Gas room. The major oil companies have "re-discovered" the U.S. Energy markets through natural gas and are on the acquisition trail in a big way. The key point to these acquisitions of natural gas producers by major oil companies is that while they would certainly accept any subsidies provided to the natural gas industry from Washington, they don’t need them to expand the industry.

Lets also get a few fact straight, natural gas is not in a state of permanent excess supply as Mr. Miller has had to correct many ill informed financial analyst and media on multiple occasions. See weblink titled "Why the U.S. Natural Gas Industry is NOT in a State of Permanent Excess Supply" at: http://www.investorideas.com/news/123009a.asp

The major oil companies all have sufficient capital and access to capital to fund their acquisitions, production expansion and most importantly, distribution, whether it be in fueling truck fleets or other uses. Even without any additional acquisitions, "rising tides floats all boats" doctrine is in place in the natural gas industry.

The pipeline companies such as Williams Company, El Paso and Kinder Morgan will toe the line when told to do so and basically construct whatever the oil companies and natural gas producers tell them to, as long as they sign a long term shipping contract to anchor any new expansions.

The public utilities commissions in each state will not get in the way of natural gas, as they are already very comfortable with natural gas as a fuel for the power plants across the U.S. and understand the basics, and have made it clear that they are "not going to approve outrageous rate increases" to pay for loss making wind and solar, on the back of a recession. Washington does not seem to get this message either.

California may be the exception, but when you are broke as a State like they are, Mr. Miller suspects they will backtrack as well, as there is no money to pay for their lofty and unrealistic energy goals, when they already produce 40% of their electricity from Natural Gas. One has to wonder who is driving the bus in California. See weblink titled "U.S. Renewable Energy: A Self-Inflicted Crisis in the Making": www.investorideas.com/News/062909c.asp

Also, lest we all forget, we already have a very comprehensive and established atural gas infrastructure, hundreds of natural gas power plants, most of which are fairly new. And finally, the more renewable energy assets we put on the ground, primarily wind and solar, the more natural gas power plants we need to construct to balance the intermittent and volatile energy output from these renewable assets.

Mr. Miller has opined on multiple occasions that natural gas demand is rising and going to become a much larger part of the overall U.S. Economy, will drive tremendous job growth, "far more than a boutique renewable energy industry", and is the cleanest fuel that the U.S. has access to in reasonable abundance, subject to construction of more pipeline distribution infrastructure throughout the Country.

Mr. Miller has made it crystal clear on multiple occasions to Washington that to ignore these compelling facts in the natural gas industry would not only be foolish, but financially costly to all investors, and as Washington has already seen, dangerous to each and every politicians political career if they fail to listen to the American people, starting with major housecleaning in the November 2010 elections. See weblink titled "Win, Lose or Draw in Massachusetts Senate Race, Washington Needs to Focus on America and Start Solving the Housing and Energy Policy Issues Now": http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Karl_Miller/news/1201.asp

The American people don't want nuclear, don't want massive utility bill rate increases, and don't want to fund any additional loss making business ventures, and we certainly don't want to try and change our constitutional structure by decree of any one political party.

Balance, logic, and common sense will rule, but we may have to clean house in the November elections to get to that point.

Mr. Miller provides these words of wisdom for all sides to consider from his twenty plus years in the financial and energy industry and the trenches, "fear not the messenger, but fear who he represents". Mr. Miller represents the American people in this matter and they are pissed off to put it politely.

Disclosure: Mr. Miller is an independent and a capitalist, and is not affiliated with any political party.

All content is the opinion of Karl Miller. Mr. Miller is not compensated for the creation of the published content.

Content found in the articles is subject to the terms found in the InvestorIdeas.com disclaimer and does not represent a recommendation of investment advice. Investors should seek the advice of a qualified investment professional prior to making any investment decisions.

Green Funding News -Green Plug Announces Series B Investment

Green Plug Announces Series B Investment

In Its Environmentally-Friendly DC Power Technology



Investment Bolsters Emerging Consumer Electronics Standard,

Will Hasten Market Adoption of Digital Power Protocol

SAN RAMON, CALIF. (February 3, 2010) – Green Plug (www.greenplug.us), the first developer of digital technology enabling collaboration between electronic devices and their power sources, today announced that it has closed a Series B investment led by Herald Investments UK, Killik & Co. and Peninsula Venture Partners. While the amount of the investment was not disclosed, the Series B pre-money valuation is higher than the company’s Series A round, announced in January 2008.

Green Plug will apply the investment proceeds to effectively deliver its solution and expand customer engagements for its Greentalk™ digital power protocol and Greenwire™ multi-function physical layer technologies.

The funding announcement comes on the heels of a recently announced agreement with Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE:IMG - www.imgtec.com), which will help to deliver both a zero increase in bill-of-materials costs and dramatically reduce time-to-market for Green Plug-enabled devices. Imagination, a leading provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) intellectual property (IP), is a strategic partner and shareholder, which has entered into a partnership with Green Plug that will enable it to use the market-leading real-time processing capabilities of Imagination's META™ processor for the next generation of Green Plug Power Processor TM technology for power supplies. Imagination will additionally be offering a soft IP core, allowing semiconductor and OEM companies to easily implement Green Plug client functionality for integration in future consumer electronics SoCs and devices.

PURE (www.pure.com), a world leader in digital radio and a division of Imagination Technologies, has also announced plans to enable Green Plug functionality in select radio products and is poised to introduce a smart power adapter accessory.

“With this new investment round, look for Green Plug to become native within power management and other controller chips, making it even easier for consumer electronics vendors to turn-on Greentalk in their products,” said Frank Paniagua, Jr., Green Plug CEO. “Our smart power protocol is exactly what CE products need to be completely efficient while addressing the e-waste crisis.

“We’re more committed than ever to fixing the ‘broken power model,’” Paniagua said. “More than two billion external power supplies were designed, manufactured and shipped last year alone, and that’s simply unacceptable – that’s waste the planet can’t afford, and that our solution helps to eliminate.”

The initial step in transforming from dumb power adapters into smart power solutions is to enable electronic products to communicate over the power connector. While thousands of consumers have voiced their preference for more convenient, reusable power adapters on www.iwantmygreenplug.com, the perception that doing so would entail added cost in what was a difficult year for CE product vendors proved an impediment to rapid adoption. Now, with the simpler “enablement” process that the Green Plug/Imagination partnership makes possible for many products, this impediment has been removed.

Using the new technology, any device can communicate with Green Plug-enabled power supplies directly over the power cable or through wireless transmission to the device, in many cases without adding any extra components. Consumers will have the option of using the free, vendor-provided power adapter or of purchasing a power accessory that will work with all Green Plug-enabled CE products and can be configured to simultaneously power 2, 4, 8 or more products, each with unique power requirements.

Green Plug is the first green technology company to apply two-way digital communication to convert power from a universal power source to a device’s specific power requirements. The Greentalk power protocol enables devices to collaborate with power supplies to dynamically monitor and control them, minimizing power consumption under different operating conditions. Highly efficient, stylish DC power hubs enabled with Green Plug’s Green Power Processor (GPP) chip are able to simultaneously power multiple devices, each with its own specific voltage and power requirements. Green Plug technology also minimizes solid waste by allowing consumers to keep these smart power adapters and battery chargers for use with future devices long after their current devices have become obsolete.

Armando Castro, Partner at Reed Smith, leads the company’s counsel.

Green IPO Watch at Renewableenergystocks.com Reports on Tesla Motors $100 Million IPO

News & Stories Published at Clean Energy Stocks Blog.


Green IPO Watch at Renewableenergystocks.com Reports on Tesla Motors $100 Million IPO

Electric Car Maker Files S1 Registration


POINT ROBERTS, WA – February 1, 2010 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within www.Investorideas.com,
reports Tesla Motors, Inc has filed an S1 Registration on January 29th with the SEC for a $100 Million IPO.

Underwriters include Goldman, Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank Securities.

Tesla Motors, based in Palo Alto, California, designs, manufactures and sells high-performance fully electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components.

According to the filing , the company as of December 31, 2009 had sold 937 Tesla Roadsters to customers in 18 countries.

The company reports in the filing,” The Tesla Roadster, our first vehicle, showcases our technology and illustrates our leadership in electric vehicle innovation. Introduced in 2008, the Tesla Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, but produces zero tailpipe emissions. The Tesla Roadster has a battery pack capable of storing approximately 53 kilowatt-hours of usable energy, almost double the energy of any other commercially available electric vehicle battery pack. The Tesla Roadster has a range of 236 miles on a single charge, as determined by an independent third party using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s, or EPA’s, combined two-cycle city/highway test. Recently, the EPA announced its intention to develop and establish new energy efficiency testing methodologies for electric vehicles, which we believe could result in a significant decrease to the advertised ranges of all electric vehicles, including ours. The Tesla Roadster reportedly set a new world distance record of 313 miles for a production electric car in a rally across Australia as part of the 2009 Global Green Challenge. To date, our customers have driven their Tesla Roadsters an estimated 3.0 million miles.”

More from the filing:
Automotive Sales

“To date, most of our revenues have been generated through sales in the United States. We had no revenues from sales outside of the United States prior to the third quarter of 2009 and revenue from sales outside of the United States represented 14% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our international sales commenced with the launch of the Tesla Roadster in Europe in July 2009.

Automotive sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $0.6 million were derived primarily from the sale of ZEV credits. ZEV credit sales increased from $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Although we did not recognize revenue from the sale of Tesla Roadsters during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated ZEV credits from the delivery of vehicles during such period which we sold to a third party automobile manufacturer. As sales of the Tesla Roadster increased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, sales of ZEV credits also increased.

Substantially all of the increase in automotive sales to $93.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to sales of the Tesla Roadster. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, we recognized revenue related to the sale of 706 Tesla Roadsters. A significant portion of the revenue recognized during this period came from fulfilling reservations placed prior to 2009.”

Secretary Chu Announces Closing of $1.4 Billion Loan to Nissan -to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility

News & Stories Published at Clean Energy Stocks Blog

Secretary Chu Announces Closing of $1.4 Billion Loan to Nissan -to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility

Project expected to provide up to 1,300 Jobs in Tennessee


Washington D.C. --- U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced today that the Department of Energy has closed its $1.4 billion loan agreement with Nissan North America, Inc. to retool their Smyrna, Tennessee factory to build advanced electric automobiles and an advanced battery manufacturing facility. The two projects are expected to create up to 1,300 American jobs and conserve up to 65.4 million gallons of gasoline per year – an amount equal to six times the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989.

“This is an investment in our clean energy future. It will bring the United States closer to reducing our dependence on foreign oil and help lower carbon pollution,” said Secretary Chu. “We are committed to making strides to revitalize the American auto industry and supporting the development of clean energy vehicles.”
Nissan plans to use the proceeds from the loan to produce its all-electric vehicle, the LEAF, at its existing Smyrna, Tennessee plant. Nissan will offer electric vehicles to fleet and retail customers, and plans to ramp up production capacity in Smyrna up to 150,000 vehicles annually.
Nissan is pursuing a global strategy of transitioning to electric vehicles. Building a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Smyrna, to produce 200,000 battery packs annually, is a significant part of that strategy. Nissan is also laying the groundwork in developing an infrastructure in the US to support electric vehicles. The company has formed partnerships with states, counties, municipalities, and electric utilities to prepare markets for the introduction of electric vehicles including the installation of charging stations.
Today’s announcement marks the third loan arrangement agreement signed by DOE with an advanced technology vehicle manufacturer. In September 2009, DOE signed its first loan agreement for $5.9 billion to Ford Motor Company. Last week, DOE also signed a $465 million loan agreement with Tesla Motors, which will be used to build manufacturing facilities in California for electric power-trains and Tesla's Model S electric sedan. The Department has also signed a conditional commitment with Fisker Automotive to build plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Tenneco, Inc. became the first advanced technology component manufacturer to obtain a conditional commitment from DOE in October of last year.
The Department was provided $7.5 billion for credit subsidy costs by Congress to cover up to $25 billion in direct loans to companies making cars and components in US factories that increase fuel economy at least 25 percent above 2005 fuel economy levels.
The agreement was negotiated and signed through the Department’s Loan Programs Office, which supports the development of innovative, advanced vehicle technologies to create thousands of clean energy jobs while helping reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

Governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island Invest in Renewable Energy on the Farm

NEW LONDON, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND--- Jan. 30, 2010 - The Governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island are partnering to help farmers reduce energy costs and generate new income opportunities through renewable fuels.

This investment of $9.9 million will support two projects that will help to improve farmers' profitability, improve environmental sustainability of Canadian agriculture and help drive the Canadian economy.

"Farmers have always been good stewards of the land and they know that investing in the environment is key to their future success," said Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea. "Canada's Economic Action Plan is boosting our economic recovery by helping farmers find new markets, adapt to current economic challenges and make their businesses more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable."

The federal investment under the AgriFlexibility fund, part of Canada's Economic Action Plan, totals $5.9 million for two new projects:- $4.2 million for the Renewable Energy Initiative, that will audit and promote the use of agriculture-based renewable energy sources and equipment; - $1.7 million for the BioEconomy Crop Initiative, that will evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of crops such as fall rye, perennial grasses and hybrid willows to plant and harvest for energy generation; "Energy represents a significant cost for producers, and we are pleased to partner with the federal government and the industry to help address this issue," said Prince Edward Island Agriculture Minister George Webster.


"Through these new initiatives, producers will be able to reduce their costs, develop new markets and benefit the environment. This initiative is part of the provincial government's Rural Action Plan which supports new and innovative energy projects to improve the competitiveness of the agriculture industry."The province is investing $2.8 million in the Renewable Energy Initiative and $1.2 million in the BioEconomy Crop Initiative. Funding is subject to the projects meeting all eligibility requirements and the signing of contribution agreements.Canada's Economic Action Plan will remain focused on strengthening the economy, while working towards returning to balanced budgets and securing Canada's economic future.

SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on Disclosure Related to Business or Legal Developments Regarding Climate Change

SEC Issues Interpretive Guidance on Disclosure Related to Business or Legal Developments Regarding Climate Change


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
www.sec.gov
Text of Chairman's Statement Washington, D.C., Jan. 27, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted to provide public companies with interpretive guidance on existing SEC disclosure requirements as they apply to business or legal developments relating to the issue of climate change.

Federal securities laws and SEC regulations require certain disclosures by public companies for the benefit of investors. Occasionally, to assist those who provide such disclosures, the Commission provides guidance on how to interpret the disclosure rules on topics of interest to the business and investment communities. The Commission's interpretive releases do not create new legal requirements nor modify existing ones, but are intended to provide clarity and enhance consistency for public companies and their investors.

The interpretive release approved today provides guidance on certain existing disclosure rules that may require a company to disclose the impact that business or legal developments related to climate change may have on its business. The relevant rules cover a company's risk factors, business description, legal proceedings, and management discussion and analysis.

"We are not opining on whether the world's climate is changing, at what pace it might be changing, or due to what causes. Nothing that the Commission does today should be construed as weighing in on those topics," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro. "Today's guidance will help to ensure that our disclosure rules are consistently applied."

Specifically, the SEC's interpretative guidance highlights the following areas as examples of where climate change may trigger disclosure requirements:

Impact of Legislation and Regulation: When assessing potential disclosure obligations, a company should consider whether the impact of certain existing laws and regulations regarding climate change is material. In certain circumstances, a company should also evaluate the potential impact of pending legislation and regulation related to this topic.

Impact of International Accords: A company should consider, and disclose when material, the risks or effects on its business of international accords and treaties relating to climate change.

Indirect Consequences of Regulation or Business Trends: Legal, technological, political and scientific developments regarding climate change may create new opportunities or risks for companies. For instance, a company may face decreased demand for goods that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions or increased demand for goods that result in lower emissions than competing products. As such, a company should consider, for disclosure purposes, the actual or potential indirect consequences it may face due to climate change related regulatory or business trends.

Physical Impacts of Climate Change: Companies should also evaluate for disclosure purposes the actual and potential material impacts of environmental matters on their business.


The SEC's interpretive release will be posted on the SEC Web site as soon as possible. www.sec.gov

Deutsche Bank and Masdar Launch Private Equity Fund Dedicated to Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy with a $265 Million First Close

Deutsche Bank and Masdar Launch Private Equity Fund Dedicated to Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy with a $265 Million First Close


ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates January 18 2010--Masdar and Deutsche Bank today announced the launch of the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund and its first closing, raising $265 million. This fund brings together for the first time the deep sector knowledge and scope of the Masdar Initiatives with the global asset management and research capabilities of Deutsche Bank.

“In these challenging economic times, the size of this first close and quality of participants demonstrates a profound confidence in climate change investing and in the joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team”
Co-managed by Masdar Venture Capital1 and DB Climate Change Advisors (DBCCA), the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund seeks to build a diversified venture capital and private equity portfolio that will include some of the world’s most promising and pioneering clean tech and renewable energy companies. The Fund will invest primarily in expansion and later stage companies in the clean energy (power generation, storage), environmental resources (water, waste management) and energy and material efficiency (advanced materials, building and power grid efficiency, enabling technologies) sectors.

“Completing first close on the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund is a clear statement of intent,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Masdar’s CEO. “We understand both the financial and social value of companies that are tackling global environmental challenges; we are committed to supporting them by providing capital investment and management expertise.”

“We look forward to this unique fund building a portfolio containing best-in-class companies which will benefit greatly from access to the scope of the Masdar Initiatives and the global reach of Deutsche Bank, the leading global financial institution in this space,” he added.

The Fund has attracted investment from some of world’s leading organisations concerned with climate change issues. The initial investor group is led by Siemens and includes the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Japan Oil Development Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of INPEX CORPORATION, Nippon Oil Corporation, Development Bank of Japan and GE.

“In these challenging economic times, the size of this first close and quality of participants demonstrates a profound confidence in climate change investing and in the joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team,” said Kevin Parker, Global Head of Deutsche Asset Management (DeAM) and member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee.

“Siemens is very happy to be the lead investor in the DB Masdar Clean Tech Fund,” said Joachim Kundt, CEO of Siemens in the Lower Gulf region. “Our active involvement for the second time in a fund associated with Masdar demonstrates our ongoing commitment to clean technology, and we look forward to continuing our work with the Masdar Initiative and building on our already strong relationship with Deutsche Bank.”

The joint DBCCA and Masdar investment team is based in Abu Dhabi, New York and London and combines a wide range of experience in clean tech and private equity investing within the renewable energy industry.

The Fund’s co-managers are actively identifying and evaluating potential investment opportunities globally and expect to complete a number of investments over the next year. In addition to the considerable financial resources of the Fund, portfolio companies will benefit from the added value that comes through association with the Fund’s influential sponsors, co-managers and investors.
