Clean Energy and Water Series; Q&A Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners

Point Roberts, WA - December 5, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a Q&A interview with Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P. (www.ngpgap.com). NGP Global Adaptation Partners currently invests in water resources and services and food and agriculture.
Q: Investorideas.com
Jud, your recently spoke and acted as a moderator at the Water 2.0 Investment Summit Toronto, Canada on November 9, 2011. The theme for your discussion was Resource Recovery - Poised for Investment; can you give us some key points you walked away with?
A: Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P.
Simply said, water that has historically been labeled "waste water" is a misnomer. Many wastewater volumes contain numerous constituents that now are cost effectively recovered,. These compounds include nitrogen , phosphates and trace elements which can be recovered and reused.. Not only can these compounds be reused, removing them from the water prior to discharge can dramatically reduce environmental harm in the receiving streams. Such as eutrophication (explosion of plant growth) as well as anoxia or dead zones which occurs when these plants dye and consume all the available oxygen in the water killing fish and other aquatic life. This is particularly relevant regarding areas called CAFOS, centralizes animal feeding operations, such as those operated by large chicken and pork producers.
Also with the price of energy continuing to rise, the sludge or biological byproducts from waste water treatment operations has become a very valuable resource. In many cases, the inherent btu values of these sludges can be directly converted to energy (biogas) or further processed into usable fertilizers.
In general, it is important to note that this resource recovery sector is not waiting for technology innovation to catch up (most are proven and ready to go) it is more a function that the demand drivers caused by appropriate regulation and the economic returns garnered by recovering these valued commodities
Q: Investorideas.com
You had told me recently your firm was looking at investment in companies in frac water treatment. Can you tell us the kind of companies and technologies you are seeing?
A: Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P.
The frac water sourcing/treatment/recycle and disposal services sector is undergoing explosive growth throughout the United States and Canada. That said every gas or oil shale formation has different water issues. For example, sourcing fresh frac water is becoming a challenge in the Southwest such as in the Eagle Ford formation with salt water ejection wells which are used for final disposal of used frac waters are rather prolific...whereas in the Northeast such as in the Marcellus formation, fresh water is readily available, however due to different geology, disposal thru deep salt water injection wells is not feasible.
With such significant volumes of water now being utilized.(estimated 5 million gallons per frac) many operators are beginning to deploy numerous treatment and recycling solutions to reuse frac waters for follow on frac drilling operations. Numerous technologies or treatment trains are being deployed ranging from electro coagulation, reverse osmosis, ozonation, dissolved air flotation and crystallization. Simply said there is no "silver bullet" to solve the treatment issue. The successful water services providers are finding that recognizing the range of water qualities they are seeing in the field that more of a "tool box" approach is necessary…sing the right set of treatment solutions that are directly applicable to a specific frac water quality. Frac water can vary greatly as a function of total dissolved solids (TDS), biological and trace metal constituents. In essence the successful service providers will be those that understand that price, efficacy and reliability will be the determining metrics for their drilling customers.
These solutions may also change depending on the near term treatment of "flow back" water which is generated while the well is being developed vs. the longer, multi year, water production, "produced water" that flows during the life of the well.
There will also be participates in the frac water value chain that will focus on water movement logistics (trucking and or pipelines), both onsite and offsite (regional) frac water treatment operations as well as final disposal options thru deep salt water injection wells.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you give investors some of the publicly traded stocks in this space?
A: Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P.
There are very few public companies that have a particular focus in the frac water treatment area. A few example public micro cap companies include, Green Hunter, Abtech and Sionex. Some of the larger players that participate in the frac water treatment space include, GE, Veolia, Halliburton, Heckman Water and Danaher
Q: Investorideas.com
Some of the commentary on this growing sector compares the demand to the gold rush of the water industry. Is it all regulatory driven or is the energy industry looking for water treatment solutions based on their own environmental agendas?
A: Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P
Ever evolving regulations will be a key underpinning for the viability of the water industry, just has it has been since the passage of the Clean Water Act in the 1970s. Generally speaking, regulations always continue to be more stringent. Regarding the energy industry, I think it's fair to say that essentially all responsible energy companies are being proactive in applying effective water management solutions. In most cases energy companies find that being a good steward of the environment is also good economics. For example, establishing effective ways to recycle frac water is in most cases a lot cheaper than "hauling in" and hauling out" large volumes of water and it is also better for the environment let alone reduced wear and tear on public roads…many of which are rural.
A recent example of increasing regulation was initiated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PADER). The PADER recently ruled that frac water can no longer be discharged to public owned treatment operations (POTW's) causing all Pennsylvania frac water to be treated/recycled on site or trucked to Ohio for deep well injection…a much more expensive proposition.
Q: Investorideas.com
What do you see as the main points to pay attention to in the water sector for 2012?
A : Jud Hill, Managing Director of NGP Global Adaptation Partners, L.P.
I think we will continue to see a consistent move forward recognizing that water is no longer a "free good" but a valued commodity. Albeit the current "price" of water to all consumers is still extremely cheap relative to its value, we will continue to see the price of water increase as appropriate and proven solutions are more broadly implemented to recycle and reuse water.
It's always useful to remember the old quote from Ben Franklin, "We will know the value of water when the well runs dry"

How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century

How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century

What’s Driving Magnesium Markets of the Future? Lighter Cars and Magnesium Batteries on the Roads of the Future


POINT ROBERTS, November 30, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on the future demands for magnesium with the green auto sector and how magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) plays a key role with the “ green metal of the 21st Century”.

China currently controls 80- 85 percent of the global magnesium market and China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is one of the largest suppliers of pure magnesium in the world.

Recent short term global demand is down due to concerns over the debt crisis in the eurozone but domestic demand in China remains strong. Global demand can turn again as economies stabilize and new uses and applications also drive the overall market for magnesium.

According to a recent Forbes article “Fuel economy mandates will spur the development of lighter cars with materials like aluminum, magnesium and composites. EVs and hybrid vehicles will use materials such as lithium and rare earth metals like neodymium and lanthanum.”

But that may be changing as well and magnesium may be added to the mix in the battery market.

Pellion Technologies, funded by Khosla Ventures, is launching the world's first commercial magnesium battery. Pellion is developing a rechargeable magnesium-ion battery for electric and hybrid-electric vehicle applications

China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is currently expanding the magnesium segment of it business, focusing operations on the management of facilities previously owned or controlled by Yulee Huang, a member of China Direct Industries’ board of directors and its executive vice president - magnesium.

“We currently operate four magnesium facilities in China within our Magnesium segment that produce and/or distribute magnesium products such as pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powders, granules and alloys. The current annual production capacity within our Magnesium segment is approximately 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder. Our goal is to consolidate the fragmented industry and emerge as a global leader in the production and distribution of pure magnesium and magnesium related products.”

Benefits of Magnesium;

Stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum

33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, and 75%
lighter than steel

*Magnesium is known as the green metal of the 21st century

Auto Industry and Magnesium;
(China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) PowerPoint
http://www.investorideas.com/CO/CDII/CDII-PPT-Oct%202011.pdf)


Auto industry is the greatest end user of magnesium specifically
magnesium alloying and die-casting

US Energy Law requires average fleet to increase MPG to 35 by
2020

EU Emissions Law requires automakers to cut CO2 emissions to 130
g/km by 2012 and 95 g/km by 2020

Automakers are looking to magnesium to reduce the weight of the
vehicle, increase MPG and reduce CO2; a 10% reduction in vehicle
weight leads to an estimated 6-8% savings in fuel consumption

Worldwide motor vehicle production at a rate of 77.6 million vehicles
in 2010 represents substantial potential market for magnesium and
its alloys

Green Energy Stock Alert; Magnolia Solar (OTCBB: MGLT) Receives $750,000 Phase II Award from US Air Force Research Laboratory

WOBURN, MA and ALBANY, NY - November 30 2011 (Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire) Magnolia Solar Corporation (OTCBB: MGLT) (“Magnolia”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnolia Solar, Inc., recently received a $750,000 Phase II award from the United States Air Force Research Laboratory as part of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The award will fund a two-year project to develop flexible, lightweight, ultra-high efficiency multi-junction solar cells for space power applications.

Recently Magnolia announced demonstration of several significant milestones and this award provides a pathway to support its ultimate goal of developing low-cost, high-efficiency, thin-film solar cells for commercial and defense requirements.
Dr. Ashok K. Sood, President and CEO of Magnolia Solar Corporation, stated, "Photovoltaic devices can provide a mobile source of electrical power for a variety of military applications in space and terrestrial environments. Many of these applications can directly benefit from enhancements in the efficiency of the photovoltaic devices. In particular, flexible, lightweight, high-efficiency solar cells are needed to maximize the power-generating capability of space, ground-based, and air-based defense applications. The patent-pending technology developed during this program is expected to have immediate market opportunities for defense applications . We look forward to continuing our partnerships with MicroLink Devices and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during this Phase II program.”
Dr. Roger E. Welser, Magnolia's Chief Technical Officer, observed, "Current approaches to increase the efficiency of multi-junction structures typically used for space power generation are reaching practical limitations due to fundamental constraints in conventional multi-junction device design. By combining wide and narrow bandgap material within each p-n junction, quantum-structured solar cells can overcome these constraints and increase the current and the voltage output of each subcell within a multi-junction solar cell. The Phase I effort leveraged the epitaxial liftoff process developed at MicroLink Devices in Niles, IL, and has demonstrated the validity of Magnolia's extended heterojunction photovoltaic device concept. Ultimately our approach provides a pathway for obtaining thin, flexible, multi-junction solar cells with efficiency approaching 40%.”

Frac Water Treatment : Q&A Interview with GreenHunter Water LLC (AMEX:GRH)

Point Roberts, WA - November 23, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a recent Q&A interview with GreenHunter Water LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc (AMEX: GRH). Jonathan D. Hoopes, President & COO discusses how their products and services will play a key role in providing water, environmental and regulatory solutions for shale producers.
Q: Investorideas.com
GreenHunter Water, LLC, your wholly owned subsidiary, recently announced a contract for the Eagle Ford Shale drilling area. Can you tell us the scope of the contract and the direct use for your technology?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
This contract is a long term agreement to provide frac tanks and other equipment typically rented for hydraulic fracturing operations. Due to difficulties in obtaining equipment when it is needed, the operator desired to enter into a long term contract to secure the items that are necessary to ensure smooth logistics and operational efficiency and prevent delays in their drilling program.
Q: Investorideas.com
With increasing regulation and pressure for the oil and gas industry to deal with frac water, how do you see your company rolling out your technology?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
We anticipate an increase in demand for GreenHunter Water's Total Water Management Solutions™ as the perceived and real need to reuse water increases. The technologies that we deploy have been in a development phase for many years and there are several viable technology platforms that we have identified for use with multiple drilling areas.
Q: Investorideas.com
What differentiates your technology in the marketplace?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
GreenHunter Water's water treatment technology is designed to be highly adaptable. Because the oilfield is an industry with many unforeseen variables, adaptability is a key ingredient for success. For example, flowback from a single shale play can be, and often is, strikingly different from well to well and even a single producer may be faced with highly divergent needs. In cases where the water is similar, logistical needs may differ due to geography, limitations in infrastructure, labor shortages and urgent time tables.
Accordingly, GreenHunter Water uses a technology-agnostic approach to oilfield water treatment. When we provide our Frac-Cycle™ water treatment service, we do so in a consultative and collaborative approach with our clients after gaining an understanding of their specific needs and objectives.
Q: Investorideas.com
As GreenHunter Water builds out its salt water disposal and water treatment technologies, what other applications do you see moving forward?
A: Jonathan D. Hoopes; President & COO
We are working with E&P (exploration and production) companies on multiple RFPs (requests for proposals). These include improved logistics, hauling and water transfer contracts, temporary modular storage and frac tank rental agreements, RAMCAT™ (Remote Access Monitoring and Compliance Asset Tracking) cradle-to-grave tracking solutions, condensate drip gas reclamation and marketing and turnkey salt water disposal management agreements. We believe our multi-pronged approach is the right way to penetrate the market and we expect to see significant business growth in 2012.
GreenHunter Water LLC ( AMEX:GRH) is a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. which provides Total Water Management Solutions(TM) in the oilfield. An understanding that there is no single solution to E&P fluids management shapes GreenHunter's technology-agnostic approach to services. In addition to licensing of and joint ventures with manufacturers of mobile water treatment systems, GreenHunter Water is expanding capacity of salt water disposal, temporary above-ground storage, hauling and fresh water logistics services - including 21st Century tracking technologies that allow Shale producers to optimize the efficiency of their water resource management and planning while complying with emerging regulations.

Frac Water Treatment: Water Stocks to Watch: (OTCBB:ABHD), (OTCBB:ESPH), (GRH), (OTCBB:WSCE)

Point Roberts, WA - November 22, 2011 � Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a snapshot of four water stocks with technologies that are being used in the energy sector for remediation of produced and or frac water.
As new rules and regulations governing the oil and gas industry are introduced , the treatment of frac water and produced water create a problem for the energy industry but a booming business opportunity for the water companies with technologies that provide solutions .
As the Wall Street Journal recently stated, "The growing volume of dirty water produced in shale-gas drilling has triggered a gold rush among water-treatment companies."
AbTech Holdings, Inc.(OTCBB: ABHD) announced last week the successful completion of field testing of its Smart Sponge® Mixed Media Contactor ("Contactor") to treat produced water at a Wyoming natural gas exploration and production site. The AbTech Contactors were designed to remove the hydrocarbons present in the produced water in order to protect and thereby substantially increase the useful life of downstream treatment equipment and technologies including a reverse osmosis system. The Smart Sponge Mixed Media Contactors removed 99.99% of the free oil and dissolved phase hydrocarbons (BTEX). Field testing and data collection was done under rigorous conditions throughout the fall of 2011.
Ecosphere Technologies, Inc (OTCBB:ESPH) announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Ecosphere Energy Services, LLC has treated approximately 1.095 billion gallons of frac water since 2008 for major energy exploration and production companies to eliminate chemicals and preserve vital water resources.
GreenHunter Water, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GRH), announced earlier this month that it has secured a significant new order to provide equipment rental and services which include thirty (30) new frac storage tanks to an independent oil and gas operator active in the Eagle Ford Shale drilling region of South Texas. Delivery of the new frac tanks was completed approximately one week ago. The initial one year contract includes rental and management of multiple sized fluid tanks, including 500 BBL water storage tanks, manifolds and other services. This new customer is also exploring other business opportunities offered by GreenHunter's Total Water Management Solutions™. These include water treatment and reuse of "clean brine", RAMCAT™ remote access monitoring equipment, water hauling and commercial salt water disposal, and advanced logistics optimization.
Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB:WSCE) is focused on applications for environmental remediation, metering and measurement, oil and gas field intelligence solutions, and solutions for unconventional oil and gas. The company's technology has been field tested for produced water but has frac water applications as well . H2Omaxx utilizes proprietary next generation aeration technology to clean and separate oil and solids from water. It has been proven to be safe, effective, economical and an environmentally-friendly process. Independent test results have shown the H20maxx technology will reduce the oil content in oil well produced water to less than 10 parts per million without the use of chemicals, filters or heat.

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase (OTC.BB:XDSL) Explains Key Technology Features of Smart Surface Technology

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - November 22, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: XDSL.OB) has developed a technology that exploits the phenomenon of electrowetting or the ability to electronically manipulate the way liquids behave when in contact with a solid or porous surface. Liquids such as water will bead up on a surface that is superhydrophobic, but can be made to move or spread out by electrowetting. The same is true for an organic liquid if the surface is superlyophobic.
mPhase is pursuing this emerging technology, which is now being actively researched at a number of universities who are publicizing their work on electrowetting, superhydrophobicity and superlyophobicity.
The technology is being used to create so-called "smart" structures on metal, ceramic, polymer surfaces and other advanced materials that can resist getting dirty, fogging up, or forming ice. They also can be used for displays, lenses and other applications.
To date mPhase has been concentrating on smart battery applications by exploiting this same electrowetting phenomenon in their Smart NanoBattery by manipulating the liquid electrolyte via a proprietary porous silicon structure shown in Figure 1.
The breakthrough has enabled a unique reserve-style battery architecture that has proven adaptable to a wide range of chemistries, with the initial development based on zinc manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2) chemistries, similar to the typical alkaline battery used in a flashlight or TV remote control, as well as development focused on higher-energy density, lithium manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2), chemistries found in laptops, cell phones and digital cameras. Future applications that can be implemented within the same architecture include rechargeable batteries based on lithium-based chemistries.
These correlate to first launching and proving out the technology for a reserve battery, then a primary cell with the Zn/MnO2 or Li/MnO2 chemistries, and later a secondary (rechargeable) battery.
At that point, if completed the family of mPhase Batteries will be (reserve, primary and secondary) potentially serving a wide range of applications.
About mPhase Technologies, Inc.
mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab-on-a-chip analytic systems, self-cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.
In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award-winning product designed by Porsche Design Studio and sold via the mPower website: http://www.mpowertech.com. More information about the company can be found at http://www.mPhaseTech.com.

Juhl Wind, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results, Revenue Up 276%
Nine Months Revenue Increases over 245% from 2010, Company Holds Over $6 Million in Cash
Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, reported Tuesday its results for the third quarter of 2011. Revenue for the third quarter 2011 was $3,259,000 compared to $867,000 in the third quarter of 2010, or an increase of 276%. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , the Company posted a record $10.9 million in revenue and $2.4 million in net income. Juhl Wind also reported continued growth in its cash position due to development fees, ending the first nine months of 2011 with approximately $6 million in cash.
"We are very proud of our results through the third quarter of 2011 as we continue a historic year for our company," stated Dan Juhl , Chairman and CEO of Juhl Wind Inc. "Our financial results are a direct result of our work on six major wind projects during a very difficult time in our economy - which we believe is direct evidence of Juhl Wind 's leading position in the energy industry. These projects include Adams , Danielson, Grant County , Valley View, Winona County and Woodstock Municipal. We have fully developed, managed construction and brought most of these projects into full service over the past two years and will be wrapping up work on all of them in the last quarter of this year."
"When combined with our previous experience, these projects bring our total project count to 20 wind farms - a level reached by few independent firms in this sector," added John Mitola , President of Juhl Wind .

Revenue for the third quarter 2011 was $3,259,000 compared to $867,000 in the third quarter of 2010, or an increase of 276%. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to approximately $5.0 million of wind farm development fee revenue from three wind farm projects that completed financing arrangements during 2011 and approximately $1.7 million in revenue from the sale of our development rights in the Crofton Hills project.
* Our Operating Income of approximately $4,264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the increased wind farm development fee revenue which provides high margin of profitability upon revenue recognition. Our operating income for the third quarter increased by approximately $1,019,000 , or 193%, from an operating loss of approximately $529,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to operating income of approximately $490,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 . The increase in operating income for the quarter is primarily related to the sale of our development rights on the Crofton Hills project although we did see increases in investor relations expenses to heighten exposure of Juhl Wind 's stock and operating expenses associated with the take-over of the Woodstock wind farm during its lower wind production months.
* Our Net Income of $2,419,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 represents a $4,328,000 improvement in the bottom-line from the comparative quarter a year ago. The increase in net income over the nine-month period is largely attributable to the increased revenue sources noted under revenue and operating income sections above. Our net income is impacted by inconsistent revenue patterns of our wind farm development services business as revenue recognition is significantly impacted by the timing of the completion and financing of wind farm projects.
* Basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.10 income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compares to the $0.10 loss per common share for the comparative nine months ended in 2010.
* As of September 30, 2011 , the Company reported it held approximately $6.0 million in the form of cash and short term investments, which includes approximately $422,000 in balances that are restricted by a debt covenant.
A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 2011 is available in the Company's Form 10-Q, which is available on the Company's website at www.juhlwind.com.
