NextDecade to certify natgas emissions for Texas Rio Grande LNG

(Reuters) - U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer NextDecade Corp said Monday it joined with Project Canary to certify the greenhouse gas intensity of LNG to be sold from its proposed Rio Grande export plant in Texas.

Rio Grande is one of 13 North American projects planning to make final investment decisions in 2021, most of which were carried over from 2020 when just one started construction. Most analysts, however, expect only one or two projects to go forward this year, including Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines in Louisiana.

Analysts at Cowen & Co have said NextDecade’s efforts to provide “cleaner” LNG could attract enough customers to allow the company to sanction Rio Grande.

Project Canary, which provides data on responsibly sourced gas, will certify emissions from the gas wellhead to Rio Grande.

“Project Canary’s independent measurement and certification platform will provide transparency and give confidence to our customers who are increasingly focused on securing low greenhouse gas-intensive LNG,” NextDecade Chief Executive Matt Schatzman said in a statement.

The True Power of On-Demand Pay

On-Demand Pay (ODP) is clearly the future — there’s no turning back now. But ODP’s success is based on much more than just transferring money before payday.

A successful ODP program is only achievable when the product, technology and experience speak to the needs of both the employer and employee. When that happens — it’s a win-win.

The first win is employees who love the ODP program. A great ODP program results in high adoption. Employers only get value out of the ODP program from the users who adopt. 

DailyPay has 300+% higher adoption than any other ODP vendor in the industry. As a result, unlike the Walmart program, DailyPay’s partners show significant turnover improvement (two of our largest partners reduced turnover by 44.7%and 35.6%, as of Jan 2021).

Why does DailyPay have such high adoption?

On the surface, it may sound pretty straightforward. Under the hood, it’s only possible through an extremely complex network of people, integrations, payments, data, technology, partnerships and much more. 

The key to a successful ODP program is not earned wage access, savings, bill pay, etc – those are just use cases. It’s the employee’s available balancethat holds all the power.

Colorado Firm Urges Gas Industry to Fix Its Brand

some of the best-known ones being LNG, NGL, CNG, and LPG. A Denver-based environmental services firm aims to make another three-letter abbreviation – RSG – commonplace in the industry.

Short for “responsibly sourced gas,” RSG is a designation from a third party verifying that gas was produced with high environmental and social standards.

“RSG is the beginning of a multi-year appropriate rebranding of natural gas,” Chris Romer, CEO and co-founder of Project Canary – the independent third party ensuring that gas meets strict criteria on behalf of clients such as utilities and LNG buyers. “It’s reestablishing the appropriate brand equity with natural gas.”

Reify Health and SubjectWell Launch Partnership to Boost Patient Recruitment for Clinical Trials

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reify Health, provider of leading cloud-based solutions that empower the clinical trial ecosystem, and SubjectWell, the risk-free clinical trials marketplace, today announced an innovative partnership aimed at streamlining the workflow of research sites to manage patient referrals from sponsor-driven recruitment campaigns. With this pairing, referrals from SubjectWell’s marketplace are delivered directly into Reify Health’s StudyTeam™, offering a common platform for sites and sponsors to manage pre-screening, enrollment, and reporting for clinical trials.

During clinical trials, sites are faced with burdensome tasks that impede the work of patient care. Once a site’s database has been exhausted for patient referrals, additional recruiting relies on multiple sources, such as site- and sponsor-driven campaigns. Traditionally, sites then manually keep track of complicated referral feeds across studies and sources, creating a bottleneck in the enrollment funnel. Sites spend extensive time and effort updating various online environments to untangle data and manage the flow of information, instead of on high-value activities like pre-screening and patient care. Sponsors and clinical research organizations (CROs) are also forced to check multiple sources for patient updates to monitor study progress.
