On Wednesday, a day before the official announcement, Keith Schaefer, a well-known newsletter writer in the US, published a "teaser" that he plans to publish an article the next day on Thursday. Some of his readers obviously knew immediately that it was about Zinc8. His readworthy follow-up article on Zinc8 can be found here on his website, providing a good overview of Zinc8 and the significance of Thursday´s announcement, copied below: 

ZINC8 (ZAIR-CSE / ZAIRF-OTCQB) IS THE ENERGY STORAGE KEY TO RENEWABLE POWER SOURCES

US$9 M Today from New York State

Zinc8 Energy Solutions (ZAIR-CSE / ZAIRF-OTCQB) has the best energy storage solution for 50,000 large New York City building owners who are rushing to comply with the Local Law 97 of the city’s Climate Mobilization Act.

Everybody in New York sees this—that’s why Zinc8 was able to announce that Empire State Development has agreed to provide up to US$9 million in performance- based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits this morning to help get their solution operational ASAP. NINE MILLION US BUCKS.

This validates their technology, their business—and how much Market and political demand there is for a real energy storage solution! That’s a huge tailwind!

Industry and gov’t are rallying around Zinc8 to make them a success. See that both NY Governor Hochul AND NY Senator Chuck Schumer issued news releases on getting Zinc8 into New York State.

New York’s Climate Act calls for the State to hit 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% zeroemissions electricity by 2040. They want 6 GW of energy storage by 2030. Zinc8 has already been declared best-in-class in two different competitions in NY.

Zinc8’s development curve, the install curve—everything will start to speed up now. And the stock is 24 cents.

Everybody sees the benefit—low cost, almost no heat, years of full charge/discharge and even then only have to replace the low cost electrolyte… and when I say low cost–I mean MUCH lower cost per kilowatt hour. Remember this chart from yesterday?

Full size

With those cost savings, OF COURSE the NYC Department of Buildings, the Real Estate Board of New York, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and NY State Senator–-and Senate Majority Leader–-Chuck Schumer love Zinc8.

Safe. Cheap. Sourced-in-USA. Zinc8’s technology is key—maybe THE KEY–-to renewable energy use for thousands of buildings in New York and across the USA.

And the stock is 24 cents, with millions in the bank before they even get started.

But yesterday, I didn’t tell you how potentially lucrative this could be for Zinc8 in both the near term, and long term.

Again, almost all buildings in New York that are over 25,000 square feet are subject to carbon caps in 2024.

Landlords face BIG penalties for being offside on the carbon cap is going to mean unacceptable financial penalties for these landlords.

Twenty-four US states have targets to reduce their carbon footprint, so this will be a multi-billion dollar market for a couple decades. But in NY state, there is a pressing 2024 deadline. Time is short for New York building owners to find the right solution and install it.

That’s a lot of money that will be getting spent very quickly. That makes the business case for Zinc8 VERY compelling.

This morning, we saw the HUGE funding mechanisms set up to deliver this storage very quickly:

1. There are federal, state and local programs in the billions of dollars

2. There are others in the tens of billions of dollars

3. There are even those in the hundreds of billions of dollars

Full size

This US$9 million is just ONE of several potential funding sources. This funding is both up-front, and in after-the-fact tax credits. Senate Majority Leader Schumer–who put out his own press release on Zinc8 this year–is very public that he is having his office help Zinc8 get the best possible benefit from these programs. TODAY WAS A GREAT START.

I hope you see where this is going–and fast. There is a problem with a deadline. Zinc8 has the solution, and now has vocal friends in high places.

The kicker here is—if you are a qualified producer of energy storage, you automatically qualify for funding. Some of this US$60 billion in funding is available up-front, some in back end tax credits (which can be SOLD! for hard cash).

Have I mentioned this is a 24 cent stock this week? And Zinc8 already has millions in the bank, before any of these non-dilutive funding programs kick in?

And folks, this money is in addition to what they sell their energy storage unit for; this is above and beyond their regular business.

“We´re extremely lucky to be in this place at this time,” Zinc8 CEO Ron MacDonald told me in an interview.

Now look, MacDonald and his team have to execute on this plan still. But it has all been laid out for them by NY State and their 2024 mandate, and with these non-dilutive capital sources. MacDonald is a former federal politician in Canada, so he speaks Hochul and Schumer’s language.

ZINC IS POSSIBLY THE HOLY GRAIL OF ENERGY STORAGE

Zinc-air energy storage is so simple – zinc and oxygen – but it took years of research by the Zinc8 team to make it ready for industry to install it in a large way.

Here is how it works:

1-Power from the grid or renewable source generates zinc particles in their proprietary machine called a Zinc Regenerator. Oxygen is the only by-product.

2-The zinc particles flow to the Storage Tank and are kept in a potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte until required.

3- When power is needed, zinc particles are sent to the Power Stack, mixed again with oxygen to generate electricity. The zinc oxide (ZnO) by-product is returned to the storage tank for later regeneration.

Cheap, long-lasting (forever!) and safe (almost no heat!). After millions of charges and discharges, there is NO loss of charging capacity in the Zinc8 energy storage battery; ZERO LOSS.

And the primary ingredients of zinc-air batteries are plentiful–which keeps costs low. Lithium prices have soared–zinc, not so much. Air remains free. When it comes to input costs, free is good.

Zinc-air batteries are also safer because they are not flammable (have you seen those lithium batteries on fire in Tesla’s?), and are non-toxic.

But what clinches the deal here is that for long duration energy there is no comparison on a cost basis. No comparison.

CONCLUSION: New York Is The Catalyst But The Future Is EVERYWHERE 

The near-term revenue opportunity in front of Zinc8 is obvious. That will be the rush from tens of thousands of buildings that stand to benefit from utilizing Zinc8’s energy storage to comply with Local Law 97 carbon caps.

For the building owners Zinc8’s energy storage doesn’t just help them comply with carbon cap regulations. It also helps them save money.

By allowing the building owners to tap into energy supply away from peak hours and store it (rather than consume it live during peak times) Zinc8’s management believes that building owners energy cost can drop to 10 cents per kilowatt hour versus 30 or 40 cents during peak times.

Suddenly the only storage solution also looks like it can pay for itself.

There is a ‘catch’ of course. Zinc8 has to manufacture their energy storage machines in the USA to be able to sell there (current manufacturing is in Canada). But I have laid out all the non-dilutive capital that will position Zinc8–in just a few months–to begin selling in the US.

Everybody wants this. Zinc8’s technology provides the longer duration energy storage that the world desperately needs to make The Big Jump to renewable energy.

Even better is–the longer the energy storage is needed, the cheaper the energy price Zinc8 can deliver.

Zinc8’s technology fixes that multi-trillion-dollar hole. And the full scale of opportunity in front of this $40 million company is basically…limitless.

The economics are now as compelling as the need for Zinc8 technology. Everything is ready to roll out. Industry recognition is in place. Political support is in place. Zinc8 already has millions in the bank.

The stock is only 24 cents. The timing could not be better. I’m excited, and I’m long.

Zinc8´s technology has been developed around the utilization of zinc as the anode fuel, which is expected to offer advantages over other metals due to its high energy density, abundant availability, low cost, and ease of storage and handling. When the system is delivering power, the zinc particles are combined with oxygen drawn from the surrounding air. When the system is recharging, zinc particles are regenerated, and oxygen is returned to the surrounding air. The regenerative system does not require fuel replacement and offers scalable energy capacity through the simple introduction of additional fuel tanks.

Zinc8 first connected with New York State through the New York Power Authority´s Clean Energy Innovation Challenge in 2019 which sought new technologies and business models to solve for the state´s energy challenges. Zinc8 won the challenge and embarked upon deployment of the first use of its novel zinc-air energy storage system, the first phase of which will go live this year. As the winner of the Challenge, Zinc8 entered into an agreement with New York Power Authority (NYPA) to install a 100- kilowatt/1 megawatt-hour (kW/MWh) system at SUNY flagship the University at Buffalo, to increase campus resiliency and advance energy storage technology.

Additionally, Zinc8 announced a deployment agreement with Digital Energy Corp., a private sector engineering firm in New York State for a 100-kW/1.5-MWh energy storage system. The project will demonstrate the benefits and economic value of Zinc8´s Energy Storage System in an existing behind-the-meter Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant in New York City. The Project was awarded financial support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

Zinc8 was also named a "Best-in-Class" solution in the Energy Storage Category of the 2022 PropTech Challenge, which focused on sustainable developments and ongoing efforts by the real estate industry to reduce emissions throughout the build environment.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said, "When it came to the asbestos-ridden former Tech City site, we knew: if we clean it up, they will come. And Zinc8´s 500 good-paying jobs and $68 million in cutting-edge manufacturing investment is proof positive that when you invest in fighting climate change, you can create good-paying jobs, new economic growth, and a brighter future for our communities," said Senator Schumer. "I applaud Zinc8 for their commitment to Ulster County and Governor Hochul for her support for the project and look forward to continuing to work hand-in-hand to power New York´s leadership as a global battery manufacturing hub."

Representative Pat Ryan said, "This is a huge win not just for Ulster County and the Hudson Valley, but for the entire state of New York. I´ve proudly fought to turn around iPark 87 since my first day as County Executive and led the charge with National Resources, the EPA, Governor Hochul and Senator Schumer to revitalize this important site. Zinc8´s manufacturing facility will bring hundreds of good-paying, green jobs to the region, and sends a statement that the Hudson Valley will be at the forefront of economic development in New York State for decades to come."

Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger said, "When I served in the State Senate and worked to pass New York´s nation-leading Climate Act, I spoke often of the significant economic benefits to our communities that this law promised. With companies like Zinc8 coming to Ulster we are now seeing the fruits of this law materialize: the creation of family-sustaining jobs in cutting edge industries that build a ladder into the middle class. I want to thank Governor Hochul for her forward-looking leadership in supporting the right kind of investment in Ulster County, and look forward to working with her administration on workforce development initiatives to complement this investment and provide the trained workforce we need for the green economy."

Ron MacDonald, President, CEO, and Director of Zinc8 Energy Solutions, said, "The historic measures taken by New York State to reach ambitious carbon neutrality goals are driving clean energy innovation and Zinc8 is committed to being an integral part of New York´s green economy. We applaud Governor Hochul´s clear directive to put legislation and state resources towards resolving the climate crisis, while building investment opportunities and sustainable jobs for New Yorkers."

Joseph Cotter, Co-Founder of National Resources, said, "i.Park 87 and the Think District represent an opportunity to totally transform this former IBM campus into a vibrant new community that is focused on innovation, sustainability and future living for Ulster County. Given the challenges that this property possesses, iPark would not be here without the strong support of Empire State Development and the Governor."

Zinc8´s move to the Mid-Hudson Region complements Governor Hochul´s 2023 clean energy agenda. Under Governor Hochul´s leadership, New York has advanced the nation´s most aggressive policies to combat climate change, safeguard clean water and our natural environment, promote environmental justice, and advance the green economy.

In her 2023 State of the State Governor Hochul is proposing critical initiatives that will make a difference in the lives of all New Yorkers. The Cap-and-Invest Program, which was unveiled last week, will create an economywide Cap-and-Invest Program that establishes a declining cap on greenhouse gas emissions, invests in programs that drive emissions reductions in an equitable manner prioritizing disadvantaged communities, limits costs to economically vulnerable households, and maintains the competitiveness of New York industries. In addition, Governor Hochul will propose legislation to create a universal Climate Action Rebate that is expected to drive more than $1 billion in future cap-and-invest proceeds to New Yorkers every year.

Additionally, Governor Hochul outlined a new framework for the State to achieve a nation-leading six gigawatts of energy storage by 2030, which represents at least 20 percent of the peak electricity load of New York State. The roadmap, submitted by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the New York State Department of Public Service to the Public Service Commission for consideration, proposes a comprehensive set of recommendations to expand New York´s energy storage programs to cost-effectively unlock the rapid growth of renewable energy across the state and bolster grid reliability and customer resilience. If approved, the roadmap will support a buildout of storage deployments estimated to reduce projected future statewide electric system costs by nearly $2 billion, in addition to further benefits in the form of improved public health because of reduced exposure to harmful fossil fuel pollutants. Today´s announcement supports the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals to generate 70 percent of the state´s electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and 100 percent zero-emission electricity by 2040.

In addition to New York´s own green investments, the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides tremendous opportunities to leverage state and private investments that have already been committed across the state. The IRA will reduce costs to New York to help meet the requirements of the Climate Act by approximately $70 billion through 2050 and is expected to provide unprecedented funding to reduce consumer energy costs, slash carbon emissions and pollution, ensure energy security and resilience, increase energy innovation and domestic manufacturing, and advance environmental justice.

New York State´s nation-leading climate agenda is the most aggressive climate and clean energy initiative in the nation, calling for an orderly and just transition to clean energy that creates jobs and continues fostering a green economy as New York State recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Enshrined into law through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act), New York is on a path to achieve its mandated goal to reach economy-wide carbon neutrality, including a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040 with 70 percent renewable energy generation by 2030. It builds on New York´s unprecedented investments to ramp-up clean energy, including more than $21 billion in 91 large-scale renewable projects across the state, $6.8 billion to reduce buildings emissions, $1.8 billion to scale up solar, more than $1 billion for clean transportation initiatives, and more than $1.2 billion in NY Green Bank commitments.

With the implementation of the Climate Act, a clean energy workforce will be in demand. Results from a 2021 Jobs Study issued by the New York State Climate Action Council´s Just Transition Working Group, show that in the 21 growing sub-sectors total employment will increase by more than 60 percent from 2019 to 2030 - adding at least 211,000 new jobs in New York State. Additionally, clean energy jobs in New York State reached a record level of 165,000 workers at the end of 2021, helping to lead New York´s COVID-19 economic recovery by recouping the clean energy jobs lost in 2020 and exceeding pre-COVID-19 clean energy employment levels by 1,300 jobs.
