Kontrol Energy CEO Paul Ghezzi discusses Kontrol BioCloud®, a detector of airborne COVID-19. What if we had technology that detected COVID-19 while we await for a COVID-19 treatment or vaccine – technology that can tell us in real time that the virus is present? According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables and The Solar Foundation, solar energy in the USA has experienced an average annual growth rate of 49% per year over the past decade. What aided this growth were U.S. federal policies such as the solar Investment Tax Credit, rapidly declining costs, and increasing demand across the private and public sector for clean electricity.

Through the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, health officials have inundated us with messaging about washing our hands thoroughly and regularly. This has morphed into a culture of not touching anyone or anything, including paper money. Some businesses fear that paper money carries the coronavirus and can transmit it to whomever handles it. Some businesses have gone as far to disinfect banknotes they accept (a new form of money laundering). Whether or not you believe in the theory of anthropological climate change, you cannot deny that Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) investing is a real trend. Greenhouse gas emission regulations are in the crosshairs of institutional investors. UGE International (“UGE” or the “Company”) is a solar and renewable energy solutions company leading the renewable energy transition.

To reduce hydrocarbon dependency, many green energy activists are targeting oil and liquified natural gas (“LNG”) pipelines. This focus shift away from energy producers aims to prevent the expansion of and upgrades to America’s 2.7 million miles of pipeline infrastructure. One reason is that unlike oil and gas deposits, pipelines typically cross state, county, and city boundaries. This translates into more permitting requirements and legal reviews which, in some cases, can lead to a decade or more of project delays. Kontrol Energy makes buildings smarter in real-time.
