On January 20, 2012, Sustainable Capital Corp.  announced that it is currently assisting two companies in completing an IPO in the first half of 2012.

1) EMERGENT WASTE SOLUTIONS

Emergent Waste Solutions (EWS),a British Columbia Company, is marketing and deploying the Advanced Pyrolysis System (APS) technology, an innovative, secure, safe, efficient and proven method of converting waste materials into marketable products such as activated carbon, fertilizer and fuel oil. The APS technology is designed to answer the global challenge of waste disposal by utilizing a cost effective waste conversion process that is safe, non-polluting, non toxic and compatible with Canadian environmental standards.

APS TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES

The proprietary, patent pending APS technology employs leading edge pyrolysis technology for waste conversion incorporating the best features of traditional pyrolysis systems with a second and third stage gasification process. This enables the APS technology to convert a variety of organic waste materials such as: wood waste, livestock and municipal sewage sludge, plastic waste, coal, used tires and petrochemical compounds.

BUSINESS MODEL

The EWS business model is to sell Joint Venture business opportunities exploiting the APS-technology to third parties. These third parties can be strategic partners like waste producers and waste management companies, but also other interested investors. An investment of $8M is required for 50% ownership of a Joint venture operating an APS2000.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

• Exit Strategy: IPO • IRR at 5 years: 162% • Carbon Savings: 3 million tonnes CO2 equivalent by year 5.

2) BIODEGRADABLE TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERSHIP (BTP)

Biodegradable Technologies Partnership (BTP), a Vancouver-based partnership, is initially focused on commercializing a proprietary biodegradable packaging technology, which is internationally patented. The pat­ented technology is disruptive, near-term commercially viable, and competitively priced.

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP

The Company’s competitive edge lies in its Patent-Pending formulation, and the flexibility of the formula allows for local, global, low cost inputs to produce a consistent, similar cup, bowl or tray. This is a significant advantage over paper packag­ing producers who rely solely on forests and forest bi-product inputs. BTP will be able to source inputs from a variety of regions and crops. Keeping the cost of inputs low is the key to competitive pricing.

BUSINESS MODEL

The technology has been proven to work in existing equipment from Franz Haas, one of the world’s leading manufactures of molds and technical equipment for the packaging industry. The revenue model is going to be royalty-based on a per cup or per plate basis.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The Company is in the midst of raising capital as part of completing a Reverse Take Over (RTO) with a CPC.

On January 9 , 2012, Sustainable Capital released a Cleantech Stock Horizon Report on Natcore Technology Inc. (NXT:NAT).

Natcore’s technology aims to make solar energy economically viable by providing an eco-friendly and cost effective way to grow the necessary anti-reflective (AR) thin-film coating in solar cells. The AR coating is an important component of the solar cell as the AR coating eliminates reflected light and maximizes transmitted light in an a solar cell. Natcore’s Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) thin-film coating technology enables the creation of high efficiency (30%) tandem solar cells and has the potential to make solar energy viable without government subsidies. Additionally, Natcore’s coating technology has applications beyond the solar realm.

On August 30, 2011, Sustainable Capital is pleased to announce that Shawn Boire, CFA, a vetern analyst and portfolio manager, has joined its research team.

Shawn was an analyst for Fidelity Canada and Pyramis for nearly 8 years. He moved through four different rotations (small caps, consumer, energy & technology and a U.S. broad coverage assignment.) He was primary lead on over 500 companies in both Canada and U.S. markets during his tenure. He also managed sub portfolios of three different portfolios (FICL Discipline Equity, FICL Global Natural Resources and FIL Industrial Pool) where he contributed positive absolute and relative performance. The assets under management in the sub-portfolios ranged from $25MM to $300MM.

Shawn’s biggest and longest assignment was the Canadian energy sector (along with all global peers for reference and portfolios). He was the prime analyst for almost four years responsible for recommendations, models and relationships with management teams for Integrated, E&P & services companies of all sizes. Shawn ranked highly during his tenure with above average metrics in accuracy and value added contributions.  Shawn recently was a Portfolio Manager at Blumont Capital managing the Blumont North American Fund. Shawn designed and constructed this unique fund to invest in North American small and mid-cap stocks. The fund outperformed its benchmark by 940bps during its existence before a change in mandate.

We believe Shawn is a valuable addition to our research team and we look forward to working with Shawn on future research reports.

On August 20, 2011, Sustainable Capital’s partner and Cleanteach & Sustainable Energy analyst, Sabrina Tsai, was invited to be the new Cleantech and Alternative Power Contributor for The Prospector: Exploration and Investment News (The Prospector).

“Frequently I have people asking me how to invest in green while having a good return on their investments at the same time. I am excited to write for the magazine as it is a great way to reach out to investor seeking information on cleantech and renewable energy investment opportunities. The clean tech and energy sector is growing at a much more rapid rate than the traditional energy sector. Vancouver is considered one of the top cleantech cities in the world because it has so many green entrepreneurs and small companies locally that it attracts capital from the Silicon Valley, a traditional source of green VC capital. The same investment opportunities should be visible to the general investing public, rather than a select group of investors.” says Sabrina.

Sabrina’s first article will be in the October issue of The Prospector.
