☆ This little-known clean energy play is gaining momentum and could jump nearly 70%, says Stifel

It's time to buy Chart Industries as the clean energy play gathers momentum, Stifel said. This comes after Stifel hosted Chart Industries CEO Jill Evanko at its own conference. GTLS 1D mountain Chart Industries shares 1-day Those bullish comments are partly driven by Chart Industries' recent acquisition of Howden , a maker of air and gas products, earlier this year. "With a 40% capture rate, which they expect, this potentially presents $320 million for the next 12 months," Nolan wrote. Additionally, Chart Industries should benefit from strong and growing demand, especially as the government ramps up spending in clean energy technology.

☆ Tellurian in $1 bln deal for Driftwood LNG project land, shares surge
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

April 6 (Reuters) - U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer Tellurian Inc (TELL.A) will sell 800 acres of land in Louisiana for $1 billion to an undisclosed institutional investor, the company said on Thursday. He added that the lease would create a 40-year liability of $87.5 million annually that would escalate by 3% yearly. The Driftwood project has seen many setbacks including the cancellation of some LNG supply deals after two major potential customers last year raised concerns around the company's ability to finish the project. The project, which received regulatory approvals in January to begin construction, is expected to produce 27.6 million tonnes per annum of LNG when ready. The deal disclosed on Thursday is contingent on several factors including Driftwood LNG LLC, Tellurian's subsidiary, securing financing commitments for Phase 1 of the project on terms satisfactory to the buyer.
